Nicholson's Graded Alfalfa 
Seed 
(Medicago Sativa) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Many successful Alfalfa growers make it a 
habit to run a harrow over their fields in criss- 
cross fashion after cutting. This helps to keep 
down the weeds and encourages a more rapid 
growth. The method will not hurt the roots of 
your plants. Alfalfa can be cut at any time 
from start of bloom stage to the time the 
plants are in full bloom. 
your soil should be clean and well pre- 
pared, but firm. Cover the seed about one 
inch deep with harrow. Firming the land by 
use of a roller after planting will help you to 
get a good stand, as well as a more uniform 
growth. 
The seed should be sown broadcast at the 
trate of 20 pounds to the acre in September, 
October and November. Can also be planted 
in February, March and April. 
Inoculate your seed before planting. Plant 
alfalfa early in spring to avoid the spring 
weed crop.

tire year. This is certainly a wonder crop and

NICHOLSON’S HIGHLY 
Alyce Clover 
(Alysicarpus Vaginalis) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “E”’ 
Classed as one of the finest Clovers ever to 
be intreduced in the South. Alyce will grow 
on and improve poor soils, making it an ex- 
cellent cover crop and soil builder. For hay 
crops, however, sandy loam will satisfy if 
best. (Alyce will not succeed on wet lands 
or heavy clays.) This drought-resistant Clover 
has no superior for summer and early fall 
grazing. If allowed to re-seed itself at proper 
time, will become a permanent crop. Alyce 
preduces a sweetly scented hay that is rel- 
i. ied by all stock; it has tender stems and 
many smail leaves, retentive of color and 
fragrance, all of which makes it an ideal 
cash crop. Sow in the spring at the rate of 
ten pounds per acre, broadcast and then 
lightly disc or harrow into the soil. Lb., 60c; 
2 lbs., $1.10, postpaid. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
Alsike or Swedish Clover 
(Trifolium Hybridum) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN *“B”’ 
Alsike Clover is a perennial, often treated 
as a biennial, as many smooth stalks come 
from the crown. In many heads the blooms 
are all white, in others all pink; sometimes 
partly pink and partly white. 
The leaves are larger than those of white 
clover and less heart-shaped. The plants are 
semi-erect, growing tall enough for mowing. 
As a rule this plant makes growth in both 
winter and summer, this being especially so 
on mois. lands. When it is sown with grasses 
it forms a thick undergrowth and greatly in- 
creases the yield. 
hen sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds to 
the acre. It is best, however, to sow with 
other grasses and clovers, using about one- 
quarter of the above amount. Plant in fall or 
spring. Lb., 65c; 2 Ibs., $1.20, postpaid. Please 
ask for prices in larger quantities.

Bur Clover may be sown advantageously on 
Bermuda sod, the two plants furnishing al- 
most continuous grazing. In this case the 
seeds are either sown early without cover- 
ing, or else the Bermuda sod is so plowed as 
not to destroy the roots. Use ten pounds of 
seed in the bur or four to six pounds of the 
Halles seed per acre for planting on Bermuda 
soa.

with 
NITRAGIN “3” 
PALATABLE CLOVERS FOR GRAZING AND HAY 
BURR CLOVER 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Bur Clover is used extensively and does 
well mixed with other clovers and grasses for 
permanent pastures. It also thrives on a wide 
range of soils, including sandy loams and 
lime-clad soils. 
It is one of the finest crops for winter pas- 
turage, and being a legume, it also places 
nitrogen in the soil while growing. 
hould you plant seed in the bur, it is 
wise to plant your burs earlier than you 
would hulled seed, as seeds in the bur are 
slower to germinate. Plant seed in the bur 
20 to 30 pounds and hulled seed 15 pounds 
to the acre.
