LESPEDEZA, Korean is an annual legume, and under favor- 
able conditions will reseed itself. It is best adapted to thin 
or acid soils. 15 to 25 pounds usually sown per acre from 
February to April 15th. Sericea is-a perennial Lespedeza. 
Scarified seed can be sown at the rate of 4-to 5 pounds per 
acre in spring after danger of frost and as late as April 15th. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense). Too well known to need 
extended description. Best sown in the spring, and requires 
8 to 12 Ibs. per acre alone or 5 to 6 lbs. per acre if in mixture 
with grasses. 
MAMMOTH OR SAPLING CLOVER. Similar to Red Clover 
but of larger growth and blooms three weeks later, hence 
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 
same time. Blossoms flesh color. It is very hardy and will 
do well on thin or poorly drained soils, making very satisfac- 
tory pasturage. It is also valuable for hay. If sown alone 
requires 4 to 6 lbs, per acre or in mixture 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium incarnatum). An annual for 
turning under as a green manure crop or as a winter cover 
crop sown in July or August, also early spring at rate of 
15 to 20 lbs. per acre. It should be cut just before bloom 
stage for hay. 
LADINO CLOVER. A mammoth perennial type of White Clo- 
ver. Shallow but vigorous roots with large leaves on sturdy 
stems. Valuable for pasture on dairy farms, and is widely 
used for enriching a mixture of other grasses. Sow 3 to 
5 lbs. per acre. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. Long used in England in permanent 
pastures. More leaf and less blossoms than ordinary White 
Dutch Clover. Very hardy and highly recommended in pas- 
ture mixtures. Sow 1 to 2 lbs. per acre in mixtures. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFCIL. A low growing perennial legume for 
pastures. Starts slowly but has long season. Inoculated, it 
thrives on ground too poor for Alfalfa. It takes several years 
to establish. 
SMOCTH BROME GRASS. A tall perennial, does well on loose, 
diy soil. Used with Alfalfa to produce hay and pasture 
during hot, dry seasons. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
REED CANARY GRASS. An excellent hay crop for moist or 
opr swampy land. Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre with 2 lbs. Alsike to 
insure uniform stand. 
SWEET CLOVER. Valuable for use on poorer soils both as a 
crop and for improving the soil. 
Tall Growing Type. Planted in the spring makes good 
growth by fall and lasts 2 years. Will.reseed itself if left 
standing. 
Yellow Blossom Type. Is also biennial. Grows 2 to 3 feet 
the first year, 4 to 5 feet the second. Finer stems, better 
for hay and pasture. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre Hulled and Scarified Seed in fall 
or spring after frost danger. Sow 20 Ibs. per acre Unhulled 
Seed during the winter months or in the fall with Winter 
Wheat. 
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.
