Sweet Clover Seed 



QUICK GERMINATION 



Get our "Scarified." sweet clover seed which will germinate from 85 to 05 percent the 

 first year and thus insure you a good stand right from the start. By sowing our seed you 

 will save money, as it only takes about half as much scarified to sow an acre as oidinary 

 hulled seed 



PRICES 



When seed is wanted by parcel post, be sure to include postage. Bags will be inclu- 

 ded in ihe weight in parcel post shipments. 



PLEASE NOTE— All of our seed is thoroughly cleaned. The scarifying process us- 

 ually breaks some of the seeds and we remove all broken seeds. This is an important 

 savine in vou Samples on application. 



YELLOW SWEET CLOVER— Many people fail to recognize the value of the biennial 

 yellow sweet clover as a honey plant. The fact that it blooms two weeks earlier than the 

 white variety makes it especially valuable to the beekeeper. 



Be sure, however, to get the biennial variety as quoted above.
