Nicholson's Graded Alfalfa 
Seed 
(Medicago Sativa) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Many successful Alfalfa growers make it a 
habit to run a harrow over their fields in 
crisscross fashion after cutting. This helps to 
keep down the weeds and encourages a more 
rapid growth. This method will not hurt the 
roots of your plants. Alfalfa can be cut at any 
time from start of bloom stage to the time 
the plants are in full bloom. 
Your soil should be clean and well prepared, 
but firm. Cover the seed about one inch deep 
with harrow. Firming the land by use of a 
roller after planting will help you to get a 
good stand, as well as a more uniform growth. 
The seed should be sown broadcast at the 
rate of 20 pounds to the acre in September, 
October and November. Can also be planted 
in February, March and April. 
Inoculate your seed before planting with 
NITRAGIN.

NIEHDLSONS TESTED ELOVEH SEED For The South 
Clover contains valuable minerals 
necessary for the growth and welfare 
of animals. Clover is a legume, and in 
growth takes nitrogen from the air 
and stores it in the soil. Plant several 
clovers in your permanent pastures. 
BUR CLOVER 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Bur Clover is used extensively and does well 
mixed with other clovers and grasses for 
permanent pastures. It also thrives on a wide 
range of soils, including sandy loams and 
lime-clad soils. 
It is one of the finest crops for winter 
pasturage, and being a legume, it also places 
nitrogen in the soil while growing. 
Should you plant seed in the bur, it is wise 
to plant your burs earlier than you would 
hulled seed, as seeds in the bur are slower to 
germinate. If planted in this manner, it is 
best to mix 20 pounds or more with pulverized 
manure, on a basis of one pound of burs to 
a bushel of manure. Drop the mixture by hand 
not more than 30 inches apart each way. If 
you want to be doubly sure of a stand, you 
will do well to use larger quantities of the 
mixture. If the hulled seed is sown, use 20 
pounds to the acre. 
Bur Clover may be sown advantageously on 
Bermuda sod, the two plants furnishing almost 
continuous grazing. In this case the seeds are 
either sown early without covering, or else 
the Bermuda sod is so plowed as not to de¬ 
stroy the roots. Use ten pounds of seed in 
the bur or four to six pounds of the hulled 
seed per acre for planting on Bermuda sod. 
Early Southern Giant Bur 
Clover in Bur 
This variety is an improved Bur Clover that 
has attracted much attention over the South. 
It perpetuates itself if allowed to make seed. 
Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c, postpaid. Please ask for 
prices in larger lots. 
California Hulled Bur Clover 
(Medicago Hispida Denticulata) 
This variety of Clover is popular for sowing 
in mixtures of grasses and clovers, as the seed 
are out of the bur and more easily planted. 
Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Not postpaid 
10 lbs., $2.25. Ask for prices in larger quan¬ 
tities. 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER 
(Trifolium Hybridum) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “B” 
Alsike Clover is a perennial, often treated 
as a biennial, as many smooth stalks come 
from the crown. In many heads the blooms 
are all white, in others all pink; sometimes 
partly pink and partly white. 
The leaves are larger than those of white 
clover and less heart-shaped. The plants are 
semi-erect, growing tall enough for mowing. 
As a rule this plant makes growth in both 
winter and summer, this being especially so 
on moist lands. When it is sown with grasses 
it forms a thick undergrowth and greatly 
increases the yield. 
When sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds to 
the acre. It is best, however, to sow with 
other grasses and clovers, using about one- 
quarter of the above amount. Plant in fall or 
spring. Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities.
