RE-CLEANED CLOVERS 
Clovers weigh 60 pounds per bushel 
Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago sativa). 
Northwestern-grown seed. Sow dur- 
ing April and May, August and 
September, 25 pounds per acre, pref- 
erably with no other crop. 
Alfalfa, Grimm. An extremely hardy 
variety, less apt to winter-kill than 
older sorts. A heavy yielder and 
of deep-rooting habit. It requires 
about 15 to 20 pounds to properly 
seed an acre. 
Alsike, or Swedish Clover (Trifolium 
hybridum). One of the hardiest and 
most tolerant of adverse soil con- 
ditions. Grows from 1 to 2 feet 
high. Sow early in the spring or 
early autumn, mixed with timothy, 
or 10 pounds per acre if alone. 
Crimson Clover (Trifolium incar- 
natum). Used principally for soil- 
ing or green manuring. It is not 
hardy for more than one season 
Height 1 to 2 feet. Sow any time 
from June to October, 20 pounds 
to the acre. 
Mammoth, or Sapling Red Clover 
(Trifolium pratense perenne). This 
differs from the Medium, being of 
a ranker growth. Sow early in 
spring or in July and August using 
6 pounds per acre. 
Medium Red Clover (Trifolium pra- 
tense). Excellent for hay purposes, 
usually yielding two crops each 
year. Sow early in the spring or 
in late summer—July and August. 
6 pounds per acre. 
Lespedeza Sericea—Perennial. 
Adapted to any type of soil, won- 
derfully resistant to drought, large 
yielding hay crops, good pasture, 
and a fine soil improver. Like al- 
falfa, it requires one year to get 
set, but after the first year it will 
produce two to four tons of field 
cured hay per acre annually. Actual 
feeding trials have proved that 
Lespedeza Sericea hay is equal to 
that of alfalfa. Hulled seed sow 
20 pounds per acre. Lb. 45c; 10 
lbs. $4.00. 
Lespedeza. Japan Clover. A substi- 
tute for alfalfa on poor land. Sow 
in spring, after frost, at the rate 
of 25 to 35 pounds per acre. Weighs 
25 pounds per bushel. Lb. 20c. 
White Blossom Sweet or Bokhara 
Clover (Melilotus alba). Used either 
as a feed-crop or aS green manure, 
to plow under. Grows from 3 to 5 
feet high and thrives on almost any 
kind of soil. Sow 15 pounds per 
acre during spring and fall. 
Landino Clover. The Wonder Pasture 
Clover. It is known as the giant 
white clover—a perennial lasting 
from four to eight years. It is not 
a particularly deep rooted plant, 
making its best growth where there 
is a fairly constant, but not exces- 
sive moisture supply in the sur- 
face and subsurface soil. As is the 
case with all clovers, largest 
growth is obtained on fertile and 
deep soils that are well supplied 
with lime, phosphate, humus and 
moisture. Seed 3 to 4 pounds per 
acre. Lb. $2.75; 10 lbs. $27.00, 
White Dutch Clover (Trifolium re- 
pens). For Lawns and Pasture.

$1.25 per 1lb.; 5 Ibs. $6.00. 

VETCH, WINTER 
Sand, Winter, or Hairy Vetch (Vicia 
villosa). Thrives on poor arid, sandy 
soils. It may be sown either in fall 
or in spring, mixed with rye, for 
a support. Grows 3 to 4 feet high 
and can be cut as soon as the bloom 
appears and again for the seed. 
Perfectly hardy. Sow 50 pounds to 
the acre.

(Dactylis glomerata). For early 
pasturing this is very desirable; also 
fine for sowing in shaded places. Lb. 
35c; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This can be pastured 
8 weeks after sowing. It must be 
sown in succession, as the stock 
eats it close to the ground and it 
will not stand pasturing any great 
length of time. Sow 6 pounds per 
acre broadcast, from April 1 to 
October 1. Lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.25 
Seed Rye and Wheat Prices on 
application.

year. Will yield from 2 to 4 tons per 
acre. Sow in drills, or broadcast, 16 
to 24 pounds per acre. Several cut- 
tings can be made from a sowing in 
one season. Thrives well in a season
