HIGHEST GRADE CLOVER SEEDS 



Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago sativa). Alfalfa will 

 grow on any well-drained soil, but seems to pre- 

 fer the upland soils containing' an abundance of 

 lime. It yields large crops of the most valuable 

 hay. As a soil enricher, Alfalfa has few equals. 

 After a field has been put in Alfalfa for several years, it 

 is in better shape than it could ever be put by using tons 

 and tons of manure. Sow broadcast at the rate of 25 to 

 35 pounds per acre. We carry the highest grade north- 

 western-grown seed. Prices on request. 



Alfalfa, Grimm. Very hardy. Because of its root-system, it 

 will grow well over a hardpan soil, and is adapted to a 

 wetter soil than the other Alfalfa. We recommend 15 

 pounds of the seed, sown broadcast, to the acre, as its 

 stooling habit requires less seed to be sown than other 

 Alfalfa offered. Prices on request. 



Alsike or Swedish (Trifolium hybridum). This is one of the 

 hardiest varieties of Clover and the only Clover that will 

 thrive on damp or slightly acid land. It is finer and more 

 leafy than Medium Red but does not grow so high. It is 

 often sown with Medium Red Clover and Timothy, and the 

 quality of hay thus produced is excellent. Prices on re- 

 quest. 



Mammoth Red (Trifolium pratense perenne). Also known as 

 Cow Grass and Pea Vine Clover. Grows larger and lasts 

 longer than Medium Red. Valuable for reclaiming ex- 

 hausted land by plowing under as a green manure. Prices 

 on request. 



Crimson or Scarlet (Trifolium incarnatum). This makes the 

 earliest possible spring pasture, blooming the latter part 

 of April or May. The seed may be sown any time from 

 June to October, at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. 

 For feeding as hay, it should be cut just before it comes 

 into bloom. Prices on request.

Medium Red (Trifolium pratense). The most widely 

 grown of all the Clovers and one of the most 

 valuable. It makes two crops a year; the first is 

 usually cut when in bloom for hay, while the last 

 crop may be harvested for seed, cut for hay, or 

 plowed under to add fertility to the soil. Like all of the 

 Clovers, Medium Red does not exhaust the soil on which 

 it is grown but actually enriches it with nitrogen. It mav 

 be sown either in spring or fall, at the rate of 10 to 15 

 pounds per acre if no other grasses are used. Prices on 

 request. 



White Sweet or Bokhara (Melilotus alba). Biennial. Largely 

 planted on light, sandy soils for turning under to improve 

 the soil, and to inoculate it for future crops of Alfalfa. If 

 wanted for feed or forage, it should be cut when quite 

 young. Also a valuable bee-pasture. Prices on request. 



Hubam or Annual White Sweet Clover. Discovered at the 

 Iowa State Agricultural College in 1916, its valuable 

 qualities were recognized at once and every effort has 

 been made to save and increase the seed from the original 

 twenty-two plants. Hubam Clover is an annual form of 

 the White Sweet Clover, accomplishing in one year every- 

 thing- that ordinary Clovers do in two. It begins to bloom 

 in about 3 months after seeding and continues for several 

 months, attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet. It thrives on anv 

 kind of soil and, once started, it is not in the least af- 

 fected by the severest drought. Sow in early spring at the 

 rate of 2 to 3 pounds to the acre if sown" in rows, or 8 

 to 12 pounds to the acre if broadcast. Prices on request. 



White Dutch (Trifolium repens). Sow 8 pounds to the acre 

 alone. % lb. 20 cts., y 2 lb. 35 cts. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, 1 lb. 65 cts., 5 lbs. $3.00, 10 lbs. §5.50

HIGHEST GRADE GRASS SEEDS 



Prices on Grass Seeds subject to change without notice. Our Grass Seeds are the very best obtainable — we do not carry 



the cheaper grades. 



Of the Grass Seeds here offered there are various grades on the market — as many as five grades of some varieties. The 

 weight of the best grades of Grass Seed is in some cases double the weight of lower grades of seed, consequently there is a 

 corresponding difference in value and cost. We shall be pleased to submit samples. 



Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis). The well-known 

 standard American pasture grass. It thrives anywhere, al-

 used with other grasses but may be sown alone where a 

 very quick stand is desired. Sow (if alone) 50 to 60 pounds 

 to the acre. 1 lb. 35 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75, 100 lbs. $20.00.
