CLOVERS 
or LllCOrnO (Medlcago Sativa)—One can hardly estimate the value 
^ of Alfalfa where it succeeds, as the yield per acre 
each season is generally four or five cuttings of about two tons each. The hay is 
remarkably palatable and the feeding value has been scientifically estimated to be 
worth nearly twice that of the very best Timothy. Droughts which would either 
destroy or quite stop the growth of ordinary plants have no effect upon Alfalfa, 
as its roots penetrate to astonishing depths in search of moisture, and the effect 
upon the land is highly beneficial. Alfalfa can be sown in either fall or spring. 
The cleaner the ground, the better the stand will be, as young Alfalfa is so slender 
and delicate that it is easily smothered by weeds. Sow on deep, well drained, good 
loamy land. Alfalfa will not grow on acid soils, and to correct p- 
this condition spread 1 to IV 2 tons of finely ground lime to 
the acre after plowing, and a few weeks before sowing. Cut¬ 
ting should be done always as blooming begins. Bu. 60 lbs. 
Sow 30 to 40 lbs. to the acre. Write for prices. 
Alsikc (Trifolium Hybridum)—A very hardy variety and will withstand ex- 
^ tremes of heat, drought and cold better than any other clover. Owing 
to its tendency of lying down on the ground and its somewhat bitter taste, it should 
always be sown in mixture with other clovers and grasses. Does well on soil which is 
too acid or moist for other clovers. Bu. 60 lbs. Sow 12 lbs. to the acre. Write for prices. 
TlrkLIiQVQ nv (Melilotus Alba)—This biennial Clover is adapted to 
~^^^***^^**> any kind of soil, grows from 3 to 6 feet high, 
and on rich soil can be cut three times. 
Bu. 60 lbs. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre.

_ South for winter and early 
spring pasturage, this is most valuable. 
It grows rapidly, and is liked by all 
stock. In the far south, when sown with 
Bermuda Grass, the two make a splendid 
all-the-year-round pasturage. It reseeds 
itself, and improves in growth each suc¬ 
ceeding year. Bushel cleaned, 60 lbs.

(Tryfolium Incarnatum.) 
V^llAuaUil valuable variety 
grows from IV 2 to 3 feet high, and has 
long cone-shaped dark red blossoms. 
The stem is smaller than that of Red 
Clover and is apt to fall over unless 
supported by rye or some stronger plant. 
Sowing is begun during the last of July 
and continues until the last of October. 
Farther South it can be sown later. A 
common practice is to sow the seeds in

furrows of corn and cotton fields at the 
time of the last cultivation. Prepare 
the land some time previous to sowing 
and wait for a rain, and as soon as the 
land is dry enough, break the crust with 
a light harrow, sow the seeds, and cover 
lightly. The seed always make a much 
better start in land which has been 
worked shortly before and needs nothing 
more than the harrow. The seed should 
not be covered deeply, and in dry weather 
rolling is very helpful. For winter pas¬ 
turage there is nothing better than a 
mixture of Rye and Crimson Clover. 
The plant is an annual, and re-sowing 
every year is nec- — 
essary. Bu. 60 lbs. C^ocm^rETMissEE^

(Lespedeza.) A perennial 
^ ^ ^ variety of this useful clover 
that is becoming very popular. The seed 
should be scarified before planting. Lb. 
50 cts., postpaid. (Write for prices on 
Crimson Clover large quantities.) 
(Laspedeza Striata.) This is a perennial, and thrives in any soil in the 
_South. Its most valuable quality is its ability to last through the dryest 
seasons in soils which would support nothing else. Often used in mixtures with 
Carpet Grass for pastures. Bu. 25 lbs. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre. Write for prices. 
KorPari (Lespedeza.) This variety is particularly adapted for high altitudes 
AVUi eg. i ordinary Japan Clover will not reseed. It is also earlier, grows 
more rapidly, and has larger foliage. Bu. 25 lbs. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre. Write 
for prices. 
IVTfiminnfll (Tryfolium Pratense Perenne.) Known also as Pea-vine, 
_L— Sapling Clover, and Cow Grass. It is a vigorous perennial, 
and grows from 4 to 6 feet high. The stalk is coarse when cured, and stock usually 
reject all except the leaves. Bu. 60 lbs. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Write for prices. 
Red Medium (Tryfolium Pratense.) This well-known clover is indispensable 
k: y u 1 every well-managed farm. It not only furnishes fine pas¬ 
turage and excellent hay crops*, but it is one of the cheapest and most eft’ective 
mediums for improving wornout lands. Its enormous root development greatly 
loosens and ventilates the earth and the turning under of the entire plant is very 
beneficial on account of the humus obtained. Red Clover on good land will yield 
two cuttings a year, and should be cut for hay when in full bloom. Bu. 60 lbs. 
Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Write for prices. 
SWEET WHITE BLOOMING (See Bokhara.) 
Dutch (Tryfolium Repens.) Every permanent pasture should have some 
- white clover. It is adapted to all soils, and makes a small, close, 
compact growth like a carpet. Bu. 60 lbs. Sow 10 lbs. to acre. Write for prices.
