Currie's farm and garden annual : spring 1920 45th year curriesfarmgarde19curr_3 Year: 1920 ( LIST OF CHOICE FARM SEEDS FOR 1920. 45 CLOVERS In the northern United States and Canada the mark of the good farmer is liis ability to grow Clover successfully and profitablyâprofitably not only in respect of what he actually g-ets from his clover seed and hay crops theinselves, but for what the careful and judicious growing of Clover means to his farin and to himself in crop rotation, feeding, soil fertilization, etc. It is an indispensable part-«of a self- sustaining .crop rotation, is probably the most important of all our hay plants, ex- cept Alfalfa in the west, forms an indis- pensable ingredient of balanced rations and after crops have been taken off can at little expense be turned under with im- '';r; mense manurial benefit to the land as it is one of the chief nitrogen gathering crops. This is the cheapest and surest way of enriching the ground. Clover pasture is well adapted to hog- raising and cattle thrive on it, if sufficiently restricted to avoid bloating. It should be sown in conjunction with some other grass such as Timothy or Awnless Brome Grass. Clover is unexcelled as a soiling crop and is much used for silage. The seed crop yields a profitable return, the seed reproducing about 30 fold on the average, and can usually be taken from the second growth after the first has been cut for hay. We offer strictly high-grade, recleaned Clover seed of all varieties. Market prices this year are the highest ever known, caused by several seasons' unfavorable con- ditions, short supply and heavy demand; our prices are higher accordingly, but are based on a reasonable margin of profit only. Do not be induced to buy cheap seed, as cheap seed is dear at any price, being certain to contain noxious weed seeds, likely to be detrimental to crops, farin and community.
