Red Clover Makes a Good Hay Crop 
Red Clover 
(Biennial) 
As a soil builder, Red Clover is equal to any; in feeding 
value, it ranks next to Alfalfa. Should be on every Southern 
farm that will grow it. Requires a sweet soil, well drained 
—medium fertile to rich. Plant alone for hay or with Tim¬ 
othy. Fine in pastures, and a splendid soil builder. Sow in 
March, April, September, October. Be sure to inoculate with 
Humus or Nitragin, if you want best results. Prepare seed 
bed well thoroughly, discing and harrowing, sow seed and 
roll in with roller or cultipacker; have ground free of weeds. 
Alsike Clover 
(Biennial) 
Somewhat smaller seed than Red Clover, 6 to 8 pounds 
per acre enough, about equal to Red Clover hay in feed 
value, hay a little finer and preferred by stock. Rarely 
winter kills. Will thrive on poorer soil, and does fine on 
damp moist soils. Does not require lime, or at least very 
little. Grown and handled throughout same as Red Clover. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover 
(Biennial) 
Good for forage pasture and soil improvement—will grow 
on almost any Southern soil (even very sandy soils) that 
contains lime, thriving on land too poor to grow Red Clover 
or Alfalfa. Resembles Alfalfa when young but grows much 
larger, almost same rank in feeding value; both as hay and 
green forage. Stock seldom relish it at first, but when 
forced to eat it, soon develop a decided preference for it. 
Cut it before it reaches the blossom stage—too woody after 
that. Has a deep-spreading, heavy root system making it 
a big Nitrogen gatherer and soil improver, provided it is 
inoculated. Use Humus or Nitragin. Pasture from time 
plants are 6 inches high—the more stock you turn on it the 
better, for close grazing encourages its growth, and when 
tall becomes coarse and unpalatable. Being a biennial, will 
disappear unless allowed to make seed second fall. 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover 
The Yellow Blossom type is very similar to that of the 
White Blossom. For those who wish to use Sweet Clover 
for pasture, hay and bee purposes, we would advise the use 
of the Yellow Blossom type. 
Mammoth or Sapling Clover 
Very much like the common Red Clover but larger, heav¬ 
ier and later. Recommended for thin soils. Sow 10 to 12 
pounds to the acre. 
Crimson Clover 
(Annual) 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds in August and September in South, 
cut for hav in early bloom stage next spring, which is 
best time to turn under for soiling crop. Also furnishes 
large amount of Nitrogen in soil if properly inoculated. 
Use Humus or Nitragin. 
Burr Clover 
Sown in July, August and September. Makes superior 
pasturage, fair hay, and grows on any thin land, and if 
turned under the following spring, acts as a splendid fer¬ 
tilizer. Sow 20 pounds of burrs to the acre. 
New Early Giant Burr Clover 
Exceeds all other varieties as it attains a height of 4 to 5 
feet while Common Burr grows only 1 to lVz feet and be¬ 
sides it is 3 to 4 weeks earlier in growth, blooming and 
maturing of seed. It succeeds on any loamy sandy soil. 
As a cover crop for turning under, you can’t beat this new 
Giant type of Southern Burr Clover. Sow in August and 
September 3 to 5 bushels to an acre. Prices on new crop 
seed given in July and August.

Ru§§ell-Heekle 9 § Pasture and Grass Mixtures 
These are composed principally of grasses which ripen together for cutting; but they also contain other grasses 
which will also add very much to the pasturage yield, in case it is desired to use the fields for pasturage. These grass 
mixtures afford splendid crops of hay of the finest quality and highest feeding value, and after being cut will give con¬ 
tinuous and abundant pasturage till winter comes. May be used for hay exclusively, or for hay and pasturage as needed. 
PERMANENT GRASS MIXTURE No. 1. For hay or pas¬ 
ture. Recommended for light, loamy or medium upland, 
for either hay crop or grazing purposes. Composed of 
Orchard Grass, Perennial Rye Grass, Meadow Fescue 
Grass, Red Clover, Alfalfa, etc. Sow 30 to 35 pounds to 
the acre. 
PERMANENT GRASS MIXTURE No. 2. Intended for good 
moist soils, also for grazing as well as hay. Sow 25 
pounds per acre. This is intended for the average soil. 
Use more seed where land is drier. If stock does not keep 
down to six or ten inches use the mower to do so. 
PERMANENT HOG MIXTURE. Especially prepared for 
pasturing hogs. Composed of Red Clover, Red Top 
Grass, Orchard Grass, Alsike Clover, Rape, etc. Sow in 
February, March and April, also fall, at rate of 20 lbs. 
per acre. 
TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE MIXED. Suitable mixture for 
wet lands, furnishing good pasture and hay. Sow in 
early spring and fall, 15 pounds of the mixed seed per 
acre. 
CHICKEN PASTURE MIXTURE. A splendid mixture of 
grains, clover and grasses for green feed for chicken 
runs. Sow in February, March and September, 30 pounds 
to the acre.
