SWEET CLOVER 
The Greatest Fertilizing Plant in the World. — 
Above picture taken August 10th, shows result of 
forty-acre field sowed with White Kherson Oats last 
spring. Oats averaged 67 bu. per acre, and now look 
at the wonderful hay crop and pasture, affording 
abundance of feed from Aug. 1st to December; 
besides, when turned under next spring, you are add- 
ing $10.00 worth of Nitrogen and Humus to every 
acre. Don't sow a bushel of small grain without seed- 
ing our Northern Grown White Blossom Hulled 
Sweet Clover with it. Sweet Clover seed has a very 
hard coating, which requires abundant amount of 
moisture to soften this coat — in fact, more than we 
usually get. Prof. Hughes has manufactured a ma- 
chine known as "Scarifier," which removes this extra 
heavy coat, insuring quicker germination. All our 
seed is scarified and will germinate very rapidly. Do 
not take chances on sowing seed which is not scarified, 
as the coating is so hard many seeds will lay in the 
ground a year before germinating. Don't take chances 
on a failure. All our seed is scarified and will ger- 
minate quickly the first year. Pound, postpaid, 35 
cents; not prepaid, ^ bu., $1.90; ^ bu., $3.65; bu.,
