ALFALFA CRIMSON CLOVER SEED 



The proper development of Alfalfa largely depends on the 

 soil. It can be grown on many kinds, from sand or sandy 

 loams to heavy clay. It thrives best in deep loams with 

 open, porous sub-soil, where tap roots are not hindered, as 

 the root penetrates to a considerable depth. The quality ot 

 the sub-soil is of great importance. If it is compact and im- 

 penetable, it will be a serious obstacle to successful Alfalfa 

 growing. The soil must, therefore, be kept well drained, 

 especially in early Spring. In poorly drained field Alfalfa 

 will be injured and sometimes killed in the low spots where 

 water has accumulated. Alfalfa, like other leguminous 

 plants, depends on the bacteria or nitrogen for its vigorous 

 development. Therefore, it is necessary to use bacteria inoc- 

 ulation in treating the seed before sowing. This will supply 

 the young plants with the necessary nitrogen for a quick 

 start, and will prove advantageous to your stand of Alfalfa. 



The seed bed should be thoroughly prepared. One of the 

 best ways to prepare your land for Alfalfa is to sow cow peas 

 and soja beans about May 15th, plow the forage under, har- 

 row and roll immediately after plowing to hold the bac- 

 teria under soil that are in the nodulus on the roots of the 

 ccw peas and soja beans. This forage should be plowed 

 under not later than the 15th of August. After the rolling, 

 ground stone lime should be used at the rate of 1,000 llS. 

 per acre. It will be best to apply the lime through a drill 

 and roll immediately after liming. This will give you a solid 

 seed bed for sowing your Alfalfa the last of August or 

 the first of September. Twenty pounds should be used to 

 the acre, and be very careful not to cover the seed more 

 than one-half inch.

Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa) 



Vicia Villosa succeeds and produces good crops on poor 

 sandy soils as on good land ; grows to a height of 4 to 5 

 feet. It is perfectly hardy throughout the United, States, re- 

 maining green all winter ; should be sown liberally from 

 July to November with winter rye, oats, wheat or barley, 

 which serves as a support for the plants. It is the earliest 

 crop for cutting, being hardier and nearly a month earlier 

 than Crimson Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the 

 land in time for planting spring crops. Every Dairyman 

 and Stock Breeder in the United States should have a field 

 of it, and if you try it once and see its value, you will never 

 be a season without it. It is exceedingly nutritious, eaten 

 with relish and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock.

 it is coming into bloom, before the seed forms, it will maka

 TIMOTHY 



1117. Timothy. Of Hay Grasses Timothy is one of the 

 most popular, nutritious and salable. On clay or heavy loams, 

 lowlands or in mountainous districts, provided there is an 

 abundance of moisture, it produces the very best results. 

 On sandy or light loamy ground it does not do so well as 

 Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat or Red Top Grass. If grazed or 

 cut too close, the stand of Timothy will be seriously injured. 

 Besides, it does not form as good grazing as many other 

 grasses. The yield of Hay is from 1% to 3 tons per acre. 

 Timothy requires good land to make good crops. It does not 

 root as deeply and is not considered as much of an improver 

 as other grasses, consequently should not be sown on land 

 deficient in humus or vegetable matter nor on soils of a light 

 or sandy nature. Clovers grow well with Timothy and aid 

 it by supplying nitrogen. Timothy alone a peck (11 lbs.) to 

 the acre, or with Clover 10 lbs. Timothy and 6 lbs. Clover. 

 A splendid mixture is 8 lbs. Timothy, 6 lbs. Clover (either 

 Mammoth Clover or Alsike Clover preferred, as they mature 

 at the same time as Timothy). 6 lbs. Fancy Red Top, % bu. 

 Meadow Fescue. Together these will produce most excellent 

 hay, also nutritious and abundant pasture in good loamy 

 clay on low ground soils : 8 lbs. Timothy and 6 lbs. Clover 

 when sown together. Price: "Gold" Brand, Lb. 10c. (Post- 

 paid 15c). Pk., $1.00; % Bu., $1.90; Bu., $3.60; 5 Bu. lots 

 and over at $3.50 per bu. Prices fluctuate. We will quote 

 prices at any time upon request. Bags holding 2% bu. are
