ee ema 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. 
Grimm Alfalfa 
Productiveness and extreme hardiness have built a splendid repu- 
tation 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 leafier. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. 
(New) Atlantic Alfalfa 
This new, vigorous variety has been among the higher yielders 
wherever tested but especially in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
Adaptable to soils low in fertility. Highly resistant to leaf-spot; 
comparatively hardy. It is expected to reinstate Alfalfa as an im- 
portant crop in the East. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. 
(New) Buffalo Alfalfa 
This is an improvement on the old Kansas Common Alfalfa and 
is expected to supplant that variety. More winter-hardy and more 
resistant to bacterial wilt. It is about equal in yield to common 
varieties for the first two or three years, but its great value lies in 
the fact that its production is maintained several seasons after other 
varieties have dropped off sharply. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre.

CLOVERS 
: GENUINE PENNSYLVANIA RED CLOVER (MEDIUM). Our 
Pennsylvania Red Clover Pennsylvania Red Clover is grown mostly in Mifflin and spt bat 
counties. Supply is limited, and it will be to your advantage to 
place order early. This strain is important because of its vigorous 
growth and its resistance to severe winter conditions. Pennsylvania 
Red Clover has been recommended by the Department of Agri- 
culture as being superior to Clover from other sections. 
NORTHWESTERN-GROWN RED CLOVER (MEDIUM) is 
grown in Michigan, Idaho, northern part of I[linois, 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. alsike per acre. 
CUMBERLAND RED CLOVER. A new type Clover highly recom- 
mended by State Departments when local grown Red Clover can- 
not be had. This strain has shown a high degree of resistance to 
disease. Seed is available tn small quantities this year and the 
price is comparable to Northern-Grown. Sow 15 Ibs. 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 land. 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 lasts four to eight 
years. Does best where there is a constant but not heavy moisture 
supply tn 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 
os well with other pasture plants. ‘Sow 5 to 7 Ibs. per acre alone, or 
Liming of the soil is a necessary farm operation—and one of 1 to 2 Ibs. per acre when sown with hay mixtures. '
