We quote present prices on Clovers as near as it is 

 to quote prevailing prices on all of them from time to time, 

 are subject to market fluctuations. 



Alfalfa, or Lucerne (Medicago sativa). Requires deep, 

 rich, well-drained soil. The tap-root descends often to a 

 depth of 10 to 15 feet in loose soil. It is, consequently, 

 capable of resisting great droughts. It should be sown alone 

 (about same time as oats are sown in this section) in thor- 

 oughly prepared, deeply plowed soil, at the rate of 20 to 25 

 pounds to the acre. It may also be sown as late as August 

 and up to the middle of September in more southerly 

 localities. The crop should be cut when the plant is coming 

 into bloom. In suitable soil it is perennial, and several 

 crops may be cut every year. Height, 1 to 3 feet. Price on 

 application. 



Alsike, or Hybrid (Trifolium hybridum). A perennial, 

 1 to 3 feet high, succeeding best in cold, stiff soils, and in 

 marshy lands which are too wet for other species. It grows 

 well, too, in high altitudes. A good honey plant for bees. 

 & pounds to the acre. Price on application. 



Bokhara Clover (Melilotus laba). Valuable sort for 

 soiling and for ensilage and bees. Grows from 3 to 5 feet 

 high; sown in rich soil may be cut three times; lasts for 

 years if cut before flowering. 10 pounds to the acre. Price 

 on application.

e to offer them at as we go to press. We shall be very glad 

 and we solicit inquiries. It is understood, of course, that all 



annual, 1 to 2 feet high, with bright scarlet flowers. A 

 native of southern Europe; largely grown in our Southern 

 States for improving the soil by turning under. It is a 

 valuable crop for pasturage or green manure. For hay cut 

 when in full bloom. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. Price on 

 application. 



Mammoth, or Sapling (Trifolium pratense perenne.) 

 Grows nearly twice the size of the Common Red Clover, 

 often making a stand when the other Clovers fail. Sow 

 about 8 to 12 pounds per acre. Price on application. 



Medium Red, or June (Trifolium pratense). This 

 is by far the most important of all the varieties for practical 

 purposes. Sow in Spring or Fall and if no other Grasses 

 are used, at the rate of 8 to 12 pounds per acre; more is 

 required on old, stiff soils than on new and lighter ones. 

 Price on application. 



White Clover (Trifolium repens). Some White Clover 

 is usually included in Lawn Grass Mixtures. It makes an 

 excellent turf that stands constant trampling. It is of 

 dwarf habit, spreads rapidly and is very hardy. It is valuable 

 in permanent pastures, being sweet and nutritious. Sow in 

 Spring. In mixtures, 1 or 2 pounds; if alone, 8 or 10 pounds 

 to the acre. Lb., 45c; 10 lbs., $4.00. 



Grass Seeds 



Prices on Grass Seeds subject to change 



Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis). Fancy Clean. 

 Sometimes called June Grass, but the true June or Wire 

 Grass is much inferior. Kentucky Blue Grass is the most 

 nutritious, hardy and valuable of all northern grasses. If 

 sown by itself for meadow or pasturage use about 28 

 pounds per acre. Lb., 15c. postpaid; $1.40 per bush. 



Red Top (Agrostis vulgaris). In Pennsylvania and 

 states farther south this is known as Herd's Grass, a name 

 applied in New England and New York to Timothy. It 

 is a good, permanent grass, standing our climate well, and 

 makes good pasture when grazed close. Is valuable for low, 

 wet meadows, producing a large return in good hay. When 

 sown alone, use about 28 pounds of the chaff seed per acre. 

 Sow in spring or fall. 



Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata). Desirable on ac- 

 count of its quick growth and valuable aftermath. It is 

 ready for grazing in spring two weeks sooner than most 

 grasses and when fed off is again ready for grazing in a week 

 and will continue green when other grasses are withered 

 by dry weather. It is palatable and nutritious and stock eat 

 it greedily when green. A tendency to grow in tufts unfit 

 it for lawns. It does better if sown with clover and as it 

 ripens at the same time, the mixed hay is of the best quality. 

 If sown alone, about 28 pounds are required per acre; if 

 sown with clover, half that quantity. Perennial and will 

 last for years. Lb., 20c; $1.75 per bush. 



Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus inermis). A perennial, 

 valuable for binding the soil of embankments and for 

 resisting both drought and cold. On light, dry soils it is 

 used for hay and pasturage, but is not recommended where 

 better grasses will succeed. Sow 40 pounds per acre. Lb., 

 30c postpaid; for larger lots inquire for prices. 



Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass (Festuca 

 pratensis). A perennial, from two to four feet high, with 

 flat broad leaves. One of the standard European grasses. 

 It needs rich ground and succeeds well on prairie soil. An 

 excellent pasture grass to take the place of the wild grasses, 

 as it yields a large amount of early and late feed. Sow about 

 25 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c postpaid; for larger lots 

 inquire for prices. 



Rhode Island Bent Grass (Agrostis canina). A valu- 

 able perennial for lawns and pasturage. Much like Red 

 Top, though smaller. Thrives on light, dry soills as well as 

 on rich, moist ones. For lawn purposes, if used alone it, 



should be sown at the rate of about 40 pounds per acre; for 

 pasture, if used alone, 24 pounds per acre. Lb., 40c post- 

 paid; for larger lots inquire for prices. 



Hard Fescue (Festuca duriuscula). Similar to Sheep's 

 Fescue, but not so dense and taller; this often will cover 

 sandy soil under the shade of large trees where no other 

 grass will grow; is a desirable addition to lawn grass. Sow 

 30 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c postpaid; for larger lots 

 inquire for prices. 



Timothy (Phelum pratense). The most valuable of all 

 the grasses for hay, especially in the north. Thrives best 

 on moist, loamy soils of medium tenacity. It should be cut 

 just when the blossom falls. Sow early in the spring or fall, 

 at the rate of 12 pounds per acre, if alone, but less if mixed 

 with other grasses. Lb., 14c postpaid; for larger lots 

 inquire for prices. 



Wood Meadow Grass (Poanemoralis). Grows from one 

 and one-half to two feet high; has a perennial creeping root 

 and an erect, slender, smooth stem. Well adapted to 

 shaded situations, such as orchards and parks, for either 

 hay or pasturage. Sow about 30 pounds per acre. Lb., 

 55c postpaid; for larger lots inquire for prices. 



Perennial Rye Grass (Loliem perenne). A very valu- 

 able variety for permanent pasture. Succeeds well on 

 almost any soil, but is particularly adapted to moderately 

 moist or irrigated lands. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per acre 

 in spring. Lb., 15c postpaid; for larger lots inquire for 

 prices. 



Sheep's Fescue (Festuca ovina). A small tufted, hardy 

 grass forming a cluster of narrow, clyindrical leaves. It is 

 of value in mixture for lawns on dry soils and in shady 

 locations. Sow about 35 pounds per acre. Lb., 35c post- 

 paid; for larger lots inquire for prices. 



Tall Fescue (Festuca elatior). A valuable perennial 

 grass, very productive and nutritious. Succeeds best on 

 moist, heavy soil, but will do well on any good soil, wet or 

 dry. If used alone sow 40 pounds per acre. Lb., 40c post- 

 paid; for larger lots inquire for prices.
