Alfalfa. 
RED CLOVER. . _ 
ai*&rt, for that means the next season you \vill 
probably get from 3 to s tons per acre, and it in- 
creases for several years, producing as high as 10 
tons, but that is a very large yield. It should be cut 
when in full bloom, but don't cut too early and be 
jarefu'i not to allow it to become water soaked 
after cutting, as it greatly reduces its value for 
feeding. Don't feed hungry stock on It when green, 
as it is likelv to bloat them, for they Invariably 
over eat; bv this we mean not to turn hungry stock 
loose in a field of Alfalfa. Grade A, lb. 25c, pk. i.oo, 
bu. (60 lbs.) $7.00; grade B, pk. $1.75, bu. $6.50. 
Alsike or Swedish Clover. 
Hybridum.) Kn<>wn the world over f(»r its hardi- 
ness. It is without doubt the hardiest clover we 
bave ever grown, standing 4-0 degrees below zero 
without the slightest damage and flourishing dur- 
xag the summer heat, as though its home were in 
the far south. It is a great favorite with bee rais- 
ers and its flowers have a sweet and agreeable odor. 
It is also valuable for mixing with other clovers, as 
H forms a thick bottom and increases the yield of 
hav. Sow at the rate of 10 pounds to the acre.

linXrharn Cifwe'f (Melilotus Leueantha.) 
jDDIVIlcirct V'lUVCI . A. rather tall growing 
Avhite flowered variety that is excellent for bee food, 
for which purpose it is largely grown in many sec- 
tions. The best results are obtained by sowing it 
In the earlv spring in drills 12 inches apart, sowing 
10 pounds i)cr acre. Lb. 2SC, pk. $.350, bu. (60

Crimson Clover. \^,^LS''^t 
an annual variety which has been grown largely in 
the southern, middle and northern states. In >;ood 
ground it often grows to the height of 2 feet, and 
even in poor soil -where red clover fails it will make 
ft splendid growth. The yield in fodder is immense, 
iind after cutting it at once commences to grow] 
.again and continues until cold, freezing weather. 
Sow at the rate of lO pounds per acre. Lb. 25c,

Mammoth Red Clover. JJ^ft'e'ns^e 
Percnne.) Also called English and Sapling. Tall 
Rowing species that is used by farmers for hog 
pastux-e. It makes a marvelous growth in rich 
loamy soils and a splendid showing on thin land. 
■Ripetis with Timothy and should be sown with it, 
using about 10 or"l2 pounds per acre and 20 
pounds of Timothj-. Popular for plowing under a; 
a lertiliz 
(Medicago Saliva.) (See cut.) Also called Lu- 
cerne, Eternal Clover and Wonder Clover. This Is 
truly the farmers' friend. It has been grown in almost every por- 
tion of America and reports from the Northwest prove it to be 
one of the most desirable forage plants ever introduced. It stands 
drouth and dampness, and succeeds during hot, dry weather when 
many other clovers and grasses fail entirely. Heavy r:uns or 
snow's fiavc no damaging eDcct whatever, and simply make it 
flourish more than ever. As a fertilizing, land enriching crop it is , 
unequaled. The roots sink down into the earth searching for noulishment and 
bringing to the surface the chemicals and fertilizing materials that have been 
stor«i 10 to 15 feet dee,,. One seeding stands for years All catt e <ond of it. 
Horses cows, pigs and sheep relish it, and we believe it one ol the best things 
"l i t can be fed tS cows, an<f it certainly increases the flow of milk wonderfully. 
If mss We sow with oats (try Bonanza King and then you will have two good 
things growing at once on the same land ) at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, or If 
t! e linf ™ ver? poor sow 3 pounds more. The first seas<m the growth be 
verv light, but don't be w'orried if the plants are small and se^^•ral inches 
Medmm Red Clover. 
(See ctit.) (Trifoliunr 
I'ratense.) This is 
also listed as "Tune Clover" by some firms, but It Is simply 
Red Clover and we don't want the farmers to think It i» 
anything else. Our seed Is carefully grown and selected for 
seed purposes and we know the government report will back 
up our claim, which is, that there is no other firm in America 
more particular regarding the purity of their seeds than our- 
selves. About 15 or 18 pounds are sown to the acre. I-or 
pasturage when sown with grasses it is excellent I* at- 
tains a height of 3 feet; is said by many to be the best 
clover for hav. We are not going to say (as some of our 
competitors <io) that we are the only seedsmen in America 
who grow Grass and Clover seeds or that can supply good 
seed but there Is no firm in the West or Northwest that can 
beat 'our "Selected" Medium Red Clover. They may have 
just as good, but thev can't possibly have seed that will 
surpass it in hardiness and vigorous, rapid giowth. 
Weight 60 pounds per bushel. Grade A, lb. 30c, pk. $1.75, 
bu. (60 lbs.) $6.00; grade B, pk. $1.50, bu. $5.75. 
'Tl^^i-^-H^^T (Phleum Pratcnse.) This seed is worth 
1 imULIiy. double that grown in lower latitudes. Try 
it and be convinced. It thrives best on moist loamy soils 
and under favorable conditions usuallv attains a height of 
about 4 feet. It is relished by all kinds of stock as it 
yields a larger percentage of nutritive matter than any 
other earlv grass. It is not a success 'as a pasture grass, 
but of great value for hay. Our knowledge of the diflcrent 
kinds of timothy proves to us that the seed we offer is of 
unusual vigor and the yield certain to surpass that of seed 
grown in the middle aiid southern states. Sow at the rate 
of 12 pounds per acre. Grade A, lb. 25c, pk. 90c, 
bu. (4S lbs.) $3.40; grade B. pk. 80c, bu. $3.15. 
Cf.cfaHf'lla (See cut.) The greatest honey produc- 
SerrtlUCllcl. ing plant In the world. Its nutritive 
value is superior to Red Clover and the yield is much 
he.-ivier. Serradella also has the peculiarity of thriving on 
any soil and doing equally well in any locality. All kinds 
of cattle like it and sheep are particularly fond of this 
splendid plant. Our supply Jias been obtained direct and the 
seed which we offer is «I the finest quality. Lb. 25c,
