CLOVERS AND GRASSES 



NOTE.— Peck, Bushel and 100-poand prices on Clovers and Grasses are net fignres January 1, 1916, and subject to market changes. 



For many years we have specialized on clover and srass seed, contracting for our crops In the world's most favored climes and taking 

 particular care in selecting, cleaning and marketing only the purest and most fertile are obtained. AVhile some seedsmen list various grades 

 we stick to but the one, and that the highest we can secure. That this constant care has brought its own reward is shown by the fact that our 

 business on clovers and grasses has jumped by leaps and bounds year after year, and this past year notwithstanding the hiuh prices made 

 necessary by the scarcity of good seed, it was larger than ever. Crop conditions have been more favorable this year, and as a result many of 



our prices have been reduced as much as possible consistent with the positively 



high grade quality of the seed we offer.

THE CLOVERS 



LFALFA 



' 791 



The Supreme Leader of All the Clovers 



No crop ever grown has had such a conspicuous place in Increasing 

 the profit from agriculture as alfalfa. The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 

 is authority for tbe statement that alfalfa at two years adds 8100 to the 

 value of every acre on which it grows. Its long fibrous roots working 

 their way far down into the soil liberate, after the hay is cut, an im- 

 mense volume of plant foods to be drawn on for y*ars to come by 

 future crops. It can be cut 8 to 5 time a year and produces from 3 to 7 

 tons of hay per acre. As a feed for cattle, swine poultry or stock of any 

 kind, owing to its large percentage of protein, it is unsurpassed. Alfalfa 

 can be grown successfully in any State in the Union, but on lands not 

 inoculated we recommend the use of the different seed and soil inocu- 

 lation listed on the sundry page of this book. Alfalfa requires a well 

 prepared seed bed, well drained, well limed land, with plenty of humus 

 supplied by the generous use of "well rotted manure. Sow from 15 to 25 

 pounds per acre in April or May or July and August.
