WHITE CLOVER FOR LAWNS 
Wild White Clover — Best clover for lawns. When kept 
cut at lawn length, this clover shows scarcely any blooms, 
This is the type of clover which is found in the wonderful 
English lawns, and we recommend it highly. The flant is 
creeping in habit, low growing and tenacious. It is incon- 
spicuous and blends readily with the companion grasses 
forming a thick velvety sward which remains green all 
summer. Wild white clover actually takes nitrogen from 
the air and adds it to the soil thus improving the growth 
of companion grasses. The leaves are smaller than White 
Dutch Clover and it blossoms much less, A very light seeding 
in the spring (1 lb. to 7500 sq. ft.) will get Wild White 
Clover started. 1 oz. 25c, 4% lb. 75c, 1 lb. $2.25, 2 lbs. $4.25, 
5 lbs. or more at $2.00 a pound, transportation paid. 
SEASIDE CREEPING BENT 
Best for Putting Green — This is the true creeping type 
and forms a very dense sod of beautiful dark green color, 
with narrow leaves. Will stand very close cutting and 
resist hard wear. We offer the true Seaside Creeping Bent. 
Sow one pound to 300 sq. feet. 1 lb. $1.50, 2 Ibs. $2.85, 
5 lbs. $6.75, 10 lb. $13.00, prepaid. 
Domestic Rye Grass. For Cover Crops. Sow broadcast in 
corn, tomatoes or cabbage at time of last cultivation at the 
rate of about 15 Ibs. per acre. It does not compete with 
crops before harvest but makes a strong growth in the 
fall. Forms a dense mass of fibrous roots which go d:wn 
to plow depth. A most economical method of keeping up 
the humus content of the soil. It is also excellent to supply 
organic matter in home gardens. Sow between rows at 
last cultivation or in midsummer among vine crops. Use 
1 lb. to 1000 sq. feet. 1 Ib. 30c, 2 lbs. 55c, 5 Ibs. $1.50, trans- 
portation paid. Not paid: 100 Ibs. $13.50.

tember, 1 Ib. 40c, 5 lbs. $1.75, prepaid. 
Dwarf Essex Rape — This valuable plant which belongs 
to the cabbage family, produces a mass of broad leaves 
which are greatly relished by sheep and hogs. It can be 
pastured off and if the stock is removed before it is eaten 
to close, will grow up again. Does well on any good soil 
but does best on rather most land. The seed is usually sown 
broadcast, from the Ist to the 15th of August. This seed 
is far superior to that usually sold. Lb. 40c, transportation 
paid, Not paid: 10 lbs. $2.60, 25 lbs. or more at 25c per ib.;
