READ THIS LETTER: 



Brooksville, Ky., March 13, 1911. 

 Tlie A. I. Root Co., Neclina, Ohio. 



Gentltmeri: — Some time ago I sent to you for a 

 sample of your white and yellow sweet-clover seed. 

 After receiving the samples I sent them to Washing- 

 ton, D. C. Thd yellow hulled tested M.71 per cent of 

 pure seed; the unhuUed white tested 99.11 per cent of 

 pure seed. I think that is fine. I inclose you the sam- 

 ple that you sent me, and want you to send me 80 lbs. 

 of the same lot that this sample is out of, or some 

 equally good. Send the seed by freight. 



Yours truly, H. A. Jktt. 



We have a booklet, published for free distribu- 

 tion, which tells THE TRUTH ABOUT 



SWEET CLOVER. Ask for your copy. 

 We can now supply fresh new seed of 1911 



crop in all but the annual yellow at following

The prices are all subject to market changes. 



As to the comparative value of the diflferent 

 varietle.s, we will say that the white, or Meli- 

 lotus alba, is most common, and therefore the 

 best known. The yellow is desirable because 

 it begins blooming usually from two to four 

 weeks earlier than the white. As to the two 

 varieties of yellow, one of the experiment 

 stations has said there was a distinction with- 

 out a dlflference.
