LEGUME CROPS 
Alfalfa-Grimm—State Certified. The highest 
grade of the hardiest strains. Alfalfa requires well 
limed soil and good drainage. It furnishes more 
green forage, more pasture and more dry hay per 
acre than any other known variety of hay or grass. 
Sow 20 lbs. per acre. For best results, inoculate 
every seeding. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover-Alsike. Is somewhat smaller in growth 
than red clover and the blossoms are pinkish white 
instead of red. Will thrive on poorer soil. Does 
not require lime and will produce well in damp 
spots. Sow 8 lbs. per acre. For best results, inoc¬ 
ulate every seeding. Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover—Mammoth Red. This is a distinct 
type, similar to Medium Red in seed and blossom, 
but making a larger, coarser growth and a more 
extensive root system. It matures a little later 
and is at the best stage for cutting at the same 
time as Timothy. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. For best 
results inoculate every seeding. Weight 60 lbs. 
per bushel. 
Clover—Medium Red. Is the most largely 
grown and most generally useful legume crop in 
America. In feeding value, the hay ranks next to 
Alfalfa. As a soil builder, it is the equal of any and 
superior to most. If sown with Timothy, the 
Clover usually predominates the first season and 
the Timothy the second season. After the second 
season the Clover largely disappears. Sow 10 lbs. 
per acre. For best results inoculate every seeding. 
Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Clover—Sweet White Blossom. It will grow in 
almost any climate and on almost any type of soil, 
thriving on land too poor for Alfalfa or Red Clover. 
It is a biennial. As hay or green forage, it ranks 
with Alfalfa in feeding value. Weight 60 lbs. per 
bushel. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. 
Clover—White Dutch. Since it is low growing, 
it is not adapted for hay. It is used chiefly for 
pastures and lawns. Although perfectly hardy and 
not especially sensitive to conditions of soil moisture 
and drainage. White Clover must have lime. Weight 
60 lbs. per bushel. 
Cow Peas. They are coarse, bushy and spread¬ 
ing in growth. Since they require a long growing 
season and considerable warmth they are not 
adapted for growing in this climate. Weight 60 
lbs. per bushel. Sow in drills, 1 bu. per acre. 
Field Peas—Canada. Unlike Cow Peas, they 
do not need a long growing season but thrive best 
in a cool, moist climate. They are grown for hay, 
green forage and soil improvement, usually being 
seeded with Oats. -Weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Sow 2 bu. per acre. 
GRASS SEEDS 
Timothy. Has been for years the standard and 
most widely grown hay grass. Is a short-lived 
perennial; a stand does not last more than four or 
five years, yielding its best crop the year after it is 
sown. Weight 45 lbs. per bushel. Sow 12 lbs. 
per acre. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Requires two or three 
years to become well set. Once established it is 
checked by, but lives through, considerable drought. 
It is the most nutritious of American pastme grasses. 
Also largely used for lawns. Weight 14 lbs. per 
bushel. Sow 13^ to 2 bu. per acre. 
Canada Blue Grass. Is less productive and 
slightly less palatable than Kentucky Blue Grass. 
On the other hand, it is hardier and will grow on 
poorer soil. Weight 14 lbs. per bushel, ^w 1 to 
IJ^ bu. per acre. 
Red Top. No other grass will grow under as 
great a variety of conditions as Red Top. It will 
thrive on almost every type of soil except sand. 
It grows rapidly and vigorously, forming a compact 
sod that persists under heavy grazing. _It is also 
used for lawns. Weight (re-cleaned) 35 lbs. per 
bushel. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. 
Orchard Grass. Is a long-lived perennial. It 
gets its name from its ability to grow in the partial 
shade of orchards and open wood lots. As a con¬ 
sequence, its principal use is for pasture and hay 
under shady conditions. Weight 14 lbs. to bushel. 
Sow IH to 2 bu. per acre. 
Rye Grass—Domestic, (Perennial). Noted for 
its rapid growth. Is not especially productive but 
serves a very useful purpose in permanent mixtures 
because it sprouts and grows quickly, forming a 
cover while the slower growing grasses are getting 
established. Weight 24 lbs. to bushel. Sow' 1 to 
1)^ bu. per acre. 
Rye Grass—Italian. Slightly coarser than 
Domestic, annual variety, little used in the North. 
Chewings Fescue. Of all the finer grasses, none 
will stand more hard wear and trampling. It grows 
on poor, dry, sandy soil; resists drought and does 
well in shaded places. Particularly fine for lawns. 
Sow 30 lbs. per acre. 
Poa Trivilias. (Rough Stalked Meadow Grass). 
A fibrous rooted perennial, noted for its productive¬ 
ness and quick growth, doing best on rich, moist 
soils and in shaded places. 
Sudan Grass. A quick-growing annual sumrner 
hay grass. It should largely supplant millet, which 
yields only a single cutting, whereas Sudan grass 
will give at least two.
