Write for Leaflet and price. CRIMSON or SCAREET CLOVER Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular both for pasture and hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. It can be seeded at any time from June to October at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, and makes the earliest possible green pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for feed- ing as hay should be cut just before coming in full bloom. One acre grown at the New Jersey Experimental Station yielded. May 31, 6997 pounds of organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 186A pounds of potash. The nitrogen alone could not be bought for $, and is fully equal to that found in 20 tons of stable manure, and at such a small cost. It not only builds up worn out soils, when turned under, but rich soils are kept up to their fertility with less cost than by any other means. Lb., 30 cts., postpaid. Write for special circular and price of seed per bushel. AEEAEFA (Medlcago Sativa).
