1128. Alfalfa or Lucerne. — As 



nutritious for dairy cows as the 

 best mill feeds. The great agri- 

 cultural clover of the West; now 

 rapidly coming into favor in the 

 East. Well adapted to dry sec- 

 tions, but thriving anywhere on 

 well-drained soil. It is a peren- 

 nial plant, lasting many years 

 under good treatment, and may be 

 cut several times each season when 

 well established. Perfectly hardy. 

 Root system remarkable for devel- 

 opment. Alfalfa roots not infre- 

 quently descend ten or more feet 

 into the soil, indicating ability to 

 resist drought. Recent experi- 

 ments at the New Jersey station 

 showthat Alfalfa has an extremely 

 high value as a forage crop in the 

 East. It is not to be recommended 

 for wet or heavy soils, but should 

 be tried "by all dairymen whose 

 land has good underdrainage. Use 

 30 to 35 lbs. of seed per acre. Sow 

 in April and May, on well limed 

 land. An Alfalfa field is worthy of 

 all care and expense required to 

 produce. Bulletin No. 148 of N. J. 

 Station, issued in February, 1901, 

 says: "The average yield of green 

 forage per acre for three years 

 (including the first year) was 18.27 

 tons, equivalent to 4.57 tons of hay. 

 The yield the third year from five 

 cuttings was 26.6 tons of green 

 forage, equivalent to 6.65 tons of 

 hay." PKts.5c. and 10c. Lb. 15c.

"Your Clover Seed gave general satisfaction and I hope to 

 beable to use more of it another year." Benjamin Bros. & Co.,

1130. Bolg'iano's Recleaned Red Clover Seed.— We call special attention to the superior quality of 

 Bolgiano's Recleaned Red Clover Seed, which will be found superior to the samples generally handled 

 by the trade. SPECIAL PRICES ON APPLICATION. There is not sufficient care exercised by the 

 planter or farmer in the selection of this, the most valuable of all Grass Seeds. Many sow it without 

 even examining whether or not it contains more seeds of weeds than Clover, and such may frequently 

 wonder where all the daisies, docks, thistle and other weeds that infest their farms spring from. Weeds 

 will always make their appearance fast enough without sowing them and to guard against this, 

 sow no Clover Seed unless you examine it either with a sharp eye or a magnifying glass. Lb. 15c. 

 Bus. $8.40. MarKet Prices in Quantity. 



1131. Mammoth Red Clover. — Tall growing species that is used by farmers for hog pasture. It 

 makes a marvelous growth in rich loamy soils and a splendid showing on thin land. Ripens with 

 Timothy and should be sown with it, using about 10 or 12 pounds per acre and 20 pounds of Timothy. 

 Popular for plowing under as a fertilizer. Lb. 15c. Bus. $8.40. MarKet Prices in Quantity. 



1132. AlsiKe, or Hybrid Clover. Finest Recleaned. — Even Clover-sick lands will produce a good 

 crop of this; perennial and very hardy, thrives equally well on wet or dry soil. Its strong fibrous 

 roots take a firm hold in the ground and thus do not wash out. It is very valuable, both for pasturage 

 and soiling; very productive, sweet and fragrant. The flowers are distinct light pink, and much liked 

 by bees. Sow in Spring or Fall, 6 pounds per acre. Lb. 15c. Bus. $7.40. MarKet Prices in Quantity. 



1133. White Dutch Clover. Fancy Recleaned. — The best variety for lawns, and permanent pas- 

 tures, as it forms a close herbage, and remains green throughout the season; it also affords excellent 

 food for bees. 1/4 Lb. 10c. Lb. 25c. 5 Lbs. $1.00. 10 Lbs. $1.80.

 Gentlemen: — The New Era Cow Peas I purchased from you last year were sown on very thin ground 

 and they produced a fine crop of vines,

1135. Spring Rye. — Distinct from the winter Rye, grain of finer quality and more productive; can be 

 successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being largely sown in place of oats, being a much more 

 profitable crop, on account of the production of nearly four times the straw, and also as a "catch" crop 

 where winter grain has failed. The straw is equally as valuable as that of the fall or winter rye, stand- 

 ing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like winter 

 rye, not less than 2 bushels to the acre should be sown. PKt. 10c . Lb. 15c. PK. 35c. Bus. $1.00.
