12s Alfalfa Seed 
Alfalfa Yields Splendidly Throughout the South, Yielding 4 to 6 
Cuttings Per Year, Increasing 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 
4 to 6 cuttings per year, and will easily yield on good land 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; better to have 
five acres well set in Alfalfa by thorough preparation than to attempt to 
put in 10 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 slender when it first starts, and must be grown under favor- 
able 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 requirements to obtain good stands 
and good crops is to sow in good, rich soil and give thorough preparation. 
A heavy application of lime is of decided benefit—2,000 to 5,000 lbs. per 
acre. Alfalfa is usually sown broadcast at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. to 
the acre, although some of our customers claim that thicker seedings give 
better crop results. March and April are the best months for seeding in the 
Spring, and the latter part of August and during September the best in the 
Fall. Our Alfalfa seed is the highest grade, strong germinating seed of the 
best and cleanest quality it is possible to procure. The quality and germina- 
tion of the seed is a prime requisite for success with this crop.. Land well 
set in Alfalfa is better than a bank account, producing continuously increas- 
ing crops for years and is worth a little trouble and expense to secure a 
first-class stand. Price: ‘‘ Gold’ Brand Fancy Seed, Bu. of 60 lbs. $12.00.

Melilotus Alba. A strong growing perennial of value for green manuring, 
especially South; also largely grown for the excellent food it affords 
throughout its season for bees. Sweet Clover will provide more feed per 
acre than any other form of grass. One farmer declares that five acres of 
Sweet Clover carried more stock than forty acres of Timothy and Clover 
would. Sweet Clover stands drought well and does not cause stock to bloat. 
Sweet Clover is especially valuable for building up worn-out soils and grows 
almost anywhere except in acid soils. Sweet Clover is a legume, having the 
same bacteria on its roots that grow on Alfalfa, consequently it supplies 
nitrogen to the soil and prepares the way for Alfalfa. Sow 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre. ‘Gold’? Brand, llc Lb. Bu. 60 Lbs. $5 40.
