COMPLETE LIST OF 
QRASSES m CLOVERS. 
Prices subject to variation. Special quotations for large quantities. 
description see “ Henderson’s American Farmers’ Manual,” aP X»?"on. 
At the World’s Fair we received over thirty medals and awards, 
fourteen of which were granted to Grasses and Clovers 
for superior quality and purity of sample. 
A FARMER who pays little attention to the selection 
_ of Timothy, Clover and other grass seed, but buys 
from country merchants (who, however well-intentioned, seldom have suf¬ 
ficient expert knowledge in this matter to protect their customers), will in a 
few years invariably 7 - find that he is growing more weeds than grass, and 
naturally concludes farming is a failure. On the market there is a much 
larger quantity r of foul than of pure seed which will find its way to the farmer 
through some channel, the ultimate restilts of which must be appalling. 
Besides offering Grass Seeds and Clover by the lb., 100 lbs. and bushel, we give the standard weight per bushel.
