ALFALFA 
LILLY'S BEST COMMON ALFALFA— 
Only hardy, Northern seed grown in 
areas where winter temperatures 
reach 25 below zero is used in Lilly's 
Best Brand. Alfalfa fields last for 
years when sown with good seed of 
Northern origin. Use the very best 
available anywhere — "'Lilly’s Best’’ 
—the cream of Northern Seed Stock. 
GRIMM ALFALFA — Equal to Lilly's 
Best Common in hardiness and equal 
in hay yield, but in addition with- 
stands soil heaving and thawing be- 
cause of its spreading root system. 
Particularly good in areas where soil 
moisture is more plentiful. 
LADAK ALFALFA—A Grimm or va- 
riegated type of alfalfa. Very vigor- 
ous grower and very hardy. Particu- 
larly useful in areas where only two 
cuttings of alfalfa are feasible. The 
first two cuttings are normally equal 
to three of other types. 
RANGER ALFALFA — Another vari- 
egated type that is wilt resistant and 
as harev as any. The lack of loss of 
plants due to wilt damage will keep 
your stand thicker for a longer pe- 
riod. 
COSSACK ALFALFA — Similar to 
Grimm but thrives better on heavier 
soils. Exceptionally hardy strain 
brought from Siberia. Heavy yielder 
as well as being cold and drought 
resistant. 
CLOVER 
LADINO CLOVER—Out-provWuces all 
pasture clovers where moisture is 
plentiful. The use of this clever is 
growing by leaps and bounds. This 
is a pasture ‘‘must’’ where moisture 
is available or irrigation is used. 
Should be fed with grasses such as Rye- 
grass, Meadow Fescue or Alta Fescue as 
it has a tendency to bloat stock when fed 
alone. This clover should not be pastured 
too close in the fall as it needs some pro- 
ective growth to avoid frost injury during 
severe winters. 
LILLY'S BEST ALSIKE CLOVER—Prefers a 
cool climate and will withstand severe win- 
ters. Likes a rather heavy silt or clay soil 
with abundant moisture. It is not so sensi- 
tive to acidity in soils as Red Clover and 
can therefore be successfully grown on 
many wet and “sour” soils on which Red 
Clover will not succeed. Remains in its 
prime for cutting for a long time and is 
especially adapted to use in mixture with 
grasses such as Timothy, Redtop, Perennial 
Rye grass and Alta Fescue. 
LILLY'S BEST RED CLOVER—The most im- 
portant of all clovers. Adapted primarily 
to growing in rotation with other crops. 
Makes its best growth on rich well-drained 
soil containing an abundance of lime and 
reasonably free of weeds. Produces both 
hay and seed crop the same season. The 
normal life of the plant is two years, after 
which the stand deteriorates. 
SUBCLOVER—will produce big tonnages of 
fine clover forage on light, hill soils where 
other clovers give negligible results. Also 
does well on rich soils. 
KENLAND RED CLOVER — Better foliage, 
more disease resistant, more winter hardy 
and more drought resistant than the old 
common Red Clover. This is a better strain 
of clover for the progressive farmer. It 
grows under the same conditions as com- 
mon Red Clover. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL (Lotus Corniculatus) 
and BIG TREFOIL (Lotus Major)—These two 
legumes are becoming increasingly popu- 
lar. They both make fine hay and pasturage 
and are especially good in mixtures of 
grass. WILL NOT BLOAT.
