1053— RED CLOVER (Buck Brand)—Southern farmers are 
fast realizing the great value of this crop for pasture, for 
hay, as a soiling crop and for fertilizing, but many, have yet 
to learn the importance of quality in Clover Seeds. We sell 
an increased quantity each year, and our customers report 
most satisfactory results. This variety is largely planted in 
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and other Southern States, 
being admirably adapted to the hill parts of the South, 
especially the valley lands of North Georgia, Alabama, Mis¬ 
sissippi and states farther north. It makes two or more 
cuttings of hay each season, and is fine for pasturage in a 
combination with other clovers and grasses. Sow seed during 
the fall and spring, at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds to the 
acre. A bushel weighs 60 pounds. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $3.00 
1054— RED CLOVER (Mammoth or Sapling)—It greatly re¬ 
sembles the Medium Red, but grows coarser and more 
vigorous. It is the best clover for pasturage, as it will pro¬ 
duce an enormous yield and is of the highest feeding qual¬ 
ity, but not as desirable for hay. Specially desirable for 
hog pasture. 
1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.15; 10 lbs., $2.10; 15 lbs., $3.15 
1055— ALSYKE or SWEDISH CLOVER—This is one of the 
hardiest varieties known. It is perennial and does not 
winter-kill. It will do better on moist land than any other 
variety of clover, and is suitable for either hay or pasture. 
When sown with other grasses, it forms a thick under¬ 
growth and greatly increases the yield. It is frequently 
sown both with Medium Red Clover and with Timothy, and 
the quality of hay thus produced is excellent. It is fine¬ 
stemmed and leafy and thus is quickly cured. Sown alone for 
forage, 12 pounds per acre; in mixture, Alsyke 4 pounds. 
Red Top 6 pounds, Timothy 5 pounds. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $3.00 
1057—SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus Alba)—A variety of clover 
which, while young, resembles alfalfa, but on mature de¬ 
velopment grows from 4 to 6 feet in height. It is extremely 
vigorous and especially adapted to waste lands, though by 
many prominent farmers and stock raisers is used on good 
land for a forage crop. It is very vigorous in growth, stand¬ 
ing frost and drouth remarkably well, the tap root pene¬ 
trating the soil very deeply, and occasionally used as a 
drainage plant for wet soils. It will grow on almost any 
barren hillside, in bottoms, and is equally adapted to all 
good farming lands. Sweet Clover is one of the most val¬ 
uable crops for bees, being the main honey plant in many 
sections. Can be sown either in spring or fall, preparing 
and sowing as you would for Red Clover. Owing to the diffi¬ 
culty of getting clean seed free from Johnson Grass and 
weed seed, we have discontinued handling this seed in the 
chaff, and handle only the clean seed or hulled seed. Sow 
12 to 15 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 15 lbs., $2.25 
1066—HOP CLOVER—An annual found in Canada and most 
of the United States. Grows about 6 to 8 inches high and 
has a yellow blossom. Very similar to Japan Clover. Its 
differences are yellow blossoms instead of the purple of 
Japan. More upright growth. Its growing season is from 
very early spring until mid-summer, while Japan makes 
most of its growth from mid-summer to late fall. Feeding 
value is just as good as Japan. Hop Clover is especially 
valuable when sown very early with Japan Clover on Ber¬ 
muda sod or with any grasses, clovers or mixtures which 
do not make a heavy early spring growth. It is the earliest 
and fastest growing clover adapted to Southern soils and 
climate. 
1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.65; 10 lbs., $2.50; 15 lbs., $3.00 
1056— WHITE or DUTCH CLOVER—Largely used for sowing 
on lawns, mixed with Kentucky Blue Grass and other grass 
seeds, and is very valuable because it supplies nitrogen to 
the soil and increases the fertility and makes the plant root 
Red Clover in Blossom 
more available for the use of the grasses. It is of value to 
the summer pastures and should be used in all grass seed 
mixtures sown for either lawn or pasture. 
1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.55; 10 lbs., $4.85; 15 lbs., $6.75 
1060—CRIMSCN CLOVER—Succeeds on almost any good soil. 
Sown at the rate of 15 pounds per acre any time after 
August 15 and up to November 1, or can be sown between 
cotton or corn during August, using 6 to 10 pounds to the 
acre. Crimson Clover furnishes good hay and adds fertility 
to the soil. For best results, inoculate seed. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $4.90; 25 lbs., $7.50 
1059—BLACK MEDIC—Has similar soil and planting require¬ 
ments to the Yellow Melilotus. 
1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $3.00 
1064—MELILOTUS INDICA (Annual Yellow Blossom Sour 
Clover)—Sometimes called Sour Clover, and is becoming 
very rapidly recognized as a wonderful legume, especially 
adapted to plowing under for green manure. When planted 
in the fall it grows all during the winter and is just the 
thing to build up run-down soil and improve the yield of 
crops that would be planted on the land the following 
spring. It is used very extensively to sow to plow under 
as a green manure crop in the orchards of California, and 
is now being planted for the same purpose in practically 
every Southern State. It also prevents erosion during the 
rainy season. Not good for forage or hay, but is the cheap¬ 
est and one of the best cover crops. Starts early to grow, 
and is of good size when ready to plow under. Sow 15 to 20 
pounds per acre. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $3.00 
SPOTTED LEAF BUR CLOVER 
(Medicago Arabica) 
The demand for Bur Clover is growing very rapidly in the 
South for winter pasture. If you sow Bur Clover on Ber¬ 
muda Grass sod, this will give you green pasture all the 
year around. Disk over your Bermuda Grass and then sow 
Bur Clover in the fall. It can also be sown by itself. 
Bur Clover will grow on almost all types of soil and can be depended 
on to add humus and nitrogen to the soil annually without sacrificing 
the regular summer crop, and is one of the cheapest legumes that serve 
as a winter cover crop, if it is allowed to mature a crop of seed before 
plowing under it will reseed itself for a number of years. 
1062A—SPOTTED LEAF BUR CLOVER—Fancy hulled seed. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $3.00 
1062—SPOTTED LEAF BUR CLOVER IN BUR. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 15 lbs., $2.00
