Caution.—Buyers of clovers should be very careful 
about buying seed offered below the market price, as there 
‘are Many samples adulterated to a large extent with Yellow 
Trefoil and other cheap, worthless seeds. We are exceed- 
ingly careful of our source of supply. We handle only one 
grade, and that the best.

Alfalfa, or Lucerne Clover. Every farmer should 
endeavor to have at least a few acres of alfalfa clover. With 
our present understanding of the crop, there should be no 
difficulty in getting a good stand, but care must be taken in 
putting it in right and taking care of it afterwards. Sow in 
the spring or in August, as preferred, at the rate of 25 to 40 
lbs. per acre; see that the soil is sweet and well manured. 
If your soil does not contain the proper bacteria, it can be 
obtained by the use of Nitro-Culture. The field should be 
cut when the plant begins to bloom, whether it is tall enough 
for use or not, and should be cut three or four times each 
season. When a good stand is once secured, it will generally 
last from 8 to 10 years, giving three or four crops per annum. 
Alfalfa Clover Hay has no equal, as it is very rich in protein 
and makes a balanced ration that will save the purchase of 
higher-priced foods. Price, per 1b., 20c.; 10 lbs., $1.75; bush. 
of 60 lbs., $9.75. 
Turkestan Alfalfa. (True.) This variety, imported 
from Turkestan, has for the past few years withstood the 
drought of summer and cold, dry winters both North and 
South better than ordinary alfalfa, giving two crops in the 
most northerly latitude, where the other would winter-kill. 
Price, per lb., 25¢.; 10 lbs., $2.00; bush., 60 lbs., $10.50. 
CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER 
A most valuable crop is this annual clover. Asan im- 
rover of the soil, or for an early summer forage or hay-crop, 
it is first-class. As a green manuring crop for grain, fruit or 
trucking crops, it gives the very best results, while for improv- 
ing poor land it has few equals. It succeeds on every kind of 
soil. Sow ten to fifteen pounds to the acre in June or July, 
orcan be sown in the fall either broadcast or drilled in, as 
a@ winter cover or soiling crop, being a great soil enricher, 
adding humus and nitrogen. Lb., 15c.; 10 lbs., $1.25; bush. 
of 60 lbs., about $3.00. 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER. The hardiest of 
all; well adapted for permanent pastures or for hay crop.

age where no other clover succeeds. Blossom heads much 
liked by bees. Sow six pounds per acre in spring or fall.

(Bromus Inermis). This great drought-defying, frost-resisting 
grass yields enormous crops of splendid hay, and affords rich, 
abundant pasturage. Bromus Inermis has been known in 
Europe for over one hundred and thirty years. It is grown 
extensively in Hungary and is commonly known as Hun- 
garian or Smooth Brome-grass. It grows best in light, sandy 
loam, but its roots will penetrate the stiffest clays. It is 
equally good for cutting green, pasturing or cutting into hay.

and timothy. Use 30 pounds to the acre if alone; if with 
clover, 20 pounds. It may be sown in the fall with winter

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SAYS: 
“It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any leguminous crop without being certain of the 
presence of the bacteria which enable the plants to fix free nitrogen. Certain regions are practically 
devoid of the right kind of bacteria, and unless some artificial means of inoculating the germs be re- 
sorted to, the crop will be a failure.”
