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 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. 

 It is a very rank grower, some stools containing as many as 

 120 to 140 blossoms from one seed. One acre grown at the 

 New Jersey Experimental Station yielded, May 31st, 6,997 

 pounds of organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds 

 of phosphoric acid, and 186J 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., 30 cts., postpaid. 

 Write for special circular and price of seed per bushel. 

 ALFALFA ( 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 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 perfectly 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. 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 lbs. Write for 

 Leaflet and price.
