8 to 12 lbs. per acre alone or 5 to 6 lbs. per acre if in mixture

more valuable for sowing with Timothy. It also forms 
better aftermath than Red Clover. Requires same quantity 
of seed as Red Clover per acre. 
ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium hybridum). One of the best 
Clovers for sowing with Timothy, as they mature at the

tures. Starts slowly but lasts longer through the season.

dry soil. Used with Alfalfa to produce hay and pasture 
during hot, dry seasons. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.

ALFALFA. Every farm should have a field of this crop. It has 
a higher feeding value than any other hay. Alfalfa can be 
_sown in many different mixtures. It is sown alone at the 
rate of 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. Write us about rate of seeding, 
and other recommendations. In addition to spring seeding, 
when sown alone, it can be sown successfully in July and 
August in various special mixtures. 
Alfalfa should be sown on a well-prepared seed bed. Ade- 
quate liming is necessary, and proper amount should be 
determined by a soil test. It is also very important that 
seed be inoculated. 
Common Alfalfa. Has a purple bloom and tends to develop 
a single deep tap root system. It is generally found to 
produce more hay than the Grimm type, except when win- 
ter killing takes place. 
Grimm Alfalfa. Has a variegated bloom and is characterized 
by a tendency toward a multiple root system. For this 
reason it is understood to be hardier than the Common 
type.
