LUCERNE 



The King of 

 Fodder Crops 



THE cultivation of Lucerne and its unsurpassable value as a fodder 

 plant, witfi irrigation, has become generally recognised during 

 the past few years. Lucerne will fatten cattle, sheep, pigs, 

 &c., better than any other feed, and with less expense. Can be cut 

 five or six times duMng a season, and, being perennial, will yield 

 good crops for many years, but it requires regular manuring every year 

 to return to the soil the substance withdrawn by roots and growth. 



All our Lucernes are Specially Machine Cleaned, 

 Hand Sieved, Free from Dodder, and True to 

 Name, and have passed the Government Test.
