HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE 
It has been fully demonstrated by the careful trials conducted by 
the Agricultural Experiment Stations in various parts of the coun- 
try that good pasturage and good hay crops can be best secured 
by sowing grass seeds in mixtures. 
The following formulas are made up of native and acclimated 
foreign grasses thoroughly blended and improved upon during 
trials under widely varied conditions, soils and localities for a 
period of years until practically perfect. Our aim is to produce, 
under the extremes of the American climate, a permanent, dense 
and deep-rooting turf that will yield year after year the maximum 
quantity of foliage. These grasses are of superior quality, invit- 
ing, sweet and nourishing. 
FORMULA NO. 1. Grasses only. The best to use for pasture 
and hay. Use 45 lbs. per acre. Lb. 85c ; 10 lbs. $7.50 ; 100 lbs. $60 
All grass seeds and mixtures are delivered 
FORMULA NO. 2. Grasses and clovers for pasture and hay, to 
produce good pasturage and heavy yields of highly nutritious 
hay. Use 40 pounds of seed to the acre. 
Lb. 95c; 10 lbs. $8.50; 100 lbs. $70 
FORMULA NO. 3. Clovers only. Produces a very rich pasture. 
Planting should be at the rate of 15 pounds to the acre. 
Lb. $1.10; 10 lbs. $10; 100 lbs. $85 
FORMULA NO. 4. For hay and pasture. Consists of timothy, 
redtop and clover only. Sow 30 pounds to the acre.

Seed of maximum purity and highest germination 
Prices are F.O.B. Stores. See page 106 for Parcel Post rates. 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER. A hardy clover usually sown 
in mixtures. If used alone, sow 10 pounds to the acre.

Lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $6.50; 100 lbs. $50 
LAD I NO CLOVER. A giant white clover excellent for pastures. 
Especially satisfactory for moist soils but also recommended for 
shallow or heavy soil. Lb. $3 ; 10 lbs. $28.50 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. American seed. The hay crop is cut

KENLAND RED CLOVER. A clover grown in the South, es- 
pecially where anthracnose disease is prevalent and serious. 
Tests show that crops stand longer than other strains and are 
heavier even in the Middle Atlantic States, where it seldom freezes 
out. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. 
Lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $11.50; 100 lbs. $100

ALFALFA or LUCERNE. Northern-grown, cold-resistant 
American seed. Deep roots resist drought. Planted at the rate 
of 15 pounds to the acre in drills or 25 pounds broadcast. 
Lb. $1.35; 10 lbs. $11.50; 100 lbs. $95 
RANGER ALFALFA. (Domestic.) A valuable type of alfalfa 
in sections where bacterial wilt is a factor, as in the northern 
part of the United States. It is also cold resistant and produces 
an abundance of forage. Recommended by the Eastern Ex- 
periment Stations. Broadcast 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
Lb. $1.60; 10 lbs. $14; 100 lbs. $125 
GRIMM ALFALFA. Hardier, larger and more tolerant to un- 
favorable soils than regular alfalfa. Sow 15 pounds to the acre in 
drills or 20 pounds broadcast. 
Lb. $1.45; 10 lbs. $12.50; 100 lbs. $105 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. Lotus corniculatus. Highly productive 
dwarf perennial legume, deep rooting and drought resistant.

tures. It may be added to grass seed for slopes.

LESPEDEZA, KOREAN. For pasture, hay and lawn on poor land 
throughout warmer sections. Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4; 100 lbs. $25 
In growing legumes, inoculation of the seed with nitrogen- 
fixing bacteria is often of great value. Legume inoculant is 
sold as live bacteria in a base which contains sufficient mois- 
ture to preserve the organisms. State when ordering whether 
the inoculant is to be used for Alfalfa or Clover.
