Nothing adds more to the attractiveness of a rural home than a well-kept lawn. The first requisite is good seed, and for this purpose nothing better than our Lawn Grass Mixture can be had. We use the best quality of the finest, varieties of natural grasses, embracing such as are of neat growth, hardy, and best adapted to produce a permanent and fine turf. Quantity required to seed a lawn well should be from 1 to \}/2 pounds for about 300 square feet, or area 25x15 feet. Per lb., postpaid, 40 cts.; per bus., $3. ALFALFA. Has become the leading hay and pas ture grass for this section, producing more hay and pasture per acre than any other grass now known. It succeeds best on bottom or second bottom land, where the tap-roots can penetrate and reach water. It does well if planted with grain crop, the whole being cut for hay in the spring, and can be cut again the first year; the second year it will attain a growth from which may be cut three crops of \y2 to 2 tons each per acre. If not pastured too closely or water allowed to stand on it, Alfalfa will continue to grow many yeai's, some fields seeded twenty years ago being as good as ever. It will produce a greater yield by irrigating, but will stand a severe drought, having a long tap-root, which draws moisture from below the surface. For hay it should be cut when in bloom, and put in the stack before it becomes dry enough to break in handling. Under favorable cir- cumstances it will produce 5 to 6 tons per acre per per vear. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 10 to 123/cts. (by mail, 25 cts.); per 100 lbs., $8 to $10. RED CLOVER. (Trifolium pratense.) This is the leading variety of Clover, and is more cultivated for hay pasture and as an enricher of the soil than any other. It is best adapted to stiff soils, but does well o
