Sweet Clover Seed ! 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most useful things that can be grown on 

 the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well 

 known to bee-keepers, but its worth as a 

 forage-plant and also as an enricher of the 

 soil are not so widely known. However. 

 Sweet Clover is coming to the front very 

 fast these days. Some years ago it was con- 

 sidered as a weed by those who knew no 

 better. The former attitude of the enlight- 

 ened farmer today is changing to a great re- 

 spect for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, 

 both as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn out soils. 



The seed can be sown any time. From 18 

 to 20 pounds per acreof the unhulledseed is 

 about the right quantity to sow. 



We can ship promptly at the following 

 prices for the white variety; 



Postpaid. I pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds 

 for 50 cents. By express f. o. b. Chicago- 

 5 pounds for 80c; 10 pounds for 81.50; 25 

 pounds for $3.50; 50 pounds for 5<),St>; or 100 

 pounds for $12.00. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to 

 add 25 cents more for cartage to the above 

 prices on each order.
