ALFALFA, CLOVER 
AND GRASSES 
ALFALFA. NARRAGANSETT. Certified. 
Ideal for Northeastern Conditions. 
This brand new alfalfa has been thoroughly tested for a number of 
years and has proved outstanding for New York and New England. 
It establishes itself more quickly, making it easier to get good thick 
stands, and is especially high yielding for the first few years. Dark 
green, hardy and vigorous, it makes a beautiful crop and is the most 
productive hay legume for well-drained soils. Not wilt resistant, it is 
recommended especially for short term stands. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre, alone or in mixtures. Use Nitragin A-B. Certified Seed.

under a wide range of conditions. It yields well right from the start 
and continues to produce heavily for many years. Very widely adapt- 
ed and excellent with brome grass for hay. 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Use

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. 70c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $7.65 prepaid to 5th zone. 
Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $22.80; 100 Lbs. $38.00. 
LADINO CLOVER. Certified. For Pasture and Early Silage. 
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.

PENNSCOTT RED CLOVER (New). Certified Seed. 
Originated in Pennsylvania, this new variety is superior in yield, per- 
sistence and winter hardiness to Kenland or the regular Medium 
Red Clover. Easy to establish, combines well with other legumes and 
recommended to growers who want the best. Very productive for first 
two years. Lb. 90c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $12.00 prepaid to 5th zone.

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.

Not paid: Bu. (60 Lbs.) $27.00; 100 Lbs. $45.00. 
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. 50c; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $4.95 prepaid to 5th zone.

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 
2.) 1 or 2 lbs. per acre is sufficient.

Narragansett Alfalfa— With brome grass. Thick stand, high yield. 
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.

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. Larger, quicker growing and more erect 
than Empire, it blooms earlier and comes back faster after cutting.

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.

BROME GRASS. Southern. 
This highly recommended 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.

S-37 ORCHARD GRASS. for Early Grass, Silage and Pasture. 
An improved strain of this persistent, leafy, quick-growing grass. In 
combination with Ladino Clover, it makes high-quality ensilage early 
and recovers rapidly for summer pasturage. The S-37 strain is some- 
what slower-growing and later to form seed heads, prolonging its useful- 
ness. Easily established, long-lived and tolerant of adverse conditions. 
Sow 8 lbs. per acre with 1 lb. of Ladino in early spring.

moist loam soils and yields good crops even on poorer land. Sow 6 Ibs. 
per acre in mixtures with clover, alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil, ete. Timothy 
responds well to applications of nitrate in early spring. Our seed is 
very high in purity and germination.
