Clover Seed 
Of all the crops grown on the farm Clover is the most 
important, not because of its market value and impor¬ 
tance as a forage crop, but its great value as a fertilizer. 
Farmers should use this valuable seed freely as there 
are many profits derived from it. As a forage plant one 
of the different varieties is adapted to every section of 
the country, and everything considered there can be 
no doubt that the Clovers are the most valuable of all 
forage crops. 
We sell only the very highest grades obtainable; 
highest in purity and germination. Why not grow a 
few more loads of hay from the same acreage. Sowing 
our GUARANTEED SEEDS will help you do it. We 
specialize in Clovers, and feel safe no one can offer 
better values, either as regards to quality or price. The 
most careful attention is given our Clover Seed, as it 
constitutes a large percentage of our entire Seed 
Business. 
By using good seed the grower will derive a real bene¬ 
fit, first from the hay crop, and greatest of all, the 
upbuilding and maintenance of his land. 
The sowing of Clover is absolutely essential to proper 
rotation of crops and to keep up the fertility of the land. 
The progressive farmer will sow Clover seed liberally in 
order to keep up the productiveness for other crops. A 
good crop of Clover will restore fertility to land and put 
more humus into the land than most any other crop. 
SOIL. Clover makes its best growth on rich, fertile, 
well drained limestone soil, but if the seed is inoculated 
will flourish on most any soil where there is sufficient 
rainfall. Clover will grow and flourish in a soil that is 
low in nitrogen as long as there is a sufficient supply 
of bacteria to start the plants until they have an 
opportunity to develop tubercles on the roots for the 
purpose of gathering nitrogen from the air and storing 
it in the soil. 
Domestic Brand Medium Red Clover 
“Medium Red Clover” also known as “June Clover” 
is by far the most important Clover in our country. 
Medium Clover is second to none as a soil strengthening 
crop, adding fertility to the soil, making it possible to 
grow larger and better crops of corn and other grains. 
It grows about two feet high yielding two to four 
tons of hay per acre. This is also valuable for pastur¬ 
ing. The long roots penetrate deeply into the soil 
gathering nitrogen from the air and storing it in the 
soil in the form of nodules on the roots, thereby pro¬ 
viding rich foods for crops, cereals, etc., which follow 
it. Quality of seed is very important. When sowing 
Clover seed be careful to sow nothing but pure, clean 
speed, which are plump and will germinate readily and 
produce hardy vigorous plants. Poor seed is the 
poorest kind of economy. Many farms and crops 
have been almost ruined by sowing low grade seeds 
containing noxious weeds. If you do not want weeds 
don’t sow them. Use our DOMESTIC BRAND 
CLOVER and you need not worry about polluting 
your farm with noxious weeds. Don’t fail to get our 
samples and prices before placing your order, as you 
will find nothing better than our DOMESTIC BRAND 
CLOVER. If sown alone use six to eight quarts per 
acre. Where Timothy has been seeded sow four 
quarts per acre. See price list. 
WHAT IS “DOMESTIC BRAND”? 
When we quote “Domestic Brand Clover” it means 
the highest quality that money can buy, no weeds, 
no chaff, just pure seeds that have been thoroughly 
cleaned and carefully tested.
