Clovers are one of the most important factors to 
C RS. success in agriculture. They exhaust the soil less 
than any other class of plants giving equal bulk; 
they derive nitrogen (the most costly element in fertilizers) from the atmosphere, and 
actually add to the fertility oftheland. Clovers are of the greatest value for plowing 
under for supplying humus and nitrogen. 
RED CLOVER. (Common or Medium Clover, June Clover.) 
Botanical, Trifolium pratense. German, Kopfklee, roth bluhender. French, Trefle rouge. 
This is by far the most important Clover for practical agriculture. It grows luxuri- 
antly in stiff loams, and is fond of lime, though it adapts itself to a variety of soils. 
In the Northern States it is generally sown in the spring, and in a short time yields 
abundantly. Sow (if alone) 12 to 14 lbs. per acre. If sown in spring after Timothy, 8 
tol10lbs.peracre. CAUTION.—Every care should be exercised in buying Red Clover, for 
there are always on the market at a cheap price large quantities, badly infested with weed 
seeds, which in size and appearance closely resemble Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out. 
Our seed is of high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and fureign mutter. (See cut.)

“ The Clover I bought from you last spring is the best they are 
have had on that farm in twenty years, so I am told by the 
family that occupied it for sixty-five years.”

WHITE BOKHARA CLOVER. (Sweet Clover.) 
Botanical, Melilotus alba...Ge!man, Wunderklee. Erench, Trefle de Bokhara. 
Biennial. Time of flowering, June to September. Height, 2 to 4 feet. 
This is a tall, shrubby plant, bearing quantities of small white flowers of delicious fra- 
grance, and is exceedingly valuable for bees, and is also of great value to plow under asa 
fertilizer. Sow 101bs. per acre. 30c. per 1lb., $16.75 per bushel, $25.00 per 100 lbs. 
WHITE CLOVER. 
Botanical, Trifolium repens. 
Perennial. Time of flowering, May to September. Height, 6 inches (creeping). 
Avery hardy creeping variety, which accommodates itseif to a great variety 
of soils, but grows most luxuriantly in moist ground or in wet seasons. It 
is valuable in mixtures for permanent pastures and lawns, and also prevents 
the soils from being washed by heavy rains. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre; 
weight, per bushel, 60 lbs. 
JAPAN CLOVER. 
(Lespedeza Striata.) 
Is not a true Clover, but 
in appearance and habit of 
growth is much like White 
Clover. It is especially valu- 
able in the Southern States, 
where it will flourish on poor and exhausted soils, too poor to produce profitable crops of 
It is an annual, but once sown it reseeds itself from year to 
year, and inthat way will last indefinitely, and is pronounced by competent authoritiesas 
Sow 14 lbs. peracre; 
ALSIKE CLOVER. 
ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER. 
(Swedish Clover.) 
Botanical, Trifolium hybridum. German, Bas- 
-tard Klee. French, “’refle hybride. 
Perennial. Time of flowering, July and August. 
This is.one of the hardiest of all the Clovers. 
It succeeds on any soil, and resists extremes of 
drought and wet. It yields enormously, and 
can be cut several times in a season; is very 
nutritious, and is good for either green food, 
pasturing or cured for hay. It is valuable for 
sowing with other grasses and clovers, asitforms 
a thick bottom, and inereases the yield of hay. 
Alsike Clover frequently produces heavy crops 
on soils on which Red Clover will not grow. We 
strongly advise farmers to add 2 or 3 lbs. per 
acre to their usual seeding of Red Clover with 
Timothy. Sow (ifalone) 8 lbs. per acre; weight, 
60 Ibs. per bushel. (See cut.) 25e. lb., $13.75 
bushel, $22.00 per 100 Ibs.
