THE CLOVERS 



Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Sow 20 to 25 pounds to the acre in thor- 

 oughly prepared soil either in spring or fall. 



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

 Clovers, resisting extremes of both heat and cold as well as drought. 

 Sow 8 pounds to the acre. 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover {Trijolium incarnatum) . Improves poor 

 land and furnishes an abundance of forage at seasons when pas- 

 tures are resting. May be planted in spring, summer or fall. Sow 

 15 pounds to the acre. 



Mammoth or Sapling (Trijolium pratense perenne). A stronger 

 grower than Red Clover and matures later. Recommended for 

 thin soils. Sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 



Medium Red or June Clover (Trijolium pratense). Makes two 

 crops of hay each year and may be sown in either spring or fall. 

 Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 



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

 grass mixtures, it is also valuable in permanent pastures. Sow in 

 spring, using 1 to 2 pounds in mixture to the acre and 8 to 12 

 pounds when alone. 



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. Sow 

 15 to 25 pounds to the acre. 



Korean Lespedeza 



The most popular of the Lespedeza family, growing about 1 J/£ feet 

 tall and producing 2 to 3 tons of splendid hay equal to Alfalfa in 

 feed value per acre. Grows readily in acid soil and reseeds itself, 

 lasting several years. It is drought-resistant, is ready to cut in 

 August and cures quickly. Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre from Feb- 

 ruary 1 to the last of May. 



Sericea Lespedeza 



This is a perennial which thrives on poor soil, withstands droughts 

 and furnishes two or more cuttings per season after the first year. 

 Cut when about a foot high to make tender hay. Sow 30 to 35 pounds 

 of unhulled seed per acre during February or 20 pounds of hulled 

 seed from March 1 through June. 



Inoculate all Legume Seed (Alfalfa, Clovers and Lespedeza) with Nitragin and insure a good stand. See page 70. 



THE GRASSES and FORAGE SEED 



Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) 



A creeping perennial grass that succeeds on all soils; withstands 

 drought and scorching summer sun better than any other grass.

 pletely in winter. Sow 5 pounds per 1000 square feet of lawn; 

 10 pounds per acre of pasture. 



Chewings Fescue (Festuca rubra commutata) 



A creeping Fescue popular for lawns, golf-courses and pastures 

 and thriving in shade it is used in most shady lawn mixtures. If 

 used alone sow 8 pounds per 1000 square feet of lawn or 30 pounds 

 per acre for pasture.

 cutting. Sow 5 pounds per 1000 square feet of lawn. 



Domestic Rye Grass 



An all-purpose grass, used in lawn mixtures and for hay or pasture. 

 Sow 10 pounds per 1000 square feet of lawn or 30 pounds per acre 

 for hay or pasture. 



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. For lawns use 5 pounds 

 per 1000 square feet and 40 pounds per acre for pasture. 



Meadow Fescue (Festuca ovina) 



A deep-rooted perennial grass valuable for hay or pasture. Appears

A splendid permanent pasture grass doing best on moderately 

 moist ground. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per acre in spring. 



Red Top or Herd's Grass (Agrostis palustris) 



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

 in low, wet meadows. Sow in spring or fall, using 5 pounds per 

 1000 square feet of lawn or 12 pounds per acre for pasture or hay. 



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 ^ bushel Meadow Fescue to the acre.

 poultry and livestock within six weeks after sowing. Sow 6 to 

 8 pounds broadcast per acre.

 heads begin to form. Sow from May through July at the rate of 

 30 pounds per acre. 



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. Sow 50 to 60 pounds 

 per acre. 



Sudan Grass (Holcus sudanensis) 

 Similar to Timothy in good value this provides an easily cured 

 hay forage crop. Must be cut before frost. Sow 20 to 25 pounds
