CLOVERS

Alf If L (Medicago Sativa). One can hardly estimate the value of Alfalfa where it succeeds, as the 
alfa or Lucerne. yield per acre each season is generally four or five cuttings of about two tons each. The 
hay is remarkably palatable and the feeding value has been scientifically estimated to be worth nearly twice that of 
the very best Timothy. Droughts which would either destroy or quite stop the growth of ordinary plants have no 
effect upon Alfalfa, as its roots penetrate to astonishing depths in search of moisture, and the effect upon the land is 
highly beneficial. Alfalfa can be sown in either fall or spring. The cleaner the ground, the better the stand will 
be, as young Alfalfa is so slender and delicate that it is easily smothered by 
weeds. Sow on deep, well-drained, good loamy land. Alfalfa will not grow 
on acid soils, and to correct this condition, spread 1 to 1% tons of finely 
ground lime to the acre after plowing, and a few weeks before sowing. 
Cutting should be done always as blooming begins. Bu., 60 lbs. Sow 30 to 
40 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $4.00; 10 lbs., $7.50, postpaid. : 
Al ik (Trifolium Hybridum). A very hardy variety and will withstand 
SIKE. extremes of heat, drought and cold better than any other clover. 
Owing to its tendency of lying down on the ground and its somewhat bitter 
taste, it should always be sown in mixture with other clovers and grasses. 
Does well on soil which is ton acid or moist for other clovers. Bu., 60 Ibs. 
Sow 12 lbs. to the acre. Lb., 70; 5 lbs., $3.25; 10 lbs., $6.00, postpaid. 
C ° (Trifolium Incarnatum). This valuable annual variety grows 
rimson. from 1% to 3 feet high, and has long cone-shaped, dark red 
blossoms. The stem is smaller than that of Red Clover and is apt to fall 
‘over unless supported by Rye or some stronger plant. Sowing is begun during 
the last of July and continues until the last of October. Farther south it 
can be sown later. A common practice is to sow the seeds in furrows of 
corn and cotton fields at the time of the last cultivation. A mixture of Rye 
and Clover makes good winter pasture, Bu., 60 lbs. Sow 20 lbs, to the acre. 
Lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.00, postpaid. 
(Trifolium Pratense Perenne). Known also as Pea-Vine, 
Mammoth Red. Sapling Clover, and Cow Grass. It is a vigorous peren- 
nial, and grows from 4 to 6 feet high. The stalk is coarse when cured, and
