ALFALFA or LURCERNE 



Alfalfa Yields Splendidly Throughout the South. Yielding 3 or 4 Cuttings Per 

 Year, Increasing in Yield Each Successive Year. 



Alfalfa ranks higher than timothy hay in feeding value. In fact, it might be termed 

 both corn and hay, as it is almost a complete food. Experiment stations place the 

 feeding value of Alfalfa hay at $20 per ton, as against timothy hay at $12 per ton. This, 

 with the fact that Alfalfa will, under favorable circumstances, after a good stand is 

 secured, give 3 or 4 cuttings per year, and will easily yield, on good land, from 6 to 16 

 tons of splendid hay per year, shows what a valuable crop it is. Lands in the western 

 states that are well set in Alfalfa sell readily at from $100 to $200 per acre; so that a crop 

 of this kind pays for the little extra care and preparation given to secure good stands 

 and good crops. It is better to have five acres well set in Alfalfa, by thorough prepar- 

 ation, than to attempt to put in ten acres without first-class preparation. 



The acreage of Alfalfa is increasing very largely all over the Middle and Southern 

 States, our farmers are fast beginning to realize what a valuable crop it is for this section. 

 Alfalfa will succeed and do well on any good loamy, well-drained soil, but the land 

 must be well and thoroughly prepared for the best results. The plant is rather slendei 

 when it first starts, and it must be grown under favorable conditions, in order to get 

 ahead of the weeds and other grasses which would, under ordinary circumstances, 

 spring up naturally and check it or smother it out. 



Alfalfa should always be cut when just commencing to bloom, whether the plants be 

 large or small. If the seed is allowed to form, the growth of the plant ceases. It should 

 never be used for pasture, it is too valuable as a hay producer to risk injury from stock. 



Alfalfa can be sown either in the spring or fall. The principle requirement in order 

 to obtain good stands and good crops of Alfalfa is to sow in good, rich soil, and give 

 thorough preparation. Alfalfa is usually sown broadcast, at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per 

 acre, although some of our customers claim that thicker seed ings give better crop re- 

 sults. March and April are the best months for seeding in the spring, and the latter 

 part of August and during September the best time in the fall. 



Our Alfalfa seed is the highest grade, strong-germinating seed, of the best and clean- 

 est quality it is possible to procure. The quantity and germination of the seed is a 

 prime requisite for success with this crop. Tand well set in Alfalfa is better than a 

 bank account, producing continuously increasing crops for years to come, so that it is 

 worth a little trouble and expense to secure a first-class stand. Price of choice Alfalfa 

 seed, lb. 13c. Bus. of 60 lbs. $7.80. Price of our "Gold" Brand seed, lb. I5c. 

 Bus. of 60 lbs. $8.10. Price fluctuates. Will quote market prices at any time on request. 

 1129. Crimson Clover Seed. New Crop Extra Choice. The Great Nitrogen 

 Gatherer. — The best crop for hay, soliage and green manuring, Fall, Winter and Spring 

 pasturing. Crimson Clover furnishes an abundance of nutritive forage at seasons when pastures are dead. It is of 

 an unfailing_ supply of manure. It solves the problem of cheap manuring. It is the great nitrogen gatherer and 

 economizer in the use of fertilizers. Valuable for planting in orchards, berry patches, and for sowing among culti- 

 vated crops, such as Cabbage, Corn, Tomatoes, Tobacco. Improves poor land and restores to fertility those that have 

 been worn down by excessive cropping. May be planted in the Spring, Summer or Fall. Splendid for re-seeding 

 Red Clover that has been Winter killed. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. peracre. "Gold" Brand, $4.20 bu. Write for prices. 



1131 MAMMOTH flR 'sAPMNG HI flVFR Is similar to Red Clover in appearance of seed and habits of growth; 



IVIHlimiu I II UN OHI LII1W ULUILII, 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 or Herd's Grass or Red Ton, 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. clover and 8 lbs. Timothy to the acre. "Gold" Brand, $8.10 bu. Choice seed $7.95.

1130 RED CLOVER. 



One of the most valuable farm crops, and is 

 largely used for pasturage and hay, and is an 

 improver of the soil. Red Clover is perennial, and will yield crops several 

 years from one seeding, and on good land will yield two or three cuttings 

 per year. The first crop makes rich feed, and is the most valuable for 

 hay. The second crop does not make so good a quality feed. Red Clover 

 should be cut for hay when in full bloom. For hay, it is particularly well 

 adapted for sowing with Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass, as it ripens 

 at the some time, and sowing these three grasses together will give larger 

 yields and of 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. per acre, either in the 

 fall or spring, or at the last working of corn. Price of our "Gold" Brand 

 Red Clover seed, the choicestand cleanest quality, about $8.10 per bus. 

 Choice quality seed, about $7.95 per bus. Price fluctuates very much. We 

 will quote prices at any time, or will fill any orders entrusted to us at as low 

 prices as possible for first-class seed. 



H33 WHITF TT DVFR This is very lar & el y used in lawn and per- 



W1II1L, ULU ( Ll\i manent pasture mixtures, and is indige- 

 nous to the soils throughout the Middle and Southern States. It makes a 

 small, close, compact growth, covering the ground like a carpet. It affords 

 excellent food for bees. Sow either in the spring or fall. When sown by 

 itself, sow at the rate of 5 to 6 lbs. per acre. It is better, however, sown in 

 mixture with other grasses. "Gold" Brand, 1/4 lb. 10c. lb. 25c. 5 lb $1. 



Experience with this forage plant con- 

 firms its value for the poorer soils of this 

 and other southern states. In places where it was sown several years ago it 

 is found spreading all over the neighborhood, along the roadsides, ditch 

 banks, and over neglected fields; at the same time it is easily subdued by 

 cultivation, and does not in any way prove a pest to cultivated crops. It is 

 chiefly recommended for grazing purposes, although in the far South it 

 yields good crops. It will succeed if sown broadcast on old pastures, broom- 

 sedges, etc., without any preparation, and will soon spread ond grow thickly 

 all over the fields where put in, even taking the place of and driving out 

 broom-sedge and wire grass. For sowing in woods that are used for graz- 

 ing, or any where under the shade of trees where other grasses do not suc- 

 ceed well. Japan Clover is to be strongly recommended, as it succeeds and 

 does better under dense shade than any other grass or Clover. All through- 

 out the summer it makes a dense green carpet which is very attractive and 

 desirable. It is best not to graze it too early the first season, so as to give 

 the seed time to mature and fall, which it is constantly doing all summer 

 from the axil of the leaves. After the first season it can be grazed at any 

 time. We do not recommend this Clover for land that can be successfully 

 grown in other grasses or Clover, but on waste land or poor, worn-out soils 

 it will furnish excellent, nutritious pasturage. Sow at the rate of 10 lbs. per 

 acre, in March or April. It does not make much showing the first year seed 

 is sown. Lb. 25c. Bus. of 25 lbs. $4.25. 



1132 AT CIJ/C PI OVFR This is somewhat similar in growth and 



rtLOllVU VjLU V Ll\. appearance to Red Clover, but it is hardier 

 and stands cold weather better than Red Clover; and where conditions of 

 soil and lateness of seeding make any possibility of winter-killing, it is ad- 

 visable to sow Alsike Clover, or at least to sow it in mixture with other 

 Clovers. It is more suited for mountainous sections than to the coast regions, 

 and it succeeds better on stiff or clay soils than on lighter lands. It is well 

 adapted for sowing with Timothy or Herd's Grass, as it matures with these 

 crops, flowering a little later than the Red Clover. The blooms are not 

 quite so large as the Red Clover, and are of light pink or flesh color. Price 

 of our "Gold" Brand seed, Lb. 15c. Bus. of 60 lbs. about $8. 10.

When ordering state what particular crop i ou desire to inoculate. Crops 

 mentioned on the same line requre the same Bacteria. 



WHAT NITRO-CULTURE IS.— NITRO-CULTURE consists of nitrogen 

 collecting Bacteria which work in the soil and on the roots of leguminous 

 plants, having the power to collect free nitrogen from the air and supply it 

 to the plants. All plants need nitrogen, which is very costly when obtained 

 by chemical process. The remarkable increase of crop frequently reported 

 and caused by in noculation is due wholly to the large amouat of nitrogen 

 collected from the air by the Becteria. 



Method of Using'. — The Bacteria are furnished dried on absorbent cotton 

 and can be readily forwarded by mail to any section of the country. Full 

 directions accompany each package, which no farmer can have any diffi- 

 culty in following.
