White Sweet Clover Seed 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of the most Hseful 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 is not so widely 

 known. However, Sweet Clover is coming to the front very fast these days. 

 Some years ago it was considered as a weed by those who knew no better. The 

 former attitude of the enlightened farmer today is changing to a great respect 

 for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, both as a food for stock «nd as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn-out soils. 



The seed should be sown either in the fall or early in the spring. 20ito 25 

 pounds per acre of unhulled seed is about the right quantity to sow. We can 

 ship promptly at the following prices for the white variety: 



Postpaid, one pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds for 50 cents. 

 By express f. 0. b. Hamiiton—S pounds for 80c; 10 pounds 

 for $1.50; 25 pounds tor $3.50; 50 pounds for $6.50; or 100 

 pounds for $12.00. 



We can also furnish the yellow biennial seed. This variety blooms about 

 two weeks earlier than the white which makes it preferred by some bee-keepers. 

 For the yellow seed add one cent per pound to the above prices on the white 

 variety. Seed will be shipped promptly on receipt of order.
