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 making available much of the inert plant-food of the soil. 
Their long, powerful tap-roots penetrate to great depths, loosen the soil, 
rae air, and when decayed they add immensely to the fertility of the 
and. 
Alsike or Swedish (Trifolium hybridum). Very hardy perennial Clover, 
valuable for pasturage and soiling. Being very productive and flori- 
ferous, bees obtain a great deal of honey from the fragrant blossoms. 
When sown with other grasses and Clovers it will increase the yield of 
hay, as it forms a thick, bushy bottom growth. It is particularly adapted 
to lands that are unfavorable to other varieties. Weight, 60 lbs. per 
bushel. Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $30.00 
Bokhara or White Sweet (Melilotus alba). An excellent legume for 
plowing under as a green manure, especially on heavy soils. If cut young, 
before it becomes too coarse, it makes very satisfactory hay. Although 
not relished by livestock as much as Alfalfa, it will grow on soils much 
too poor for Alfalfa. A valuable crop for beekeepers. Weight, 60 lbs. 
per bushel. Lb. 15c., 100 lbs. $12.00 
Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum). Also known as Scarlet or Car- 
nation 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 
Ladino White. A mammoth White Clover from Pacific Northwest. 
hardy in New England. Valuable in any pasture or for permanent 
mowing. Seed slow to germinate. 
Lb. $1.00, 10-lb. lots and over, 90c. per lb. 
Mammoth Pea Vine (Trifolium pratense magnum). Of ranker growth 
than Medium Red but longer lasting. Excellent for plowing under to 
improve exhausted soils. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel, 
Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $30.00 
Medium Red (Trifolium pratense). This is the common Red Clover and 
by far the most important variety for the practical purposes of agricul- 
ture. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $30.00 
Permanent Wild White (New Zealand grown). Similar to Kentish 
English Clover. Hardy, persistent variety recommended for lawn and 
pasture mixtures. Dwarf habit, will stand extremely close cropping. 
Lb. $2.00, 10-lb. lots and over, $1.75 per lb. 
White Clover (Trifolium repens). One of the most important legumi- 
nous plants in America, adapted to a wide variety of soils. Its high 
nutritive value and its small bulk make it very desirable for cattle and 
sheep grazing. Being of a spreading nature due to its creeping root 
system, it is unsurpassed as a Clover for including in permanent lawn 
grass mixtures. Weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. 
V4 |b. 35c., lb. $1.25, 100 lbs. $100.00 
Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus 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. 
Lb. 15c., 100 Ibs. $12.00 
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 rel- 
ished 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.

New England soils. Highest purity and germination.

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. 
Qt. 25c., pk. $1.50, bus. $5.00 
Beauty Sweepstakes. The largest, broadest grain of any of the yellow 
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. Ot. 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. 
Qt. 15c., pk. 85c., bus. $3.00 
Improved Leaming. A Yellow Dent variety very valuable for ensilage, 
The plants are tall, with a large amount of foliage. Each stalk usually 
produces two good long ears with small red cobs, well filled with large, 
deep, golden kernels. Qt. 15c., pk. 85c., bus. $3.00
