try run clover seed or seed supplied you from a neighbor that has 
not been tested and cleaned. This is the way foul weeds are introduced 
to your land. Seed containing only 75% pure clean seed is an extrava- 
gant buy even if the price is one-half that of good clean seed showing 
= =n a purity of 98% or better. All the seed that 
we have to offer is Hardy Northern grown, 
mostly Wisconsin. It is fine bright seed, 
plump and high testing. Plant seed that you 
can depend upon. Insist on having Olds’ Old

weeds, but does not show as high a purity 
test. It usually runs 98% and higher.
