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 mto the sou 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, poidtry or stoelc 
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 
De raised on most any kind of sod. 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. Ask for Price List.

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.
