LEGUME CROPS 
Alfalfa-Grimm (Idaho Blue Tag) State Certified. The highest grade of the 
hardiest strains. Alfalfa lequires well limed soil and good drainage. It furnishes 
more green forage, more pasture and more dry hay per acre than any other 
known variety of hay or grass. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. For best results, inoculate 
every seeding. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover-Alsike. Is somewhat smaller in growth than red clover and the 
blossoms are pinkish white instead of red. Will thrive on poorer soil. Does not 
require lime and will produce well in damp spots. Sow 8 lbs. per acre. For best 
results, inoculate every seeding. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover—Mammoth Red. This is a distinct type, similar to Medium Red in 
seed and blossom, but making a larger, coarser growth and a more extensive root 
system. It matures a little later and is at the best stage for cutting at the same 
time as Timothy. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. For best results inoculate every seeding. 
Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover—Medium Red. Is the most largely grown and most generally use¬ 
ful legume crop in America. In feeding value, the hay ranks next to Alfalfa. As 
a soil builder, it is the equal of any and superior to most. If sown with Timothy, 
the Clover usually predominates the first season and the Timothy the second 
season. After the second season the Clover largely disappears. Sow 10 lbs. per 
acre. For best results inoculate every seeding. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover—Sweet White Blossom. It will grow in almost any climate and on 
almost any type of soil, thriving on land too poor for Alfalfa or Red Clover. It 
is a biennial. As hay or green forage, it ranks with Alfalfa in feeding value. 
Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. 
Clover—White Dutch. Since it is low growing, it is not adapted for hay. 
It is used chiefly for pastures and lawns. Although perfectly hardy and not espe¬ 
cially sensitive to conditions of soil moisture and drainage, White Clover must 
have lime. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Cow Peas. They are coarse, bushy and spreading in growth. Since they 
require a long growing season and considerable warmth, they are not adapted 
for growing in this climate. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. Sow in drills, 1 bu per 
acre. 
Field Peas—Canada. Unlike Cow Peas, they do not need a long growing 
season but thrive best in a cool, moist climate. They arc grown for hay, green 
forage and soil improvement, usually being seeded with Oats. Weight 60 lbs. per 
bushel. Sow 2 bu. per acre. 
GRASS SEEDS 
Timothy. Has been for years the standard and most widely grown hay 
grass. Is a short-lived perennial; a stand does not last more than four or five 
years, yielding its best crop the year after it is sown. Weight 45 lbs. per bushel. 
Sow 12 lbs. per acre. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Requires two or three years to become well set. 
Once established it is checked by, but lives through, considerable drought. It is 
the most nutritious of American pasture grasses. Also largely used for lawns. 
Weight 14 lbs. per bushel. Sow 1J/2 to 2 bu. per acre. 
Canada Blue Grass. Is less productive and slightly less palatable than 
Kentucky Blue Grass. On the other hand, it is hardier and will grow on poorer 
soil. Weight 14 lbs. per bushel. Sow 1 to \]/> bu. per acre.
