New Varieties of Alfalfa Northwestern-Grown Alfalfa 
One of the most important crops grown on a farm. Once established, 
Atlantic Alfalfa 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, 
Developed by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station nothing ts better than Alfalfa. Northern-grown seed will stand winter 
and is particularly adapted to New Jersey conditions, although it is | weather well. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. 
recommended for the whole area from the New England States south 
to North Carolina and west to the Mississippi River. It has been 
among the higher yielding varieties in a number of states. Highly Grimm Alfalfa

bacterial wilt than common Alfalfa varieties. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. per Productiveness and extreme hardiness have built a splendid repu- 
IESE tation for this variety. The roots are more spreading than ordinary 
Alfalfa, without a long tap-root, and it is therefore good for shallow 
Buffalo Alfalfa soils. Stems and leaves somewhat finer and leafier. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs.

Developed in Kansas for its wilt resistance. Somewhat more winter x

CLOVERS PRICES ON REQUEST 
GENUINE PENNSYLVANIA RED CLOVER (MEDIUM). Our | NORTHWESTERN-GROWN RED CLOVER (MEDIUM) is 
Pennsylvania Red Clover is grown mostly in Mifflm and Lebanon 
counties. Supply is ample but 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. Sow in 
early spring at the rate of 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. Does well where other Clovers fail, such as in 
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 in 
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 mm the soil surface. Used for both pasture and hay and ts 
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 
well with other pasture plants. Sow 5 to 7 Ibs. per acre alone, or 
1 to 2 Ibs. per acre when sown with hay mixtures.

‘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 lbs. 
Red Clover, 2 Ibs. Alfalfa, and 1 Ib. Alsike per acre. 
KENLAND RED CLOVER. Developed by the Kentucky Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station and the United States Department 
of Agriculture to resist southern anthracnose. It ts longer lived 
than common red clover and gives higher yields of forage, averaging 
about 40 percent more hay in some tests. An exceptionally good 
soil builder, putting 35 to 45 pounds more nitrogen im an acre than 
ordinary red clover, thus giving more benefit to corn and other 
crops grown In the rotation. Especially recommended for Ken- 
tucky, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana and southern Illinois. 
Sow in early spring at the rate of 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre. 
PENNSCOTT CLOVER. Produced in Pennsylvania from a local 
strain on the Scott farm here in Lancaster County; tested at The 
Pennsylvania State University for the past fifteen years. This new 
red clover shows great promise for Pennsylvania and the whole 
northeastern section of the United States on account of its exception- 
al disease resistance, extreme winter hardiness and ability to provide 
a second-year hay-crop. Very little of this seed is available for this 
spring (1954) but we hope to have sufficient quantity for our 
customers In spring of 1955. Sow in early spring at the rate of 8 
to 10 Ibs. per acre.
