FARM 
ALFALFA 
Rich in proteins and lime—hence a great feed crop 
for dairy cows, beef cattle, hogs, sheep. A marvel- 
ous soil builder and soil restorer, too, when prop- 
erly inoculated. 
We carry a full range of selected Alfalfa varieties, 
all well suited to the needs of this territory, and of 
the highest quality. 
CLOVERS 
MEDIUM RED—The most valuable of the 
Clover family. Makes two crops the second year. 
Does not exhaust the soil, but enriches it. 
SWEET, WHITE BLOSSOM—Most abundant 
growth of any of the Clovers. Makes a pasture 
earlier than other crops and will keep stock in 
good condition until winter regardless of heat and 
drought. Use to build up worn out fields. 
ALSIKE—Very hardy. Does better on moist land 
than other varieties of Clover. Suitable for hay or 
pasture. When sown with other grasses, forms a 
thick undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. 
Frequently sown both with Medium Red Clover 
and with Timothy, and the quality of hay thus 
produced is excellent. Finer and more leafy than 
Medium Red Clover and cattle prefer it. 
OTHER CLOVERS—Space doesn’t permit list- 
ing of all our offerings of Clover. We have all the 
varieties common to our section, each one selected 
and handled with expert care and caution, so as 
to assure you the top yields and best quality. 
GRASSES 
ORCHARD GRASS—Hardy, quick-growing. 
Gives a large yield of excellent hay. May be cut 
several times during season. Not recommended 
for lawn use. 
RYE GRASS, DOMESTIC—Fast-growing one- 
year grass. Makes a full crop, yields abundantly, 
and matures all in one season. Helpful as a nurse 
crop to other grasses. 
SUDAN —tThe ideal emergency hay and pasture 
crop for late planting. Never plant until ground is 
thoroughly warmed. 
TIMOTH Y— Unsurpassed as a crop for hay. 
Relished by all kinds of stock, especially horses. 
Not suited for permanent pasture. 
BROME GRASS—Drought defying, resistant to 
frost and extreme heat alike. Starts 2 to 3 weeks 
earlier than native prairie grasses, and stays green 
later in fall. Produces abundant pasturage and 
enormous crops of high grade hay. 
RAPE—One of the very finest pastures for eco- 
nomical production of pork, mutton, or beef. A 
good crop gives you 12 to 15 tons of green food 
per acre. 
SOY BEANS—The crop of many purposes. Ex- 
cellent for hay, ensilage, grain, and soil improve- 
ment. Ground soy beans areas good or better than 
Oil Meal for mixing with your grainsina balanced 
dairy ration. 
We offer the highest quality seed of a good range 
of varieties. Consult us about the choice of varie- 
ties best suited to your own needs. 
VETCH—A great producer, for hay, pasturage, 
or silage. Good cover crop and soil builder. May 
be sown spring or fall, is not particular as to soil, 
and needs only moderate moisture.
