~ Birdsfoot Trefoil 
POOR LAND ALFALFA . 
A long lived deep rooted legume that grows on poor 
soils as well as fertile ones and on dry and wet land. 
This is a great crop for permanent pastures and has 
also given good results when grown in mixtures. Do not 
confuse this with ordinary yellow trefoil. Birdsfoot tre- 
foil has yellow flowers but is greatly superior in quality 
and many other factors. It forms its seeds by sending out 
five spreading pods that resemble a bird’s foot, and that 
is where it gets its name. It has deep tap roots with - 
branches. Plants grow 12 to 36 inches high. The stems are 
quite fine stemmed, looks very much like fine alfalfa. It 
is resistant against drouth, stands summer heat in the 
northern half of the United States very well State experi- 
ment stations are recommending Birdsfoot Trefoil very 
highly. : 
The crop stands a lot of tramping and close grazing. 
It is more drouth resistant than Ladino. It will grow on 
sandy and light gravel soils, as well as heavy clay land. 
It stands a moderate amount of alkali, and also stands 
fairly acid conditions, although it responds to lime in 
good fertility. Be sure to write for our Circular on Birds- 
foot Trefoil. Start it this fall at our special low prices.

The New Wonder Pasture Clover 
You no doubt have already read in farm papers about 
It is one of the finest 
pasture clovers yet discovered, Long lived, widely adapted 
and easy to start. Can be sown in the fall in all but perhaps 
the northern states. It grows two to four times as large as 
the common white clover. It is very high in protein and 
mineral content. Livestock are very fond of it and it is 
nutritious, high in feeding value. It will grow on wetter 
land than alfalfa and red clover, it also produces abundantly 
on upland soil, Pennsylvania reports Ladino clover produc- 
ing as much as 30 to 40 tons of green feed per acre as.a 
_poultry range. It runs as high as 30% protein on a dry basis. 
On a dry basis«the yield is calculated as 5.4 tons per acre. 
First this clover was grown in the northeastern states, now 
it is grown from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada 
south to Tennessee. It should also do well in still more south- 
ern states. Michigan uses it for hay, silage and pasture. 
Illinois station says it is adapted to all parts of the state. 
Kentucky says it makes a vigorous year round growth, pro- 
ducing pasture practically every month in the year. It only 
requires %4 to %4 pound of seed per acre with a normal 
seeding of timothy, brome grass, blue grass, orchard grass 
or red top or a combination of all. If sown alone, use 
around 1 pound per acre. Start it this fall and get full 
production next yea

ALTA FESCUE 
Considered by some the same as 
Kentucky 31 Fescue 
You may have read in the papers last spring about the Fescues 
that gave such wonderful results. The Country Gentleman had 
a special article about the Kentucky Fescue, that started in 
Kentucky, has given wonderful results and has now spread over 
quite a wide area. In Kentucky it stays green all winter, may not 
be hardy in the extreme northern states, 
Widely Adapted 
These Fescues grow on a wide range of soil, provide a good 
pasture, combine excellently with other legumes. It is a bunch 
grass, coarser than Blue Grass, light green in color, Seeds are a 
slittle larger than Orchard Grass, becomes established quickly. 
When seeded in late summer, it provides a fair coyer crop. The 
normal seeding is around 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. This crop will 
grow on very poor soil, has deep roots, yields well, and will 
stand considerable drouth. On the other hand it is adapted to 
heavy land, will tolerate poorly drained conditions. It survives on 
quite acid soil, and is tolerant to a moderate amount of alkali. 
Wonderful for erosion and gully control. Normally is a good seed 
producer, and there should be a good demand for seed for some- 
time. Missouri reports that in their test Kentucky 31 had been 
very similar to Alta in appearance and performance. This is also 
indicated in report from the Illinois station. Kentucky 31 Fescue 
is quite a bit higher in price than Alta Fescue. We are offering 
this seed as Alta Fescue, and we believe that it will perform 
practically identically to the more expensive Kentucky 31 stock.
