The small additional cost for the best and cleanest seed is money well invested, when the prime importance of securing a good stand with freedom from noxious or trouble- some weeds is considered. While the seed we offer is all of high germi- nating power, we advise .sowing a liberal quantity to insure a satisfactory stand, as the extra cost of five or ten pounds of additional seed per acre is very slight as compared with cost of plowing and reseeding, aside from the loss of a season's crop of hay or pasturage. The coniinon or Red Medium Clover, frequently called Co7a Grass, and its larger type, the Mammoth Pea-Vine Clover, are the varieties usually sown in the Northern and Middle Western States, either alone or in addition to other grasses.
