Jloffman’s CRIMSON CLOVER 
This legume is especially valuable for soil improve¬ 
ment or as a cover crop. Likely to Winter-kill in 
the North. Will grow on poorer land than Red 
Clover, and add much fertility to the soil. Gathers 
great nodules of nitrogen-fixing bacteria at its roots. 
Best suited for sections south of Pennsylvania, 
but can be used successfully in lower parts of Penn¬ 
sylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. Seeded from June 
15th to late August. Not sown in the Spring. 
Matures in June. Often broadcast in corn fields at 
last cultivation. Should be put in carefully prepared 
ground after Spring crops are removed. Sow 20 
pounds per acre. Be sure to inoculate the seed. See 
page 10. 
Crimson will make only a moderate growth in 
the Fall, but comes up quickly in the Spring and 
matures early. . . . Most failures with Crimson are 
due to not covering the seed properly, thin sowing, 
poor seed, lack of inoculation. In a careful farmer’s 
hands Crimson Clover can be made a source of 
good profit. 
Emergency PASTURE MIXTURE for 
HOGS - SHEEP - CATTLE - POULTRY 
Here is a mixture of quick-growing seeds, made especially 
for farmers who want green feed for farm stock at little 
labor and expense. 
Under favorable conditions, you will get a satisfactory 
growth in four weeks. Makes fine pasture for hogs or sheep. 
For cattle, most farmers cut the growth and haul it to 
the stock in the barn. This prevents damage from stamp¬ 
ing down. After the growth has been cut, it will come up 
again. 
Pasturage from this mixture helps to produce flesh, fat, 
wool, and dairy products. Must not be sown before June 
1st, and not later than August 1st. It will continue to grow 
until frost, but will not Winter through. 
Plant at the rate of about 70 pounds per acre, either broad¬ 
cast or with a seeder. Then harrow it in. It may also be 
sown with a grain drill.
