DE JONG FLORAL AND SEED CO., PELLA, IOWA 



Medium or Common Red Clover 



"Iowa Brand" 



High Grade, Recleaned, Pure Clover Seed is One of Our Specialties 



For this grade we buy the best and purest Iowa grown seed and then thoroughly reclean it, so it 

 will be the plumpest, brightest, and cleanest seed to be had. 



We make a specialty of shipping direct to the farmer and our seed has become widely known for 

 its purity, strong vitality, vigorous and healthy growth, and entirely free from foul weeds. 



Many fields are filled with noxious weeds from sowing impure clover and timothy seed, but far- 

 mers are getting more particular and demand pure seed. You run no risk in sowing our "IOWA 

 BRAND" Recleaned Seed. 



Beware of cheap imported seed as this is generally infected with Thistle, Dodder, Plantain, Mus- 

 tard, etc. Insist on American grown Seed, and also on a purity test in buying Clover and Timothy 

 Seed. 



Both grades offered by us will meet all requirements of the Iowa Pure Seed Law in purity and vi- 

 tality. We have identical samples of this Seed tested and analyzd by the U. S. Experiment Station and 

 also the Iowa State Station at Ames. 



Write for prices as they change constantly and we cannot make a price that will hold good during 

 the season. s 



But will always send as much as the money will pay for at market prices. 



"Iowa Brand" Fancy Grade 



The purest and best the market affords. Per lb. by mail 40 cts., 3 lbs. $1.00, about per 

 bushel, bags included. 



Choice Seed

"Iowa Brand*' Timothy Seed 



Iowa Grown High Grade Timothy Seed 



Is also one of our specialties to supply direct to the farmers. Our Fancy Grade of Seed is pure, 

 clean, plump and of strong vitality and but little hulled. 



Iowa grows more Timothy Seed than any other state. We select the best quality and thoroughly 

 reclean this so it is free from noxious weeds and impurities. 



Like with our Clover Seed you run no risk to sow this Seed and will fully meet all requirements 

 of the Iowa Pure Seed Law, as we had both grades tested and analyzed at U. S. and Iowa State Experi- 

 ment Stations.

Sweet Clover, White Blossom 



This Clover is especially adapted for bee pasture, and whoever keeps bees should not fail to put 

 in at least half an acre. The last few years farmers have been experimenting with it and they find it is 

 a great soil improver and fine for stock when young and tender, almost as valuable as alfalfa and 

 much easier to grow. It is claimed this clover will not bloat cattle. It is now being used in spring 

 sowing as a nurse crop which makes fine pasture in fall and adding to the fertility of the soil. It 

 roots very deeply, opening up the soil, so as to adapt it for all other crops and especially for alfalfa. 

 Sown early in spring it makes the finest hog pasture. We offer only the best recleaned and scarified 

 seed which will give you a much higher per cent of germination than untreated seed. Sow 10 lbs. 

 per acre in spring. Per lb. 35 cts., 3 lbs. $1.00, by mail; by freight, pk. $2.50, bu. $10.00. 



YELLOW FLOWER. Very similar to the White Flowered, but blooms a little earlier. Not so 

 rank and coarse and more dwarf in growth and for this reason many think it is superior for hay and 

 pasture. Per lb. 35 cts., 3 lbs. $1.00, by mail; by freight, pk. $2.50, bu. $10.00, bags included. 



Prices subject to change of market samples and price on application.
