Clover puts into the soil what other crops take out 
CLOVER SEEDS 
Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago sativa). A clover-like, leguminous plant of great im- 
portance as a hay and forage crop; also as a soil-enricher. Sow on rich, moist 
loam or sandy soil, having a deep, porous subsoil. Once established, it will 
produce three or four heavy crops in a season, making from three to six tons of 
hay per acre. Sow in spring or fall at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. Lb. 45 cts., 
100 Ibs. $40. 
Alsike or Hybrid (Trifolium bybridum). The most hardy of all Clovers. On rich, 
moist soil it yields an enormous quantity of hay or pasture, but its greatest value 
is for sowing with other Clovers and grasses, as 1t forms a thick bottom and 
greatly increases the yield of the crop. Cattle prefer it to any other forage. 
Sow in spring or fall, at the rate of 8 pounds per acre. Lb. 40 cts., 100 Ibs. $35. 
Mammo h Red (Trifolium pratense perenne). Also called ‘““Cow Grass” or ‘‘Pea 
Vine Clover.”’ Grows quite distinct from the Common Red Clover, often making 
a stand when other Clovers fail. Valuable for reclaiming exhausted land when 
plowed under as a green manure. Sow about 12 pounds per acre. Lb. 43 cts., 
100 Ibs. $38. 
Crimson or Scarle* (Trifolium incarnatum). The importance of this annual Clover 
is realized more and more every year, not only as a pasture green, forage and 
hay crop, but as a cover crop and soil-renovator. The yield mn fodder is immense, 
and after being cut it commences growing again, continuing until severe freezing 
weather. Should not be planted until spring. Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
