Clover Seeds 
ALL ARE OF CHOICEST QUALITY, 
NEW CROP SEEDS OF HIGH GERMINATION, 
FREE FROM WEED SEEDS, 
having been recleaned by our up-Todate machinery. Com 
sidering this superior grade, and the unusually short crop of 
many seeds—especially of Timothy and Clover, our prices will be 
found very low. Prices subject to variation without notice. 
ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. ( Medicago Sativa.) A Clover-like, leguminous plant of 
great importance as a hay and forage crop, nutritious and rich in protein elements. 
It grows 2 to 5 feet high and roots 8 to 12 feet deep. It needs one season to become 
established, after which it yields enormous crops annually for many years. 1 wo to six 
cuttings per season, aggregating three to eight tons cured hay per acre, are harvested, 
according to conditions and locality. It does well on all good rich soils (except heavy 
clay), if well drained, or overlaying a permeable subsoil; on calcareous soil it thrives 
especially well. Sow in the Northeastern States during June July or August 30Mto 
40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, or 25 to .30 lbs. if drilled; the latter is advisable 
so that cultivation may be given; in the South sow in February or September. 
Price, 30c. lb.; $16.25 bush, of 60 lbs.; $26.00, 100 lbs.

OF SAMPLES from various sources and comparison of purity, germination and price, 1 have decided on ordering of you the greater proportion of grass
