HENDERSON'S RECLEANED ALFALFA 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago saliva.) A Clover-like, leguminous plant of great importance as a hay and forage crop, nutritious and rich in protein 

 elements. It grows 2 to 5 feet high and sends roots 5, 10, 20, and sometimes 30 feet into the subsoil. It needs one season to become established, after which 

 it yields enormous crops annually for many years. 3 or 4 cuttings per season, aggregating 4 to 6 tons cured hay per acre, are harvested, according to conditions 

 and locality. It does well on all good rich soils (except heavy clay), if well drained, or overlying a permeable subsoil; on calcareous soil it thrives especially 

 well. Sow in the Northern States during June, July or August, 30 to 40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, or 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled. In the South sow in 

 February or September. Price, 28c. lb.; $15.75 bushel of 60 lbs.; $25.00 100 lbs.
