Clover Mixture—a Three Story Crop 
We have found 
from experience that 
a clover mixture will 
do more to turn un¬ 
der as a fertilizer 
than any one single 
clover crop, also will 
produce more pas¬ 
ture or hay. 
We can give you 
more for your money 
in this mixture than 
anything we have to 
offer. Some of these 
seeds we buy as 
mixed seeds. Seeds 
such as sweet clover 
and red clover which 
grow as a mixture 
and cannot be sep¬ 
arated, we buy at 
very low prices. This 
is one reason why 
we can sell this mix¬ 
ture which consists 
Of good Seed at a Note the wonderful growth. 
lower price than you could buy the seed separately and mix it. Oftentimes in cleaning 
seeds they become slightly mixed. These cannot be sold as straight seeds, but are 
good for mixtures. 
The alsike and Lespedeza grows very thick and close to the ground, the red clover 
grows a little higher above the alsike, and the sweet clover grows above the red clover, 
making a good three story crop. 
We sell this seed 60 pounds to the bushel. It consists of 15 pounds of red clover, 10 
pounds of alsike and 15 pounds of sweet clover, 10 lbs. alfalfa, 10 lbs. Korea Lespedeza. 
Approximate price, subject to market change, $8.00 per bushel. Be sure to order some 
of this mixture this year. 
Pasture Mixture 
Every season we have calls for a good pasture mixture. We offer a mixture which 
we have sold for a good many years which has given very good success. This mixture 
consists of 9 pounds of red clover, 7 pounds alsike, 8 pounds sweet clover, 10 pounds timothy, 
10 pounds Lespedeza, 4 pounds Red Top, and 2 pounds Kentucky Blue Grass. We sell this 
50 pounds to a bushel. Sow 8 pounds per acre on average soil. Get this mixture. The 
sweet clover will make you an early pasture, the red clover will come in next and the alsike 
next. The timothy will not make much of a growth until towards fall, but if the red clover 
and sweet clover have been eaten, the timothy, Lespedeza and red top will make fine late 
fall pastures. Approximate price, $6.25 per bushel, subject to market change. 
Timothy 
Timothy seed is the scarcest item in the seed line this year and is just a sample of what 
most of the seeds will be, before seeding time is over. Our Timothy seed is all Central 
Illinois grown. We could have sold every pound we had and did sell several car load lots 
to the wholesale trade for spring delivery. We have future orders from the State for 
about 400 bushels timothy, 11,000 pounds Kentucky Blue Grass and 8,600 pounds of Red 
Top. We were offered more orders from the State on all these items but had to reduce 
quantity this year being able to furnish only this amount. Prices quoted are subject to 
Stock on Hand as there simply is no timothy seed to be had and it is something which 
cannot be manufactured. For price see page 35. 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan is one of the best emergency feed, pasture and hay crop. It belongs to the 
sorghum family, containing quite a lot of sugar. Sow five pounds of Sudan with soy 
beans or cow peas and you will have a very rich feed. The soy beans and peas supplying 
the protein which makes bone and muscle, the Sudan furnishing the sugar which makes fat. 
Prices very low. In the past we have sold Sudan for 20 cents per lb. while today it is worth 
less than one-fourth the amount. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre, about May 1st. Price small lots 
714 cents per 11>.; 25 to 100 lbs. $0.00 per 100 lbs.; 100 lbs. or over $5.50 per 100 lbs. 
Grohoma 
The Wonder Grain and Fodder Crop 
Grohoma is a drought resistant crop. It produces amazing crops of both grain and 
fodder. A great drought resister, very deen rooted, an exceptionally sweet stalk and 
wonderful feed value. Its growth averages 4% to 5 feet high. Seeding should be at the 
rate of 5 to 6 pounds per acre with corn planter, in rows, thinning the stalks to about one 
foot apart in the row. We especially recommend Grohoma as being one of the best of the 
newer introductions of the grain sorghum families. 
Price, Grohoma, Up to 25 lhs. 5 cents lb,; 25 to 100 lbs, 3 cents; 100 lbs. or more $2.50 
per 100 lbs,
