THEILMANN SEED CO.’S CATALOGUE 
CLOVER AND GRASS SEED 
The market on the above seed will be somewhat higher than last year, and at the present 
time, we believe, it will be well enough to buy earlier, as we understand the clover is very short. 
Let us figure with you on your wants. 
Alsyke. Native of Sweden; perfectly hardy; 
does not heave in winter. Unsurpassed for bees.

Medium Red. The common variety. Market

riety of clover used extensively on poor ground

valuable and widely known pasture grass. Market price.

Rough Stalk Meadow (Poa Trivialis). Recommended for shady lawns, also a rich pasture grass. 
Crested Dogstail (Cynosurus Cristatus). Fine leaved grass for lawn and pasture. 
SUDAN GRASS 
A forage crop of immense value. It is strictly an annual and dies each year like millet and 
must be seeded again each spring. Sudan Grass grows tall, reaching a height of six to nine feet. 
Sow in rows 18 to 42 inches apart and cultivate like corn, or it can be drilled in with a grain 
drill, or sown broadcast by hand. If sown broadcast, about 20 pounds required per acre. If 
drilled in rows, four to eight pound 1 , of seed is sufficient. 
THEILMANN’S LAWN GRASS 
This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the purpose of quickly producing a per¬ 
manent lawn. It is prepared by a careful blending of different grasses to produce a thick, vel¬ 
vety appearance so much sought after. Many of the choicest lawns in our city have been seeded 
down with this mixture and have proven satisfactory. 
THEILMANN’S “SHADY PLACE” GRASS 
We have a special lawn mixture for shady places. The grasses used in making this mixture 
are only those that are well adapted for growingin the shade, and as it blends well with our regu¬ 
lar Lawn Grass Mixture, it may be used on those portions of the lawn which are shaded by trees, 
buildings etc. 
ALFALFA, OR LUCERNE CLOVER 
The cultivation of ALFALFA is lately becoming of widespread interest. There has been an 
erroneous impression that it could only be grown in certain favored localities, but this idea has 
been exploded and with proper treatment and the right seed success is certain. The crop may be 
cut from three to four times a year, producing from a ton to a ton and a half at each cutting. By 
raising it the farmer not only produces large quantities of forage, but at the same time he is en¬ 
riching his field for future crops, as it is a great nitrogen gatherer. The matter of SEED is of the 
greatest importance. We secure our supply from Canada, only a few miles from Buffalo, and it is, 
therefore, acclimated and much superior to seed that is grown in Utah or Kansas, the usual source 
of supply. We have submitted samples to the Government and they have reported it pure and we 
are, therefore able to furnish the most desirable seed that can be obtained. Market price.
