We quote present prices on Clovers as near as it is possible to offer them at as we go to press. We shall be very 

 glad to quote prevailing prices on all of them from time to time, and we solicit inquiries. It is understood, of course, 

 that all are subject to market fluctuations. 



ALFALFA, OR LUCERNE (Medicago sativa). Requires 

 deep, rich, well-drained soil. The tap-root descends often 

 to a depth of 10 to 15 feet in loose soil. It is, conse- 

 quently, capable of resisting great droughts. It should be 

 sown alone (about same tune as oats are sown in this sec- 

 tion) in thoroughly prepared, deeply plowed soil, at the rate 

 of 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. It may also be sown as late 

 as August and up to the middle of September in more south- 

 erly localities. The crop should be cut when the plant is 

 coming into bloom. In suitable soil it is perennial, and sev- 

 eral crops may be cut every year. Height, 1 to 3 feet. 

 Price on application. 



ALSIKE, OR HYBRID (Trifolium hybridum). A peren- 

 nial, 1 to 3 feet high, succeeding best in cold, stiff soils, and 

 in marshy lands which are too wet for other species. It 

 grows well, too, in high altitudes. A good honey plant for 

 beeS. 8 pounds to the acre. Price on application. 



BOKHARA CLOYER (Melilotus laba). Valuable sort for 

 soiling and for ensilage and bees. Grows from 3 to 5 feet 

 high; sown in rich soil may be cut three times; lasts for 

 years if cut before flowering. 10 pounds to the acre. Price 

 9n application. 



CRIMSON, OR SCARLET (Trifolium incarnatum). Erect 

 annual, 1 to 2 feet high, with bright scarlet flowers. A 

 native of Southern Europe; largely grown in our Southern 

 States for improving the soil by turning under. It is a 

 valuable crop for pasturage or green manure. For hay cut 

 when in full bloom. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. Price on 

 application. 



MAMMOTH, OR SAPLING (Trifolium pratense perenne). 

 Grows nearly twice the size of the Common Red Clover, 

 often making a stand when the other Clovers fail. Sow 

 about 8 to 12 pounds per acre. Price on application. 



MEDIUM RED, OR JUNE (Trifolium pratense). This is 

 bx far the most important of all, the varieties for practical 

 purposes. Sow m Spring or Fall and if no other Grasses 

 are used, at the rate of 8 to 12 pounds per acre; more is 

 required on old, stiff soils than on new and lighter ones. 

 Price on application. 



WHITE CLOYER (Trifolium repens). Some White 

 Clover is usually included in Lawn Grass Mixtures. It 

 makes an excellent turf that stands constant trampling. 

 It is of dwarf habit, spreads rapidly and is very hardy. It 

 is valuable in permanent pastures, being sweet and nutri- 

 tious. Sow in Spring. In mixtures, 1 or 2 pounds; if alone, 

 8 or 10 pounds to the acre. Lb., 50c. 



GRASS SEEDS 



Prices on Grass Seeds subject to change 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). Fancy 

 Clean. Sometimes called June Grass, but the true June or 

 Wire Grass is much inferior. Kentucky Blue Grass is the 

 most nutritious, hardy and valuable of all northern grasses. 

 If sown by itself for meadow or pasturage use about 28 

 pounds per acre. Lb., 15c. postpaid; $1.40 per bush. 



RED TOP (Agrostis vulgaris). In Pennsylvania and 

 states farther south this is known as Herd's Grass, a 

 name applied in New England and New York to Timothy. It 

 Is a good, permanent grass, standing our climate well, and 

 makes good pasture when grazed close. Is valuable for low, 

 wet meadows, producing a large return in good hay. When 

 sovra alone, use about 12 pounds of the fancy seed per acre. 

 Sow in spring or fall. 



ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata). Desirable on 

 account of its quick growth and valuable aftermath. It is 

 ready for grazing in spring two weeks sooner than most 

 grasses and when fed off is again ready for grazing in a 

 week and will continue green when other grasses are with- 

 ered by dry weather. It is palatable and nutritious and 

 stock eat it greedily when green. A tendency to grow In 

 tufts unfits it for lawns. It does better if sown with 

 clover and as it ripens at the same time, the mixed hay is 

 of the best quality. If sown alone, about 28 pounds are 

 required per acre; if sown vdth clover, half that quantity. 

 Perennial and will last for years. 



AWNLESS BROME GRASS (Bromus inermis). A peren- 

 nial, valuable for binding the soil of embankments and for 

 resisting both drought and cold. On light, dry soils it is 

 used for hay and pasturage, but is not recommended where 

 better grasses will succeed. Sow 40 pounds per acre. Lb., 

 30c. postpaid; for larger lots inquire for prices. 



MEADOW FESCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Fes- 

 tuca pratensis). A perennial, from two to four feet high, 

 with flat broad leaves. One of the standard European 

 grasses. It needs rich ground and succeeds well on prairie 

 soil. An excellent pasture grass to take the place of the 

 wild grasses, as it jields a large amount of early and late 

 feed. Sow about 25 pounds per acre. 



RHODE ISLAND BENT GRASS (Agrostis canma). A 

 valuable perennial for lawns and pasturage. Much like Red 

 Top, though smaller. Thrives on light, dry soils as well as 

 on rich, moist ones. For lawn purposes, if used alone, it 



should be sown at the rate of about 40 pounds per acre; 

 for pasture, if used alone, 24 pounds per acre. 



HARD FESCUE (Festuca duriuscula). Similar to Sheep's 

 Fescue, but not so dense and taller; this often will cover 

 sandy soil under the shade of large trees where no other 

 grass will grow; is a desirable addition to lawn grass. Sow 

 30 pounds per acre. Inquire for prices. 



TIMOTHY (Phelum pratense). The most valuable of all 

 the grasses for hay, especially in the north. Thrives best 

 on moist, loamy soils of medium tenacity. It should be cut 

 just when the blossom falls. Sow early in the spring or fall, 

 at the rate of 12 pounds per acre, if alone, but less if mixed 

 with other grasses. Lb., 14c. postpaid; for larger lots 

 inquire for prices. 



WOOD MEADOW GRASS (Podnemoralis). Grows from 

 one and one-half to two feet high; has a perennial creeping 

 root and an erect, slender, smooth stem. Well adapted to 

 shaded situations, such as orchards and parks, for either 

 hay or pasturage. Sow about 30 pounds per acre. Inquire 

 for prices. 



PERENNIAL RYE GRASS (LoUem perenne). A very 

 valuable variety for permanent pasture. Suceeds well on 

 ahnost any soil, but is particularly adapted to moderately 

 moist or irrigated lands. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per acre in 

 spring. Inquire for prices. 



SHEEP'S FESCUE (Festuca ovina). A small tufted, 

 hardy grass forming a cluster of narrow, cylindrical leaves. 

 It is of value in mixture for lawns on dry soils and in 

 shady locations. Sow about 35 pounds per acre. Inquire 

 for prices. 



TALL FESCUE (Festuca elatior). A valuable perennial 

 grass, very productive and nutritious. Succeeds best on 

 moist, heavy soil, but will do well on any good soil, wet or 

 dry. If used alone sow 40 pounds per acre. Inquire for 

 prices.
