Tall Meadow Oat Grass Timothy Gross 
RANDALL (See Meadaw Fescue.) 
Red Top, or Herd's (Agrostis Vulgaris). While this hardy 
native perennial grass does best on moist soils, it, however, 
will do well on a variety of soils, even in dry situations. Sow 
alone or in mixture it makes a very fine permanent pasture.

Timothy (Phleum Pratense). This well-known grass succee’s 
best in strong, rich clay soils, but yields well on any land

30 in. Bu., 40 lbs. Sow 26 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
75c; 10 lbs., $1.25. (Write for prices on larger quantities).

CLOVERS 
Airaira or Lucerne (Medicago Sativa). One can hardly esti¬ 
mate the value of Alfalfa where it succeeds, as the yield per 
acre each season is generally four or five cuttings of about 
two tons each. The hay is remarkably palatable and the feed¬ 
ing value has been scientifically estimated to be worth nearly 
twice that of the very best Timothy. Droughts which would 
either destroy or quite stop the growth of ordinary plants 
have no effect upon Alfalfa, as its roots penetrate to astonish¬ 
ing depths in search of moisture, and the effect upon the land 
is highly beneficial. Alfalfa can be sown in either fall or 
spring. The cleaner the ground, the better the stand will be, 
as young Alfalfa is so slender and delicate that it.is easily 
smothered by weeds. Sow on deep, well-drained, good loamy 
land. Alfalfa will not grow on acid soils, and to correct this 
condition, spread 1 to 1% tons of finely ground lime to the 
acre after plowing, and a few weeks before sowing. Cutting 
should be done always as blooming begins. Bu., 60 lbs. Sow 
30 to 40 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.75.

Alsike (Trifolium Hybridum). A very hardy variety and will 
withstand extremes of heat, drought and cold better than 
any other clover. Owing to its tendency of lying down on the 
ground and its somewhat bitter taste, it should always be 
sown in mixture with other clovers and grasses. Does well 
on soil which is too acid or moist for other clovers. Bu. 60 
lbs. Sow 12 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., 
$3.90. (Write for prices on larger quantities). 
Sweet White Blooming (Melilotus Alba). This biennial 
Clover is adapted to almost any kind of soil, grows from 3 to 
5 feet high, and on rich soil can be cut three times. Bu. 60 lbs. 
Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 35c; 5 Ibs.^ $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.25. 
(Write for prices on larger quantities). 
Burr (Medicago Maculata). In the South for winter and early 
spring pasturage, this is the most valuable. It grows rapidly, 
and is liked by all stock. In the far South, when sown with 
Bermuda Grass, the two make a splendid all-the-year-round 
pasturage. It reseeds itself, and improves in growth each suc¬ 
ceeding year. Bushel cleaned, 60 lbs. In the burr, 14 lbs. 
Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00. 
(Write for prices on larger quantities.) 
Crimson (Trifolium Incarnatum). This valuable variety grows 
from 1% to 3 feet high, and has long cone-shaped dark red 
blossoms. The stem is smaller than that of Red Clover and is 
apt to fall over unless supported by rye or some stronger 
plant. Sowing is begun during the last of July and continues 
until the last of October, farther south it can be sown later. 
A common practice is to sow the seeds in furrows of corn and 
cotton fields at the time of the last cultivation. Prepare the 
land some time previous to sowing and wait for a rain, and 
as soon as the land is dry enough, break the crust with a light 
harrow, sow the seeds, and cover lightly. The seed always 
make a much better start in land which has been worked 
shortly before and 
needs nothing more 
than the harrow. 
The seed should not 
be covered deeply, 
and in dry weather 
rolling is very help¬ 
ful. For winter pas¬ 
turage there is noth¬ 
ing better than a 
mixture of Rye and 
Crimson Clover. The 
plant is an annual, 
and resowing every 
year is necessary. 
Bu., 60 lbs. Sow 20 
lbs. to the acre. Lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 
lbs., $2.00. (Write 
for prices on larger 
quantities). 
Sericea (Lespedeza). 
A perennial variety 
of this useful clover 
that is becoming 
very popular. The 
seed should be scari¬ 
fied before planting.
