Mammoth Clover 
Mammoth Clover is coarser and grows more rank 
than medium red. It does better on heavier and less 
fertile soils. Mammoth Clover makes only one crop 
each year but is more perennial in nature and there- 
fore, generally lasts longer than medium red. 
Alsike 
Alsike does well on poorly drained land, and its 
lime requirements are not as high as those for red 
clover or alfalfa. Alsike produces fine stemmed hay of 
excellent quality. 
“Cheap” Alsike is generally contaminated with weed 
seeds that cannot be removed. G.L.F. seedsmen avoid 
such seed and buy only the highest quality Alsike. 
In a year when red clover is short or high in price, 
more Alsike can be used in the hay mixture to profit- 
able advantage. 
Ladino 
This new clover is rapidly gaining in popularity as 
a pasture plant on well-limed fields of high fertility 
where rotation grazing can be practiced. It is a heavy 
feeder and needs plenty of potash. It will not tolerate 
close grazing. 
Some farmers like Ladino as a perennial legume in 
hay mixtures when alfalfa is not adapted. A heavy 
stand of clear Ladino is difficult to cut for hay, and for 
that reason should not be sown too heavily. The sec- 
ond cutting of a hay mixture is best used for pasture. 
G.L.F. Ladino comes from the West Coast and 
produces excellent crops of hay and pasture. 
OE 
Timothy 
Timothy is the most widely used grass in G.L.F. 
territory. It serves an important place in hay produc- 
tion because of its wide adaptability. 
G.L.F. Timothy has long been a standard of com- 
parison for quality and cost. Because Timothy can 
contain noxious weeds, G.L.F. seed buyers are very 
careful to select only pure lots of. seed for G.L.F. 
_patrons. 
Smooth Brome Grass 
Brome Grass is rapidly gaining popularity as a re- 
placement for timothy with legumes. Brome is hardy, 
withstands hot, dry weather, yields heavily and re- 
mains palatable longer than timothy when cut late for 
hay. It makes an excellent pasture plant in combina- 
tion with legumes, but it is a heavy feeder and needs 
very fertile soil for best results. 
Brome Grass seeds are large, light and chaffy so 
that they will not feed through a grass seeder box. The 
seed may be sown mixed with the fertilizer or mixed 
with oats or barley, but it must be sown as shallow as 
possible and still be covered. 
Orchard Grass 
Orchard Grass is popular in pasture mixtures and 
is productive when closely grazed so that it does not 
get tall and tough. It does best in combination with 
Ladino clover and withstands dry summer weather 
very well. 
AGRICULTURE 

The No. 1 Feed—On most Northeastern farms more than half of the nutrients furnished dairy cows are grown on the farm in 
the form of hay. That’s why good adapted seed that will produce dependable hay crops is vital to the Northeastern farmer.
