r The Ordinal Legume Inoculator ^ 
ALFALFA is the most profitable crop by far grown in 
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, 
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Nebraska. No other crop on 
a twenty-year average produces nearly as many dollars 
per acre as does Alfalfa. 
Cultivation is very simple, the essentials being well drained 
soil, at least eight feet to permanent water, shallow plant¬ 
ing, thorough harrowing and packing. 
PERFECTION BRAND ALFALFA SEED is the highest 
grade of American grown seed, testing 99.50 per cent pure. 
Per lb. 35c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 30c; 10 
lbs. $2.30. Write for special price in quantities. 
CLOVER 
RED CLOVER—The most important and best known of 
all clovers, being used for pasture, hay, and enriching the 
land. For the latter purpose it is considered the cheapest 
fertilizer known. Lb. 45c, postpaid; by freight or express, 
lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER—The heads are globular, 
very sweet and fragrant and much liked by bees, which 
obtain a great amount of honey from them. It produces a 
great amount of herbage during the season ; the stalks are 
very fine ; it makes a valuable hay crop where other clovers 
fail. Sow from 4 to 0 pounds per acre. Lb. 45c, postpaid; 
by freight or express, lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75. 
CLOVER 
WHITE CLOVER—For lawn purposes this is very desirable on account 
of its creeping stems. It spreads rapidly and acts as a binder: very 
hardy; in permanent pastures is of considerable value. Lb. 55c, postpaid. 
BLACK MEDIC—A wonderful clover that is hardy enough to be grown 
as far north as the Ohio River. It spreads as fast or faster than most 
any other clover, and the only soils it will not thrive on, provided they 
are sweet, are the loose sandy and water soaked type. May be sown 
from early September to March, the earlier the better. It is an ex¬ 
cellent hay plant, even with a short growth, and it has no equal for 
permanent pastures for late winter and spring grazing, dying down by 
July, and reseeding with the closest grazing. It can also be used to 
excellent advantage for cover crop. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Lb. 
35c, postpaid. Ask for quantity prices. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA—This variety makes a larger growth than 
ordinary Japan Clover, 15 to 24 inches, single plants having a spread of 
3 ft. ; has larger leaves; furnishes pasturage about three weeks earlier. 
The strong root growth penetrates about 8 inches deep, making it highly 
drouth resistant, and thriving on poor, wornout soils where alfalfa and 
clovers would fail. Its feeding value is about equal to Alfalfa; has 
no woody stem; holds its leaves well, and produces a full crop the first 
season. When sown alone broadcast 10 to 15 pounds per acre, during 
late freeze after a light harrowing, but do not cover the seeds. Per 
pound, postpaid, 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50. Write for prices on quantities. 
SERICEA LESPEDEZA (Perennial)—A new drought-resistant legume. 
Stands indefinitely, breaks up hard pan, doubles the grazing, requires no 
lime or fertilizer, drought proof, thrives on poor land. 
Sericea is extremely leafy, leaves holding on well from the top to the 
bottom of the stems. Leaflets are small, one half the size of Alfalfa. 
It will make two cuttings of hay the first year and two to four cut¬ 
tings a year thereafter. At Arlington, Va., it made as high as four 
tons per cutting. It starts budding during March or April and is ready 
to cut by June. The hay is tender and of excellent quality if cut twelve 
to eighteen inches tall, before the stems get too large and woody, and 
the cattle relish it either for grazing or hay. It produces hay at much 
less expense than soy beans. It has half more protein than grasses and 
about the same as Alfalfa and Red Clover. 
The seed bed should be well pulverized and firm. One to two pounds 
of scarified seed should be planted to the acre in three-foot rows and 
cultivated. Five pounds drilled broadcast to the acre give thin stand the 
first year and a good stand the second year. Twenty-pound broadcast 
gives a full stand the first year. Scarified seed should be planted in 
March or April, after danger of frost. 
Plant only hulled and scarified seed, as Sericea seed when harvested 
is hard and does not absorb water, so the seed will not germinate prop¬ 
erly unle-ss scarified. 
We offer CERTIFIED AND SCARIFIED Seed at 90c per pound, 10 
lb. lots for $8.00, postpaid. 
We also have SCARIFIED SEED at 60c per pound; 10 lb. lots for $5.00, 
postpaid. 
Write for special prices in quantities. 
YELLOW HOP CLOVER—It is a very valuable winter and spring 
clover, and reseeds abundantly. It responds well in increased growth 
to an application of phosphates, as do all winter legumes. Sow 4 to 8 
lbs. per acre. Lb. 45c, postpaid. Ask for quantity prices.
