HUBAM CLOVER 



Annual White Sweet 



Have you become interested in that 

 wonderful new legume Hubam? 



Hubam grows under the widest 

 variation of soil and climate and 

 - smiles at drought after it gets it's 

 root growth. 



Hubam adds nitrogen and humus 

 to the soil, makes splendid summer 

 pasture, is a rich hay crop, and a 

 wonderful honey producing plant. 



Grows from 3 to 7 feet high in 

 4 to 7 months after planting. It 

 yields from 300 to 600 lbs. of seed 

 \. " ; , per acre so it makes a profitable 



seed crop. 



} Last year seed sold at $10 per 



"<SmWP^'"\ ' ,<; - " ' pound. 



Hubam is the new fast growing 

 annual clover about which so much 

 ;j has lately been published in the Agri- 

 :| cultural Press. Many believe it of 

 ■ such great value to the farms of 



j . i the country that is will revolutionize 



|^ , • ' ■ .' j crop -rotations. 



Hubam was discovered by Prof. 

 Hughes of Iowa Agrucultural Experiment Station. In 1916 there were only 22 plants. The 

 seed has been carefully multiplied, but it will take years to grow enough seed to supply the 

 demand. 



With the thousands of small samples sent out to every state in the Union it has proven 

 to succeed throughout the country. 



Hubam clover may be grown either in cultivated rows, in solid seedings with or without 

 a nurse crop. In cultivated rows 3 to 4 pounds should be used. To sow broadcast from 

 8 to 10 pounds is sown per acre. 



Early planting is desirable, the small plants will withstand quite cold weather and 

 will yield heavier crop compared with late seeding. March and April seeding is prefered. 



Hubam should be planted on a perfectly firm seed bed with a surface mulch of loose 

 soil. Never plant Hubam on a- freshly plowed seed bed. It does best on soil that is fairly 

 sweet or at least not strongly acid. It will stand a quite alkali soil: it loves the strong 

 lime soils. Inoculation is necessary for best results with this clover to benefit the soils upon 

 which is grows. 



Hubam should be harvested when about one-half of the seed pods have turned brown and 

 the first ripe seed is beginning to shatter. 



You cannot be too particular about getting the genuine Hubam seed. Some irresponsible 

 Seed Houses are trying to substitute the biennial Sweet Clover tor this which is worth 

 only one-tenth of the price of the Annual.
