ALFALFA, CLOVER 
AND GRASSES 
ALFALFA. Ranger. The Best Alfalfa Obtainable. 
Wilt-resistant, very hardy and long-lasting, Ranger is the alfalfa to 
plant for all seedings. It yields well right from the start and is so 
persistent that it continues to produce heavily long after ordinary 
kinds have been killed out by wilt. High germinating, excellent for soil 
improvement, this fine new variety is sweeping the country and giving 
outstanding results wherever used. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre, alone 
or in mixtures. Excellent with brome grass for hay. 
Certified Seed. Lb. $1.15; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $15.00 prepaid. 
Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $55.20; 100 Lbs. $92.00. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. 
Succeeds on land that has a tendency to be wet, and lasts for many 
years. A vigorous upright grower, it makes fine hay and also good 
pasturage. Sow 6 to 10 lbs. per acre alone, or 2 to 4 lbs. in mixtures. Use 
Nitragin A-B. Lb. 80c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $11.25 prepaid. 
Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $37.20; 100 Lbs. $62.00. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. Empire. N. Y. Certified. The Best Type. 
Empire is the best hay-pasture variety, ideal where alfalfa does not 
do well and extremely persistent and long-lived under ordinary grazing 
management. It is a vigorous, deep-rooted hardy legume, late-blooming 
and makes hay of excellent quality. Very productive with high feeding 
value. Slow starter but lasts almost indefinitely. 
Sow in spring on a well-prepared, firm seed bed, using 5 lbs. of 
trefoil with 6 lbs. of timothy or brome grass per acre. 
Nitragin inoculant included free. 144 Lb. $1.20; Lb. $2.00; 5 Lbs. or more 
at $1.90 per lb. postpaid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at $1.75 per lb. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. European Broadleaf (Imported Seed). 
This larger growing type of trefoil is recommended in place of red clover 
for meadows that are to be left down more than two harvest years, as it 
will last four years or more. Quicker growing and more erect than 
Empire, it blooms earlier and comes back faster after cutting. 
Lb. $1.10; 5 Lbs. or more at $1.00 per lb. postpaid. 
Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 90c per lb. 
LADINO CLOVER. 
This giant white clover is being more widely used every year. It is 
vigorous and tall-growing with large leaves and spreads rapidly by 
fleshy stems that run along the ground and take root. A most valuable 
ingredient in pasture mixtures, as it makes a very dense growth, and 
also excellent in mixtures intended for hay, silage or Aftermath grazing. 
For poultry pasture, Ladino and Kentucky Blue grass are ideal. 
Also used for cover crops. Sow only 1 or 2 lbs. per acre. 
4 Lb. 65c; 4% Lb. $1.10; Lb. $1.90; 5 Lbs. or more at 
$1.80 per lb. postpaid. Not paid: 25 lbs. or more at $1.65 per Ib. 
KENLAND RED CLOVER. (New). Certified Seed. 
This superior new strain has proved one of the best yielding red clovers 
in widespread tests and is highly recommended for growers who want 
the best. Well adapted in this area, it is a short-lived perennial highly 
productive for the first two years. (For meadows to be left down more 
than two years, see Birdsfoot Trefoil). Lb. 85c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) 
$11.50 prepaid. Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $38.40; 100 Lbs. $64.00. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. Northern grown seed, widely adapted and ex- 
cellent for hay and pasturage. Sow on wheat or with spring grain, 
8 to 12 lbs. alone or 4 to 6 lbs. in mixtures. Use Nitragin A-B. 
Lb. 75c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $9.25 prepaid. 
Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $31.80; 100 Lbs. $53.00. 
SWEET CLOVER. 
Makes an immense rapid growth and is ideal for green manure, also 
useful for temporary grazing and for hay. It will grow on rough land 
where alfalfa would not do well. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. Use Nitragin A-B. 
Lb. 45c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $4.80 prepaid. 
Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $13.20; 100 Lbs. $22.00. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. True Kent Type. 
Ideal for permanent pastures where close grazing will be practiced. 
A low-growing, tenacious and hardy perennial, it forms a thick sward 
and covers the ground quickly. It helps the grasses by adding nitrogen 
to the soil and is relished by cattle. Also excellent for lawns. (See page 
3.) 1 or 2 lbs. per acre is sufficient. Ours is the true low-growing 
English type. 
Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 65c; 4% Lb. $1.10; Lb. $1.90; 5 Lbs. or more at $1.80 
per Lb. postpaid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at $1.65 per lb. 
Emote Birdsfoot Trefoil 
BROME GRASS. 
This highly reeommended grass is a creeping, long-lasting sod type that 
is sweeter, more palatable and nutritious than timothy and remains in 
good condition later in the summer. On good fertile land it is ideal 
with alfalfa, making excellent hay and good for aftermath grazing. 
Somewhat slow to become established, it should be seeded separately 
and planted shallow but covered, or it can be sowed with oats or wheat. 
Use 8 lbs. per acre with 8 lbs. of alfalfa. 
5 Lbs. $2.50; 10 Lbs. $4.80 prepaid. 
Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 38c per Lb. 
ORCHARD GRASS. For Pasture and Silage. 
Many new uses are being found for this persistent, leafy, quick-growing 
grass. In combination with Ladino clover, it yields enormous crops 
of high-quality silage early in the season. It then recovers rapidly and 
makes excellent summer pasturage. In the spring, it is one of the first 
to start growth and should be grazed before the seed heads form. 
Easy to establish, long-lived and tolerant of adverse conditions. For 
best results, sow 8 lbs. with 1 lb. of Ladino per acre in early spring, 
with or without a nurse crop. 5 Lbs. $2.75; 10 Lbs. $5.20 postpaid. 
Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 42c per Lb. 
TIMOTHY. 
Valuable, quick-growing grass for hay and pasture. It thrives on 
moist loam soils and yields good crops even on poorer land. Sow 6 lbs. 
per acre in mixtures with clover, alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil, etc. Timothy 
responds well to applications of nitrate in early spring. Our seed is 
very high in purity and germination. 
5 Lbs. $1.75; Pk. (1114 Lbs.) $3.35 prepaid. Not paid: Bu. (45 Lbs.) 
$8.80; 100 Lbs. $19.00; Sack of 3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) $25.65. 
TIMOTHY and ALSIKE MIXTURE. (20% Alsike.) 
An excellent mixture, producing hay of a high protein content, well 
adapted on many soils. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre in the spring, or with 
wheat in the fall. 
5 Lbs. $2.15; Pk. (1114 Lbs.) $4.25 postpaid. Not paid: Bu. (45 Lbs.) 
$13.00; 100 Lbs. $28.50; Sack of 3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) $38.50. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS. For Winter Cover. ‘ 
One of the most useful grasses for green manure and for late fall and 
early spring pasture. Sow broadcast in midsummer or early fall, 
alone or right on crops of corn, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. Makes a dense 
growth, prevents leaching and erosion, adds humus. See page 78. 
1 Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 5 Lbs. $1.50; 10 Lbs. $2.80 postpaid.

Cornell recommends this popular formula for fertile, limed soil with 
fair drainage. Produces the highest yielding pasture and excellent for 
hay or silage. Contains Alfalfa, Medium Red Clover, Ladino and 
Timothy. The alfalfa will give the best yields where the soil is right 
for it, and if it goes out in the wetter areas, the Ladino should persist. 
Soil should be well-limed and fertilized. Sow alone or with grain, 
15 lbs. per acre. 10 Lbs. $7.00 postpaid. 
Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 60c per Lb.
