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 subsoil should not be very heavy and stiff, and impervious to water but loose enough to drain off all superfluous 
moisture. Lb., 31 cts.: 10 lbs., S3.00.
