over all other forage crops.

ceeds on all soils and under all conditions.

YELLOW AND WHITE 
BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
Sweet Clover is becoming more and 
more popular in this territory each year 
for pasture and hay and also as a soil 
builder. We have it on hand almost the 
year round, and always glad to quote 
prices, etc. Also handle Hubam Sweet 
Clover. 
ALSIKE —A very hardy and vigorous 
sort which does well on all soils, but par¬ 
ticularly on those inclined to be wet and 
sandy. 
MAMMOTH CLOVER —Grows four to 
six feet high. The variety best adapted for 
plowing under as green manure on account 
of the* enormous mass of tops and roots 
which it produces. 
BROME GRASS 
Stands excessive drought or extreme 
cold without injury. The grass that has 
made good in the dry sections of the West. 
This extensively advertised grass was 
introduced from Russia. It is a vigorous, 
hardy perennial, with strong, creeping root 
stalks; smooth, upright leafy stems, one to 
four inches high and loose, open seed heads 
four to eight inches long. In a few years 
it forms a very tough sod, soon crowding 
out other grasses, clovers and weeds. 
MEADOW FESCUE OR 
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS 
The name English Blue Grass commonly 
applied to this grass is sometimes confus¬ 
ing, as there is little similarity between it 
and the common Kentucky Blue Grass. 
Meadow Fescue grows much taller and is 
not injured by wet weather; is easy to get 
a stand and will furnish a large amount of 
pasture and hay; neither does it seem to 
be injured by close cropping or tramping.
