Alfalfa. We have never known a failure in Michigan of true Grimm.

° A perennial and the most hardy of all 
Alsike Clover ¢1..2°%' It prefers damp, loamy soil. It is 
extremely leafy, making hay of a fine texture. Does not 
readily winter-kill, and is valuable to sow with other 
Clovers and grasses, as it increases the yield of hay. It is 
the best Clover for moist soil. Sow either in spring or 
fall, about six pounds per acre, when sown alone. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover Once considered a noxious 
weed; now nearly equal 
in value to alfalfa. White Sweet Clover is a biennial, and 
does not last so long as its cousin, alfalfa, but it has a great 
mission. In pasture it will produce a greater flow of milk 
than even alfalfa, and as much feed. Cattle are less liable 
to bloat. Stock soon learn to like the hay, and even prefer 
it to alfalfa. Write for prices.
