low, wet land where Red Clover does not thrive.

years, either for hay or in pasture. It makes fine 
hay of high feeding value. It is very valuable in 
pastures, especially on wet or heavy soil. Sow 6 
to 10 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. 
Postpaid (lb. 40<-> (5 lbs. $1.75) (lO lbs. .$3.00) (25

Postpaid (14 lb. .30e) (lb. »Oc) (5 lbs. .$4.25) (10 lbs. 
.$S.OO) (25 lbs. $18.75). 
SWEET CLOVER—The culture of Sweet Clover is 
practically the same as for Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, 
however, will make an immense growth and if cut 
before it is too ripe makes excellent hay. It is also 
valuable for pasture for hogs, sheep and cattle. 
Like Red Clover this is a biennial and should be 
renewed every other year. The seed may be sown 
in the late fall and winter, or early spring as well 
as ill the summer. Sow 12 to 20 pounds per acre. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER—White Blos¬ 
som makes the rankest growth of any clover. It 
produces the biggest hay crop and is the best soil 
enricher and green fertilizer. It breaks up the 
soil, gathers nitrogen from the air and deposits it 
in the soil. 
Po.stpaid (lb, 30c) (5 lbs. $1.25) (10 lbs. $2.00) 
(25 lbs. $4.50).

makes finer hay or pasture.

LESPEDEZA (Korean Clover)— Korean Lespedeza is 
an annual Legume with very fine stems. In gen¬ 
eral appearance it resembles Alfalfa. It grows 
about 15 inches high. Where the stand is scattered 
the plants branch profusely. Where the stand is 
thick the plants have an upright growth like Red 
Clover or Alfalfa. Lespedeza grows on poor soils 
and increases the fertility as well as improves the 
physical condition of the soil. It is an annual but 
will reseed itself each year so that only one sowing 
is necessary for a permanent pasture. For pasture 
about 8 pounds of seed is required per acre. On 
tilled land for hay or for a seed crop 10 to 12 
pounds per acre should be sown. Korean Les¬ 
pedeza is palatable to all classes of live stock, par¬ 
ticularly cattle It will stand close grazing by 
cattle and still set enough seed to maintain a stand. 
Postp.'iid (lb. 30c) (5 lbs. $1.25) (10 lbs. $2.00) 
(25 lbs. $4.50). 
STR.AWBERRY CLOVER (Trifollum Fragifemm)— 
Is primarily a pasture crop. It thrives on wet, 
seepy ground, which may be crusty with alkali and 
is apparently more resistant to alkali than any 
other clover. It is capable of spreading and es¬ 
tablishing itself by its stout creeping runners. 
Three to five pounds will seed an acre. A firm 
seed bed is essential and moisture is necessary 
near the surface of the soil to insure germination 
of the seed and establishment of the small plants.

For Hay and Pasture 
BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermis) —Yields enormous 
crops of splendid hay, and affords early and 
abundant pasture. It adapts itself to almost any 
condition of soil and climate and to any use to 
which grass may be put. The roots penetrate the 
soil deeply and form fresh plants on every side. 
It starts from two to three weeks earlier in the 
spring than native prairie grass, and keeps green 
in autumn longer than any of the useful grasses 
grown in the West. No amount of cold seems to 
affect it, and it surpasses all other grasses in 
resisting heat and drought. It equals timothy for 
hay, and is splendid to sow with alfalfa, clover, 
meadow fescue or orchard grass for pasture. 
Postpaid (lb. 35c) (5 lbs. $1.50) (10 lbs. $2.75) 
(25 lbs. $6.25). 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Standard or Forage 
Strain)— Is a drought resistant, long-lived grass. 
It is equal or better, in feed value for hay or 
pasture to Brome Grass, Slender Wheat Grass, 
Western Wheat Grass and is relished by live 
stock and yields as well or better. It is adapted to 
a wide range of soil types. It is easily plowed 
up and can be killed by plowing, even though it 
has an extensive root system. Should be sown 
on a well prepared soil, which contains a suffi¬ 
cient amount of moisture to give the crop a good 
start. The 'seed should be put in not over a halt 
inch deep either with or without a nurse crop. 
Best without a nurse crop. Sow seed at the rate 
of 10 lbs. per acre, either broadcasted or drilled in 
or from 4 to 5 pounds per acre when planted in 
3-foot rows, to be cultivated and raised primarily 
for a seed crop 
I’ostpaid (lb. 35c) (5 Ib.s. .$l,.jO) (10 lbs. $2.50) (25 
lbs. $5.50). 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Fairway Strain) —This 
differs from the above in that it does not grow 
quite as tall and is more leafy and under most 
conditions will produce as much hay per acre as 
the Standard Strain. The Fairway has more uses 
and can be used in lawns, fairways, boulevards, 
school yards, parks, farm lawns and in areas 
where water is not readily available.

SLENDER WHEAT GRASS (Western Rye Grass) —

cover a space of one foot in diameter. It is a per¬ 
ennial, resistant to both drought and cold. Has 
ability to grow in alkali land and is very palatable 
to cattle and horses.

CANADA BLUE GRASS—A more rapid grower than 
Kentucky Blue Grass and equally good for pas¬ 
ture, but not as suitable for lawns. This is an 
excellent pasture grass for poor, dry land and 
should be more largely used for this purpose. 
Postpaid (lb. 45c) (5 lbs. $2.00) (10 lbs. $3.80) 
(25 lbs. $8.75). 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS, for Pasture —One of the 
best grasses for pasture and lawns. It starts to 
grow very early in the spring and remains green 
late in the fall. It does well on either high, dry 
land or places that are quite moist.
