The following are a few of its points of ex- cellence : It is very early, and has thus far proved itself rust proof. It has given wonderful results as a yielder, in one instance 174 bushels were grown from one bushel of seed. Straw is stiff and strong. Grain is handsome and is valuable for feeding as well as grinding for oatmeal on account of its thin hull, heavy meat and soft nib.

Dallwig's Emerald Green Grass <3s§—^Mixture. ^^=~ The Lawn Crass Mixture which we offer should not be compared with the cheaper preparations advertised. Our prescription is of the best chosen varieties, as respects color, texture and permanency, and will be found clear of weed seeds. Any one who purchases cheap, badly mjxed Lawn Crass will soon realize that it was a poor investment, as the error will stand out for years in glaring ugliness. The grasses of which "Dallwig's Emerald Green Lawn Mixture" is com- posed will in the shortest time possible produce a beautiful dwarf, compact turf, which will endure the summer heat, and insure a rich, deep green sward throughout the season. We take everv precaution to eliminate as far as possible all weed seeds. Per pound 20c, 6 pounds $1.00 GRASS SEEDS.

Sow 15 to 25 pounds to the acre. (Bushel 45 pounds).
