CLOVER AND GRASS SEEDS 
For Pasture, Mowing and Lawn 
(Pricoa varialde during the season. Ask for quotations in large quantities.) 
ALFALFA (Minlicago sativa). Alfalfa is the mainstay of the 
rattle farmer, partieulurly of the dairyman. It requires a deep, 
fertile, well-drained soil, rieh in lime and free from weeds. The 
lack of any one of thew may l>c the cause of failure. Well-rotted 
barnyard manur.' is a suitable fertilizer. Do not use fresh manure 
tis it protiuees too nmny wr^eds. The young plants are very 
tender and if wewls are plentiful they will kill them out. Special 
care should be taken in preparing the soil. Land should bo 
ploughe<l deep, harrowed and brushed and allowed to settle for 
some time.beiore sowing. Alfalfa succeeds best if planted in late 
Summer and should b<* sown as far in advance of what promises 
to be the most trying time for seedlings. f^e<l should be covered 
from three-(iuarters of an inch to one inch <leep. Inoculation 
is oiM- of the most favorable methods of securing a stand. (We 
reconunend tlie use of ".Mtilford Cultures'’ for this inoculation).

Clover; it does not thrive on sandy or leachy soils, but w’ill adapt 
itself to a wider range of soils than any other grass. For best 
results it should be harvested when in full bloom. It may be 
sown alone or with Timothy and Clover; these additions increase 
the quantity and quality of the hay. Red Top makes one of the
