Medium Red Clover. This is the recognized standard of the clover fam¬ 
ily. 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.46 26.40 
Mammoth Red Clover. This variety is grown mostly for pasture and for 
soiling. It is a very vigorous grower, but is not desirable for hay 
unless cut when quite young.47 27.00 
Alsike Clover. Grows well on low, wet land where Red Clover does not 
thrive. For heavy or wet land it is a good plan to mix Alsike and 
Red Clover, using about half of each. Alsike being a perennial will 
last for a good many years, either for hay or in pasture.41 23.40 
White Blossom Sweet Clover. This variety is most generally referred to 
when sweet clover is mentioned. It lives for two years only, but will 
reseed itself if allowed to mature. Sweet clover will grow well on 
most any kind of soil, and will improve the soil for future crops.. .16 9.00 
White or Dutch Clover. A low close growing clover, with round white 
heads. Very fragrant and desirable for beautifying the lawn. It will

Timothy. This crop is cut for hay; probably surpasses any other grass 
in cultivation; it thrives best on moist, loamy soils, and is not well 
suited to light, sandy or gravelly soils, it should be cut just when 
the blossom falls.$0.08 $2.70 
Red Top. Valuable for most soils. Good permanent grass; stands our 
climate well; is adapted to our pastures; has succeeded on alkali soil 
when other grasses failed. Fancy clean or hulled seed; sow 8 to 10 
pounds per acre.18 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Will outlive any other grasses for pasture or lawn, 
but should not be cut or pastured too closely in extremely hot, dry 
weather. The seed is very slow in germinating, therefore, it is ad¬ 
visable to plant with other varieties of quicker growing habits. Makes 
a sweet and nutritious pasture for all stock.23 
Sudan Grass. Sow early in May, and the crop should be ready for the 
first cutting in July. Broadcast 18 to 25 pounds per acre.06 
Reed Canary Grass, or Phalaris. It thrives in locations where the water level is 
practically at the surface of the soil all the time and above the surface part of 
the time. No other forage crop, the seed of which is available in quantity, will 
thrive so well on highly productive lands that are too wet for most other crops. 
Broadcast 4 to 6 pounds per acre. Pound 35c
