CLOVER—HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR 
Natural Soil Improvers—Unexcelled for Stock Feeding 
All Clovers have the power to gather Nitrogen from the air, and store it in the form of nodules on the roots; thereby 
providing rich food for crops of cereals, etc., which follow. Thus they save the cost of expensive commercial fertilizers, and 
the labor of loading and spreading farmyard manure. The long roots of Clover penetrate deeply into the soil, improve its 
’ 
drainage, render it more friable, and increase its capacity for holding moisture. When plowed under, Clover crops add 
humus to the soil, and further improve its mechanical condition, Purchaser Pays Transportation Charges on Clovers.
