 change without notice

...CLOVERS... 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (MedicagoSativa.) 

 A permanent clover of great value on all soils 

 which contain lime in any form, and should be 

 much more extensively grown. One of our cus- 

 tomers in l.ogan Co.. Ohio, cut four crops in one 

 season. The aggregate length of the four cut- 

 tings was over ten feet, and made six tons of j 

 cured hay per acre. Alfalfa should be cut every 

 time it comes in blossom, whether the growth 

 is short or tall, for if allowed to form seed, it 

 shortens the life of the plant. Sow in drillH, 12 

 lbs. per acre; broadcast, 18 to 20 lbs. per acre. 

 ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. ( Trifolium 

 Hybriduni.) Equal in nutritive value to the Red 

 or Pea Vine Clover, and excellent for land that 



is clover-sick 



Bokhara Clover. (Melilotus Alba.) Affords 

 excellent food for bees throughout its season . . 

 Japan Clover. ( Lespedeza Striata.) A low- 

 spreading perennial, much like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 



Mammoth Red, or Pea- Vine Clover. ( 777- 



folium Pratense Perenne.) 



RED CLOVER, Medium. ( Trifolium Pratense.) 



CAUTION Every care should be exercised in buying 



Rod Clover, for there is always on the market at a 

 cheap price, large quantities badly infested with weed 

 seeds, which in size and appearance closely resemble 

 Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out Wjien pure 

 seed is expensive, as it is this year. Red Clover is 

 frequently purposely adulterated with Yellow Tre- 

 foil (a small yellow-flowered annual clover of little or 

 no value and apt to become a weed), sold to the 

 unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who 

 do not have the expert knowledge to detect it, and 

 upon whom it is foisted by unscrupulous dealers. 

 Our seed is of high germination, pure and free from 

 weed seeds and foreign matter. 



Price subject to change without notice 



SCARLET CLOVER. ( Trifolium Incarnatum.) 

 ( if great value for sowing in the fall for plowing
