J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 



WHITE BZ.OSSOM SWEET CI.OVEB. 



Mililotus Alba or Bokhara. A relative 

 of alfalfa and will make luxuriant growth 

 on soils rich in lime and of insufficient 

 depth for successful growing, of either 

 Alfalfa or Red Clover. It is an im- 

 portant hay and pasture plant and if cut 

 while the plants are young, about at begin- 

 ning of flowering season, produces hay 

 equal to Alfalfa. Seeds may be sown at 

 the rate of 20 pounds to the acre from Sep- 

 tember to December or February to April, 

 producing one cutting the first season, but 

 furnishes three cuttings thereafter of from 

 one to two each. Hulled, weight, 60 

 pounds to bushel. 35c. per lb., postpaid; 

 10 lbs., $3.00; bu., $12.00, not prepaid. 



BEGGAR WEED or FZiORIDA CI.OVER. 

 An Annual; valuable forage plant and a 

 wonderful soil restorer, more valuable as 

 a. fertilizer than either Peas or Clover, and 

 in many sections of the South superior to 

 either for forage. Sow from April to July. 

 10 lbs. to the acre. 1 lb., 60c., postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $5.50, not prepaid. 



CRIMSON CLOVER.— For the South. 

 Farmers all through the Middle Atlantic 

 and Southern States are increasing the 

 acreage of Crimson Clover very materially, 

 as they find it one of the best and most 

 satisfactory of early forage and soil-im- 

 proving crops. Its greatest value is a soil- 

 improver, practical farmers maintaining 

 that a crop of Crimson Clover turned under 

 is equal to a good application of stable 

 manure. It costs less to seed per acre than 

 any other similar crop, and the results, in 

 putting the much-needed nitrogen and 

 humus into the soil are considered supe- 

 rior even to cow peas. Planted during Sep- 

 tember and October and February and 

 March. Twenty pounds per acre. 60 lbs. 

 to bushel, lb., 40c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $3.00; 

 bu., $18.00, not prepaid. 



'"^"CLOVER (us«o«^^^*^'"' 



JAPAN" CZiOVER (Lespedeza Striata.) 

 One of the best clovers for the South. A 

 legume and grows well in all kinds of soil. 

 It enriches the soil by turning it under 

 to make green manure. Very good for 

 stock raising, stands very dry weather as 

 it has very long roots and brings up nitro- 

 genous matter from the subsoil which is 

 good for the next crop planted. Planted 

 from December to March, one bushel of 25 

 pounds to the acre. Lb., 30c., postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $3.50; bu., $6.00, not prepaid.
