Alfalfa Seed 



1128. Alfalfa Yields Splendidly Throughout the i^outh, 

 Yielding 4 to 6 Cuttings Per Year, Increasing Yield Each 

 Successive Year. Experiment stations place the feeding value 

 of Alfalfa hay at $20 per ton, as against Timothy hay at $12 

 per ton. The acreage of Alfalfa is increasing very largely all 

 over the Middle and Southern States; our farmers are fast be- 

 ginning to realize what a valuable crop it is for this section. 

 Alfalfa will succeed and do well on any good loamy, well- 

 drained soil, but the land must be well and thoroughly pre- 

 pared for the best results. A heavy application of lime is of 

 decided benefit — 2000 to 5000 lbs. per acre. Alfalfa is usually 

 sown broadcast at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. to the acre, although 

 some of our customers claim that thicker seedings give better 

 crop results. March and April are the best months for seeding 

 in the Spring, and the latter part of August and during Sep- 

 tember the best in the Fall. Our Alfalfa seed is the highest 

 grade, strong germinating seed of the best and cleanest quality 

 it is possible to procure.

 is finer in growth than Red Clover, making better hay and 

 probably more and better grazing. It is well adapted for sowing

 these grasses, but flowering a little later than Red Clover.

Cloyers — Continued 



1113. Japan Clover.^ We do not recommend this Clover 

 for land that can be successfully grown in any grasses or clover, 

 but on wast^ land or poor, worn-out soils it will furnish excel- 

 lent nutritious pasturage. Sow at the rate of 10 lbs. per acre in 

 March or April. Lb. 25c. 10 Lbs. or over at 20c. Write us for

1130. Medium Red Clover. This is regarded as the most 

 valuable of the Clover family and is largely used for pasturage 

 and hay. Clover adds greatly to the fertility of the land on 

 which it is grown. It does not exhaust the soil, but enriches it. 

 It makes two crops each year. The first is usually cut when 

 it is in blossom for hay. The last crop may be harvested for 

 seed, cut for hay or plowed under to add fertility to the soil. 

 When sown by itself, sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre, either in the 

 Spring or Fall, or at the last working of corn. Price, lb. 38c. 

 Bu. of 60 lbs. $21.00. Write for latest prices. 



1131. Mammoth or Sapling Clover, is similar to Red 

 Clover, the difference being larger growth and later maturing. 

 It is a good variety for thin soils or to seed with Timothy, 

 Meadow Fescue, Herd's Grass or Red Top, as it matures about 

 the same time as these grasses. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre 

 when sown alone. When sown with Timothy use 6 lbs. Sapling 

 Clover and 8 lbs. Timothy to the acre. Price, lb. 45c. Bu. of 

 60 lbs. $27.00. Please write for latest prices.

 (Hulled.) Melilotus Alba. A strong growing perennial of value

 form of grass. Price, lb. 20c. Bu. of 60 lbs. $10.50.

 dica.) A strong growing annual, valuable for inoculating soil
