ALFALFA 
NORTHWESTERN-GROWN ALFALFA. One of the most 
important crops grown on a farm. Once established, it lasts 
several years and yields three or four crops of nutritious hay 
every season. In feeding value, as a drought resister and soil 
builder, ‘nothing is better than Alfalfa. Northern-grown seed 
will stand winter weather well. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. 
KANSAS-GROWN ALFALFA. Has done very well in tests in 
Pennsylvania, where it has become very popular. It starts to 
grow early in the spring, and several cuttings are possible m a 
season. Rarely winter-kills. This type of seed is priced lower 
than Northwestern-grown. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. (Due to 
crop failure, we recommend the substitution of Northwestern- 
grown Alfalfa.) 
OKLAHOMA APPROVED ALFALFA. Recommended for 
southern part of Lancaster County, where it usually survives 
the winters. No great difference in yield has been noted be- 
tween Oklahoma and Kansas seed in the milder parts of the 
country, but Kansas-grown seed is hardier. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. 
per acre. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. Productiveness and extreme hardiness 
have built a splendid reputation for this variety. The roots 
are more spreading than ordinary Alfalfa, without a long tap- 
root, and it is therefore good for shallow soils. Stems and 
leaves somewhat finer and Ieafier. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. 
CLOVERS 
GENUINE PENNSYLVANIA RED CLOVER (MEDIUM). 
Red Clover verified by the Federal Government to be truly of 
Pennsylvania origin. Our supply is limited, and it will be to 
your advantage to place order early. The strain is important 
ecause of its vigorous growth and its resistance to severe 
winter conditions. Pennsylvania Red Clover has been recom: 
mended by the Department of Agriculture as being superior to 
Clover from other sections. 
NORTHWESTERN-GROWN RED CLOVER (MEDIUM) 
is grown in Michigan, Idaho, northern part of JJlinois, and 
Iowa. This type seed is adapted to Pennsylvania and will 
withstand severe winter conditions. We highly recommend 
this type, which has proved successful in the past years when 
Pennsylvania Red Clover could not be had due to short crop 
or crop failures. Sown in mixtures of alsike and alfalfa, or as a 
straight seed. Sown in early spring at the rate of 8 to 10 Ibs. 
per acre. In mixture, sow 3 Ibs. Red Clover, 2 Ibs. alfalfa, 
and 1 Ib. alstke per acre. 
CUMBERLAND RED CLOVER. A new type Clover highly 
recommended by State Departments when local grown Red 
Clover cannot be had. This strain has shown a high degree of 
resistance to disease. Seed is available in small quantities this 
year and the price is comparable to Northern-Grown. Sow 15 
Lbs. per acre. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. Does well where other Clovers fail, such as 
on acid, low, or wet soils. An excellent crop for hay or pasture, 
or as a soil improver. Bees like it, too. Sow with mixture of 
red clover and alfalfa at the rate of 1 to 2 Ibs. per acre. Sow 
alone, 10 Ibs. per acre. 
WHITE SWEET CLOVER. Widely favored as a forage and 
soiling crop. Nothing is better to rebuild exhausted Jand. 
Grows well on almost any soil except acid. One of the first 
forage crops to provide green feed in the spring. Sow 10 to 
15 Ibs. per acre. 
LADINO CLOVER. A giant white Clover that Iasts four to 
eight years. Does best where there is a constant but not heavy 
moisture supply in the soil surface. Used for both pasture and 
hay and is relished by all kinds of livestock. Produces a heavy 
tonnage of feed rich in protein. Spring growth is generally 
used for pasture, early summer growth for hay, and later 
growth for either. Combines well with other pasture plants. 
Sow 5 to 7 Ibs. per acre alone, or 1 to 2 Ibs. per acre when sown 
with hay mixtures.
