LIST OF CHOICE FARM SEEDS FOR 1922. 45 
CLOVERS 
In the northern United States and 
Canada the mark of the good farmer is his 
ability to grow Clover successfully and 
profitably. It is an indispensable part of 
a self-sustaining crop rotation, is prob- 
ably the most important of all our hay 
plants, except Alfalfa in the west, forms 
an indispensable ingredient of balanced 
rations and can be turned under with im- 
mense benefit to the land as it is one of 
the chief nitrogen gathering crops. 
Clover pasture is well adapted to hog- 
ciently restricted to avoid bloating. It 
should be sown in conjunction with some 
other grass such as Timothy or Awnless 
Brome Grass. Clover is unexcelled as a 
soiling crop and is much used for silage. 
The seed crop yields a profitable return; 
the seed reproducing about 30 fold on the 
average, and can usually be taken from the 
second growth after the first has been cut 
for hay. 
We offer strictly high-grade recleaned 
Clover Seed of all varieties. Do not be in- 
duced to buy cheap seed, as cheap seed is dear 
at any price, being certain to contain noxious 
weed seeds, likely to be detrimental to crops, 
farm and community.

pratense) — The grade we offer is choice re- 
cleaned home-grown seed, free from weeds and

sisting extremes of wet and drought alike. It makes a 
very fine, soft, dustless hay that really is better than Red 
Clover hay. (60 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb. 35c (by mail 42c); 
10 lbs. $2.25; 60 lbs. $12.60; 100 lbs. $21.00.

HUBAM CLOVER—Annual White Sweet Clover—A very vigor- 
ous, rapid growing annual sweet clover discovered in 1916 
at the lowa Experiment Station. It makes a tremendously 
tall, bushy growth and as a green manuring or soil im- 
provement variety it stands alone, as it makes the greatest 
growth in the shortest time of any clover now known. A 
most nutritious pasture plant and a bees’ paradise from 
June until frost. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. 1 1b. $1.50 (by 
mail $1.60); 5 lbs. $6.50; 10 lbs, $11.50 ; 
BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba)—White 
blossom, biennial. A clover valuable for the excellent 
honey which it yields, and highly important as a soil builder 
and inoculator for Alfalfa, as a green forage and hay crop 
and as a pasture plant; generally adaptable to unfavorable 
soils and conditions. Stock do not take to it readily at first, 
but soon learn to like it and thereafter eat it greedily. As 
a soil renovator it has no equal. Reports show 4 and 5 tons 
of hay at one cutting. Sow 10 to 16 lbs. per acre. 
Hulled Seed—Per lb. 30c; (by mail 37c); 10 Ibs. 2.00; 60 lbs,

RAPE—DWARF ESSEX 
The earliest cultivated and most profitable plant for sheep, hog or cattle feed known. It 
can be sown in early spring along with Oats or Rye, and eaten off by sheep within a week 
Or so after harvest. It can also be sown on Oats, Rye or Wheat stubble, or on any vacant 
land up to the first days of August, and will yield an immense crop of green fodder in six 
to eight weeks from the time of sowing. As a fattener for sheep and hogs it is superior 
to clover. Should be sown in drills at the rate of 3 lbs. per acre, or broadcast, using 4 to 
6 lbs. per acre, all through the summer months, so as to furnish a successive crop of sheep 
feed. One acre of Rape will pasture 36 sheep for two months. Per lb. 20c (by mail 27c); 
10 Ibs. for $1.25; 100 Ibs. $10.00. 
SUGAR CANE 
Sorghum, 
Wisconsin Early Amber—The most widely used in the Northern States. Its distinctive 
features are earliness and great yield of syrup. Sow when the ground is warm so as to 
insure a good germination. If wanted for fodder sow from 50 to 60 lbs. of Seed broad- 
cast to the acre. For syrup 25 lbs. is sufficient. If drilled in continuous rows so as to 
cultivate one way, 12 to 15 lbs. is required. Weight per bushel, 50 lbs. Per 1b. 18c (by 
mail 25c); 5 lbs. 50c; 10 Ibs. 70c; 100 lbs. $5.50.

both forage and grain. Grows 4 to 6 feet high. It is generally grown in drills from 2 
feet 6 inches to 3 feet 6 inches apart. Thoroughly pulverize the soil before sowing and 
do not sow until the ground is warm, using about 12 lbs. of seed to the acre. 1 lb. 18c 
(by mail 20c); 5 lbs. 35c; 10 Ibs. 55c; 100 Ibs. $4.00. 
BROOM CORN 
Broom Corn is one of the best paying crops and is adapted to any soil that will grow 
corn. It will make a crop with very little rain. One acre will yield 1 to 1% tons of cured 
brush and up to 40 bushels of seed, which is nearly equal to oats in feeding value, Plant 
in drills 3% feet apart, and in rows about 8 inches apart; and cultivate the same as corn. 
About 5 to 8 pounds of seed will sow an acre. If planted the first of June, the crop will be 
ready to cut September 15th. Per lb. 20c (by mail 27c); 5 lbs. 65c; 10 Ibs. $1.10; 50 lbs. $4.00.
