ALFALFA OR LUCERNE CLOVER.— 
The most talked of and the most widely 
planted of all the varieties of clover. 
Alfalfa in the South will produce 5 to 7 
tons of hay to the acre each year and in 
money value is worth 45 per cent more than 
other clovers and 60 per cent more than 
Timothy hay. It will grow 4 or 5 crops 
a year and it does not exhaust the soil; 
it enriches the soil. Its long branching 
roots penetrate far down, 15 to 20 feet 
and so loosen the subsoil that it is a gi- 
gantic subsoiler, resists drought, and gets 
plant food where other crops would be a 
failure. 
It is said that the feeding value of a ton 
of alfalfa is equal to a ton of shell corn. 
Plant from January to April for Spring, 
and September to November for Fall at the 
rate of 30 lbs. per acre. 
We handle the following brands: 
Banner Brand—1l Ihb., 50c, postpaid; 10 
lbs., $3.50; 50 lbs., $16.00; 100 lbs., $30.00, 
not prepaid.

ALSIKE CLOVER.—This plant ranks 
nearly as valuable as the medium red 
clover for ordinary soils, and in special 
conditions is much better. The plants are 
smaller and ordinarily it produces a some- 
what lighter crop than the medium red 
clover, but as it is also much more closely 
eaten by stock, there is less waste. The 
quality of the hay is better. As the plant 
is a perennial, while the medium red clover 
is a biennial, it makes more of a perma- 
nent meadow or pasture plant. It succeeds 
on impoverished soil or acid soils, nothing 
better than the medium red clover and on 
wet soil it is invaluable. It will not, of 
course, grow in water, but will stand more 
moisture than the other clovers. Sow in 
Spring or Fall, 6 pounds per acre. 1 Ib.,, 
50c., postpaid; not prepaid, 10 ibs., $3.50; 
50 lbs., $16.00; 100 lbs., $30.00.

Medium Red Clover. 
MEDIUM BRED CLOVER.—tThe most 
universally grown throughout the country. 
On fertile soil and especially where hay is 
desired, it has only one superior, and that 
is Alfalfa. Sow in Spring and Fall, 12 
pounds per acre. 1 Ib., 60c, prepaid; not 
prepaid, 10 lbs, $5.50; 50 Ibs., $19.00; 100 
lbs, $37.00. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER.—This is the 
common little running clover found in 
most good pastures. Its chemical analysis 
shows it to be richer in protein than almost 
any other legume which we grow for 
forage. It is, of course, too small to grow 
for hay, but it is invaluable in all pastures. 
Sow in Spring and Fall, 8 pounds to acre. 
1 Ib., 80c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $7.00; 50 Ibs., 
$30.00, not prepaid. Write quantity prices. 
HUBAM CLOVER.—A fast growing an- 
nual white sweet clover, reaches 4 to 10 
feet in height from three to six months 
after planting. Yields six times that of 
Red Clover. Under ordinary conditions 
Hubam will make a very satisfactory 
growth on any soil of average fertility. 
It’s a great drouth resister. It requires 2 
to 3 pounds of seeds per acre if planted in 
cultivated rows and 8 to 12 pounds if 
seeded broadeast. Plant either during the 
fall or early spring. Hubam should be 
harvested when one-half of the seed pods 
have turned brown and the first ripe seed 
is beginning to shatter on the ground. 
Prices: lb., 75c.; 5 lbs., $3.25, postpaid,
