Alsike Clover. 



CLOVER SEEDS. 



{Prices subject to market changes.) 



Alsike, or Swedish (Trifolium Hybridum). Hardiest 

 of all the clovers and on rich moist soils yields an enormous 

 quantity of hay or pasturage. Valuable for sowing with other 

 clovers or grasses as it forms a thick bottom and increases the 

 yield of hay. Sow six pounds per acre when used alone. 

 Lb. 25 cts., 100 lbs. §2200. 



Alfalfa, or Lucerne (Medicago Saliva). One of the 

 best varieties, succeeding in almost every situation, and bearing 

 heavy crops of forage; will bear cutting three or four times 

 during the season. For bringing up poor land it is the best 

 of the clovers, as it not only produces large masses of foliage 

 but forces its roots down fully three feet into the earth. Sow 

 early in spring to secure a good stand before winter if to be 

 used for pasturage or for curing. Lb. 20 cts., 100 lbs. 

 $15.00. 



Red Clover, Medium ( Trifolium Pratense). The lead- 

 ing variety of clover for pastures or meadows. The seed we 

 offer is recleaned and free from weeds. Lb. 15 cts., 100 lbs. 

 $13.00 (subject to market changes). 



Mammoth Red Clover (Cow Grass or Pea Vine Clover). 

 For plowing under as green manure. Lb. 16 cts., 100 lbs. 

 $14.00. 



White Dutch Clover. 



White Dutch Clover {Trifolium Repcns). The best 

 variety for lawns, as it forms a close herbage and remains 

 green throughout the season; it also affords excellent food for 

 bees. We offer highest grades of seed only. Lb. 30 cts., 

 100 lbs. $25.00. 



Scarlet, or Crimson Clover {Trifolium Incarnatum). 

 An annual variety, largely used in the South for feeding 

 green and for hay. The yield in fodder is immense, and 

 after cutting it at once commences growing again and con- 

 tinues until cut by frost. Sow in April or May; 10 pounds 

 to the acre. Lb. 15 cts., 100 lbs. $1000. 



Yellow Trefoil {Medicago liipulina). This may be culti- 

 vated either alone or with other grasses. Requires about 

 same treatment as Red Clover ; 15 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 25 

 cts., 100 lbs. $16.00. 



Sainfoin, Esparsette, or Holy Clover {Bedysarum 

 Onobrychis). A valuable clover for the Middle and Southern 

 States. In some sections it is considered indispensable, as it 

 increases the flow of milk. The seeds are more nutritious 

 than oats, and are readily eaten by fowls. Requires a cal- 

 careous soil. ]00 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 15 cts., 100 lbs. 

 $8.00. 



Bokhara Clover (Melilotus Alba). A rapid growing 

 white-flowered sort, excellent for bee food, for which purpose 

 it should be largely grown. Lb. 40 cts., 100 lbs. $35.00. 



Japan Clover {Lespedeza Striata). A low-branching clover 

 that does well in the South. It thrives on poor land and 

 produces continual herbage. Not adapted to Northern lati- 

 tudes, as it is only half-hardy. Lb. 35 cts.. 100 lbs. $3000.
