SUDAN GRASS No. 23 
Our Lago Brand new strain of Sudan Grass is a definite improvement over the old Sudan, being 25% 
more prolific in tiller and leaves. This new strain needs very little water, is thus ideal for dry farming, 
and produces well even in clayey or sandy soils. Animals thrive on this new strain, and tests show they 
gain weight, energy, and dairy animals produce milk more abundantly. For quick summer pasture, Lago 
Brand “Green Country” new strain Sudan is unexcelled. Sow 20 pounds to the acre. Per Ib. 35c, 10 



Ibs. $3.00, 25 Ibs. $5.00. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER 
Adapted to Conditions Adverse for All Other Clovers 
One of our newer clovers, widely used due to its ability to grow under conditions adverse or entirely unsuitable for 
any other variety of clover. 
This clover will grow on seeped, saline or alkaline soils which are considered as waste lands. Tests have shown that 
it will make a good growth in association with salt grass, etc. Its growth is by no means limited to such areas, 
as it thrives on low, moist, non-salty soils as well. 
Strawberry Clover makes its best growth in very wet or moist soils, thereby being valuable for poorly drained areas, 
or where there is flooding. Tests have shown it has the ability to withstand flooding from one to two months. 
Strawberry Clover is able to thrive under great extremes of temperatures ranging from 40 degrees below zero to 
high summer temperatures. 
Stands when once established have been known to last for 30 years or more. 
All types of animals and poultry have grazed Strawberry Clover with good results. Its use is mainly limited to 
pasturage, as it seldom grows high enough to harvest for hay. Feeding tests have determined it is as rich in ani- 
mal feed units as many of the different types of White Clover. 
While rotational grazing naturally favors higher production, it has been grazed continously from early spring until 
late fall without affecting the stand. 
The blossoms are visited by honey bees in large numbers, indicating this clover is a good honey plant as well. 
The main plant characteristics of this perennial clover are a very low spreading type growth of creeping stems 
which root at the nodes. Flower heads are round, being pink and white in color. This clover deserves more wide- 

spread testing in our own section of the state. Seed 5 pounds per acre. 1 Ib. $2.00, 10 Ibs. $18.75. 
BUR CLOVER 
Bur Clover (Medicago hispida denticulata) is an annual clover increasing in 
prominence and easy adaptability. 
First, it proves very useful as a catch or cover crop. The plants branch profusely 
from the crown, forming from 10 to 20 spreading or decumbent branches 
from 6 to 30 inches long. The roots are extremely fibrous and spread widely 
in the soil. Hence, washing and leaching of the soil are prevented during the 
winter months, and the soil is enriched with valuable nitrogenous materials 
if the crop is later turned under. Decays rapidly when turned under, very 
shortly becoming incorporated into the soil, an important feature to consider 
of any cover or green manure crop. 
Second, as a pasture crop it is excellent for hogs, sheep, and cattle. Sown 
either alone or for permanent pastures in combination with perennial grasses 

and other clovers. Insures abundant winter feed during the time many species 
are dormant. Very desirable results are obtained in seeding ranges during the 
fall with Bur Clover. Though an annual in growth, it reseeds itself readily each 
year, covering the ground during the winter months. 
Third,while preferring a moist well-drained soil for its maximum development, 
it thrives even on poorly drained soils. The only two prerequisites necessary 
YELLOW CLOVER 

SUDAN GRASS 
for its success are fairly mild winter conditions, as experienced in our interior 
valley and foothill areas, and sufficient moisture provided by winter rains. 
1 Ib, 65c, 10 Ibs. $5.25, 20 Ibs. $10.00. Sow 20 Ibs. per acre. 
BUR CLOVER USEFUL FOR FALL SOWING ON RANGES 
For ranges, Bur clover makes an excellent winter and spring growth for feed 
purposes. On ranges where grasses have become sparse due to heavy grazing, or 
more especially on burnt-over areas, Bur clover will easily turn such sections 
again into profitable range lands. In the case of burnt-over areas, sow seed 
right in the ashes which makes for an excellent seed bed. 
Sowing should be made as early as possible in the fall to insure the full benefit 
of fall rains permitting the clover to establish an early growth. On ranges which 
are being grazed, permit animals to continue feeding after seed has been 
sown, as this practice helps to trample seed into the ground, thereby inducing 
quicker germination of the seed. 
A light sowing of 5 to 8 pounds per acre proves most satisfactory. On ranges 
covered with heavy vegetation, or growth, the sowing of Bur clover has not 
proven too successful and is therefore not recommended. 
MELILOTUS INDICA 
(Yellow Annual Clover ) 
Another annual clover, 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. The root system is covered with nitrogen fixing bacterial nodules which utilize atmos- 
pheric nitrogen, and place this in a form usable by succeeding crops. Succeeds on most any type 
soil, even on wet or poorly drained soils, making a vigorous growth during the winter. Orchardists 
use it extensively as a cover crop in peach, walnut, citrus, etc., orchards. Equally as good for any 
open type land. For best results, plough under when in full bloom. Sow 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre. 
Melilotus Indica Develops Luxuriant Tonnage of Growth for Cover or Green 
Manure Crops 
Per Ib. 35c, 10 Ibs. $1.75, 20 Ibs. $2.50, 100 Ibs. $5.00 
NOTE: We pay transportation on seed orders up to 25 pounds. Larger quantities are priced f.o.b. Sacramento.
