CLOVER SEED 
Alfalfa Northwestern grown. For bringing up 
a I dll a poor land it is the best of the Clovers, as it not 
only produces large masses of foliage but forces its roots 
deeply into the eai-th. On land that is not naturally rich it 
needs fertilizing to help it get started. If there is no lime 
in the soil a top dressing of it should be given when the 
land is plowed. For inoculation, see “Nitragin” offer, page 
18. It should be mowed often enough during first season 
to keep the weeds down, being careful to cut above the 
crowns of the Alfalfa plants. Not adapted to low, wet land.

sometimes called June Clover and is a dependable all-around

the last crop may be harvested for seed, cut for hay, or 
plow’ed under to add fertility to the soil. It may be sown 
either in the spring or fall, and if no other grasses are

spring when seed pods, which resemble small Peas, are just
