This valuable forage plant is increasing in popularity as a crop suitable for all kinds of stock, and 
yielding a bulk of fodder unequalled by any other similar plant. 
It thrives best in deep light soils, but also does well in calcareous loams. Sow 20 lbs. of seed in April in 
drills 8 inches apart, or broadcast at the rate of 24 to 30 lbs. per acre.

CARTERS ‘‘LUCERNE” MIXTURE. 
The value of l.ucerne as a constituent in Permanent Pastures is admitted, but it should not be sown 
with the finer Grasses, to the existence of which it must necessarily prove fatal by reason of its rapid and 
powerful growth. 
The Mixture we offer comprises the strongest growing Clovers, Lucerne, and Grasses remarkable for 
bulk and nutritive properties.

SAINFOIN. 
ONOBRYCHIS SATIVA. 
Sainfoin is one of the most valuable forage plants we possess for producing a quantity of nutritious hay, 
appreciated by all kinds of stock. 
Though most suitable for chalk soils, it will produce good crops in light and dry soils, or wherever a small 
supply of chalk is available. 
The simplicity of its cultivation and its natural ability to withstand severe springs and droughty 
summers are causing the acreage of the crop to be largely extended in all the southern counties. 
Sow in March or April with or without a corn crop at the rate of 4 to 5 bushels per acre in drills 
about 9 inches apart. If milled seed is used 56 lbs will be sufficient. 
A/"./}. — Whilst taking every care to see that our supplies of Sainfoin' Seed come from a reliable source, this is a crop which is not 
grown by ourselve . , and we are in consequence unable to guarantee its character.

CARTERS SAINFOIN MIXTURE. 
Many authorities recommend a sowing of Sainfoin in conjunction with other grasses and clovers, and we 
therefore prepare a mixture consisting of Sainfoin, White or Alsike Clover, Cowgrass, and grasses. This 
mixture is specially adapted for sowing upon all soils where a full Sainfoin crop cannot be more profitably 
grown.
