Nicholson's Graded Alfalfa 
Seed 
(Medicago Sativa) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Many successful Alfalfa growers make it a 
habit to run a harrow over their fields in criss- 
cross fashion after cutting. This helps to keep 
down the weeds and encourages a more rapid 
growth. This method -will not hurt the roots of 
your plants. Alfalfa can be cut at any time 
from start of bloom stage to the time the plants 
are in full bloom. 
Your soil should be clean and well prepared, 
but firm. Cover the seed about one inch deep 
with harrow. Firming the land by use of a 
roller after planting will help you to get a good 
stand, as well as a more uniform growth. 
The seed should be sown broadcast at the 
rate of 20 pounds to the acre in September, 
October and November. Can also be planted 
in February, March and April. 
Inoculate your seed before planting with 
NITRAGIN.

Alyce Clover 
(Alysicarpus Vaginalis) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “E” 
Classed as one of the finest Clovers ever to 
be introduced in the South. Alyce will grow on 
and improve poor soils, making it an excellent 
cover crop and soil builder. For hay crops, 
however, sandy loam will satisfy it best. (Alyce 
will not succeed on wet lands or heavy clays.) 
This drought-resistant Clover has no superior 
for summer and early fall grazing. If allowed 
to re-seed itself at proper.time, will become a 
permanent crop. Alyce produces a sweetly 
scented hay that is relished by all stock; it 
has tender stems and many small leaves, 
retentive of color and fragrance, all of which 
makes it an ideal cash crop. Sow in the spring 
at the rate of ten pounds per acre, broadcast 
and then lightly disc or harrow into the soil. 
Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Not postpaid, 10 
lbs., $2.75. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
BUR CLOVER 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Bur Clover is used extensively and does well 
mixed with other clovers and grasses for 
permanent pastures. It also thrives on a wide 
range of soils, including sandy loams and 
lime-clad soils. 
It is one of the finest crops for winter pastur- 
age, and being a legume, it also places nitro- 
gen in the soil while growing. 
Should you plant seed in the bur, it is wise 
to plant your burs earlier than you would 
hulled seed, as seeds in the bur are slower to 
germinate. If planted in this manner, it is best 
to mix 20 pounds or more with pulverized 
manure, on a basis of one pound of burs to a 
bushel of manure. Drop the mixture by hand 
not more than 30 inches apart each way. If you 
want to be doubly sure of a stand, you will do 
well to use larger quantities of the mixture. If 
the hulled seed is sown, use 20 pounds to the 
acre.

Bermuda sod, the two plants furnishing almost 
continuous crazing. In this case the seeds are 
either sown early without covering, or else the 
Bermuda sod is so plowed as not to desiroy 
the roof. Use ten pounds of seed in the bur or 
four to six pounds of the hulled seed per acre 
for planting on Bermuda sod.

Alsike or Swedish Clover 
(Trifolium Hybridum) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “'B” 
Alsike Clover is a perennial, often treated 
as a biennial, as many smooth stalks come 
from the crown. In many heads the blooms are 
all white, in others all pink; someimes partly 
pink and parily white. 
The leaves are larger than those of white 
clover and less heart-sha ed. The plans are 
semi-erect, growing tall enough for mowing. 
As a tule this plant maxes growth in both 
winter and summer, this being especially so 
on moist lands. When it is sown with grasses 
it forms a thick undergrowth and grea:ly in- 
creases the yield. 
When sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds to the 
acre. It is bes:, however, to sow with other 
crasses and clovers, using about one-quarter 
of he above amount. Plant in fall or spring. 
Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 99c, postpaid. Ask for prices
