THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED CO. -:- DENVER, COLO. 51 
Clovers 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER—Grows well on 
low, wet land where Red Clover does not thrive. 
Alsike being a perennial, will last for a good many 
years, either for hay or in pasture. It makes fine 
hay of high feeding value.’ It is very valuable in 
pastures, especially On wet or heavy soil. Sow 6 
to 10 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. 
Postpaid (1b. 60c) (5 Ibs, $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.00). 
LESPEDEZA (Korean Clover)—Korean Lespedeza is 
an annual Legume with very fine stems. In gen- 
eral appearance it resembles Alfalfa. It grows 
about 15 inches high. Where the stand is scattered 
the plants branch profusely. Where the stand is 
thick the plants have an upright growth like Red 
Clover or Alfalfa. Lespedeza grows on poor soils 
and increases the fertility as well as improves the 
physical condition of the soil. It is an annual but 
will reseed itself each year so that only one sowing 
is necessary for a permanent pasture. For pasture 
about 8 pounds of seed is required per acre. On 
tilled land for hay or for a seed crop 10 to 12 
pounds per acre should be sown. Korean Les- 
pedeza is palatable to all classes of live stock, par- 
ticularly cattle. It will stand close grazing by 
cattle and still set enough seed to maintain a stand. 
Postpaid (lb. 35e) (5 Ibs. $1.50) (10 Ibs. $2.50). 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER—Fits better into crop rota- 
tion than any other legume. It wi'l increase the 
yield of succeeding crops besides furnishing many 
tons of hay of high protein content. It is a bi- 
ennial which means that it will grow for two sea- 
sons only and then must be reseeded. Requires 
medium rich well drained soil. Sow 8 to 12 lbs. 
per acre. 
Postpaid (Ib. 45c) (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50). 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER—Resembles Medium Red 
Clover but grows taller and the hay is coarser. It 
is hardy and valuable for fertilizing poor soil. 
Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Postpaid (Ib. 50c) (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER (Trifolium. Fragiferum)— 
Is primarily a pasture crop. It thrives on wet, 
seepy ground, which may be crusty with alkali and 
is apparently more resistant to alkali than any 
other clover. It is capable of spreading and es- 
tablishing itself by its stout. creeping runners. 
Three to five pounds will seed an acre. A firm 
seed bed is essential and moisture is necessary 
near the surface of the soil to insure germination 
of the seed and establishment of the small plants. 
Circular free on request. 
Postpaid (Ib. 75ec) (5 Ibs. $3.50) (10 Ibs. $6.50). 
Grass Seeds 
For Hay and Pasture 
BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermis)—Yields enormous 
crops of splendid hay, and affords early and 
abundant pasture. It adapts itself to almost any 
condition of soil and climate and to any use to 
which grass may be put. The roots penetrate the 
soil deeply and form fresh plants on every side. 
It starts from two to three weeks earlier in the 
spring than native prairie grass, and keeps green 
in autumn longer than any of the useful grasses 
grown in the West. No amount of cold seems to 
affect it, and it surpasses all other grasses in 
resisting heat and drought. It equals timothy for 
hay, and is splendid to sow with alfalfa, clover, 
meadow fescue or orchard grass for pasture. 
Postpaid (Ib. 45c) (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50). 
MOUNTAIN BROME (Bromus Marginatus)—Is a 
stout perennial bunch grass, with a wide range 
of soil adaptation, varying from moist loamy soils, 
to dry, gravelly soils. When young can be grazed 
closely by all classes of livestock. It also makes 
fine feed for horses and cattle when cut for hay. 
Postpaid (Ib. 50c) (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00)., 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Standard or Forage 
Strain)—It is a drought resistant, long-lived grass. 
It is equal or better, in feed value for hay or 
pasture to Brome Grass, Slender Wheat Grass, 
Western Wheat Grass and is relished by live- 
stock and yields as well or better. It is adapted to 
a wide range of soil types. It is easily plowed 
up and can be killed by plowing, even though it 
has an extensive root system. Should be sown 
on a well prepared soil, which contains a suffi- 
cient amount of moisture to give the crop a good 
Start. The seed should be put in not over a half 
inch deep either with or without a nurse crop. 
Best: without a nurse crop. Sow seed at the rate 
of 10 lbs. per acre, either broadcasted or drilled in 
or from 4 to 5 pounds per acre when planted in 
3-foot rows, to be cultivated and raised primarily 
for a seed crop.

and can be used in lawns, fairways, boulevards, 
school yards, parks, farm lawns and in areas 
where water is not readily available.
