friends, however, will not get benefit of these laws unless thej^ purchase their seed 
from dealers residing within states that have passed them. There is nothing to pre- 
vent seedsmen from states not having such seed laws from shipping their inferior seed 
into the state, where the new legislation is effective, only against dealers residing therein. 
Allow us to repeat, if you are not ready to order your seed when you have a new 
price-list at hand, ask us for new prices when you get ready to purcha.se. 
CLOVERS 
Medium Red. Known also as June Clover and Little Red Clover. It is the 
most popular of all grasses. Along with Timothy it forms a combination from which 
90% of our hay is made. Clover farming enters into the routine of all successful farm- 
ing. Any rotation that may be provided that will take into account the production of 
hay, pasture and soil improvement must include clover farming. The prominence of 
Clover, therefore, in all farm operations, makes the matter of high grade seed very 
important. Usually the highest grade seed is the cheapest and this is especially true 
m the matter of Clover. Our Extra Medium Red is high in germination and purity 
and we recommend it. See Latest Price List. 
Clover inoculation is profitable upon soils where clovers have failed for want of the 
proper bacteria in the soils. We recommend Farmogerm for this purpose. See page 27. 
Mamtnoth Clover, Also known as Sapling, Pea- Vine and English Clover. 
Like the Medium Red Clover, Mammoth is a perennial and very much like it in every 
other respect except that it makes a somewhat ranker growth and is a little more reliable 
on thinner soils. The seed is just Hke that of the Medium Red and cannot be distin- 
guished from it in appearance. We have been very successful in past seasons in getting 
the genuine Mammoth variety and we believe our present stocks can be equally relied 
upon. We sell only one grade of Mammoth and it is about equal in quality to our 
Extra Medium Red. Prices — See Latest Price List. 
Alsike Clover. This is one of the very best clovers, although it is not nearly 
so well known as Medium Red. It is a perennial and may be sown in the same manner 
as Medium Red and do well for either pasture, hay or soil improvement. It grows 
nearly as tall as Red Clover, is finer in its foliage and therefore makes a finer and 
better hay. It will thrive wherever Red Clover does reasonably well, and it ' 'catches' ' 
easier in thin .soils than Red Clover. The seeds are smaller than Red Clover, and for 
this reason fewer quarts need be sown per acre to get an equal setting. Alsike is largely 
sown in connection with Red Clover. That is, the two clovers are mixed together in 
the proportion of one part Alsike to two parts Red Clover and the most .satisfactory 
results are secured. There is no question but that Alsike will thrive under unfavorable 
conditions. It is an insurance against failure, to sow a proportion of Alsike with 
Medium Red Clover. Prices— See Late.st Price List.
