ALFALFA, or LUCERNE CLOVER 
It is without doubt the most profitable forage crop that grows, pro- 
ducing valuable crops of excellent hay and should have a place on every 
farm. It is easily grown when supplied with proper bacteria. It is a 
perennial plant on well-drained soils, so that when once established it 
will continue to 
produce large 
crops for twenty 
years when prop- 
erly cared for, and 
will produce from 
two to four cut- 
tings during a sea- 
son. Cut when- 
ever bloom ap- 
pears, no matter 
how small the 
growth. Will not 
succeed on wet 
soils. The roots 
are very strong, 
penetrating the 
ground until they 
strike water, mak- 
ing it extremely 
valuable in dry sea- 
sons. Experiment 
stations place its 
feeding value at 
almost double that 
of timothy. Sow 
15 to 20 pounds to 
the acre. Lb. 35

ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER 
The hardiest of all sometimes called Giant White Clover. It is a 
perennial, therefore adapted for permanent pastures or for hay crop. 
Never heaves or throws in the winter; thrives equally well on wet- or 
dry soil, through extreme droughts or excessive rains ; grows on clover- 
sick land and yields a heavy bulk of herbage where no other Clover 
succeeds. Its superior pasturage is much liked by cattle. Blossom- 
heads round, flesh-colored, sweet and fragrant, much liked by bees. 
Sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre in spring or fall. Lb. 35 cts., post- 
paid ; by freight or express, 10 lbs. £2, 25 lbs. £4.25, bus. 
of 60 lbs. about $9.50. 
or SCARLET CLOVER 
An annual variety providing large crops of green forage, or, if cut 
while in bloom, will make excellent hay. As a green manuring crop for 
grain, fruit or trucking crops, it gives the very best results, while for 
improving poor land it has few equals. It succeeds on every kind of 
soil, standing southern suns and northern winters, and is now grown 
largely in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and 
has succeeded in every state where tried. Sow 15 pounds to the acre 
from July to September. Lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts., postpaid ; 
by freight or express, 10 lbs. $1, bus. of 60 lbs. about $5.25.
