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. V/ill 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. 



CRIMSON, 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 ;
