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 roots S, 10. 20, and sometimes 30 feet into the subsoil. It needs one season to become established, after which it 
yields enormous crops annually for many years. 3 or 4 cuttings per season, aggregating 4 to 6 Ions 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, bow 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; the latter is advisable 
so that cultivation may be given; in the South sow in February or September. Price, 24c. lb.; $12.50 bush, of 60 lbs.; $20.00, 100 lbs.

‘I am sending yoji a photo of my Alfalfa field, which has been growing five years last May and this is the twelfth cutting, yielding something over two tons per acre. 
I now have a fine field, with the third crop showing an even stand from eighteen to twenty inches high nearly ready to cut, which proves conclusively that Alfalfa can he 
grown on ha rd pan htll land if rightly managed. You are at liberty to print this in your spring Catalogue." JOHN F. LANGWORTHY.
