Sweet Clovers 
(ASK FOR PRICES) 
The culture of Sweet Clover is practically the 
same as for Alfalfa. Sweet Clover, however, will 
make an immense growth and if cut before it is 
too ripe makes excellent hay. It is also valuable 
for pasture for hogs, sheep and cattle. Like Red 
Clover, this is a biennial and should be renewed 
every other year, The seed may be sown in the 
late fall and winter, or early spring as well as 
in the late summer. Sow 12 to 20 pounds per acre. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
White Blossom makes the rankest growth of 
any clover. It produces the biggest hay crop 
and is the best soil enricher and green fertilizer. 
It breaks up the soil, gathers nitrogen from the 
air and deposits it in the soil. 
HUBAM SWEET CLOVER 
This is an annual White Sweet Clover that may 
be planted in April and will mature and make 
seed the first year. j 
YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
Is a biennial like the White Blossom Sweet 
Clover and differs from that variety only in 
that it is ten days earlier, Does not grow as tall, 
is more spreading in habit, makes finer hay or 
pasture. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER (Trifolium fragiferum) 
Is a most important crop for converting seepy, 
alkaline soils into income-producing pasture. It 
is one of the pasturage plants for the conditions 
under which it thrives but is not a hay plant. It 
is a perennial and may be propagated from seed 
or by its creeping stems or runners. Grows very 
dense, spreads rapidly and tends to crowd out 
all other forms of vegetation. Strawberry Clover 
likes “wet feet.’ It has been found making good 
growth with most of the vegetative parts sub- 
merged in water. Rate of seeding varies from 2 
to 6 pounds per acre. 
INTERMEDIATE WHEATGRASS 
(Agropyron intermedium) 
Is a perennial sod-forming grass introduced by 
USDA from the Soviet Union. It shows great pro- 
mise for use aS a pasture and forage species in 
the northern and central parts of the Great 
Plains and Pacific northwest. It is more drought- 
resistant than Smooth Brome and somewhat less 
hardy and drought-resistant than Crested Wheat- 
grass. The plants begin in early spring and reach 
a height of 3 to 4 feet, The abundant leafy foliage 
is relished by all classes of livestock. 
Alfalfa 
(ASK FOR PRICES) 
CULTURE 
Alfalfa Seed may be sown either in spring or in 
fall at the rate of 12 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Sow with oats, barley, field peas or other grains 
as a nurse crop, sowing only about half the 
amount of grain per acre, so that the grain will 
not be too thick to smother out the alfalfa. 
Alfalfa is the great hay crop for America and 
can be successfully grown in many localities. 
Alfalfa is of two types the Domestic or Com- 
mon, which has a long tap root which penetrates 
into the soil for a distance of 8 to 10 feet, and 
the Grimm Type, which has a spreading root 
system. The Grimm Type is considered the 
hardiest, although on certain soils and in certain 
localities the Hardy Common varieties will stand 
extremes of heat and cold equally well. 
The common types of Alfalfa Seed will be 
available in quantity this season. However, the 
Baltic and Grimm types are very short. Of the 
Domestic Type we have the following origins: 
Colorado, Kansas, Utah and Argentine. Prices 
are not quoted in the catalogue owing to market 
changes. When you are in the market for Al- 
falfa and Sweet Clover, please write us, advising 
quantity wanted, and we will quote you best 
prices promptly by return mail, 
DOMESTIC ALFALFA 
Several grades of Colorado grown Common AIl- 
falfa will be available in limited quantities for 
spring seeding. Write for prices advising quan- 
tity wanted and we will submit samples for your 
inspection. Owing to limited stocks on hand, 
early orders are advisable. 
MEEKER BALTIC 
This hardy strain is produced in the same dis- 
trict in Colorado jas the. Moffat Grimm: it is of 
the Grimm type and by some authorities is con- 
sidered the hardiest and most productive var- 
iety. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
The hardiest of the hardy alfalfas and differs 
from the domestic cr common variety in that it 
has a spreading root system instead of the long 
tap root which is sometimes broken when the 
ground bulges, during the spring freezes, thus 
causing the plant to die. Highest grade seed. 
Very hardy and will produce a fine hay crop. 
ARGENTINE ALFALFA 
This seed is imported from Argentine in South 
America. It is strained 10% Red to meet govern- 
ment regulations. Government restrictions have 
been removed and this seed can now be planted 
in all districts. It is of the Common variety and 
seed will be in fairly good supply if shipping 
space is available to bring in this seed. 
ALFALFA-BROME MIXTURE 
Owing to the limited supply of Alfalfa Seed a 
mixture of Alfalfa Seed and Brome Grass is 
recommended for Hay or Pasture. Use 12 Ibs. 
Brome and 4 lbs. Alfalfa Seed per acre.
