Alfalfa. 
ALFALFA OR LUCERNE CLOVER.— 
The most talked of and most widely plant- 
ed of all the varieties of clover. 
Alfalfa in the South will produce 5 to 7 
tons of hay to the acre each year and in 
money value is worth 45 per cent more 
than other clovers and 60 per cent more 
than Timothy hay. It will grow 4 or 5 
crops a year and it does not exhaust the 
soil; it enriches the soil. Its long branch- 
ing roots penetrate far down, 15 to 20 feet 
and so loosen the subsoil that it is a gi- 
gantic subsoiler, resists drought, and gets 
plant food where other crops would be a 
failure. 
It is said that the feeding value of a ton 
of alfalfa is equal to a ton of shell corn. 
Plant from January to April for Spring. 
and September to November for Fall at the 
rate of 30 lbs. per acre.

ALSIKE CLOVER.—This plant ranks 
nearly as valuable as the medium _ red 
clover for ordinary soils, and in special 
conditions is much better. The plants are 
smaller and ordinarily it produces a some- 
what lighter crop than the medium red 
clover, but, as it is also much more closely 
eaten by stock, there is less waste. The 
quality of the hay is better. As the plant 
is a perennial, while the medium red clover 
is a biennial, it makes more of a perma- 
nent meadow or pasture plant. It succeeds 
| 
ERS. 
on impoverished soil or acid soil better 
than the medium red clover and on wet soil 
it is invaluable. It will not, of course, 
grow in water, but will stand more mois- 
ture than the other clovers. Sow in 
Spring or Fall, 6 pounds per acre. % Ih, 
30c.; 1b., 50c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $4.00; bu.,

Bed Clover. 
a 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER.—The one most 
universally grown throughout the country.

desired, it has only one superior, and that 
is Alfalfa. Sow in Spring and Fall, 12 
pounds to acre. ¥% Ih. 30c.; lb., 50c., post- 
paid; 10 lbs., $4.50; bu., $18.00, not prepaid. 
Beggar Weed. 
BEGGAR WEED or FLORIDA CLOVER.

wonderful soil restorer, more valuable as 
a fertilizer than either Peas or Clover, and 
in many sections of the South superior to 
either for forage. Sow from April to July.
