Clovers and Grass Seeds—119 



CLOVERS AND GRASSES 
I pride myself there is no house in America that ta 
market a more superior grade of grass seed than my 
grass seed can be shown than the followi 
ng: Mr. A. 
NOTEH.— Peck, bushel and 100-pound prices 
on clovers and grasses are net figures Jan. 1, 
a 1910, and subject to market changes. 
kes such extraordinary care in harvesting, cleaning and placing on the 
establishment. No better illustration of the extra quality of Maule’s 
J. Cassatt recently seeded down on his celebrated Chesterbrook Farm 
in Chester Valley, a 35-acre field of Maule’s Kentucky Blue Grass; as I expected, it was the admiration of the many visitors 
to the farm; nor was I surprised when the manager, Mr. Penn Smith, informed me that at least a dozen of Kentucky’s most 
celebrated horse breeders visiting Chesterbrook pron 
is only one of many similar instances | could give if 
ounced the field of Blue Grass superior to anything in their State. This 
I had the space. My prices may be a littie higher than others, but you 
can depend upon the seed being worth the money, and I need only add in conclusion that for the last ten years the demand 
for Maule’s grass seed each year has always increased, so that now it has reached very large proportions,

ALFALFA CLOVER. TP 
THE CLOVERS. 
ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. The great agricultural clover of 
the West. Well adapted to dry sections, but thriving anywhere 
on well-drained soil. It is a perennial plant, lasting many years 
under good treatment, and may be cut several times each season 
when well established. Alfalfa roots not infrequently descend 10 or 
more feet into the soil, indicating ability to resist drought. Recent 
experiments at the New Jersey station show that Alfalfa has an 
extremely high value as a forage eren in the East. It should be tried by 
alldairyinen. Use 15 to 25 lbs. of seed per acre. Sow in Apriland May, 
or July and August on well limed land. An Alfalfa field is worthy of all 
care and expense required to produceit. 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 third year from five cuttings was 26.6 tons of 
green forage, equivalent to 6.65 tons of hay.” Pkt., 10c.; lb., 35c.3

It has done well in America, espe-

Situations its drought-resisting SHS [=e 
qualities are seen to advantage. Af SAS 
It is a hardy perennial, well 
adapted to cold climates and ex- 
osed situations. It is claimed for 
t that it will succeed in a wider 
range of temperature than any 
other grass, and that it will pro- 
duce satisfactory crops on land too 
poor to support timothy and the 
other agricultural grasses. It has 
had wide trial and unquestionable 
endorsement, both by the experi- 
ment stations and by individual 
farmers, and as already said will 
prove to be a boon to many farm- 
ers. Weight of seed, 14 pounds to 
the bushel. Sow 28 to 85 pounds per
