WRITE FOR PRICES 



CLOVERS 



Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). A perennial legume thriving best on well- 

 drained, heavily limed soils. Being a heavy feeder, Alfalfa re- 

 quires an abundance of available plant-food, particularly phos- 

 phoric acid. Varieties most used in Washington area are Oklahoma 

 approved, Kansas Common, Buffalo and Williamsburg. 



Alsike or Hybrid Clover (Trijolium hybridum). The hardiest of 

 Clovers. Prefers a rather heavy silt or clay soil with plenty of 

 moisture. 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover (Trijolium incarnatum). A winter 

 annual. Improves poor soils and furnishes forage when pastures 

 are resting. Sow in spring, summer and fall. Reseeding types also 

 available. 



Ladino Clover (Trijolium repens latum). This perennial is known 

 as the Giant White Clover. A low-growing, leafy plant with 

 succulent and somewhat coarse stems. Under proper moisture 

 conditions, these stems will take root at the joints, and in this 

 manner thicken up the stand. 



Medium Red or June Clover (Trijolium pratense). Does best on 

 rich, well-drained soil containing an abundance of lime. Makes 

 two crops of hay a year and may be sown in spring or fall. 



Kenland Red Clover. A superior, longer-lived strain of Red Clover 

 adapted to areas where anthracnose diseases are prevalent. 



Mammoth or Sapling (Trijolium pratense perenne). Larger, 

 coarser and about two weeks later in maturing than Medium Red 

 Clover. Only one crop can be harvested each season. 



White Dutch Clover (Trijolium repens). Usually included in lawn 

 grass mixtures; also valuable in permanent pastures. Sow in 

 spring. 



New Zealand Certified Permanent Pasture White Clover. 

 Differs from cultivated White Dutch Clover in that it has smaller 

 leaves, stems and flower head. Also spreads by surface runners. 



White Sweet Clover (Melilotus alba). Grows 3 to 5 feet tall and is 

 valuable for soiling; ensilage and bees. Lasts for years if cut before 

 flowering and on rich soil will produce three crops a year. 



Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) . Valuable plant for hay and 

 for use in permanent pasture mixtures. Stays green and produces 

 excellent feed during hot summer months. 



Korean Lespedeza 



The most popular of the Lespedeza family, growing about 1 Yi feet 

 tall. Grows readily in acid soil and reseeds itself. Drought-resistant; 

 ready to cut in August. Sow February 1 to the last of May. 



Sericea Lespedeza 



A perennial for poor soil; withstands dr< 

 more cuttings per season after the first year. 



ithstands droughts and gives two or 

 ;he first year. Cut when a foot high. 



Inoculate all Legume Seed (Alfalfa, Clovers and Lespedeza) with Nitragin and insure a good stand. See page 52. 



HAY and PASTURE MIXTURES 



Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis) 



Although it does well on most any good soil, Blue Grass requires 

 about two years to become established and is therefore often sown 

 with other grasses. Sow in spring or fall. 



Tall Fescues 



Alta Fescue. A deep-rooted, long-lived perennial grass with many 

 shiny, dark green leaves coming from the crown of the plant. It 

 makes a very close turf if conditions are favorable. 



Kentucky 31 Fescue. Same characteristics as Alta except that it is 

 more drought resistant. 



Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata) 



An early bunch grass which stays green in spite of heat and drought. 

 Lasts for years. 



Domestic Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum) 

 An annual all-purpose grass used in lawn mixtures and for hay and 

 pasture. 



Perennial Rye Grass (Lolium perenne) 

 A splendid permanent pasture grass doing best on moderately 

 moist soils. 



Red Top or Herd's Grass (Agrostis alba) 

 Used in most lawn mixtures and a good pasture grass. Does well 

 in low, wet meadows. Sow in spring or fall. 



Timothy (Phleum pratense) 



This important hay and pasture grass should be sown at the rate 

 of 12 pounds per acre in spring or fall. One popular mixture uses 

 10 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds Clover; another has 8 pounds 

 Timothy, 6 pounds Clover (Alsike or Mammoth), 6 pounds Red 

 Top and 10 pounds Alta Fescue to the acre.

 for establishing a permanent pasture. 



For Lowlands: A mixture of grasses and clovers adapted for moist 

 or slightly sour lowlands. 



Dwarf Essex Rape 



An annual resembling kale which furnishes good pasture for 

 poultry and livestock within six weeks after sowing. 



Golden Millet 



Makes an enormous yield of hay which should be cut just as the 

 heads begin to form. Sow from May through July. 



Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa) 



Valuable as a winter cover crop to prevent leaching and to turn 

 in for fertilizer. It is also a good forage plant. 



Sudan Grass (Holcus sudanensis) 



Similar to Timothy in food value, this provides an easily cured 

 hay forage crop. Must be cut before frost. Sow in late spring. 

 Often sown with Soy Beans — 20 pounds Sudan Grass and one bushel 

 Soy Beans to the acre.

FIELD CORN 



HYBRIDS by Lester Pfister 



Reid's Yellow Dent. (100 days.) The 10-inch yellow ears have 

 small red cobs covered with 18 to 20 rows of deep grains. Grows 

 better than 8 feet tall. A consistent prize-winner at shows. 



Hickory King. (115 days.) Grows over 8 feet tall, with a splendid 

 root-growth. Ears contain 8 rows of large broad kernels; small 

 cob. A great white Corn especially recommended on poor soil. 

 Popular for roasting ears and early feed in the South. 



Boone County. (110 days.) A pure white Corn on a white cob. 

 There are generally 20 or more rows of deep kernels on the heavy 

 10 to 11-inch ears. Boone County is a heavy yielder of extra- 

 quality Corn. 



Eureka Ensilage. (115 days.) Many years of watching and selecting 

 seed has developed this best of all silo Corn until the rapid-growing 

 plants now reach a height of 15 feet with a large amount of fodder 

 and 3 or 4 long ears to the stalk. 



Pfister 164 (Hy x 187) x WF9 x 38-11). Maturity, 115 to 120 days. 

 Large cylindrical ears with deep, medium-rough kernels. Adaptable 

 to a wide variety of soils. It is definitely a one-eared hybrid. The 

 stiff stalk carries ears at uniform height, making picking easy.

 Excellent standing quality, heavy, dark foliage; resistant to 

 drought, disease and insects. The medium large, cylindrical ears 

 produce long kernels of deep indentation, making it a favorite 

 with stock feeders. Medium early and produces well on soils of 

 medium to low fertility. Will be in great demand in areas infested 

 with corn borer and chinch bugs. Suitable for mechanical pickers. 



Yellow Dent Hybrid U. S. 13. (110 days.) This Virginia-grown 

 Corn is one of the best Yellow Hybrids in the middle Atlantic 

 section. Large show-type ears, 11 inches long, with 16 rows of
