For those wanting Alfalfa 
Utah Alfalfa seed from farther north-west 
we have secured a lot of seed produced in Utah. We 
feel this is a good buy as it should resist freezing and 
thawing more than some kinds grown farther south 
and should not pull nearly as much. Utah produces 
excellent quality seed and this lot is premium grade.

Birdsfoot Trefoil an erect plant attain- 
ing the height of 12 to 30 inches. The stems are 
comparatively slender, branched, and are moderately 
leafy. The blossom is yellow and seed pods extend 
outward from the stalk in appearance of a bird’s foot, 
thus the name. There are two common kinds of Trefoil 
with the broad-leafed type being much superior. It is 
adapted over a wide area with best resuits being at- 
tained in the northern half of the United States. It 
has been found most satisfactory in Ohio. For solid 
seeding use 4 to 5 lbs. of seed. In sowing with a 
mixture of grasses where it seems to be most promis- 
ing in our area use from 1 to 3 Ibs. In all cases 


whenever possible a better stand of Trefoil can be
