WHITE DUTCH CLOTEB. — Largely used 

 in lawn and pasturage mixtures, and is in- 

 digenous to the soils throughout the South. 

 It makes a small close, compact growth, 

 covering the ground like a carpet. Does 

 well all through the South. Sow either in 

 the Spring or Fall. When sown by itself, 

 sow S pounds per acre; it is better, how- 

 ever, sown in mixture with other grasses. 

 lib., 80c, postpaid; 10 lbs.. S7.50, not pre- 

 paid; write for quantity prices. 



CRIMSON CLOVER. — The time for seed- 

 ing is during September and October, and 

 February and March. It should be sown at 

 the rate of 12 to 18 pounds to the acre. 

 The sowing of crimson clover at the last 

 working of corn or other cultivated crops 

 gives an ideal preparation. In fact, it is 

 surer to get a stand in this way than if 

 the land is freshly plowed and specially 

 prepared, as freshly plowed land is usually 

 too porous, causing the seed to be covered 

 too deeply and not giving the little plant 

 sufficient root-hold after it does start, 

 and a firm seed bed is of prime importance 

 to secure a good stand. When Crimson 

 Clover is sown by itself, the best prepara- 

 tion is to prepare the land some time pre- 

 vious to the seeding, and then wait for a 

 lain fall on the prepared soil before sow- 

 ing the seed. As soon after a rain as the 

 land is dry enough, a light harrow should 

 be run over the soil, in order to break the 

 crust: then sow the clover seed, covering 

 afterwards with a light or brush harrow. 

 If this plan is followed out it will almost 

 invariably secure a good stand and good 

 crop. 14 lb., 20c; lb., 35c, postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $3.00; bu., $16.00. not prepaid. 



ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER, 

 of the hardest of all clovers, resisting ex- 

 tremes of heat and drought and also 

 severely cold weather to a remarkable ex- 

 tent. It succeeds on a variety of soils, 

 light upland loamy lands, as well as stiff 

 bottom lands. The good qualities of Alsike 

 are being rapidly appreciated everywhere. 

 In this section the use of Alsike is grow- 

 ing rapidly. Planted during October to 

 April. 14 lb., 15c; lb., 45c, postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $4.00; bu., S18.50, not prepaid. 



BOKHARA MELILOTUS OR SWEET 

 CLOVER. — (White Bloom.) — A hardy per- 

 ennial Clover, growing wild in manv sec- 

 tions, particularly the prairie States. W r ill 

 thrive and prosper wherever Blue Grass, 

 Red Clover and Alfalfa grow. May be 

 sown in most any month: late Falf and 

 early Spring is considered best. Sow 20 

 lbs. to the acre. A frequent practice is 

 to sow it with Winter grain. Flowers 

 furnish abundant forage for bees. Weight 

 of seeds 25 lbs. to the bushel unhulled. 

 40 cents per lb., postpaid; 10 lbs., S3.00, 

 not prepaid. 



SOUTHERN BURR CLOVER.— For the 



Southern States this is a most valuable 

 soil-improving and winter— grazing crop, 

 growing luxuriantly all through the win- 

 ter and until summer. After once being 

 seeded, it reseeds itself and improves in 

 growth and appearance each succeeding 

 year. It is admirably adapted for use 

 with Bermuda grass, and the combination 

 of the two makes a sDlendid all-the-year 

 pasturage. It is also well adapted for use 

 in regular pasturages, and will give a con- 

 siderable increase in the Quantity of pas- 

 turage just at a time when it is most ap- 

 preciated. The nlant matures its seed 

 early in the Spring, and produces seed 

 abundantly after the first year, and no re- 

 seeding is necessary, unless the clover has 

 been pastured so closely as to prevent it 

 from maturing into seed. The scarifying 

 is also beneficial to the Bermuda Grass. 



Burr Clover produces its seeds in slender, 

 prickly pods, which comes spirally wound 

 ' up into a ball or boll. We offer the South- 

 ern-raised seed in the burrs and the Cal- 

 ifornia seed in the burrs and hulled. Some 

 of our farmers claim that the Southern 

 1 Burr Clover grows larger than the Cali- 

 fornia. Plant September to November, in 

 the burr, 5 bushels per acre: hulled, 20 

 nds per acre. 

 Southern grown in the Burr, price, 1

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE CLOVER.— 



1 The most talked of and most widely plant- 

 ■ ed of all the varieties of clover in the 

 world. 



Alfalfa in the South will produce 5 to 7 

 tons of hay to the acre each vear and in 

 money value is worth 45 per cent more 

 ; than other clovers and 6^ 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- 

 1 ing roots penetrate far down. 15 to 20 feet, 

 and so loosen the subsoil that it is a gigan- 

 tic 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 shelled corn 

 : Plant from September to November at the 

 rate of 30 lbs. per acre.
