We list the most desirable varieties with some suggestions of their adapta- 
and use, particularly in Oregon. Pastures are well adapted to marginal areas 
conditions of soil and moisture do not permit intensive operations. Cover crops

( rimm Alfalfa. State Sealed and Certified Seed. A long lived perennial, leguminous 
forage plant with deep growing roots, extensively used for hay and pasture and some- 
times as a cover crop, especially on irrigated land. Grows from 1 to 4 feet high with 
small divided leaves and small purplish clover-like flowers. Sown in late April, or 
early May in a well prepared soil using 12 pounds per acre. Many of the finest fields 
‘to be found in Lane County are planted with our seeds. All certified seed is double 
“checked in addition to the state tests. We buy only by lot number and this seed is 
tested not only for germination but for purity as well. This assures you of the finest 
_ grade whether it be Blue Tag or Red Tag seed. 
CLOVER 
Crimson Clover. An erect annual legume 18 inches high with handsome elongated 
dark red flower heads. Used as a cover crop which is sown in late fall or early spring. 
Very good in orchards and small gardens under suitable conditions, because of its ease 
incorporation into the soil. Sow 15 pounds per acre. 
Ladino White Clover. Very large perennial form of clover, making a growth of 8 to 
12 inches. Can be grown on rather shallow land when well supplied with humus and 
moisture. With the rapid increase in irrigation in Western Oregon the acreage of Ladino 
Clover is practically doubling each year. Many dairymen report that irrigated pastures 
will support more cows at a less cost than is possible in any other way. Our seed is 
state certified and is of excellent quality. Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 
‘Subterranean Clover. A winter annual legume well adapted to pasture use. Sow early in 
the fall, September to mid-October, preferably with companion grasses. It associates 
well with Alta Fescue, Perennial Rye, and Orchard Grass. Sow 2 to 3 pounds per acre 
with approximately 18 pounds of companion grasses. Seed should be inoculated un- 
less previously grown in soil. 
‘Sweet Clover, Willamette Strain. A biennial white clover excellent for pasture and 
soil improvement. More drouth-resistant than alfalfa. Produces large crop of seed or 
pasture the second season. This special strain developed at Oregon State College, for 
resistance to stem rot, is much superior for Western Oregon and Washington. Prepare 
ground and inoculate as for alfalfa and seed the same time. 18 pounds per acre. 
ite Dutch Clover. Hardy creeping clover, which adapts itself to’a great variety of 
ils.and climates. Sometimes used for pasture for sheep, cattle, or bees. Largely used 
for lawns as Ladino is preferred for pasture.

Useful for hay or pasture grass with other grasses. 25 pounds per acre. 
Rye, English Perennial. A tufted rapid growing grass largely used in mixtures or for a 
ap quick grass for temporary coverage. Fall seeding is best as its rapid growth per- 
s it to get established before winter. Sow at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. 
hard Grass. A bunch type grass best used mixed with other grasses. Its value in a 
ture is increased because it grows early and late in the season. Thick planting im- 
ves its quality for hay. 25 pounds per acre.
