F. W. BOLGIANO & CO.

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.

makes your investment in Jawn seed and
effort pay greater dividends. 150 sq. ft. $4.98.

The Original Improved Cyclone
Seeder

It differs materi-
ally and very ad-
vantageously from
all other Sowers in
having a slope feed-
board with an ob-
long hopper which
terminates in a metal
edge, on which edge
oscillates a feed-plate

; which does not al-
low the seed to become clogged, but makes a
positive force feed and insures a uniform
flow and even distribution of seed. To any-
one desiring a convenient, practical and
all-round first-class grain and grass seeder,
a good, large sower that will meet the
most exacting demands, we recommend the
Cyclone highly. Parcel post weight, 6 Ibs.
Model 1. $7.65.

Designed for spread-
ing granular herbicides
and insecticides, pellet
materials, seeds, etc. at
