SCARLET(tOVEf^ %, 



CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER 



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 lbs. per acre, and makes the earliest pos- 

 sible green pasture, blooming the latter part of April or 

 May, and for feeding as hay should be cut just before com- 

 ing in full bloom. One acre grown at the New Jersey Ex- 

 perimental Station yielded. May 31, 6997 pounds of organic 

 matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds of phosphoric 

 acid, and 186^ pounds of potash. The nitrogen alone could 

 not be bought for $30.00, and is fully equal to that found in 

 20 tons of stable manure, and at such 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., 35 cts., postpaid. Write for special cir- 

 cular and price of seed per bushel. 



ALFALFA (Medlcago Saliva) 



It is an established fact that Alfalfa sown during Au- 

 gust will prove more satisfactory than when sown during 

 the spring. After once established it will produce three 

 to four heavy cuttings 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. 



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 per- 

 fectly hardy in all parts of the country and maturing 

 fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover, it can be 

 harvested or plowed under and the ground used for 

 the usual spring crops. Lb., 35 cts., postpaid. Bushel, 60 

 lbs. Write for Leaflet and price.
