ALSIKE or Hybrid (Trifolium Hybridum) 



Alsike is a perennial and one of the hardiest of all Clovers, 

 thriving in the coldest climates and stands freezing well, but 

 also adapts itself to most climates where Clovers grow, and will 

 grow in mqister soil than Red Clover, in fact, has produced 

 splendid crops under irrigation. The plants attain a height of 

 one to two feet; stems and leaves, though smaller than those 

 of Red Clover, are much more numerous, making hay of fine 

 texture. . 



Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 55c; 10 lbs., $5.00; 25 lbs.. $10.00; 100 lbs., $35.00.

 earlier, makes a larger growth and a heavier cropper. Sow

CRIMSON or Scarlet (Trifolium Incarnatum) 



Plowing under a crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of stable 

 manure per acre and even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, the benefits 

 derived from the nitrogenous root formation will many times repay the cost of 

 seed and labor. 



Sow at the rate of 15 lbs. of seed per -acre, either broadcast or drilled. 



Price, lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.50; 25 lbs., $7.50; 100 lbs., $25.00.

 yielding two to three tons of cured hay per acre. It is very valuable, adding 

 humus and nitrogen to the soil. In Northern States seed is usually sown in 

 the spring; the earlier the better. If grown alone, use 12 to 14 lbs. of seed per 

 acre broadcasted, and cover not over half an inch deep.

MIXED PERMANENT CLOVERS

 hay and pasture, collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, 

 assist the growth of the Grasses and are of benefit to subsequent crops. Per- 

 manent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, should be sown separately 

 but at the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed Clover comprises White, 

 Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 lbs. per acre.

ALFALFA, Northern Grown 



Henderson's Recleaned 



Our strain of Alfalfa seed is grown in far Northern regions where 

 plants have to endure extreme cold and still thrive in those high alti- 

 tudes. Our experience — and that of our customers — -has shown that 

 such seed is undoubtedly the best for the Northern and Eastern States, 

 and that it excels all others in hardiness. Before offering this seed to 

 our customers for sale, it is thoroughly recleaned by the most modern 

 seed cleaning machinery in America. Sow in the Northern States dur- 

 ing June, July and August, 30 to 40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcast, 

 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled. In the South sow in February or September. 



Price (Domestic grown), lb., 70c; 10 lbs., $6.50; 25 lbs., $14.00;
