ometimes as a hay crop, sometimes for

WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET 
CLOVER 
_ (BIENNIAL MELILOTUS ALBA) 
Good for forage pasture and soil im- 
provement—will grow on almost any 
southern soil (even very sandy soils) that 
contain lime, thriving on land too poor to 
grow red clover or alfalfa. Resembles 
; Ifalfa when young but grows much 
4 ger, almost same rank in feeding 
value, both as hay and green foliage. 
Stock seldom relish it at first, but when 
forced to eat it, soon develop a decided 
preference for it. Cut it before it reaches 
| the blossom stage—too woody after that. 
| Has a deep-spreading, heavy root system 
making it a big nitrogen gatherer and 
} soil improver, provided it is inoculated. 
|} Pasture from time plants are six inches 
-high—the more stock you turn on it the 
better, for close grazing encourages its 
growth, and when tall becomes coarse 
and unpalatable. Being a biennial, will 
| disappear unless allowed to make seed 
| second fall. Inoculate seed with Nitragin. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
(BIENNIAL) 
_Alsike has about the same length of 
life as Red Clover and is less subject to 
disease. It requires less lime than Red 
Clover and is exceptionally adapted to 
moisture or wet soils. The hay is of 
‘superior quality and fits in well in all 
‘| pastures with Red Top, Orchard and 
ther grasses. It is very resistant to cold 
‘| weather, rarely winter killing. Alsike 
does well in shady places, something to 
be remembered.

BS CRIMSON CLOVER 
i (ANNUAL) 
This clover has come into its own in 
e last few years, tremendous increases 
n acreage have been made. Sow it in 
ugust, September and October. It grows 
‘| upright and reaches maturity the follow- 
‘ing spring, furnishes splendid cold weather 
‘| pasture and is a splendid soil builder. 
‘It is adaptable to a wide variety of soils. 
ime helps it but its lime requirement 
is low compared to Red Clover. Basic 

















fe containing Phosphoric Acid is a 
splendid help as it is to all pastures. 
Sow 12 to 18 lbs. per acre, cover the 
seed lightly. Moisture is also important 
in getting the seed up. Crimson is fine 
a mixture with Rye grass, Rye or 
It can be sown to advan- 
oP 
‘| other cereals. 
| tage on a bermuda sod—not over two 
inches high but we think sown on pre- 
pared land is the best method.

pero more vigorous, longer-lived. The

seeds are. produced in small black tightly 
coiled pods. It requires more lime than 
Hop Clover but less than Alfalfa. It 
thrives best on well drained soils and 
will grow all over the South. 
Sow it either in the spring or fall. 
It furnishes splendid late winter and early 
spring grazing, and reseeds under the 
closest grazing. Use Nitragin A inocula- 
tion. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre when 
sown alone. Combines well with pasture 
mixtures. 
EARLY GIANT SOUTHERN 
BURR CLOVER 
(ANNUAL) 
A new and distinct type of the South- 
ern Spotted Leaf Burr Clover, far supe- 
rior to the original, being 3 to 4 weeks 
earlier in growth, blooming and maturing 
of seed. Does best on sandy loam, and 
poorest on heavy black buckshot. Sow 
July, August, September, October, 30 to 
50 pounds of seed in the burr per acre, 
preferably in cotton middles. Can be 
pastured all winter and spring, or turned 
under in March. Will volunteer each fall 
for three years, then turn under again 
fourth year. One of the finest soil build- 
ers known. Ask for special Burr Clover 
circular. 
RED CLOVER 
(BIENNIAL) 
For general utility and in a crop rota- 
tion Red Clover is probably unsurpassed. 
It requires lime and if Basic Slag is 
applied will thrive on any well drained 
soil, reasonably fertile, containing lime, 
anywhere in the South. Yields 1 to 2 cut- 
tings of hay; feeding value next to 
Alfalfa. As a soil builder Red Clover is 
equal to any. Sow in March, April, Sep- 
tember and October. Prepare the seed 
bed thoroughly, discing and harrowing. 
Sow seed then roll in with a _ roller or 
cultipacker. Have the ground free of 
weeds, being a biennial, it must be al- 
lowed to make seed the second fall else 
it will disappear. Be sure to inoculate 
with Nitragin B; sown with wheelbarrow 
seeder gives excellent results, so does 
the grain drill and rotary hand seeder. 
Sow 6 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
ALYCE CLOVER 
A summer legume. Plant first of May 
through June on top of permanent pas- 
ture, etc., without soil preparation. It is 
an annual, reseeding abundantly in Oc- 
tober and returning every summer un- 
less destroyed by .summer cultivation. 
Heat and drouth resistant, fine pasturage, 
not injured by trampling. Hay cures 
quickly, very nutritious and palatable— 
stock eat it greedily; fine quail feed also. 
Prefers sandy loams, does well on most 
all others except extremely wet or heavy 
soils. Sow 6 to 10, lbs. per acre.

PURE SEED! 
LAPPACEA CLOVER 
A triple-purpose plant. Makes fine win- 
ter to early summer pasture. All live 
stock like it. Dairymen report increased 
milk flow when cows are allowed to 
graze it. Does not seem to bloat. Makes 
high quality legume hay—cut in early 
June just as blooming starts, Puts nitro- 
gen in the soil and _ this helps other 
pasture grasses to thrive. Plant 5 to 7 
pounds per acre on sod or cultivated 
land, spring or fall. Inoculate with Ni- 
tragin B. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
(PERENNIAL) 
Is one of the most palatable and nutri- 
tious of all pasture plants. It is well 
suited to most soils in the South. Does 
best on lime soils but grows with very 
little lime present. A very dry summer 
may cut down the stand greatly but will 
come back, unsurpassed in value in a 
wet season, splendid in connection with 
Bermuda and Lespedeza, does not cause 
bloating, high in protein, thrives under 
trampling, comes out early in the spring 
without interfering with other grasses. 
It is not adapted for hay, it is creeping 
in type, but should be in all pastures 
and excellent in lawns. 
(ANNUAL) 
This is probably the earliest clover out 
in the spring and lasts until mid-summer 
when Bermuda grass and lespedeza take 
up the job of furnishing pasturage. It 
has a ye'low flower appearing in late 
summer, but otherwise resembles lespe- 
deza in general appearance. It grows 
‘about 6 to 8 inches high and seems to 
thrive best of all on clays and loams that 
are not constantly wet, very valuable in 
all pastures, combines well with other 
crops. Sow 1 to 3 lbs. per acre in your 
pasture mixture. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
SWEET CLOVER 
(BIENNIAL MELILOTUS OFFICINALIS) 
The Yellow Blossom type is very simi- 
lar to that of the White Blossom. For 
those who wish to use sweet clover for 
pasture, hay and bee purposes, we would 
advise the use of the Yellow Blossom 
type.
