CLOVERS 
Clover is the foundation of permanent agriculture in the North and East. 
Plants of the Clover family have the faculty of taking nitrogen from the 
air, and also render available much of the inert plant-food of the soil. 
Their long, powerful tap-roots penetrate to great depths, loosen the soil, 
admit air, and by decay add immensely to the fertility of the land. 
Medium Red ( Trifolium pratense). Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $18.00 
Mammoth Pea Vine ( Trifolium pratense magnum). Of ranker growth 
than Medium Red and usually lasts longer. Excellent for plowing under 
to improve exhausted soils. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Lb. 22c., 100 lbs. $20.00 
Alsike or Swedish ( Trifolium hybridum). The hardiest Clover. It resists 
cold and extreme drought, and for low, wet land is most valuable. Excel¬ 
lent for bees. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $18.00 
White Clover ( Trifolium repens). This variety is included in many mix¬ 
tures for lawns and permanent pastures. It is adapted to all soils. 
Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. H lb. 35c., lb. $1.25, 100 lbs. $100.00 
Crimson Clover ( Trifolium incarnatum). Also known as Scarlet or 
Carnation Clover. A rapid-growing annual of great value where only 
one crop is desired. Excellent as a cover-crop in orchards, or for plowing 
under to improve poor soils. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Lb. 25c., 100 lbs. $20.00 
Yellow Sweet Clover ( Melilolus officinalis). More suitable for turning 
under than the White variety. A good crop with which to prepare land 
for alfalfa. Height about 2 feet. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel.

ALFALFA 
Alfalfa is a legume, taking free nitrogen from the air and storing it up in 
the deep-growing roots. As green fodder or cured hay. Alfalfa is relished 
above all forage crops by stock. 
To grow a good field of Alfalfa, it is important to select deep, loamy, well- 
drained land with loose subsoil, as standing water will soon kill out the 
young plants. Plow and harrow the land thoroughly, and with the first 
harrowing apply at least one ton of Agricultural Lime per acre, thereby 
correcting any acidity in the soil and, what is more important, making 
conditions favorable to the activity of nitrogen-gathering bacteria upon 
the presence of which success depends.

Northern-grown seed of high purity. Hardy and suited to New England 
conditions. Lb. 25c., 20-lb. lots and over, 22c. per lb.

the first quality, free from fungous diseases, weighing not less than 
40 lbs. to the measured bushel, of strong germination, and of most attrac¬ 
tive appearance. Two bushels of King Oats will plant more area than 
4 bushels of the common Seed Oats procured from local sources.

FIELD CORN 
Breck’s Hybrid Sweepstakes. A recently developed hybrid, obtained by 
combining four different inbred strains of Dent Corn. As high as 29 tons 
of good ensilage per acre have been secured here on New England farms, 
during the past few years. This is remarkable in latitudes as far north 
as Concord, N. H. The growth is distinctly heavier, more leafy, with 
larger ears, and a deeper, richer green color than any ensilage Corn in this 
vicinity. We recommend 10 quarts of seed per acre.

Corns. Kernels are a deep golden color, ears large, about 12 in. long, 
maturing in about 108 days. Recommended for ensilage. In a Rhode 
Island test, the yield was 24 tons per acre. We recommend planting 
10 quarts per acre. Qt. 20c., pk. $1.25, bus. $4.00

kernels and small cobs. Ears of medium size. A popular sort in northern 
New England. Qt. 15c., pk. $1.00, bus. $3.50 
Early Sanford. A popular White Flint variety, equally valuable for en¬ 
silage or grinding. The 8-rowed ears average from 9 to 10 inches in length 
and have broad, cream-white kernels. Qt. 15c., pk. $1.00, bus. $3.50 
Eureka Ensilage. One of the most popular White Dent varieties among 
dairymen. It is enormously productive of both foliage and ears. Our 
Virginia-grown seed has given great satisfaction in New England.
