It Pays to Grow Alfalfa—The Great Money-Making Crop 
A LF ALFA 
Alfalfa produces more dollars of net profit per acre 
than any other general farm crop. Yields 3 to 6 tons 
of the finest hay per acre. While it makes money for 
you it enriches your land. Hogs eat it green or dry. 
Milch cows produce more. Sow during the early fall 
or spring, in thoroughly prepared, well-drained soil, 
broadcast or in drills at the rate of 20 pounds per acre.

lished, it is a great drought-resister with enormous root-system. It enriches the 
soil, lives through the winter, starts growth early in spring, and gives at least 
3 to 4 cuttings, several tons each, of nutritious hay. The first year it grows 3 to 
5 feet tall; the second, each plant puts up 20 to 30 stalks from 5 to 6 feet tall. 
More stems are put up each year. It is extremely leafy. Plant not over J4 inch 
deep in a well-pulverized seed-bed in 3-foot rows at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds

734 White Dutch Clover 
One of the best-known and lead¬ 
ing Clovers for permanent pastures and 
lawns. Accommodates itself quickly to 
nearly all soils. Does well in Bermuda and 
' mixed pastures, furnishing grazing in late 
winter and early spring—long before the Ber- 
f muda starts. Mixes well with all grasses and 
r clovers for a permanent pasture. Under favorable' 
conditions, this Clover does not die down in early 
summer, but remains green until fall. It is not easy 
to tramp out, and at the same time, it restricts soil¬ 
washing and adds fertility. When sown alone, use 
8 to 10 pounds per acre. Planted with other 
grasses or clovers, one-fourth of this amount 
is sufficient. Should be sown during the early 
fall or spring. Inoculate seeds for best re¬ 
sults. (See page 62.) Lb. 50c; 3 lbs 
$1.25. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $3.50; 
100 lbs. $30.00. 
Remarkable new annual 
Clover that has invaded the White Dutch Clover 
fields of Louisiana and thrives best in moist southern 
areas. Used extensively in pasture mixtures. The 
seed we offer is mixed with White Dutch Clover, 
because pure Persian Clover seed is not available. 
Lb. 40c; 3 lbs. $1.10. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $3.25; 
100 lbs. $30.00.

States. It’s very aggressive and hardy. Should be a 
part of all pasture Clover mixtures. It is one of the 
earliest to give grazing. Specially adapted to sandy 
soil and waste lands. When planted on rich soil, it 
will produce larger plants with more foliage. If used 
alone, sow 6 pounds per acre. Plant during the early 
fall or spring. By April it will make excellent grazing. 
Seed should be inoculated. (See page 62.) Lb.
