Annual S^eet 

 Clouer Seed for 

 Sale at Lo^w Prices 



Fifteen years ago M. C. Berry discover(>(l 

 this wonderful plant growing on the "Old 

 Gilmer Plantation." near Tyson, Ala. Since 

 that time we have watched with interest 

 its great spread and growth throughout 

 Alabama, its native home. As a plow- 

 under green manure crop it has no supe- 

 rior, and for honey it has no equal. In 

 gathering this seed, through a misunder- 

 standing, we had a lot that was mixed with 

 biennial. Therefore our loss is your gain, 

 as we are selling this seed hulled and scari- 

 fied at the unheard-of low prices, as long 

 as this lot of seed lasts. 



In 5 or 10 pound lots by parcel post, pre- 

 paid. 30c a pound. 



In 25 to 50 pound lots by express pre- 

 paid, 25c a pound. 



In 50 to 100 pound lots by express pre- 

 paid, 20c a pound. 



Seed is guaranteed to be pure sweet clo- 

 ver running from 50 to 90 per cent pure 

 Annual, the balance Biennial. Germination 

 we also guarantee to fully please.
