Henderson’s Northern Grown Alfalfa Seed 
ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa.) A Clover-like leguminous plant of great importance 
as a hay and forage crop, nutritious and rich in protein elements. It grows 2 to 5 feet high and sends 
k roots 5, 10, 20, and sometimes 30 feet into the subsoil. It needs one season to become established, 
9 after which it yields enormous crops annually for many years. 3 or 4 cuttings per season, aggregating 
4 to 6 tons cured hay per acre, are harvested, according to conditions and locality. It does well on 
all good rich soils (except heavy clay), if well drained, or overlying a permeable subsoil; on calcareous 
soil it thrives especially well. Sow in the Northern States during June, July or August, 30 to 40 lbs. 
of seed per acre if broadcasted, or 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled. In the South sow in February or September. 
Price, 36c. lb.; $18.76 bushel of 60 lbs.; $30.00, 100 lbs.
