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 ot 
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—The 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—tThe crop of many purposes. Ex- 
cellent for hay, ensilage, grain, and soil improve- 
ment. Ground soy beans are as 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.

BEST LAWN MIXTURE—Our se- 
lected lawn mixture is the very finest 
combination of high quality seeds. . . 
a marvelous mixture that years of ex- 
perimenting has proved to be safe and 
sound. It produces a lawn that is like a 
carpet of green velvet ... smooth, even, 
and thick. All the grasses in it are fine- 
bladed and deep-rooting. 
SHADE MIXTURE— Wherever shade 
makes it difficult to obtain a good lawn, 
our special shade mixture is heartily 
recommended. Excellent quality, shade- 
enduring grasses and clovers... blended 
into a mixture that will give surprising 
results. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Pro- 
duces a deep dark green lawn of close, 
thick turf. Roots are deep, and plants 
very hardy. 
WHITE CLOVER—Very desirable in 
lawn mixtures because of its rapid, low 
growth and creeping stems. Valuable as 
a green cover for poor ground. Very 
hardy. 
RYE GRASS—A rapid grower, valu- 
able in lawn mixtures demanding quick 
effect. Not long lasting. Does well on 
moist soils. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE—Widely used 
for putting greens, fairways and tees. 
Very hardy, produces thick, durable 
turf, even under unfavorable conditions. 
ROUGH STALKED MEADOW 
GRASS (Poa trivialis)—Fine for 
shady or moist places. Leaves flat and 
light green, very dwarf growing. Does 
best on medium soils. 
RED TOP—Stands wet weather and 
overflowing for even two or three weeks. 
Holds well during summer if cut often. 
BENT—Makes a thick, dense turf on 
heavy, sour soils. Unexcelled for fine 
lawns and putting greens. 
HOW TO HOLD MOISTURE 
IN YOUR LAWN 
The life and beauty of a lawn depend 
upon how much water it retains. As 
almost every lawn is different, the 
amount of water needed and the meas- 
ures taken to retain moisture will differ. 
For instance, a lawn that tops a rise in 
ground and is unshaded, will need con- 
siderably more attention than one in a 
hollow, or surrounded by trees. 
For the lawn which aissipates its mois- 
ture, there is no better remedy than an 
application or applications of peat moss. 
Peat moss is noted for its ability to re- 
tain moisture and keep the soil particles 
loose and friable. It can be used in two 
ways; either spaded into the soil to 
loosen and lighten it, or spread on the 
surface as a soft moisture-retentive. 
Apply peat moss to a depth of at least 
half an inch on the surface, depending 
upon conditions. A full inch may be 
spread in some cases, and where a very 
clay soil must be loosened, even more 
is desirable.
