Bolgiano's "Big Crop" Field Seeds for 1920 



61 



A Field of Boleiano's "Gold" Brand Red Clover Intermingled With Timothy 



Medium Red Clover 



1130. Medium Red Clover. This is regarded as the most valuable of the Glover family and is largely used for pasturage euid 

 hay. Glover adds greatly to the fertUity of the land on which it is grown. It does not exhaust the soil, but enriches it. It makes 

 two crops each year. The 6r8t is usually cut when it is in blossom for hay. The last crop may be harvested for seed, cut for hay 

 or plowed under to add fertility to the soil. For hay, it is particularly well adapted for sowing with Orchard and Tall Meadow Grass, 

 as it ripens at the same time, and sowing these three grasses together will give larger yields and better quality hay than sowing either 

 alone. It is also largely sown with other grasses, both for hay and pasturage. Information as to quantities required per acre when 

 sown in combination with other grasses will be found under the heading of Orchard Grass, Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Timothy. 

 When sown by itself, sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre, either in the Spring or Fall or at the last working of Gorn. Price: "Gold" Brand 

 Fancy Red Glover Seed, Bu. of 60 lbs. 834.00. "SUver" Brand Ghoice Seed, Bu. of 60 lbs. $33.50. Prices fluctuate. 



Mammoth or Spalding Clover 



1131. Mammoth or Sapling Clover. Is similar to Red Glover in 

 appearance of seeds and habits of growth, the difference being larger growth 

 and later maturing. It is often used for hog pastures. As a soil improver to 

 plow under it is considered superior on account of its extra growth. It is a 

 good variety for thin soils or to seed with Timothy, Meadow Fescue, Herd's 

 Grass or Red Top, as it matures about the same time as these grasses. Sow 10 

 to 12 lbs. to the acre when sown alone. When sown with Timothy use 6 lbs. 

 Sapling Glover and 8 lbs. Timothy to the acre. Price: "Gold" Brand Fancy, 

 Bu. of 60 lbs. $34.50. "SUver" Brand Ghoice Seed, Bu. of 60 lbs. $34.00. 



1132. Alsike Clover. Alsike Glover grows thicker and is finer in growth 

 than Red Glover, making better hay and probably more and better grazing. 

 It is also hardier, resisting extremes of heat and drought and also severely 

 cold weather to a remarkable extent. It is perennial and does not Winter kill. 

 It succeeds on a variety of soils, light upland loamy lands as well as stiff bottom 

 lemds. It will do better on moist land than any other Glover. It is surer to 

 give a good stand and make good croiis than either the Red or Mammoth 

 Clover, and in sections where these Glovers have been uncertain Alsike is 

 superseding them altogether. When sown with other grasses it forms a quick 

 undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. It is well adapted for sowing 



with Red Glover, Timothy, Herd's Graiss, as it matures with these grasses, but 

 flowering a little later than Red Glover. Price: "Gold" Brand seed, Bu. of 

 60 lbs. $34.75. "Silver" Ghoice seed, bu. of 60 lbs. $34.00. Write for latest

1122. Meadow Fescue, Randall or English Blue Grass. It makes 

 a most excellent hay and pasturage Grass and is particularly valuable for Fall 

 and Winter pasturage, as it remains green throughout the Winter. It is also 

 a splendid Spring and Summer Grass and usually makes more and thicker 

 leafage than any other Grass. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts like 

 Orchard Grass. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive on it whether dry 

 or green. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as the roots penetrate deep, from 12 

 to 15 inches, it takes extremely dry weather to affect it. It succeeds well in 

 nearly all sections of the South, and should be very largely used for pasturage 

 and hay mixture, being specially suitable for sowing with Red Top and Timothy 

 for hay, or with these and Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat for permanent 

 pasture. Sow either in the Spring or Fall at the rate of 2 bushels to the acre if 

 sown by itself. When sown with Red Top or Timothy sow 1 bushel (14 lbs.) 

 Meadow Fescue, 5 lbs. Fancy Glean Red Top and 6 lbs. Timothy per acre. 

 Sown for grazing mixture with Orchard and Tall Meadow Out Grass, add 

 half a bushel each of these two Grasses. Price: "Gold" Brand, Lb. 45c. 

 Pk. $2.50. Bu. of 24 Lbs. $9.50. 



Tall Meadow Oat Grass 



Grasses 



Orchard Grass 



1123. Tall Meadow Oat. Evergreen Grass. Yielding twice as much 

 hay as Timothy or Orchard Grass, early as Orchand Grass with more leaf and 

 affording better grazing, it is not strange that this grass is becoming so popular. 

 It will keep green all Winter and all Summer; the drought of Midsummers 

 or the cold of Winter does not injure it. It starts growing very early in the 

 Spring, can be cut twice for hay, would yield good grazing until late in the 

 Fall. It contains more flesh and muscle-forming material than Timothy, 

 but it is not so fattening. For hay it should be cut while in bloom. Tall 

 Meadow Oat Grass is best adapted for rather light and dry loamy uplands, 

 but gives excellent results on nearly all soils and better results than any other 

 grass on light, medium or sandy soils. Sown alone use 2 to 3 bushels to the 

 acre, either Spring or Fall. Sown in mixture, use 1 bushel (11 lbs.) Tall Meadow 

 Oat Grass, 1 bushel (14 lbs.) Orchard Grass and 8 lbs. Red Clover. It gives 

 the very best results when sown with Glover. By adding 6 lbs. of Red Top 

 or Herd's Grass to the mixture the grazing will be materially increased. Price: 

 "Gold" Brand Fancy, Lb. 35c. $3.50 Bu. of 11 lbs. 



1114. Orchard Grass. One of the best and most reliable grasses for 

 the Middle and Southern States, either for hay or pasture. It is a very vigorous 

 grower and yields large crops of excellent and most nutritious hay and will last 

 for years in increasing value with proper treatment. It is succulent and nutri- 

 tious and when mowed requires only a few days of seasonable weather to start 

 it growing again aad usually two good crops of hay can be cut in a season. It 

 succeeds well on nearly all soils, but does best on uplands, loamy or moderate 

 stiff soils. Although it will succeed very well even on soils that are inclined to 

 be of a sandy texture. It also succeeds in shady places better than other grasses, 

 especially in orchards. It starts early in the Spring and continues well into 

 Winter. It is of quick growth, and is relished by stock, especially when youtig 

 and beeirs close grazing. It makes excellent hay, and gives the very best results 

 mixed and grown with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover. It should be 

 cut when in blossom, as the hay is injured if the seed is allowed to ripen. It 

 can be sown in the Spring or Fall, either with grain or alone. Sow two bushels 

 per acre if sown alone, or with Red Clover, one and one-half bushels of Orchard 

 Grass and eight pounds of Clover are the quantities usually sown. Price: 

 "Gold" Fancy, Lb. 35c. Bu. of 14 lbs. $4.25. "Silver" Ghoice $4.00 per Bu.
