ALFALFA 
ALFALFA. Unsurpassed tame hay crop. Puts nitrogen 
in the soil, especially if inoculated. Some say Alfalfa tea 
helps arthritis. Now the main source of supply for chloro- 
phyll. What a plant. But we don’t recommend that it be 
planted with grass in pastures, because of the danger of 
bloating live stock. 
The best seed is always the cheapest in the long run. 
You can always rely on our “Sunflower Brand” shipped 
out of Lawrence and our “Columbine Brand” shipped out 
of Denver. They’re tops. Your dealer can get them for you. 
Sow the variety or type that is best suited to your 
own local conditions but be sure the seed is free of Dod- 
der, Russian Thistle and other noxious weed seeds. 
CLOV 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba.) <A 
biennial, grows to a height of from 4 to 6 feet, vigorous 
grower, extremely hardy and produces abundant pasturage 
and lots of hay. This is the standard Sweet Clover of the 
country. 
BIENNIAL YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus 
officinalis.) This is also a biennial, about two weeks earlier 
that the white, but not quite as tall. Do not confuse this with 
the annual Yellow Blossom which is of very little value. 
HUBAM CLOVER. Annual White Blossom that produces an 
abundance of hay or green manure the first year. 
MADRID SWEET CLOVER. An improved variety of biennial 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. Produces heavier yields and 
more valuable hay than Common Yellow Blossom. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
A plant similar to clover and the best of the Lespedeza 
types. It has an advantage over alfalfa and sweet clover, 
in that it will grow on untreated soil, no lime or phos- 
phate being needed. Korean Lespedeza can be grazed all 
spring and summer and hay can be cut or seed- taken 
from the crop in the fall. Agriculturists state their “be- 
lief’ that this Lespedeza is the “coming legume.’ 
10 to 15 lbs. hulled seed per acre. 
Sow 
KANSAS COMMON ALFALFA. In buying Alfalfa seed be 
sure that you get seed which is adapted to your climatic con- 
dition. We recommend Kansas Grown seed for the Middle 
West with Oklahoma Seed and Utah Seed for second choice. 
Our best grade of Alfalfa Seed are Kansas grown and Okla- 
homa grown. 
COLORADO COMMON ALFALFA. Grown in Colorado and 
adapted to Colorado climate. We suggest this as first choice 
for seeding in Colorado. 
CERTIFIED BUFFALO ALFALFA. Recommended very highly 
for the Middle West. 
Buffalo and Ranger are new wilt-resistant varieties. We 
also have Turkestan, Grimm, Meeker Baltic, Ladak, Ar- 
gentine, Nebraska, Hardistan and Nomad, the dry land, 
spreading types. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratensis.) Be careful to select seed 
which does not contain Buckthorn. You can depend on our 
Sunflower and Columbine brands of Red Clover. 
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium Repens.) A hardy perennial, ex- 
cellent for mixing with Kentucky Blue Grass for lawns and 
pasture. i 
ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium: Hybridum.) 
for growing on wet or swampy land. 
Especially valuable 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER. A clover that is becoming very 
popular for use on alkali ground. It makes excellent pasture 
for live stock and will thrive, when once established, in very 
wet ground. It will even grow right under water. Five or six 
pounds will seed an acre. 
LADINO CLOVER 
This is a perennial that is presumed to be a large form 
of White Dutch Clover. It is a low growing leafy plant 
with succulent and somewhat coarse stems that have a 
tendency to remain rather close to the ground. Under 
proper moisture conditions these stems will take root 
at the nodes, or joints, and in this manner thicken up 
the existing stand. It is splendid for pasture and makes 
a good hay crop but is not suitable for lawns. Sow 2 to 
4 lbs: per acre. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. Used in pastures. A little slow to get established, but will 
not bloat live stock, Well recommended because of this.
