ITALIAN RYE GRASS 
For beautiful green winter lawns sow Italian Rye Grass in 
late fall or early winter. 
This type of grass grows well in most any soil throughout 
the winter, but is killed back by extreme summer heat. An 
early sowing of D. & B.’s Velvet Green Lawn Grass in Febru¬ 
ary or March over this grass will establish a permanent lawn.

CLOVERS 
As the market prices of all Clovers, Grass and Farm Seeds 
are constantly fluctuating, we are not quoting prices in this 
catalogue, but will enclose with each catalogue when mailed 
our price list giving current prices of these, and will always 
be glad to quote firm prices and send our current price list 
of all Farm Seeds at any time on request. 
ALFALFA—Will produce from 5 to 7 tons of hay to the acre 
per year, and it can be cut four, and with favorable weather 
conditions five, times a year, and it does not exhaust the 
soil; its long roots penetrate 15 to 20 feet in the ground, and 
it therefore successfully resists droughts and gets moisture 
from this depth during dry spells, whereas any other crop 
would be a failure. Although fall sowing is preferable, good 
results can be obtained from Spring sowing, if sown in 
March or early April. It should be seeded on high and 
rather dry land, as it does not succeed as well on wet 
grounds. It should be seeded at the rate of about 25 to 30 
pounds to the acre broadcast. The soil should be thoroughly 
prepared and plenty of lime applied, not less than 1,000 lbs. 
to the acre, and if your land has never had Alfalfa grown 
on it before be sure to inoculate the seed with Stimugerm, 
for without inoculation your success is exceedingly doubtful. 
Alfalfa is adapted to almost the entire South, and is said 
to have the highest feeding value of any other hay. See Cur¬ 
rent Price List for quotations. 
RED CLOVER—This is the common Red Clover so popular 
and well known everywhere—the farmer’s friend and soil re¬ 
storer, the bountiful feed plant. Can be sown in the Spring 
from February 15th to April 1st; also from July 1st to Oc¬ 
tober 10th, and will be ready for mowing the following 
Spring. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the acre. See Current 
Price List for quotations. 
MAMMOTH, OR SAPLING CLOVER—Very much like the 
common Red Clover, but of heavier growth and about two 
weeks later in maturing. Especially recommended for thin 
soils. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the acre. See Current Price 
List for quotations. 
ALSIKE CLOVER—This is probably the best variety to sow 
with other grasses for a good hay. On stiff, moist soil, 
makes a good pasture and a very valuable hay. Stands cold 
well, on either wet or dry soils. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the 
acre. See Current Price List for quotations. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER—Thrives in any soil or climate, 
and being of low, creeping growth, is especially valuable for 
pastures and lawns ; also for bees, as it probably makes bet¬ 
ter and clearer honey than any other blossoms. Sow 6 to 8 
pounds to the acre. See Current Price List for quotations. 
SWEET CLOVER, OR WHITE BOKHARA—This is a good 
clover to sow on poor or thin land as a soil improver and 
to prevent washing. It is very hardy and stands heat and 
drought remarkably well. It makes good grazing while young
