PRICES, WHERE QUOTED, SUBJECT TO MARKET CHANGES 
Crimson Clover 
CLOVERS 
Alfalfa Lucerne (Medicago Sativa). (Non-irrigated seed. 
Grown In Kansas.) It is sown during May, August and 
September. Careful preparation of the soil previous to 
sowing is the main thing. Sow not less than y 2 bushel 
(30 lbs.) per acre, preferably with no other crop. Price 
on application. 
Alfalfa (Grimm Strain). Claimed to be hardy in any and 
all regions, a heavy yielder and of deeper rooting ability. 
It requires about 10 lbs. of Grimm Alfalfa to properly 
seed an acre on account of its great root system and 
spreading habit. Price on application. 
Alsike or Swedish Clover (Trifolium Hybridum). One of 
the best for mixing with timothy; it is perfectly hardy in 
every climate or soil condition, it grows from 1 to 2 feet 
high. Sown early in the spring or late summer and early 
autumn. Sow 10 to 15 lbs, per acre alone or 8 lbs. per 
acre with timothy. Price on application. 
Bokhara or Giant Sweet Clover (Melilotus Alba. Syn. M. 
Leucantha). Used either as a feed crop or as a fertilizer 
to plow under. Grows from 4 to 6 feet high, thriving 
on almost any kind of soil. We handle only the true 
white-flowered variety. Sow 15 lbs. per acre during 
April and August. Price on application. 
Crimson Clover (Trifolium Incarnatum). This is used 
principally for soiling or green manuring, for which pur¬ 
poses it is highly valuable. 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. Price on application. 
Mammoth Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense Perenne). This 
differs from the “Medium,” being of a ranker growth 
and yielding more fodder per acre. It ripens somewhat 
later and is more hardy, lasting several seasons longer 
than the medium red clover. It also does well on poorer 
soils. Sow in early spring or in July and August, using 
20 lbs. per acre alone or with other crops 10 lbs. per 
acre. Price on application. 
Red Clover, Medium (Trifolium Pratense). More widely 
known and used than any other, used principally for 
hay purposes. Height from 18 inches to 2% 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. It is not hardy for a period of years, being usually 
resown every third season. Price on application. 
White Dutch or Lawn Clover (Trifolium Repens). This is 
valuable for pasturage; 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; flowers 
greenish white. Sow 10 to 12 lbs, per acre if alone or 5 
lbs. if sown on old turf or with other crops. % lb., 22c.; 
80c. lb.; 5 lbs., $3.80; $7.50 for 10 lbs. Price for larger 
quantities on application. 
SEED WHEAT 
Most of our Seed Wheat is grown in the famous farming 
section of Lancaster County by experienced wheat growers. 
Miracle (Bearded). It is a tremendous stooler, one grain 
producing as many as 25 stalks with often 45 grains to 
each head or stalk. The introducer impresses upon us 
very forcibly not to recommend the sowing of more than 
one-half bushel iier acre. 
Fultzo-Mediterranean (Bald). A cross between the old 
bald “Fultz” and the bearded “Red Mediterranean.” 
Heads are of medium length, well filled with plump, red 
grains. 
Four Rowed Fultz (Bald). The grain on the heads of this 
variety is arranged in spikelets, four grains in the row. 
The .grain is hard, of medium size, red and very plump. 
Leap’s Prolific (Beardless). A most prolific variety indeed. 
The grain is large, dark red and of best milling qualities. 
Lancaster Fulcaster (Bearded). An early ripener, produc¬ 
ing large, hard, plump red grains, and long stiff straw. 
Price’s Wonder (Bearded). A big producer; extra long 
heads well filled with hard dark red grains; chaff white. 
Prices on Seed Wheat will be quoted on application.

duces enormous crops. Sow 6 lbs. per acre, from April 1st 
to October 1st. Price on application. 
WINTER RYE

fall. An excellent green food in spring, and may be used 
for turning under or harvesting. Price on application. 
Rosen. A most prolific new variety. 
RECLEANED TIMOTHY 
Our stock is of very best quality; for sowing among 
wheat as a second-year hay crop or for sowing alone for a 
first-year hay crop this is extensively used. Sow % bu. per 
acre alone or 6 to 8 qts. with wheat. Price on application. 
WINTER VETCH (VICIA VILLOSA) 
Tine Sand or Hairy Vetch. Our stock of this is the true 
type; will live throughout the winter. Sow from August 
1st to October 1st, broadcast, 1 bu. per acre, to which we 
suggest adding a bushel of winter rye or wheat. In the 
spring it can be plowed under as green manure, or when 
in flower, cut for hay. Price on application.
