CLOVERS 
(= On all items below, write for prices on larger quantities 
ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. (Medicago Sativa.) One can hardly estimate the value of Alfalfa where it succeeds, as the 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 11 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 
Ibs. Sow 30 to 40 Ibs. to the acre. Lb., 95e; 5 Ibs., $4.50; 10 Ibs., $8.50, postpaid. 
ALSIKE. (Trifolium Hybridum.) A very hardy variety and will withstand 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 too acid or moist for other clovers. Bu., 60 Ibs. Sow 12 Ibs. to the 
acre. Ib., 85c; 5 Ibs., $4.00; 10 Ibs., $7.50, postpaid. 
CRIMSON. (Trifolium Incarnatum.) This valuable annual variety grows from 11 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 Ibs. Sow 20 Ibs. to the acre. Lb., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00, postpaid. 
The wonderful pasture clover. A mammoth 
LADINO. strain of White Clover that grows twice as 
large as ordinary White Dutch Clover. It is a long lived 
perennial, with very deep tap root, and the stems run 
along on the ground taking root. It is excellent for graz- 
ing, and will also produce a large crop of palatable hay. 
Bu., 60 Ibs. Sow 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre. It makes an ideal 
pasture when sown with Orchard Grass. 10 or 12 Ibs. of 
Orchard Grass and 2 or 3 lbs. of Ladino Clover. Lb., $1.95; 
5 Ibs., $9.50; 10 Ibs., $18.50, postpaid.
