82 MICHELL’S HIGH GRADE FARM SEEDS 
RECLEANED CLOVERS 
Weight of Clovers, 60 lbs. per bu. 
Alfalfa or Lucerne ( Medicago-Sativa ). A valuable forage crop. 
Sow during May, August and September, for best results, 
although it can be sown at other times with a possible chance 
of doing well. Sow not less than 34 bushel (30 lbs.) per acre, 
preferably with no other crop. Our seed is always over 99 
pen cent pure, and will invariably give the best results. Our 
Special Instructions on growing Alfalfa is free for the asking. 
Choice Non-Irrigated Northwestern Grown Seed. 40c. per 
lb. (by parcel post, 50c.). 
Grimm Alfalfa. Claimed to be hardy in any and all regions; a 
heavy yielder and of deep rooting ability. It requires about 
15 to 20 lbs. of Grimm Alfalfa to properly seed an acre. 50c. 
per lb. (by parcel post, 60c.). 
Alsike or Swedish Clover ( Trifolium Hybridum). One of the best 
for mixing with Timothy; perfectly hardy in every climate, or 
soil condition; grows from 1 to 2 feet high; sow early in the Spring 
or late Summer and early Autumn, 10 to 15 lbs. per acre alone or 
8 lbs. per acre with timothy. 40c. per lb. (by parcel post, 50c.). 
Bokhara or Sweet Clover ( Melilotus Alba). While extensively 
used as a bee food, this is a valuable variety for soiling (green 
manure); for sowing in Spring on lands which are later to be 
sown in Alfalfa, this is excellent. It grows from 3 to 5 feet high, 
according to soil and location; can be cut as often as three times 
in a season if wanted for forage. Sow 15 lbs. per acre in early 
Spring, alone, or 10 lbs. per acre with other crops. We handle 
only the true white flowering hardy variety. Choice Hulled 
Seed. 25c. per lb. (by parcel post, 35c.). 
Crimson Clover ( Trifolium Incarnatum). Used principally for 
soiling or green manuring. If desired for feed, cut it just before 
it flowers. When desired for green manure, it should be allowed 
to mature; its height is from 1 to 2 feet. Sow any time from 
April to October, the earlier the better, 20 lbs. to the acre. If 
sown in early Spring it can be plowed down the first year. Late 
Summer or Fall seeding is usually practiced. It is not hardy for 
more than one season and must be sown each year. 30c. per 
lb. (by parcel post, 40c.). 
Mammoth Red Clover ( Trifolium Pratense Perenne ). Some¬ 
times called Sapling or Pea Vine Clover and English Cow Grass. 
This differs from the “Medium,” being of a ranker growth and 
yielding more fodder per acre. Sow in early Spring or in July 
and August, using 20 lbs. per acre alone, or with other crops 
10 lbs per acre. It can be cut several times in a season. 45c. 
per lb. (by parcel post, 50c.). 
Red Clover, Medium (Trifolium Pratense). More widely known 
and used than any other, used principally for hay purposes. 
Height from 18 inches to 234 feet. Sow early in the Spring or 
in late Summer—July and August; if alone, 20 lbs. per acre; 
if with other crops, 10 lbs. per acre. A red clover field can be 
cut twice a season. 40c. per lb. (by parcel post, 50c.). 
White Dutch or Lawn Clover (Trifolium Repens). This is valu¬ 
able for pasturage as well as for lawns; it succeeds where other 
clovers and grasses fail and it seldom dies out. It can be sown 
at all seasons, although early Spring is best. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. 
per acre if alone, or 5 lbs. if sown on old turf or with other 
crops. 75c. per lb. (by parcel post, 85c.); 5 lbs., $3.50 (by parcel 
post, $3.65); $6.00 per 10 lbs. (by parcel post, $6.20); 25 lbs., 
$14.00; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 
To secure best results all Clover Seeds should be inocu¬ 
lated with Stimugerm. See page 80. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
These are used for various purposes, chief among them being 
a very early green food; when used this way they are sown with 
oats about April 1st at the rate of 134 bushels of Peas and 134 
bushels of Oats to the acre either drilled or broadcast. They 
may be sown successively up to July if one has the available land. 
Peas may also be sown alone at the rate of 3 bushels per acre and 
furnish excellent hay. The dried peas are extensively fed to 
pigeons, while when ground as meal are an excellent addition to 
the regular soft food of cows, sheep and horses. 60 lbs. per bu. 
25c. per qt. (by parcel post, 40c.). 
CORN, WHITE KAFFIR (For Seed) 
The grain is used for feeding poultry and the fodder for 
cattle. Grows from 4 to 6 feet high, the grain being produced on 
the top of stalk in the shape of a brush; frequently as many as 
four heads of grain will be found on a single stalk. It usually ripens 
after the first few frosts; produces enormous crops. Can be sown 
as late as July at the rate of 10 lbs. per acre in drills. 56 lbs. per 
bu. 15c. per lb. (by P. P., 25c.). 
COW PEAS 
Cow peas are one of the best, largest yielding and most nu¬ 
tritious of the farm crops; they provide the most inexpensive 
method of bringing soil back to a stage of fertility. They grow 
in the poorest kind of soil, leaving it very rich in ammonia. In 
the latitude of Philadelphia sow from May 1st to July 1st, two 
bushels per acre broadcast, or one bushel per acre in drills. For a 
large crop sow the seed as late as possible. 60 lbs. per bu. 
New Era. A small upright growing variety of early maturity; 
very prolific. 25c. per qt. (by parcel post, 40c.). 
Whippoorwill. Medium early; upright growing; a variety more 
extensively used than any other. 25c. per qt. (by parcel post, 
40c.). 
FLAX 
This is grown for the fibre from which linen thread is made 
and also for the seed from which that indispensable product, 
“Linseed Oil,” is made. When ground it makes an excellent tonic 
when fed to horses, cattle and poultry. If grown to harvest seed, 
sow 1 bushel to the acre from May 15th to June 15th. If desired 
for the fibre, sow 134 2 bushels per acre. 56 lbs. per bushel. 
25c. per lb. (by parcel post, 35c.). 
MANGEL WURZEL 
Sow 5 lbs. per acre in April and May in thoroughly plowed, 
well-manured soil, in drills about 24 inches apart. Thin out to 
12 inches apart in the row.
