Please Write for Today's Prices. 



The recently enacted Federal Seed Act 

 provides that all imported seed of Bed and 

 Alfalfa Clover be artificially stained in the 



following manner: 



No. 1. Unadapted for general use in this 

 country, must be stained 10% Red. 



No. 2. Adapted for general use in this coun- 

 try, must be stained 1% Green. (Except 

 Canada grown). 



No. 3. Adapted for general use in this coun- 

 try (Canada grown) must be stained 1% 

 Violet. 



No. 4. No stain is required on American 

 grown Clover. 



Alfalfa. Purest northwestern grown seed 

 only. The most valuable hay crop and 

 soil enricher. Requires well drained, 

 limestone soil and should be inoculated 

 with Stimugerm. Sow in Spring or late 

 Summer, 20 lbs. per acre. 



Alsike. Excellent hay Clover, thriving on 

 poorly drained and slightly acid soils. 

 Sow in early Spring, 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. 



Crimson. A quick growing annual Clover, 

 used on light soils as a green manure. 

 Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



Medium Bed. The old standby and one of 

 the most valuable for hay, pasture, and 

 green manure. Thrives best on well 

 drained, sweet soil. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. 

 per acre. 



Mammoth Bed. Grows larger, yields 

 heavier, and is a little hardier, particu- 

 larly on damp soils, than the common 

 Medium Red. Matures with Timothy. 

 Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



Hubaxn or Annual White Sweet. A strain 

 of White Sweet Clover that produces a 

 large yield of good hay in one season. 

 Excellent for bees and a good soil en- 

 richer. 



White Sweet Clover. Biennial; makes good 

 hay and forage; thrives on poorer soil 

 than any other Clover and is considered 

 the greatest of all soil enrichers. For 

 hay, sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



White Dutch Clover. Excellent for lawns 

 and pastures. 



Soil and crop experts agree that Stimu- 

 germ not only increases crop production 

 but aso greatly improves the soil. It should 

 be used on the seed of all legumes, like 

 clover, peas, and beans.

Hay and Pasture Mixtures 



AVe can highly recommend the following 

 mixtures of grasses and clovers for hay 

 and pasture. All mixtures are made up 

 from strictly first quality seed and can also 

 be used for planting vacant lots, orchards 

 and meadows, where a good heavy sod is 

 desired but not a closely cropped lawn. 

 When ordering state nature of soil on which 

 these mixtures are to be used. 



Permanent Hay Mixture. A special mix- 

 ture of grasses and clovers that will pro- 

 duce heavy yields of hay and is very per- 

 manent. Also useful for planting in or- 

 chards. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. 10 lbs., $3.25; 

 100 lbs., $27.50. 



Permanent Pasture Mixture. A special 

 mixture of long lived grasses and clovers 

 that will produce fine pasturage from early 

 Spring until late Fall. Also used for mead- 

 ows. 10 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $27.50. 



Green Manures 



Green Manure is the term applied to any 

 crop grown for the purpose of plowing un- 

 der. Green Manures are valuable in two 

 ways. First, the growing crop utilizes, 

 stores up, and when plowed under returns 

 to the soil valuable fertilizing materials that 

 would otherwise be leached away by the 

 rains. Second, certain plants (clovers, 

 beans, peas, and vetches), have the faculty 

 of extracting and storing up nitrogen from 

 the air, and when turned under such crops 

 add nitrogen to the soil in the best form 

 for the use of succeeding crops. 



For Green Manures the nitrogen gather- 

 ing plants, as noted above, are the best to 

 use, and of these cow peas, Canada field 

 peas and soy beans are most generally used, 

 although any of the clovers are good. Other 

 crops used for green manure are buckwheat, 

 rye and the millets. 



Where possible two crops should be 

 grown and turned under in one year, thus 

 saving valuable time. For this purpose rye 

 or vetch or both should be sown in the Fall 

 and plowed under the following June, when 

 cow peas, soy beans or buckwheat may be 

 sown for turning under in the Fall. 



AD CO MAKES MANURE 



Adco when applied to a pile of vegetable 

 matter makes excellent manure. See page 87.
