Alfalfa 
The Profitable and Nutritious Hay Crop. 
Alfalfa or Lucerne will produce from 5 to 7 tons of hay an acre each year in the South. Lime should be applied at the rate 
of 1,500 pounds to the acre. Before sowing the seed it will be best to inoculate them, if Alfalfa has never been grown on the 
soil you are to sow. 
G-rimm Alfalfa. (Ohio grown). May usually be distinguished 
from common Alfalfa. First, by the fact that the blossoms 
are usually, not always, variegated in color, yellow, green, 
blue, brown, etc., instead of all purple. Second, by the 
branching root system instead of the long, straight tap root 
of the common Alfalfa. This enables it to withstand the 
hard winters, the tap root of the common Alfalfa often 
being broken by heavy freezing.

Sweet Clover ( Blossom ) 
Bokhara. (Melilotus alba). This legume 
is native to all parts of this country and 
is the most beneficial of all crops for 
building up worn-out land. Thrives on 
all soils, but like all Clovers requires 
lime which should be supplied on land 
where it is lacking. Makes fine pasture 
for bees and good quality of hay relish¬ 
ed by all stock. Does best when seeded 
alone. Sow in spring or fall. Twenty to 
thirty pounds are required per acre. 
Domestic Clovers 
Medium—Mammoth Alsike 
Very scarce this year. In order to fill 
your order we must have it early. 
We carry a big line of these. On ac¬ 
count of the constant change in prices, we 
hesitate in making a set price. Very often 
the price will drop, then we lose your 
order, when if given a chance to write you 
a personal letter and give both bottom 
prices, we could quote your order. We will 
quote special prices on all grass seeds, and 
gladly send samples of each grade wanted. 
Our Clover seed is carefully raised by ex¬ 
perts and is bright and clean. Write for 
prices before buying.

Canadian Variegated Alfalfa. Originated in Welland 
County, Ontario, about 17 years ago. It is described by Dr. 
Zavitz, of the Ontario Agricultural College, as an excep¬ 
tionally hardy strain of Alfalfa. He reports that in an 
experiment extending over a period of 10 years, Canadian 
Variegated proved hardier than Grimm or Baltic. The New 
York Experiment Station reports Canadian Variegated just 
as hardy and just as high yielder as any strain of Grimm 
Alfalfa. We have the genuine stock to offer, Canadian 
grown, at lower prices even than Montana common.
