FARMOGERM. 
A Field of Sweet Clover. 
ADVANTAGES OP SWEET CI.OVER. 
Consider the following facts: 1. It Is not a weed. 2. Like 
alfalfa it is rich in protein. 3. Will not bloat cattle or sheep. 
4 Equal to alfalfa for pasture. 5. Is a great milk producer. 
6.' Furnishes early spring pasture. 7. Contains more protein 
than red clover. 8. Pits well in the crop rotation. 9. Is a 
great soil enriching crop. 10. Better than any of the common 
clovers as a green manure crop. 11. Is a valuable plant for 
honey bees. 12. Prepares the soil for alfalfa. 13. Roots are 
soft and give no trouble in plowing. 14. Roots being tender, be- 
come Inoculated more readily than alfalfa. 15. Never damages 
cultivated crops. 16. Its roots decay rapidly, adding much nitro- 
gen and humus to the soil. 17. Grows and will produce a crop 
in all parts of the United States. 18. Seeds freely in both humid 
and dry sections. 19. Sweet Clover prevents erosion 20. Will 
grow under conditions where clover and alfalfa fail; (a) on low, 
wet, alkali and acid soils; (b) on hard, compact soils; (c) on 
poor soil, especially where there is lime. Last and best of all, 
it is the Dry Land Farmers' Salvation, furnishing him with 
green manure so necessary and so hard to apply except through 
the plowing under process.

Sweet WMte BlosBom — As Sweet Clover can be grown under con- 
ditions which are unfavorable to most forage or grazing crops, 
it is destined to become quite popular In our non-irrigated pas- 
ture lands This fact has caused our Agricultural Colleges to 
recommend it very highly. Inquiries for Sweet Clover Seed are 
yearly growing in number, as our farmers learn its true value. 
Sweet White Blossom, "Placer" Grafle— . ,, , 
Sweet White Blossom, "Quartz" Grade— This grade Is unhulled 
seed. Both high in Purity and Germination. ,. „ ^ 
Mammotli Biennial Sweet Yellow Blossom, "Peerless" Grade— The 
Teilow Blossom Sweet Clover belongs to the same family as the 
white blossom, not quite so vigorous in growth, but is at least 
14 to 21 days earlier, and has yellow flowers. 
RED TOP 
(Bight to ten lbs. to the Acre.) 
Solid Seed, "Peerless" — A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a 
good permanent grass, standing our climate as well as any 
other and consequently well adapted to our pastures, on which 
it should be fed close, for if allowed to grow up to seed the 
cattle refuse it On moi.st rich soil it will grown 2 feet, and 
on poor graveilv soil, about half that height. It has been 
grown successfully even on "alkali" bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. We do not handle the chaffy grade of Red 
Top, and offer only clean seed. ^ , , , 
Solid Seed, "Placer" — Excellent quality. Second only to Peerless. 
TIMOTHY 
(Eight to Ten lbs. to the Acre.) 
"FEERI^ESS" GRADE. 
As a crop for hay, Timothy Is probably unsurpassed by any 
other grass It is .greatly relished by all kinds of stock, espec- 
ially horses It yields more nutritive matter than any other 
glass or forage plant. It is not suited for a permanent pasture, 
as it will, in the course of a few years, run out. It Is, however, 
Well adapted to early spring grazing, as it starts up quickly in 
the spring and in favorable weather can be pastured in the 
autumn as well The largest crops of hay are raised on rich 
land. It Is not suited for llglit, sandy soil as well as some other 
grasses. pRjcES SEE BED INSERT— PAGE 80. 
Timothy. 
"Placer" Grade — This grade, 
like the above, is the plump 
native grown seed, unequaled 
by the stocks of most eastern 
firms. If you use large lots 
write for special price, stat- 
ing quantity you expect to 
use. 
Alsike Clover and Timothy 
Mixed — Where Alsike Clover 
and Timotliy are grown to- 
gether. and the seed is saved 
therefrom, it is impossible in 
cleaning to maice a complete 
separation of the two. On 
this account we purchase the 
seed for less money and we 
can sell it for less money 
than would be the case if a 
perfect separation could be 
ma le. Those desiring to sow 
Alsike and Timothy together 
can save considerable money 
by buying the seed of these 
two varieties together as 
originally harvested. This 
makes a splendid mixture 
for hay or pasture, with just 
enough Alsike Clover to 
make splendid hay for horses 
or dairy cows. 
BLUE GRASS 
(20 to 2.5 Lbs. to the Acre.) 
Kentucky "Peerless" — We wish to call particular attention to the 
cleanliness of our Blue Grass. As usually sold by most seeds- 
men it weighs 19 to 20 lbs. to the measured bushel. Our seed 
is throughly recleaned. 
Kentucky "Placer" Grade — Used extensively for lawns and park- 
ing streets; also makes excellent pasture or hay. 
Correspondence in English, German or Scandinavian. 
BROME GRASS 
(1.5 to 20 Lbs. per Acre.) 
Bromus Inermis, "Peerless" Grade — 
A wonderful drouth resister. A grass 
for the stoclc raiser. All cattle like 
it. Will drive out Russian Thistle, 
also Black Mustard. Drouth defying, 
frost resisting. Yields enormous 
crops of splendid hay and affords 
early and abundant pasturage. We 
have seen some very fine crops of 
Brome Grass and .\lfalfa mixed, 
which makes an excellent hay for 
hor.ses and cattle. Try It. These 
both mature and cure at the same 
time. Our Peerless grade of this 
magnificent grass is unequaled for 
purity and high germination, and 
less seed is required to the acre than 
any other grade.' From good seed, 
good crops grow. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS 
(20 Lbs. per Acre.) 
Or Western Rye Grass — Tliis is a valuable native grass, very 
hardy and makes good hay. Much valued for crop rotation. 
Seed about 20 lbs. to the acre, and do not cover too deeply. 
Some growers advise the mixture of Red Clover with this grass 
and for hay this assures easier handling In harvesting. It has 
proven a valuable crop in the Pakotas and also in Northwestern 
Canada. On account of the ^•ery short crop and scarcity of 
Brome grass this season. Slender Wheat Grass will be used 
extensively. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
(20 to 25 Lbs. per Acre.) 
"Peerless" Grade — ,\ valuable grass for pasture or hay land, and 
on account of its earliness is very valuable for a permanent 
pasture. It furnishes the first green grass In the spring and 
until late In the fall. When closely cropped it grows up very 
thickly and is ready for grazing again in ten to twelve days. 
When grown for hay. more than one crop can be obtained in 
one season, and when only one crop is cut the aftergrowth Is 
very heavy and gives splendid and rich pasture till late In the 
fall. It will stand drouth and is hardy. It grbws In tufts, and 
Is therefor best sown with Red Clover, rye grass, etc. It is 
well suited for shadv places, such as orchards and groves.
