Cole's Seed Store, Pella, Iowa 



Medium or Common Red Clover 



Cole's "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 

 farmers 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, Plaintain, 

 Mustard, 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 vitality We have identical samples of this Seed tested and analyzed by the U. S. Experi- 

 ment 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. 



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

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 soing 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. 40 cts., 3 lbs. $1.00, by mail; by freight, pk. $2.25, bu. $9.00. 



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. 40 cts., 3 lbs. $1.00, by mail; by freight,, pk. $2.25, bu. $9.00, 

 bags included. 



Crop of Clover and Timothy very good. Price lower. Subject to change of market prices and 



sample on application.
