EGYPTIAN CLOVER— BERSEEM. 



(Trifolium Alexandrinum.) 



The Great Forage and Soiling Crop of the Nile Valley. An Annual Clover 



yielding immence crops of the most nutritious Forage. Outstrips 



any other crop in the rapidity of its gro^vth. 



Cuttings of 14 TONS TO THE ACRE have been secured 48 days after sowing 

 the seed. While it is not generally known, there are few countries where 

 agriculture pays better than it does in Egypt, and this remarkable clover is the 

 basis of success, for not only does it yield enormous crops of excellent fodder, 

 but it is depended upon almost entirely to furnish the continued fertility of the soil.. 



Value as a Crop on Alkali Soil — Berseem eats down salts and enriches the soil with 

 nitrates. Mr. D. G. Fairchild, of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, describes 

 a tract cf Alkali land in Egypt 30,000 acres in extent reclaimed by Berseem, where 

 horses and cattle were grazing in a luxuriant growth of Berseem, which two years 

 previous -was as barren of vegetation as a bathing beach. 



Heavy Crops Under Irrigation — In the Southern and Western States -where irrigation 

 is practiced Berseem will undoubtedly prove a valuable crop, for it starts into growth 

 with remarkable rapidity — a cutting of 14 tons having been secured of it 4S days after 

 sowing, followed by a second cutting of 13 tons, and a third cutting of 15 tons, making 

 a total of 42 tons of the most palatable and nutritious green fodder from three cuttings. 

 Soiling Value of Berseem — On irrigated lands in California, Texas, Arizona, New 

 Mexico and the Colorado Desert. Berseem should prove exceedingly valuable. It may 

 also be used with advantage in the humid climates of Washington and Oregon in rotation 

 ■with wheat, where thousands of acres lie fallow throughout the -winter. 



Mr. J. W. Pettett, Callan County, Wash., writes: "Egyptian Clover did well. 

 Ten weeks from sowing some of it measured 3 feet 9 inches. It will make a 

 splendid clover for Western Washington." 



Mr. J. F. Littooy, Snohomish County, Wash., writes: "From seed of Berseem 

 sown June 6 I have a growth 2 feet inches, and a good stand Sept. 1. It is a 

 little ahead of Alfalfa sown the same day." 

 The seed we offer is imported direct from Egypt and will be ready to send out early 

 in February. 1 lb. 30c (by mail 40c); 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $5.50; 100 lbs., $20.00.
