THEILMANN SEED CO’S CATALOGUE 
SWEET CLOVER 
It is rather pleasant to be progressive and have one’s vision come true. When 
other seedmen were barely mentioning this plant, we were giving space to it in our 
catalogue. As a matter of fact we congratulate ourselves that no farm crop of 
any importance has appeared ahead of our own development, and usually we have 
been a little bit ahead of the times. For a few years after we began pushing this 
seed, many farmers were skeptical concerning it and many of them even considered 
it as dangerous weed. Not only has this feeling changed, but we believe the aver¬ 
age farmer knows SWEET CLOVER to be a valuable plant and is thinking about 
sowing some. Furthermore, in the beginning many of us considered it useful 
only as a fertilizing plant, while today it is coming to be recognized not only as one 
of the most extraordinary fertilizing plants in America, but as the most wonderful 
pasture plant we have. 
We find it difficult to cure for hay and greatly prefer pasturing it rather than 
cutting for hay. No plant which we have ever used equals it for pasture. It will 
easily carry one beef steer per acre throughout, probably the entire summer. It suf¬ 
fers less from drought than any other plant we know of, except Alfalfa, and stock 
rarely bloat on it sufficiently to cause any trouble. It is equally suited to pastures 
with hogs. Orchardists find it valuable as a cover crop, and its use seems to be 
spreading out constantly. Ask for prices.

INOCULATED Legume crops when not inoculated rob the soil; inoculated with the 
WITH right bacteria, they feed the soil, grow more vigorously and contain a higher 
NOD-O-GEN percentage of valuable feed proteins. 
Nod-O-Gen Easiest and Surest Form of Inoculation 
Nod-O-Gen is a scientific pure culture of root nodule bacteria, prepared on 
special food jelly in bottles with patent stoppers which permit the bacteria 
to live and breathe and maintain their vigor. Each culture contains plenty of 
bacteria to inoculate the quantity of seed marked on the bottle. The cost per 
acre is very small. 
Moreover Nod-O-Gen is easiest inoculation to use, requiring no equipment 
or experience. Takes only a few minutes. Complete directions on every 
bottle. Results are sure.
