CLOVERS AND GRASSES 
NOTE.—Peck, Bushel and 100-pound prices on Clovers and Grasses are net figures January 1, 1911, and subject to market changes. 
I pride myself there is no house in America that takes such extraordinary care in harvesting, cleaning and placing on the 
market a more superior grade of grass seed than my establishment. No better illustration of the extra quality of Maule’s 
rass seed can be shown than the following: Mr. A. J. Cassatt seeded down on his celebrated Chesterbrook Farm in 
hester 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 pronounced the field of Blue Grass superior to anything in their State. This 
is only one of many Similar instances I could give if I had the space. My prices may be a little 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 yery large proportions.

ALFALFA CLOVER. 
THE CLOVERS 
The Great Agricultural Glover 
ALFALFA 
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 sea- 
son 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 sta- 
tion show that alfalfa has an extremely high value as a forage 
crop in the East. It should be tried by all dairymen. Use 15 
to 25 pounds of seed per acre. Sow in April and May, or July 
and August on well limed land. An alfalfa field is worthy of 
all care and expense required to produce it. 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 for- 
age, equivalent to 6.65 tons of hay.’
