ALFALFA (Mcdicago sativa). Alfalfa is the mainstay of the cattle farmer, particu¬ 
larly of the dairyman. It is grown successfully in almost every section of the United 
States and Canada. Alfalfa requires a deep, fertile, well-drained soil, rich in lime 
and free from weeds. r l he lack of any one of these may be the cause of failure, es¬ 
pecially in the Southern or Eastern States. Well-rotted barnyard manure is a 
suitable fertilizer. Do not use fresh manure as it produces too many weeds. The 
young plants of Alfalfa are very tender and if weeds are plentiful they will kill out 
the Alfalfa. In sowing Alfalfa special care should be taken in preparing the soil. 
Land should be ploughed deep, harrowed and brushed and allowed to settle for some 
time before sowing. In the South and East Alfalfa succeeds best if planted in late 
Summer, and should lie sown as far in advance of what promises to be the most 
trying time for seedlings. Seed should be covered from three-quarters of an inch 
to one inch deep. Inoculation is one of the most favorable methods of securing a 
stand of Alfalfa, especially in the Eastern States, where the soil conditions are less 
favorable to the growth of bacteria. (We recommend the use of “Farmogerm" for 
this inoculation). Quantity of seed required for one acre 20 to 25 lbs I h 25 r

CLOVER Alsike (Tnfolium hybndum). A perennial growing from one to three 
feet in height. Succeeds best in rather cold soil and in marshy lands which are too 
wet for other varieties As it can withstand severe cold it. grows well in the North 
and high latitudes. Excellent for bees. Fifteen pounds to an aeie. Lb. 25c. 
100 lbs. $20.00. ^ 
CRIMSON ( I nfolium mcarnatum). It makes a very valuable crop for pasture or 
green manure. For hay it should be cut when in full bloom. Flowers are bright 
scarlet, Largely grown m all Southern States. Will not stand severe frosts and 
cannot be depended upon to stand Winters north of New Jersey, although in some 
sections of Connecticut and Massachusetts it is grown successfully. Sow twenty 
pounds to the acre. Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $16.25. y 
RED CLOVER (Tnfolium pratense). Medium. One of the most valuable farm 
crops for New England or m the West, for soiling, hay or turning under as green 
manure. Requires deep, rich soil and yields two crops in a season. Sow fifteen 
pounds to the acre. Lb. 25c., 100 lbs. $20.00. 
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium repens). Sometimes called 
Lawn Clover and will succeed almost anywhere in the 
United States, and on almost any character of soil. 
White Clover may be sown at the same time as Red 
Clover; it is rarely sown alone, but usually used in lawn 
mixtures and for pasture. It is often affected by ex¬ 
treme dry weather and will appear as if killed, but on 
the return of the rains will reappear. 8 to 10 lbs. usually 
sown to the acre. Lb. 50c., 100 lbs. $45.00. 
SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus albus). A native of all 
parts of the United States and Canada and is a valuable 
addition to farm crops in many sections. Sweet Clover 
will thrive on most soils, either poor clay or sandy, but 
it prefers a limestone soil. Where lime is deficient, it 
should be added, and good results will l>e attained. It 
is the most vigorous soil enricher of all the Clovers, and 
will grow on soils that will not support an ordinary farm 
crop. Quantitv usually sown to the acre, 30 lbs. Lb. 
40c., 100 lbs. $35.00.
