Clovers — Continued 



1113. Japan Clover. We do not recommend this Clover for land that 

 can be successfully grown in any grasses or clover, but on waste land or poor, 

 worn-out soils it will furnish excellent nutritious pasturage. Sow at the rate 

 of 10 lbs. per acre, in March or April. Lb. 35c. 10 Lbs. or over at 30c. Write 

 us for latest market prices, 



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. For hay, it is particularly 

 well adapted for sowing with Orchard and Tall Meadow Grass, as it ripens 

 at the same time, and sowing these three grasses together will give larger 

 yields and better quality hay than sowing either alone. It is also largely sown 

 with other grasses, both for hay and pasturage. Information as to quantities 

 required per acre when sown in combination with other grasses will be found 

 under the heading of Orchard Grass, Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Timothy. 

 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. Owing to the extreme high market, at 

 the time this catalogue was printed, we could not make prices, please write 

 for latest quotation. 



1131. Mammoth or Sapling Clover. Is similar to Red Clover in appear- 

 ance of seeds and habits of growth, the difference being larger growth and 

 later maturing. It is often used for hog pastures. As a soil improver to plow 

 under it is considered superior on account of its extra growth. 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. Please write for latest prices. 



Bolgiano's Monumental Brand Red Clover 



1133 White Clover. This is largely used in lawn and 

 permanent pasture mixtures, and is indigenous to the soils 

 throughout the Middle and Southern States. It makes a small, 

 close, compact growth, covering the ground like a carpet. It 

 affords excellent food for bees. Sow in either Spring or Fall. 

 When sown by itself, at the rate of 5 to 6 lbs. per acre. It is 

 better, however, sown in mixture with other grasses. Price,

1304 Hubam White Blossom Sweet Clover 



An annual variety of White Sweet Clover which has just 

 recently come into prominence. Price 35c Lb. 



1205. White Blossom Sweet Clover or Bokhora. 



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

 for green manuring, especially South; also largely grown for 

 the excellent food it affords throughout its season for bees. 

 Sweet Clover will provide more feed per acre than any other 

 form of grass. One farmer declares that five acres of Sweet 

 Clover carried more stock than forty acres of Timothy and 

 Clover would. Sweet Clover stands drouth well and does not 

 cause stock to bloat. " Gold " Brand 25c. Lb. Bu. 60 lbs. $13.20. 



1228. Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. (Melilotus In- 

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

 with bacteria previous to growing Alfalfa, also good for hay 

 and pasture as well as a splendid producer of honey. Lb. 27c. 

 Bu. of 60 lbs. $13.80. Prices fluctuate. 



Monumental Brand Timothy 



Grasses 



Timothy 



1117. Timothy. Of Hay Grasses Timothy is one of the most popular, 

 nutritious and salable. On clay or heavy loams, lowlands or in mountainous 

 districts, provided there is an abundance of moisture, it produces the very 

 best results. On sandy or light loamy ground it does not do so well as Orchard, 

 Tall Meadow Oat or Red Top Grass, 



Clovers grow well with Timothy and aid it by supplying nitrogen. Timothy 

 alone a peck (11 lbs.) to the acre or with clover 10 lbs. Timothy and 6 lbs. 

 Clover. A splendid mixture is 8 lbs. Timothy, 6 lbs. Clover (either Mammoth 

 Clover, or Alsike Clover preferred, as they mature at the same time as 

 Timothy), 6 lbs. Fancy Red Top, % bu. Meadow Fescue. Together these 

 will produce most excellent hay, also nutritious and abundant pasture in 

 good loamy clay or low ground soils; 8 lbs. Timothy and 6 lbs. clover when 

 sown together. Prices: "Monumental" Brand, 20c Lb. Pk. $1.25. Bu. of 

 45 lbs. $4.50. Market fluctuates. 



Timothy and Alsike Clover Mixed 



Where Alsike Clover and Timothy are grown together, and the seed is 

 saved therefrom, it is impossible, in cleaning, to make a complete separation 

 of the two. 



On this account we purchase the seed for less money and we can sell it 

 for less than would be the case if a perfect separation could be made. 



Those desiring to sow Alsike and Timothy together can save considerable 

 money by buying the seed of these two varieties together as originally 

 harvested. 



For hay, the Alsike and Timothy Mixture is very valuable on soils too 

 moist for Red Clover. Alsike is suitable for either hay or pasture. It is finer 

 and more leafy than Medium Red Clover and cattle prefer it. " Monu-
