Alfalfa Clover, or Lucerne. Ever3- farmer should endeavor to 

 have at least a few acres of Alfalfa Clover. With our present un- 

 derstanding of the crop, there should be no difficulty in getting a 

 good stand, but care must be taken in putting it in right and tak- 

 ing care of it afterward. Sow in the spring or in August, as pre- 

 ferred, at the rate of 25 to 40 lbs. per acre ; see that the soil is sweet 

 and well manured. If \-oursoil does not contain the proper bacteria, 

 it can be assisted hy the use of Farmogerm, see page 61. Thefielcl 

 should be cut when the plant begins to bloom, whether it is tall 

 enough for use or not, and should be cut three or four times each 

 season. When a good stand is once secured, it will generally last 

 from 8 to 10 years, giving three or four crops per annum. Alfalfa 

 Clover hay has no equal, as it is very rich in protein and makes a 

 balanced ration that will save the purchase of higher-priced foods. 

 Lb. 25 cts., bus. about $10.50, write for prices. 



Turkestan Alfalfa (True). This variety imported from Turkestan 

 has for the past few years withstood the drought of summer and 

 cold, dry winters both North and South better than ordinary 

 Alfalfa, giving two crops in the most northerlj- latitude, where the 

 other would winter-kill. Lb. 25c., bus. about $11, write for prices. 



Alsike( Tt^foliuin hybridum) . Very hardy perennial. Well adapted 

 for mixing with other grasses. Taller than red clover and good 

 for growing with timothy for mixed hay. Blossom heads valuable 

 as bee food. Lb. 20 cts., bus. about $11, write for prices. 



Crimson, or Scarlet Clover ( Trifolium incarnatum) . An an- 

 nual of strong, erect growth, i to 2 feet high; important as a sup- 



plementary fall crop for hay, forage or silage, yielding 8 to 15 tons 

 of green, or 2 to 3 tons of cured forage per acre; very nutritious 

 and rich in protein. As a winter cover or soiling crop it is of great 

 value, being a great soil-enricher, adding humus and nitrogen 

 Sow in the fall at the rate of 12 to 15 lbs of seed per acre, either 

 broadcast or drilled in. When sown in spring it is apt to flower 

 and mature before making its full growth. Lb. 12 cts., bus. about 

 S4.50, write for prices.

 grass and in permanent pasture mixture. Oz 5 cts., lb. 30 cts ,

 season for bees. Lb. 25 cts., 10 lbs. and over, 20 cts. per lb.

 renne] Lb. 25 cts., bus. about $7.50, write for price.

 mination, pure and free from weed seeds. Every care should be

 at a cheap price, large quantities badly infested with weed seeds 

 and seed adulterated with Yellow Trefoil. Price subject to change 

 without notice. Lb. 25 cts., bus. about $7, write for price.
