Alfalfa 
Sow 12 to 15 Ibs. to the acre, drilled. 
919 ALFALFA BLEND. A mixture of se- 
lected varieties of alfalfa seeds for better 
adaption and better crops in your area. 
Through a special process the “hard seed” 
content is greatly reduced, upping germina- 
tion. Is fungicide treated to increase stands 
and give better yields. You are assured a 
purity of at least 99.60%, a germination of 
at least 92%, consistently higher than on 
other brands of mid-west alfalfa. Also more 
disease resistant. 
SOUTHWESTERN. Non-winter hardy, ideal 
to plant with peas early in spring as nurse 
crop. You: can get one cutting of hay in 
August and still have a good green manure 
to plow under in the fall. Costs much less 
than the price of hardy Alfalfa. 
GRIMM. One of the oldest and best known 
of the winter hardy varieties, but is very 
susceptible to bacterial wilt and is losing 
favor because of this. 
RANGER. One of the newest, resistant to 
bacterial wilt. Is also the best variety for 
winter hardiness; some stands are now 10 
years old. Yield is about equal to Grimm. 
This variety now leads the alfalfa list.

Clover Seed 
Prices given on Special Yellow list. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. This is the recognized standard of the 
clover family. It: produces two crops each year. The first is generally 
harvested for hay when in full bloom. The second crop may be har- 
vested for seed, cut for hay, or plowed under for fertilizer. Sow 6 to 
12 pounds to the acre. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER. One of the hardiest varieties 
known. It is perennial and does not winterkill. It will do better on 
moist land than any other variety of clover, and is suitable for either 
hay or pasture. When sown with other grasses, it forms a thick 
undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. It is frequently sown 
both with medium Red Clover and with Timothy, and the quality of 
hay thus produced is excellent. It is fine stemmed and leafy. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER. This variety is grown mostly for pas- 
ture and for soiling. It is a very vigorous grower, but is not desir- 
able for hay unless cut when quite young. 
WHITE OR DUTCH CLOVER. A low close growing clover, with 
round white heads. Very fragrant and desirable for beautifying the 
lawn. It will stand close cutting and very rapidly throws up an 
abundance of leaves and blossoms. It is usually better to sow with 
other grasses. Does well on most any soil. 
LADINO. Grows 10 to 14 in. tall. Leaves and flowers are two to 
four times the size of white clover. Principal use is high quality 
pastures. Should bé grown with other grasses and legumes on fertile 
soil well supplied with moisture. 
SWEET CLOVER, YELLOW BLOSSOM. This variety grows finer 
and more spreading than the white and is not so tall. It matures 
more quickly than the White Clover and for a second season the 
hay crop is probably preferable because of its finer stems. 
HUBAM SWEET CLOVER. An annual white blossomed Sweet 
Clover which is popular in areas where Fall plowing is customary. 
It is less efficient than the biennial types as a nitrogen fixer but since 
it dies at the end of the first season, it presents no problem of erad- 
ication when Fall plowed as do the biennial types. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. A rather short growing, long lived peren- 
nial legume not recommended where other Clovers do well, but of 
considerable value as a supplementary legume in pastures where soils 
are not so well adapted to Alfalfa and Ladino. 
Grasses 
Prices given on Special Yellow List. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Will outlive any other grasses for 
pasture or lawn, but should not be cut or pastured too closely in ex- 
tremely hot, dry weather. The seed is very slow in germinating, 
therefore, it is advisable to plant with other varieties of quicker 
growing habits. Makes a sweet and nutritious pasture for all stock. 
RYE GRASS, ANNUAL. Is a very quick growing grass and for that 
reason makes an excellent pasture. It thrives on rich, moist land, 
where from three to four cuttings may be made in a season. Grows 
very quickly and will stand close pasturage. 
RED TOP. As a hay crop, Red Top is next to Timothy in impor- 
tance. It will do the best on rather moist soil, but will thrive on 
most any soil. It is a good variety to sow with Timothy or Clover 
for meadow or pasture. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS. One of the most drought-resistant 
grasses. Grows fast in cool weather, but is more or less dormant 
in extreme hot weather. When used for pasture, no amount of abuse 
seems to stop its growth. For hay and pasture, compares favorably 
with Bromus Inermis. Sow at rate of 12 Ibs. to the acre. 
ORCHARD GRASS. Is an early fibrous rooted perennial. Its rapid 
growth makes it very desirable for pasture. Withstands droughts 
better than most grasses. Will thrive in the shade such as in orchards 
and lanes. When closely cropped, it grows up quickly again. 
ALTA FESCUE. A very deep-rooted perennial grass that stands 
dry weather extremely well. Does well in rich or poor soil. Blades 
are wider and lighter colored than Blue Grass. Germinates in 7 
to 10 days. Used for pastures and lawns.
