ALFALFA or LUCERNE 
Alfalfa, The Supreme Leader of all Plants, for Hay and Pasture. 
No crop ever grown has had such a conspicuous place in increasing the profit from agriculture as Alfalfa. During long, 
protracted droughts it will flourish and yield abundantly when all other vegetation dies. Its long fibrous roots working their way far 
down into the soil liberate, after the hay is cut, an immense volume of plant foods to be drawn on for years to come by future crops. 
It can be cut 3 to 5 times a year and produces from 5 to 6 tons of hay per acre. As a feed for cattle, swine poultry or stock of any 
kind, owing to its large percentage of protein, it is unsurpassed. It grows best in a sandy, rich loam underlaid by a loose permeable 
subsoil. It should not be understood, however, that it requires, necessarily, sandy soil for growing Alfalfa, for this can be raised on 
most any kind of soil, even on stiff clay land. The prime condition for its success is that the land be naturally well drained. The sub- 
soil should not be very heavy and stiff, and impervious to water, but loose enough to drain off all superfluous moisture. We offer Ca- 
nadian seed, which is hardiest, and does best in Canada, lb., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.40. 
White Blossom or Bokhara Clover (Melilotus Alba). Resembles Alfalfa both as to appearance and habit of 
growth when young. It will thrive on most soils, either 
poor clay or sandy, but it prefers a limestone soil. Sweet Clover, like the other varieties, will respond to inoculation with excellent 
results. It will succeed best if planted alone, and should be sown either in the Spring or Fall. It is the most vigorous soil enricher 
of all the Clovers, and will grow on soils that will not support an ordinary farm crop, also provides an excellent green food in the 
early spring months and during periods of prolonged drought. Makes one of the very best foods for honey bees. Quantity usually 
sown to the acre, 30 lbs. To eradicate Sweet Clover, mow it when in full bloom, that it may not re-seed itself. Lb., 23 cts.; 10 
lbs., $2.00.
