Alfalfa 
ALFALFA is the most profitable crop by far 
grown in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mex¬ 
ico, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming 
and Nebraska. No other crop on a twenty- 
year average produces nearly as many dollars 
per acre as does Alfalfa. 
Cultivation is very simple, the essentials be¬ 
ing well drained soil, at least eight feet to 
permanent water, shallow planting, thorough 
harrowing and packing. 
PERFECTION BRAND ALFALFA SEED is 
the highest grade of American grown seed, 
testing 99.50 per cent pure. Per lb., 35c, post¬ 
paid; by freight or express, lb., 30c; 10 lbs., 
$2.50. Write for special price in quantities. 
Clover 
A Field of Perfection Brand Alfalfa 
WHITE CLOVER—For lawn purposes this 
is very desirable on account of its creeping 
stems. It spreads rapidly and acts as a binder ; 
very hardy; in permanent pastures is of con¬ 
siderable value. Lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
BLACK MEDIC—A wonderful clover that is 
hardy enough to be grown as far north as the 
Ohio River. It spreads as fast or faster than 
most any other clover, and the only soils it 
will not thrive on, provided they are sweet, 
are the loose sandy and water soaked type. May 
be sown from early September to March, the 
earlier the better. It is an excellent hay plant, 
even with a short growth, and it has no equal 
for permanent pastures for late winter and 
spring grazing, dying down by July, and re¬ 
seeding with the closest grazing. It can also be 
used to excellent advantage for cover crop. Sow 
10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Lb., 35c, postpaid. Ask 
for quantity prices. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA—This variety makes 
a larger growth than ordinary Japan Cover. 
15 to 24 inches, single plarfts having a spread 
of 3 ft.; has larger leaves; furnishes pastur¬ 
age about three weeks earlier. The strong root 
growth penetrates about 8 inches deep, making 
it highly drouth resistant, and thriving on 
poor, wornout soils where alfalfa and clovers 
would fail. Its feeding value is about equal to 
Alfalfa; has no woody stem; holds its leaves 
well, and produces a full crop the first season. 
When sown alone broadcast 10 to 15 pounds 
per acre, during late freeze after a light har¬ 
rowing, but do not cover the seeds. Per lb., 
postpaid, 25c; 10 lbs., $2,00. Write for prices 
on quantities. 
YELLOW HOP CLOVER—It is a very valu¬ 
able winter and spring clover, and reseeds 
abundantly. It responds well in increased 
growth to an application of phosphates, as do 
all winter legumes. Sow 4 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
Lb., 50c, postpaid. Ask for quantity prices. 
Clover 
RED CLOVE R—The most important and 
best known of all clovers, being used for pas¬ 
ture, hay, and enriching the land. For the lat¬ 
ter purpose, it is considered the cheapest fer¬ 
tilizer known. Lb., 40c, postpaid; by freight 
or express, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER—The 
heads are globular, very sweet and fragrant 
and much liked by bees, which obtain a great 
amount of honey from them. It produces a 
great amount of herbage during the season; 
the stalks are very fine; it makes a valuable 
hay crop where other clovers fail. Sow from 4 
to 6 pounds per acre. Lb., 45c, postpaid; by 
freight or express, lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.75. 
Sweet Clover 
Sweet Clover is a crop that is hardy ; defies 
wet and drouth; never winter kills, and will 
grow on land that will not produce Alfalfa. 
Many wet, waxy soils are being farmed un- 
profitably by other crops that would produce 
a large crop of Sweet Clover, and furthermore. 
Sweet Clover will turn that poor land into 
land that will, within four or five years, be 
nearly 100 per cent better for any other crop 
that the farmer wants to put there. 
Sweet Clover has long, deep roots that per¬ 
mit water and air to penetrate to the lower 
levels of the soil and thus greatly aids the 
mechanical condition of the soil. As Sweet 
Clover is a legume it increases the nitrogen 
content of the soil. Wheat, Corn or Alfalfa 
grown on a field following Sweet Clover are 
greatly improved. Yields of 10, 15 and 25 per 
cent increase are not at all uncommon. 
Sow in the spring. It takes about twenty 
pounds of hulled seed to the acre. White or 
yellow, 20c per lb., postpaid. Write for prices 
in quantities. 
Soy Beans 
Soy Beans are very erect, growing with 
from one to six stems or more, branching out 
from the roots and reaching a height of 1% 
to 3% feet; seldom falling down, except in 
very rich, loose soil. Soy Beans are a remark¬ 
able drouth-resister, and will do comparatively 
well on thin land; however, they respond very 
readily to moisture and rich land. Planting 
should not be done until the weather is warm 
and after the corn olanting. 
LAREDO SOY BEANS (Plant 15 pounds 
per acre)—A very small black bean and recog¬ 
nized as one of the best hay varieties. One of 
the good features of the Laredo, is that it can 
be planted earlier than other varieties with 
the assurance of getting good germination, as 
the seed will stand more abuse from weather 
than any other Soy Bean. Laredo is medium 
early and a good grain yielder; it is bad about 
shattering and must be harvested when ready 
or a loss will result. Matures in 120 to 130 
days. Yield around 2 tons per acre. Ask for 
prices when ready to buy. 
VIRGINIA SOY BEANS (Plant 20 pounds 
per acre)—A small brown seeded variety. 
Early. Will make hay in 60 to 80 days. 
Matures in 100 to 120 days. A very good grain 
yielder, but shatters badly when ripe. Should 
be harvested for seed while foliage is still on 
stalk in order to avoid loss. Ask for prices 
when ready to buy.
