ALFALF A. or LUCER.NE CLOVER 



It is without doubt the most profitable forage crop that grows, 

 producing 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 pro- 

 duce large crops 

 for twenty years 

 when properly 

 cared for, and will 

 produce from two 

 to four cuttings ' 

 during a season. 

 Gut whenever 

 bloom appears, no 

 matter how small 

 the growth. Will 

 not succeed on 

 wet soils. The 

 roots are very 

 strong, penetrat- 

 ing the ground 

 until they strike 

 water, making it 

 extremely valu- 

 able in dry sea- 

 sons. Experi- 

 ment stations 

 place its feeding 

 value at almost 

 double that of 

 timothy. Sow 15. 

 to 20 pounds to 

 the acre. Lb. 35 

 cts., postpaid ; 

 by freight or 

 express, lb. 20 

 cts., bus. of 60 

 lbs. $9.50. 



ALFALFA, Or LUCEKNB 



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., postpaid ; 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, oi*, 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, 

 grown largely in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vir- 

 ginia, 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 ^xpress, 10 Ibs^ $1, bus. of 60 lbs.
