CLOVERS 
All Prices on Application 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense).—Red 
Clover not only furnishes most excellent pastur- 
age and fine hay crops, but its growth improves the 
land and adds humus to the soil wherever it is 
grown. It. is the standard hay, pasturage and soil- 
improving crop wherever general farming is’ prac- 
ticed. 
ALSIKE CLOVER.—Grows thicker and is finer 
in growth than Red Clover, making better hay 
and probably more and better grazing. It is also |f 
hardier, resisting extremes of heat and drought. | 
and also severely cold weather to a remarkable ex- | 
tent. It succeeds on a variety of soils, light up- | 
land loamy lands as well as stiff bottom lands. 
The good qualities of Alsike are being appreciated f 
everywhere. 
CRIMSON, or SCARLET CLOV ER.—Also 
known as Annual, or German Clover. This is for 
fall sowing only. When sown during June, July, 
August and September, in this latitude, it produces 
a wonderful crop and is one of the most success- 
ful soil-improvers that we have. Improves worn- 
out and poor soils, and is the cheapest and best 
fertilizer. Being a winter crop, it should be sown : 
in August and September. Sow ten to fifteer Red Clover. 
pounds per acre. Bushel, sixty pounds. 
JAPAN CLOVER (Lespedeza Striata)—This is particularly suitable for waste 
lands, woodland pastures; grows fairly well on poor soils and spreads rapidly, 
and when once established usurps wild growths, and will in many cases even sub- 
due broom sedge. It is not, however, a pest, and can be gotten rid of by plowing 
it up, and is an excellent fertilizer. Japan Clover is particularly valuable for 
pasture on such soils as described, and where the soil is good yields a fair quantity of good hay. It 
is relished by cattle, is nutritious and fattening. To obtain a stand it is only necessary to scatter the 
seed broadcast in the spring, during March or April, at the rate of about ten pounds per acre. Harrow- 
ing the land over before the seed is sown, when it can be done, is, of course, better, though this is 
not imperative to obtain a good stand.

SEED WITH 
MULFORD CULTURE 
ALFALFA, or LUCERNE.—The hardiest and most lasting of all Clovers, and when once established 
the most productive as well as the best soil-enricher of all. It can be cut for hay several times a year, 
yielding bountifully at each cutting, and the hay is of the highest feeding value. When established, Alfalfa 
yields four to eight cuttings per season, depending upon the section. It should not be grazed. It does 
best on a loamy limestone soil, the lime 
being very essential to its growth, and 
where lime is absent from the soil it 
should be added, and, as the roots pene- 
trate to a great depth, it is not advis- 
able to sow it. on very heavy clay soils. 
WHITE BOKHARA, or SWEET 
CLOVER.—Can be sown either in the 
spring: or fall. Should be sown at the 
rate of 15 pounds to the acre. It fur- 
nishes good inoculation as a crop to pre- 
cede alfalfa, and is also adapted for sow- 
ing on hillsides that are liable to wash 
or gully; but it will not succeed well on 
lands that do not contain some lime con- 
tent. It is also largely used for sowing 
for bees.
