ALFALFA 
Although out-planted in some sections and for some pur- 
poses by clovers, alfalfa still ranks first among the field 
crops of California, both in acreage and in money value. 
Every class of livestock responds to the wholesome food 
values of this crop, dairy cattle particularly keeping in sleek 
condition and giving abundant milk yields from alfalfa hay 
and pasturing. Where soil is good, water supply adequate, 
the season sufficiently long, and normal temperatures pre- 
vail, alfalfa is top crop. 
CHILIAN alfalfa is the variety almost entirely grown in 
California, producing heavily, and making a hay of highest 
quality. Rotated, irrigated pastures of alfalfa are the surest 
guarantee of a permanent livestock prosperity. 
LAGO Chilian alfalfa is CALIFORNIA GROWN, clean, 
plump and vital seed. Sow 20 pounds per acre. 
1 Ib. 55c, 10 Ibs. $4.50. 
BUR CLOVER 
Bur Clover is an annual clover but one which so readily 
re-seeds itself, that replanting is seldom needed yearly. 
This crop finds its chief claim to distinction as a catch cover 
crop, and is particularly valuable because of its widely 
spread, fibrous root system, which tends to hold soils to- 
gether in winter times, preventing leaching and erosion. 
The plants also branch profusely from the crown, often 
having as many as twenty branches, 6 to 30 inches long. 
Although dormant in winter in northern California, it fur- 
nishes excellent feed in most sections, and is ideal for a 
turn-under crop. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. 
1 Ib. 50c, 10 Ibs. $4.75. 
FENUGREEK 
A clover-like plant popular as a soil im- 
provement crop. Plant in fall months after 
truck crops. Hardy, and grows well 
through the winter. Seed 40 Ibs. per acre. 
1 Ib. 20c, 10 Ibs. $1.75. 
BURNETT 
Burnett is a perennial herb of great har- 
diness and prolific growing habit, yielding 
a heavy crop of green leaves highly pal- 
atable to stock, Burnett stays green the 
year around, and under favorable condi- 
tions reaches 2 feet. Sow 5 pounds per 
acre. 1 Ib. 85c, 10 Ibs. $8.00. 
LADINO CLOVER 
F. Lagomarsino & Sons were pioneers in the introduction 
of Ladino Clover in the central valleys of California. 
A native of Italy, this legume has proven itself an out- 
standing all-purpose cover crop for pastures. Of excep- 
tionally high protein content, and producing a heavy ton- 
nage of rich, succulent feed, highly relished by livestock. 
With its spreading root system, and dense growth of top, it 
competes successfully with weeds. With adequate irriga- 
tion, it will give a fine pasture for both sheep and dairy 
cattle. 
Ladino plants make a quick recovery after grazing or 
mowing, the growing season is long, and the growth is leafy 
and succulent rather than stemmy. Sow 5 pounds per acre. 
1 Ib. $2.00. 
MELILOTUS INDICA 
(Yellow Annual Mellilot or Sour Clover) 
An annual clover being more extensively used each year 
for cover crop purposes. Outstanding because of its high 
fertilizing value and the large tonnage of growth produced 
for incorporation into the soil. The well-defined tap root 
penetrates deep into the soil and the numerous lateral 
roots spread in all directions. As with all true legumes, the 
root system is covered with nodules containing nitrogen- 
fixing bacteria which draw the atmospheric nitrogen and 
convert it to a form available for succeeding crops. This 
crop, with bur clover, is becoming a favorite in the Southern 
States. Sow 20 pounds per acre.
