CLOVER— HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Natural Soil Improvers — Unexcelled for Stock Feeding 



ALSIKE or Hybrid (Trifolium Hybridum) 



Alsike is a perennial and one of the hardiest of all Clovers, 

 thriving in the coldest climates and stands freezing well, but 

 also adapts itself to most climates where Clovers grow, and will 

 grow in moister soil than Red Clover, in fact, has produced 

 splendid crops under irrigation. The plants attain a height of 

 one to two feet; stems and leaves, though smaller than those 

 of Red Clover, are much more numerous, making hay of fine 

 texture. 



Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.50; 25 lbs., $12.00; 100 lbs., $35.00. 



KOREAN <Lespedeza) 



This strain, an improvement on the ordinary Japan, ripens 

 earlier, makes a larger growth and a heavier cropper. 

 Sow 15 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $6.50; 100 lbs., $22.50. 



CRIMSON or Scarlet (Trifolium Incarnatum) 



Plowing under a crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of stable 

 manure per acre and even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, the benefits 

 derived from the nitrogenous root formation will many times repay the cost of 

 seed and labor. 



Sow at the rate of 15 lbs. of seed per acre, either broadcast or drilled. 



Price, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $7.00; 100 lbs., $24.00. 



LADINO CLOVER 



This type of Clover is used in pasture mixtures with success and is hardier 

 than Alfalfa. Can be used as a green feed for poultry. 



Sow 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., $1.75; 10 lbs., $15.00. 

 MEDIUM RED {Trifolium Pratense) 



Domestic Grown 



Red Clover grows 1 to 2 feet in height and usually makes two crops a year, 

 yielding two to three tons of cured hay per acre. It is very valuable, adding 

 humus and nitrogen to the soil. In Northern States seed is usually sown in 

 the spring; the earlier the better. If grown alone, use 12 to 14 lbs. of seed per 

 acre broadcasted, and cover not over half an inch deep. 



Price (domestic grown), lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.50; 25 lbs., $12.00; 100 lbs., $40.00. 

 MAMMOTH RED {Trifolium Pratense perenne) 

 Pea Vine Domestic Grown 



Quite distinct from the common Red Clover. Of very robust growth, yield- 

 ing enormous bulk, valuable for reclaiming exhausted lands. 



Sow (if alone) about 12 lbs. per acre. 



Price (domestic grown), lb., 65c; 10 lbs., $5.75, 25 lbs., $12.50; 100 lbs., $45.00. 

 WHITE (Trifolium repens) 



Dutch or Honeysuckle 



A valuable addition to permanent pastures, as it furnishes plant food to the 

 other Grasses. In mixture for lawns. White Clover is used to prevent washing 

 out of soil during heavy rains. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., $1.25; 10 lbs., $11.50; 25 lbs., $25.00. 

 WHITE BOKHARA (Melilotus alba) 



Sweet Clover 



Grown as a forage plant, and often for bees; the numerous small, white 

 flowers possess a sweet, honej'-like fragrance. It is of great value for plowing 

 under for green manuring. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., $18.00. 



WILD WHITE CLOVER (KENT) 



A dwarf-growing clover which should be added to pasture, helps the grasses 

 by adding nitrogen to the soil, thrives on all soils and is relished by cattle. 

 Price, 1 oz., 35c; M lb., $1.00; y 2 lb., $1.75; 1 lb., $3.25; 



YELLOW TREFOIL (Medicago Lupulina) 



Bird's Foot Clover 



This variety of Clover is recommended by some states in mixtures for pasture 

 mixture. A dwarf growing hardy plant; it is a nourishing and beneficial food 

 for all cattle. Sow 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $8.50; 100 lbs., $30.00. 



MIXED PERMANENT CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the yield of 

 hay and pasture, collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, 

 assist the growth of the Grasses and are of benefit to subsequent crops. Per- 

 manent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, should be sown separately 

 but at the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed Clover comprises White, 

 Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.00; 25 lbs., $11.25; 100 lbs., $40.00.

HENDERSON'S HlGH GRADE RECLEANED ALFALFA 



GRIMM— The Hardiest Alfalfa Known 



DOMESTIC GROWN 



This strain of Alfalfa seed not only endures extremely low tempera- 

 ture, but it can be cut with greater safety in the fall, and will bear more 

 abuse in the way of pasturage than any other forage plant. Grimm 

 Alfalfa has larger crowns, and a more spreading root system than the 

 ordinary Alfalfa. It is also claimed that it will yield from ten to fifteen 

 per cent more than any other variety, and will start and thrive in 

 undrained wet locations, where the ordinary sort was tried unsuccess- 

 fully. One of the characteristics of the Grimm Alfalfa is that some 

 of the plants produce peculiar greenish-yellow flowers. The seed is 

 high-priced and it is rather hard to get the genuine article. Sow 

 30 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 80c; 10 lbs., $7.50; 25 lbs., $17.50; 100 lbs., $60.00.

"LEGUME AID" PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS 



Inoculation or nitrogen fixation is crop insurance for larger yields 

 of Alfalfa. Legume Aid contains billions of bacteria living in a base 

 which has sufficient moisture to insure good seed environment for the 

 preservation of the organisms. Offered in dated containers, insuring 

 fresh stock. 



Price, }^-bu. size, 30c; 1-bu. size, 50c; 2J^-bu. size, $1.00, postpaid. 



NORTHERN GROWN 



(Medicago sativa) 



DOMESTIC GROWN 



A Clover-like leguminous plant of great importance as a hay and 

 forage crop, nutritious and rich in protein elements. It grows 2 to 4 

 feet high and sends roots, 5, 10, 20, and sometimes 30 feet into the 

 subsoil. It needs one season to become established, after which it 

 yields enormous crops annually for many years. Three cuttings per 

 season, aggregating 4 tons cured hay per acre, are harvested, accord- 

 ing to conditions and locality. It does well on all good, rich soils 

 (except heavy clay), if well drained, or overlying a permeable subsoil; 

 on calcareous soil it thrives especially well. Alfalfa is one of the best 

 cover crops for orchards. Our strain of seed is grown in far Northern 

 regions, where plants have to endure extreme cold and still thrive in 

 those high altitudes. Our experience — and that of our customers — has 

 shown that such seed is undoubtedly the best for the North and Eastern 

 States. Sow in the Northern States during June, July or August, 

 30 to 40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, 25 or to 30 lbs. if drilled. 

 In the South sow in February or September. 



Price, lb., 65c; 10 lbs., $6.00; 25 lbs., $13.00;

100 lbs., $50.00.
