Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular both for 
pasture and hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. 
It can be seeded at any time from June to October at the rate 
of 15 to 20 Ibs; per acre, and makes the earliest possible green 
pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for 
feeding as hay should be cut just before coming in full bloom. 
One acre grown at the New Jersey Experimental Station yielded, 
May 31, 6997 pounds of organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, E 
52 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 1864 pounds of potash. The 
nitrogen alone could not be bought for $30.00, and is fully equal 
to that foundin 20 tons of stable manure, and at sch a small 
cost. It not only builds up worn out soils. when turned under, 
but rich soils are kept up to their fertility with less cost than by 
any other means. Lb., 30 cts., postpaid. Write for special 
circular and price of seed per bushel. 
VETCH. 
Winter Vetches, or Tares (Vicia Villosa). Also called 
Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing | 
with rye, which serves as a support. It is perfectly hardy in 
all parts of the country and maturing fully four weeks earlier 
than Scarlet Clover, it ean be harvested or plowed under and 
the ground used for the usual spring crops. It is very nutri- 
tious, and all kinds of stock eat it with relish. , Sow one 
bushel per acre, together with one half bushel of Rye or 
Oats. Lb., 30 cts., postpaid. Bus., 60 Ibs. Write for 
Leaflet and price. 
ALFALEA (Medicago Sativa). 
It is an established fact that Alfalfa sown during August will | 
prove more satisfactory than when sown during the spring. | 
After once established it will produce three to four heavy cut- j 
tings in a season, making a total of from three to six tons of 
nutritious hay per acre. We handle only High-grade American | 
Grown Seed of Alfalfa, and will be pleased to send sample and | 
price on application. We have published a Special Leaflet on 
Alfalfa, which tells how and when to prepare the land, sow seed, 
cure and harvest the crop. A copy mailed free on request.
