/^I /^"\/I7D Q17p*r^ Taken as a class, Clovers are the most valuable 
V^I^V-/ V £j1V OI-jIIiLy and popular of all grasses. Wherever rotation of

Every farmer understands the value of plowing 
under Clover sod, and the influence it has on future crops. Failure of Clover on any 
farm means loss of opportunity to gather nitrogen from the air at little cost— and also 
to cheaply produce great tonnage of hay, rich in protein, which is the flesh and blood- 
budding element of feeds. Quality of seed is very important to successful establish- 
ment of Clover. Our business is to furnish the right quality of seed, that will mean to 
its users cleaner and better stands of grass. 
Medium Red Clover. This is the best known Clover. Along with Timothy, it forms a 
combination from which nine-tenths of our hay is produced. It is invariably sown in the late Winter 
or early Spring on land that was sowed to grain and Timothy during previous Fall. By this method 
Clovers are started without any special preparation of the land. The culture given for the benefit of 
the grain having prepared the ground to receive the Clover Seed. 
The ideal time to seed Clover Seed, either Medium, Mammoth, or Alsike, is during late Winter 
or Early Spring, upon a day when the soil is honeycombed by frost. Seeded under these conditions, 
the first slight thaw will enclose nearly every seed and enable it to start its life of service. When the 
grain crop is harvested the Clover will be well established and at once make rapid growth. Sow 3 to 
6 quarts Medium Red Clover per acre when it is sown where Timothy also has been seeded. If Clover 
alone is desired, sow 6 to 8 quarts per acre. 
We offer three brands of Medium Red Clover. " Extra " is our standard brand— the best 
known and most widely used. Into " Extra " brand goes only the very best seed the crop affords. 
It is thoroughly cleaned by most modern machinery, free from weeds— tested— averaging around 99.50% 
or better in purity— soundest germination. " Extra " rivals the very best brands of our competitors. 
And is cleaner, purer, and more dependable than the seed traded in on the Toledo Seed Exchange. 
" Extra " brand will altogether please you. 
" Northwest " brand seed is produced under extreme weather conditions, coming from the far 
northwestern States. Not any cleaner or of sounder quality than our " Extra " brand, but because 
of its source, bears an unusual reputation for its liardiness, earliness and productiveness. 
" Safe " brand does not equal "Extra" or "Northwest," but matches the so-called 'first-grade' 
seed offered by many houses. Tests average 99 to 99.30%. " Safe " brand is ' safe ' to sow— while 
" Extra " and " Northwest " will please you no matter how critical you are as to quality. See Price List. 
PRICES HIGHER OR LOWER? Which way will markets move as the season advances? We don't know. 
As this page is written, markets show firmness. Supply of some Clovers is not large. Some houses predict an 
extra heavy demand. If it comes, the law of supply and demand might strengthen prices. On the other hand, 
the money situation coupled with foreign conditions, might hold values down. Whatever comes, we do not look for 
very extreme changes either way. And believe the wise farmer will apply Clover Seed liberally this year— for no 
doubt a good heavy stand of Clover will pay all of its cost.
