NITRAGIN — Oldest and Most Widely Used Ineculator in America I 
ALFALFA 
Selection of Alfalfa Seed Is Most Important 
Poor seed is a primary and great cause of a poor stand. 
In buying Alfalfa Seed the highest priced seed is often 
the cheapest. The loss is much greater in using seed 
of poor quality, than the difference in cost of the seed. 
This loss comes from the labor thrown away, the stands 
lost and yields sacrificed by its use, as well as the final 
exDense in getting rid of the weed seeds introduced. 
Inoculation Is necessary. Inoculation means putting 
or planting in the soil, nitrogen-fixing germs or bacteria 
without which the Alfalfa cannot flourish. Where Sweet 
Clover grows wild, in the field or along the roadside, 
artificial inoculation for Alfalfa may not be necessary 
as the same bacteria grows on the Sweet Clover as on 
Alfalfa and natural inoculation takes place. But there 
is no other plant which commonly grows wild in the 
North that can support the same bacteria as the Alfalfa. 
Gould’s Reliable Grimm Alfalfa 
Grimm is undoubtedly the variety best adapted to our 
Northwestern climate. Grimm Alfalfa has the hardiness 
to withstand our northern winters, and is recommended 
by leading authorities and experiment stations as being 
the one to plant. We know of Grimm Alfalfa fields that 
have been seeded ten and fifteen years ago that are still 
producing three good crops each year. Although the 
cost of the seed is generally much higher than that of 
ordinary Alfalfa, we consider it the cheapest in the end. 
See our Special Field Seed price list for prices. 
Minn. Variegated Alfalfa 
This Alfalfa, which is grown in Minnesota, is a very 
fine strain of Alfalfa and can be grown with absolute cer¬ 
tainty of its being hardy and sure to produce an 
abundant crop the second year from planting. Prices 
are listed on Special Yellow price list. 
CLOVER SEED 
Medium Red Clover 
This is the recognized standard of the clover family. 
It produces two crops each year. The first Is generally 
harvested for hay when in full bloom. The second crop 
may be harvested for seed, cut for hay, or plowed under 
for fertilizer. Refer to Special list for prices. 
Alsikc or Swedish Clover 
One of the hardiest varieties known. It Is perennial 
and does not winterkill. It will do better on moist land 
than any other variety of clover, and is suitable for either 
hay or pasture. When sown with other grasses, it forms 
a thick undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. It 
is frequently sown both with medium Red Clover and 
with Timothy, and the quality of hay thus produced Is 
excellent. It Is fine stemmed and leafy and quickly 
cured. It makes a very profitable seed crop In many 
sections of the Northwest. See Special price list for 
prices. 
Mammoth Red Clover 
This variety is grown mostly for pasture and for soil¬ 
ing. It is a very vigorous grower, but Is not desirable 
for hay unless cut when quite young. Prices quoted on 
Special price list. 
White or Dutch Clover 
A low close growing clover, with round white heads. 
Very fragrant and desirable for beautifying the lawn. 
It will stand close cutting and very rapidly throws up 
an abundance of leaves and blossoms. It Is usually better 
to sow with other grasses. Does well on most any soil. 
Prices given on Special list. 
Sweet Clover, White Blossom 
This variety Is the one most generally referred to when 
sweet clover Is mentioned. It makes the most abundant 
growth of any of the clovers. Because of Its dense 
growth and enormous root system. It Is a vefry valuable 
soil Improving crop. While It Is a biennial and normally 
only grows for two years It will generally reseed Itself 
if allowed to grow to maturity. Ohio Extension Bulletin 
No. 55 says that an acre of sweet clover will add as much 
nitrogen to the soil as 20 tons of manure. See Special 
Field Seed price list for prices. 
Sweet Clover, Yellow Blossom 
This variety grows finer and more spreading than the 
white and Is not so tall. It matures more quickly than 
the White Blossom and for a second season the hay crop 
Is probably preferable to White Sweet Clover because of 
its finer stems. Refer to Yellow price list for prices. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
An excellent, hardy, perennial grass especially adapted 
to low lands where other grasses will not thrive. Will 
produce two crops a year after the first year. The hay 
is as good as Timothy and is relished by horses and 
cattle. Sow 4 to 6 pounds to the acre broadcast or 2 to 3 
pounds with drill. See Yellow list for prices.
