GRASSES AND CLOVER 
4 
The ideal time for sowing Grass and Clover Seeds, in 
the latitude of Norfolk, is from March to May in the 
spring and from September to November in the fall, ex- 
cept where noted. 
As a rule, most people are far too careless with regard 
to the quality of the grass and clover seeds they buy. 
Like everything else, grasses and clovers may be had to 
order at any price, but the farmer who thinks that he has 
saved money by buying cheap seeds need feel no surprise 
if he fails in getting a stand, or if his fields are covered 
the next season with weeds previously unknown. The 
purity and germination of our grass and clover seeds may 
be relied upon with the same confidence that is univers- 
ally felt with regard to our garden and flower seeds.
