Nicholson*s Grasses, Clovers and Alfalfa 
Farmers, dairymen and land owners in the South¬ 
west have learned to appreciate the real value of Pas¬ 
tures and Hay Crops, with the realization that there 
is yet much to be accomplished before we are on an 
equal footing with other Southern States. 
Grasses do best on rich soil; therefore for perma¬ 
nent pasture it is wise to select good soil. Poor soil can 
be profitably utilized for pasture, but you will do well 
to start such pastures with a nitrogen-gathering clover 
or other legume and follow with the proper grasses 
after the legumes have stored nitrogen in the soil. 
Clovers are legumes and by the aid of bacteria 
growing in the nodules on their roots, these plants use 
the nitrogen of the air, thus enriching the soil. Clovers 
are nutritious and contain valuable minerals necessary 
Your State Agricultural Authorities will advise you to plant 
for the growth and welfare of livestock. Clover also 
contains less fibre than grass and is therefore more 
digestible. 
Alfalfa is classed as one, if not the most valuable of 
all forage or hay crops, and is adapted to most sections 
of the Southwest. 
NICHOLSON’S Grass, Clover and Alfalfa Seeds 
enjoy the very highest reputation as to germination, 
purity and quality, and are not to be compared with 
light weight, chaffy seed of poor quality that are 
usually offered at attractive prices. It is certainly to 
your advantage to plant fewer pounds of HIGH 
QUALITY Grass, Clover and Alfalfa seeds than more 
pounds of cheap seed that are usually full of chaff or 
hulls and often weed seed. 
the very BEST Grass, Clover and Alfalfa seed obtainable.
