BOLGIANO'S “Capitol City Brand” Clover, Hay and Pasture Grasses
—— WRITE FOR PRICES
CLOVERS
Inoculate all Legume Seed (Alfalfa, Clovers and Lespedeza) with Nitragin and insure a good stand.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). A perennial legume thriving best on well- drained, heavily Iimed soils. Being a heavy feeder, Alfalfa requires an abundance of available plant food, particularly phosphoric acid. Varieties most used in Washington area are Kansas Common and Williamsburg.
Alsike Clover (Trifolium bybridum). The hardiest of Clovers. Prefers a rather heavy silt or clay soil with plenty of moisture.
Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum). A winter annual. Im- proves poor soils and furnishes forage when pastures are resting. Sow in spring, summer and fall.
Ladino Clover (Trifolium repens latum). This perennial is known as the Giant White Clover. A low-growing, leafy plant with succulent and somewhat coarse stems. Under proper moisture conditions, these stems will take root at the joints, and in this manner thicken up the stand.
Medium Red or June Clover (Trifolium pratense). Does best on rich, well-drained soil containing an abundance of lime. Makes two crops of hay a year and may be sown in spring or fall.
Chesapeake Red Clover. A superior, longer-lived strain of Red Clover adapted to areas where anthracnose diseases are prevalent.
White Clover (Trifolium: repens). Included in some Jawn grass mixtures; also valuable in permanent pastures. Sow in spring.
White Sweet Clover (Melilotus alba). Grows 3 to 5 feet tall and is valuable for forage; ensilage and bees. Lasts for years if cut before flowering and on rich soil will produce three crops a year.
Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). Valuable plant for hay and for use in permanent pasture mixtures. Stays green and produces excellent feed during hot summer months.
Kobe Lespedeza
An improved variety of common Lespedeza, valuable as a hay and pasture crop. It grows 15 to 18 inches tall. Matures 3 weeks Jater than Korean, extending the grazing season. Sow 25 pounds per acre.
Field of Clover
Korean Lespedeza
The most popular of the Lespedeza family, growing 12 to 15 inches tall. Grows readily in acid soil and reseeds itself. Drought-resistant; ready to cut in August. Sow February 1 to the last of May.
Sericea Lespedeza
A perennial for poor soil; withstands droughts and gives two or more cuttings per season after the first year. Cut when a foot high.
HAY and PASTURE MIXTURES
Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis)
Although it does well on most any good soil, Blue Grass requires about two years to become established and is therefore often sown with other grasses. Sow in spring or fall.
Tall Fescues
Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue. A deep-rooted, long-lived perennial grass with many shiny, dark green leaves coming from the crown of the plant. It makes a very close turf if conditions are favorable.
Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata) An early bunch grass which stays green in spite of heat and drought. Lasts for years. Annual Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum)
An annual all-purpose grass used for cover crop mixtures and for hay and temporary pasture.
Perennial Rye Grass (Lolium perenne)
A splendid permanent pasture grass doing best on moderately moist soils.
Red Top or Herd’s Grass (Agrostis alba)
A good pasture grass. Does well in low, wet meadows. Sow in spring or fall.
For other grasses refer to page 1
Timothy (Phleum pratense)
This important hay and pasture grass should be sown at the rate of 12 pounds per acre in spring or fall. One popular mixture uses 10 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds Clover; another has 8 pounds Timothy, 6 pounds Clover (Alstke or Mammoth), 6 pounds Red Top and 10 pounds Alta Fescue to the acre.
Bolgiano’s Permanent Pasture Mixture
This mixture is composed of only the best germinating seeds and is sure to give satisfaction.
For Uplands: A special mixture of the best grasses and clovers for establishing a permanent pasture.
Dwarf Essex Rape
An annual resembling kale which furnishes good pasture for poul- try and livestock within six weeks after sowing.
Golden Foxtail Millet
Makes an enormous yield of hay which should be cut just as the heads begin to form. Sow from May through July.
Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa)
Valuable as a winter cover crop to prevent Jeaching and to turn in for fertilizer. It is also a good forage plant.
Crownvetch (Coronilla varia) A perennial legume with creeping stems 2 to 6 feet long. Develops a heavy, multi-branched creeping root system. It reproduces by seed and spreads vegetatively by rhizomes. Used for temporary grazing, ground cover and erosion control.
