JMeOlum Bed Clover. 
Medium Bed, "Peerless" — I/Ooking to the future, no time should 
be lost in introducing the bacilli of the Rod and Alfalfa Clov- 
ers. The use of nitro cultures may tend to hasten their es- 
tablishment, but nature's way. and the best way. is to use a 
small quantity of seei, say a pound or two of Red and Alfalfa 
Clover to the acre with whatever crop you are seeding. After 
a little you have the prized baccill in your land, then you may 
safely call your farm doubled in value from a producing 
standpoint. Red Clover is regarded as the most important of 
the whole genus for practical agriculture; valuable not only 
for forage, but also a fertilizer for the soil. Long, powerful 
tap-roots, which in decaying add largely to that black mass 
of matter we call soil. 
Mammotti Bed "Peerless Grade" — This variety of clover matures 
about two weeks later than the ordinary red clover, and will 
produce a heavier yield per acre than any other variety. It 
is also better adapted to. poor sandy soil than other sorts, Al- 
sike included. On account of its vigorous heavy growth, it 
should be cut for hay before the bloom fully matures, other- 
wise the heavy growth will have a tendency to become woody. 
It is by far "the best variety known where clover is desii-ea 
for a hog pasture. 
Alsike or Swedish "Peerless" Grade — This Clover originally came 
from the little Province of Alsike in Sweden. One of the 
hardiest varieties known, is perennial and does not winter 
kill; stands alike drouth or wet. We know of many who have 
used Alsike Clover to sow in boggy land, making this land pro- 
duce a crop or pasturage and at the same time enabling it to 
be driven over as the mass of roots make a heavy sod. Favor- 
ite with bee keepers. Flowers with sweet agreeable odor. 
Alsike or Swedish "Placer" Grade — Second only to our "Peerless" 
grade. 
White Dutch — K.\cellent for pasture, and when mi.xed with Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass, makes the finest and most nutritious fooi 
for sheep and cows, used univers-iUy for lawns in the Unlteii 
.States. Sow 5 to 8 pounds to the acre alone for pasture; loi 
lawn. 1.1b. to 400 square feet. 
Crimson Clover— An annual variety in common use in Italy and 
.southern France for feeding green. Also grown largely in 
this country in Virginia., where it is called "German Clover, 
and we think would do well in our western states, for green 
manure and fertilizer.
