ROHRER’S GRASS SEEDS ARE DEPENDABLE 


Fancy Timothy 

Rohrer’s Fancy Timothy | is 
The most valuable of all grasses. Our Fancy Timothy 
is guaranteed to be high m purity and germination. 
We know you will be pleased with this seed. A good 
stand is easily secured. It is used more extensively 
than any other of the Grasses or clovers. Grows rapidly 
and produces hay that commands the highest market 
price. Timothy seed is sown with clover and alsike 
and makes very good hay. It is also valuable in pasture 
mixtures. Timothy Seed is low in price compared with 
clovers, therefore extreme care should be taken to 
sow best seed obtainable; highest in purity and ger- 
mination. When sown alone sow 8 quarts per acre; 
if sown with clovers sow 3 to 4 quarts per acre. See 
Price-List. 
Alsike Clover 
Alsike Clover is increasing in popularity very rapidly. 
It makes the best combination with Red Clover and 
timothy, either for hay or pasture, and grows well on 
high as well as on low, wet soils. It is especially adapted 
to wet soils and also on soils that are too low in humus 
to grow Clover. When sown with other grasses it 
forms a thick bottom and greatly increases the yield, 
and the quality of the hay ts better. When well cured 
there is no hay more greatly relished by stock of all 
kinds. Mixed with Clover and timothy it affords one 
of the best forage rations, and the three are grown 
successfully together, the hay from such a mrxture 
being better than either of them alone. The seed 
is smaller than the red Clover, therefore does not 
require as much seed per acre. Alsike is hardier than 
Medium, or Mammoth Clover, but lodges more than 
either, and for this reason it is better to sow It with 
‘Clover and timothy. If sown alone, sow 8 to 10 pounds 
per acre. Alsike is a perennial, and because of this 
characteristic 1s especially valuable for growing on 
land where one wishes to secure a permanent pasture 
or meadow. See Price-List.

White Clover 
A perennial of creeping nature and used mostly in 
lawn mixtures, although it is a valuable addition to 
pasture mixtures, using 1 to 3 pounds per acre. Adapted 
to low meadows where not too wet. On lowlands 
suited to its growth it will last mdefinitely; although 
it may be crowded out by other grasses certain seasons, 
it will reappear the next. Invaluable in lawn mixture, 
giving a rich green to the lawn and holding its color 
with the grasses till after freezing. See Price-List. 
White Sweet Clover 
Resembles alfalfa, both in appearance and habit of 
growth when young but grows larger than alfalfa. 
When properly handled Sweet Clover is a valuable 
addition to the farm crops In many sections. It is 
efficient as a soil renovator, by reason of the large 
amount of nitrogen it will 
be able to take from the air, 
as well as humus added to 
the soil when turned under 
for the decay of the roots 
when it is harvested. No 
other forage or soiling crop 
has ever come into such 
favor as White Sweet Clover. If it had no other prop- 
erty than its ability to inoculate soil for alfalfa, rt would 
be a worthwhile investment, but in addition to this it 
is one of the best forage plants, possessing all the feeding 
qualities of alfalfa. As a soil-builder, ether for naturally 
poor soils or those that have been exhausted, no other 
plant can take its place. Analysis and feeding experi- 
ments indicate that it is nearly equal to alfalfa in feed- 
ing-value. There is nothing better to bring your worn- 
out land into farmable condition. To get full value out 
of your Sweet Clover, inoculate with Legume-Aid. See 
Price-List.

Timothy and Alsike 

This seed is grown and harvested together and is 
sold for less than you can buy the seed separately. Our 
seed is recleaned and runs 20 per cent Alsike. These 
two crops are well suited for growing together and will 
thrive on any land located anywhere within the clover 
belt, for although this crop reaches its highest state 
of perfection on moist, low land it can be grown any- 
where with good results and makes good hay. About 
12 to 16 pounds per acre is required. A trial of this 
mixture will add to your profits. See Price-List.
