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. 



We advise farmers to add 2 to 3 lbs. per acre to their usual 

 seeding of Red Clover and Timothy. 



Price, lb., 75c; 10 lbs., $7.00; 25 lbs., $16.25; 100 lbs., $60.00. 



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., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.50; 25 lbs., $7.50; 100 lbs., $25.00. 



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. 



Cover lightly with a harrow. In the latitude of New York City sow from 

 July 15 to September 15, and in the South as late as October. Time of flower- 

 ing is June. 



Price, lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.50; 25 lbs., $7.50; 100 lbs., $25.00. 



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., 80c; 10 lbs., $7.50; 25 lbs., $17.50; 100 lbs., $65.00. 



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. Perennial. Time 

 of flowering, July. 



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



Price (domestic grown), lb., 80c; 10 lbs., $7.50; 25 lbs., $17.50^100 lbs., $65.00. 



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., 75c; 10 lbs.. $7.00; 25 lbs., $16.25; 100 lbs., $60.00. 



WHITE BOKHARA {Melilotus alba) 



Sweet Clover 



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

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

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



Price, lb.. 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $6.25; 100 lbs., $22.50. 



WILD WHITE CLOVER 



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 bv cattle. 

 Price, pound, $2.50; 10 lbs., $22.50. 



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 stbre 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., 80c; 10 lbs., $7.00; 25 lbs., $16.25; 100 lbs., $60.00.

MILLET 



GOLDEN (Northern Grown) 



Millet is a dry weather, summer catch crop, supplementing other early summer maturing 

 crops, and of value to succeed crops that fail. It is the best crop for planting on newly 

 broken land — useful in certain kinds of rotation, excellent for soiling. 



Golden Millet is considerably larger than Hungarian and yields a much heavier crop. 

 Sow 50 pounds per acre not later than Julv in this latitude. 



Price, lb. 25c; 10 lbs., $1.75; 50 lbs., $4.50; 100 lbs., $8.00. 



JAPANESE 



Valuable in the Northern States as a quick-growing forage and ensilage crop, attaining a 

 height in good soil of 6 to 8 feet and yielding from 10 to 18 tons of green fodder per acre. 

 For feeding green, it may be cut from day to day as needed until the seed begins to ripen. 

 During this period it is much relished by stock. For dried fodder it should be cut in the 

 blossom stage. Sow from May to July. Sown broadcast 15 lbs. per acre, or if in drills use 

 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Price, lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.75; 50 lbs.. $4.50; 100 lbs., $8.00. 



HUNGARIAN 



Hungarian Millet is one of the quickest and earliest catch crops for hay and can be suc- 

 cessfully grown when sown up to the middle of August. Fairly drought resistant. Sow 50 

 pounds per acre. 



Price, lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.75; 50 lbs., $4.50; 100 lbs., $8.00. 



PEARL 



This has been cultivated in the Southern States, under the names of African Cane, Egyptian 

 Millet, Cattail Millet and Horse Millet. It grows with tropical luxuriance in strong, loamy 

 soil. Is not so hardy as the other varieties, and succeeds best in latitudes south of New York. 

 Sown in drills, 5 to 6 lbs. per acre; if broadcast, 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $10.00; 100 lbs., $18.00.
