Clover puts into the soil what other crops take out 
GRASS AND CLOVER SEEDS = | 
CLOVER | 
Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago sativa). A clover-like, leguminous plant of great im- 
portance as a hay and forage crop; also as a soil-enricher. Sow on rich, moist loam 
or sandy soil, having a deep, porous subsoil. Once established, it will produce three 
or four heavy crops in a season, making from three to six tons of hay per acre. Sow 
in spring or fall at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. Lb. 40 cts., 100 Ibs. $35. 
Alsike or Hybrid (Trifolium hvbridum). The most hardy of all Clovers. On rich, 
moist soil it yields an enormous quantity of hay or pasture, but its greatest value is 
for sowing with other Clovers and grasses, as it forms a thick bottom and greatly 
increases the yield of the crop. Cattle prefer it to any other forage. Sow in spring or 
fall, at the rate of 8 pounds per acre. Lb. 35 cts., 100 Ibs. $30. 


Mammoth Red (Trifolium pratense perenne). Also called ‘‘Cow Grass”’ or “‘Pea Vine 
Clover.’’ Grows quite distinct from the Common Red Clover, often making a stand 
when other Clovers fail. Valuable for reclaiming exhausted land by plowing under 
as a green manure. Sow about 12 pounds per acre. Lb. 40 cts., 100 Ibs. $35. 
Crimson or Scarlet (Trifolium incarnatum). The importance of this annual Clover 
is realized more and more every year, not only as a pasture green, forage and hay 
crop, but as a cover crop and soil-renovator. The yield in fodder is immense, and 
after being cut it commences growing again, continuing until severe freezing weather. 
Should not be planted until spring. Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre. Lb. 25 cts., 
100 Ibs. $20. 
White (Trifolium repens). A small, low-growing, perennial variety, with round, white, 
fragrant heads. The plants are perfectly hardy, stand close cutting, and produce an 
abundance of leaves and blossoms. Very desirable for beautifying the lawn, also for 
pasturage when sown with other grasses. It 1s adapted to all soils but thrives best ; ; 
In moist ground. Sow in spring at the rate of 8 pounds per acre. Lb. $1. Alfalfa or Lucerne Clover
