This mixture has been used year after year by 
successful farmers who want a low cost seed. We 
know what this mixture will do because we make 
it ourselves, right at our own plant. We know that 
it is made of strictly good quality seeds through 
and through. Use Economical Mixture for either 
hay, pasture or soiling purposes. These seeds were 
for the greater part produced in this mixed con¬ 
dition. That is why they can sell for less than they 
would if they were sold separately. 
Have you a special seed-mixing problem? 
Write to us and tell us about your seed¬ 
mixing problems. We can help you as we 
have helped thousands of others because 
we have the special facilities for proper 
seed mixing here. 
Crimson CLOVER 
Used largely for a cover crop and for plowing 
under for soil improvement. Lasts only one year. 
By sowing Crimson in corn or after an early spring 
crop, you can add an immense amount of humus 
and nitrogen to your soil. After sowing, cultivate 
and roll. Sow one bushel on 3 to 4 acres. You 
will get a better stand and more nitrogen if seed 
is inoculated—see page 11. 
White (Dutch) CLOVER 
For early spring grazing, plant this good pasture 
Clover. It is high in protein. It stands up under 
trampling. Furnishes plenty of nectar for bees. Is 
a real “creeper.” Constantly growing new plants 
because its stems form new growths when they come 
in contact with the earth. 
Korean LESPEDEZA 
Korean Clover differs somewhat from the common 
Japan Clover, mainly in its larger and coarser 
growth, and early maturity. Seems to be gaining 
favor in regions farther north than formerly. Is 
as yet too new for recommendation here, for locali¬ 
ties farther north than Delaware, perhaps southern 
Pennsylvania. Seems better adapted to sandy soils. 
Where suitable, makes hay and pastures on soils 
that will not produce other clovers. 
Japan CLOVER (Lespedeza) 
Makes but a small growth, except in southern loca¬ 
tions. Japan Clover lives in the south through the 
hot summer months, when other Clovers can’t. 
Thrives on poor land—broadcast 15 to 18 pounds 
per acre. 
“I am very much satisfied with your seed. 
Have used both varieties. Leaps Prolific and 
Pennsylvania 44. Am very sure that I will 
be satisfied when the harvest time comes 
around and I get busy with the 136 acres of 
wheat I planted. 
“You have given me always good service 
and your money-saving plan is great; just 
received your adjusting check the other day, 
thank you.” 
Bruno Mack, Maryland.
