Alfalfa 
Allen’s Guaranteed Farm Seed 
Alfalfa 
The Profitable and Nutritious Hay Crop 
Alfalfa or Lucerne will produce from 5 to 7 tons of hay an acre each 
year in the South. Lime should be applied: at the rate of 1,500 pounds to 
the acre. Before sowing the seed it will be best to inoculate them, if 
Alfalfa has never been grown on the soil you are to sow. 
Canadian Variegated Alfalfa. Originated in Welland County, Ontario, 
about 17 years ago. It is described by Dr. Zavitz, of the Ontario Agricul¬ 
tural College, as an exceptionally hardy strain of Alfalfa. He reports 
that in an experiment extending over a period of 10 years, Canadian 
Variegated proved hardier than Grimm or Baltic. The New York Experi¬ 
ment Station reports Canadian Variegated just as hardy and just as 
high yielder as any strain of Grimm Alfalfa. We have the genuine 
stock to offer, Canadian grown, at lower prices even than Montana 
common. 
Grimm Alfalfa. (Ohio grown). May usually be distinguished from com¬ 
mon Alfalfa. First, by the fact that the blossoms are usually, not 
always, variegated in color, yellow’, green, blue, brown, etc., instead of 
all purple. Second, by the branching root system instead of the long, 
straight tap root of the common Alfalfa. This enables it to withstand 
the hard winters, the tap root of the common Alfalfa often being broken 
by heavy freezing. 
Clovers 
Medium and Mammoth Reds 
We offer these two clovers in both Ohio and Michigan grown and also 
in imported European clovers. We have tried the foreign clovers here 
on our own place and find they do well, in fact at the present high price 
of domestic grown we advise at least a trial of same. Write for prices on 
both these at once, the market will be stronger although it is high now’. 
Alsike Clover 
Market price quite high, but our stock is exceptionally good and we 
would like a chance to quote you on our stock which is the very best. 
We do not handle cheap or inferior seeds, nothing but the very finest 
products. 
Sweet Clover ( Blossom ) 
Bokhara. (Melilotus alba). This legume is native to all parts of this 
country and is the most beneficial of all crops for building up worn-out 
land. Thrives on all soils, but like all Clovers requires lime, which should 
be supplied on land where it is lacking. Makes fine pasture for bees and 
good quality of hay relished by all stock. Does best when seeded alone. 
Sow in spring or fall. Twenty to thirty pounds are required per acre. 
(Can also furnish yellow Yellow Blossom if desired).
