CHEROKEE BRAND CLOVER SEED 
Red Clover 
No. 384. Alsike Clover 
“Cherokee Brand” 
Represents a superior quality of Clover Seed recleaned 
and tested for high purity and strong germination. The 
sowing of clover seed is absolutely essential to proper 
rotation of crops and to keep up the fertility of the land. 
Inoculate all clovers with Stimugerm. 
No. 388. Red Clover 
This valuable perennial is not only one of the most ex¬ 
cellent Hay and Forage crops, but it is a great soil 
improver. Red Clover can be cut 2 or 3 years from 
one seeding, and on good land will yield two cuttings 
per year. When sown alone use 10 to 12 lbs. per acre, 
% to 1 in. deep. Excellent results are obtained by sow¬ 
ing for hay, a mixture of 1 bu. of Orchard Grass, 1 bu. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass with 8 lbs. of Red Clover to an 
acre. If to be used for pasture, an addition of 6 
lbs. Red Top or Herd’s Grass to the above mixture will 
increase the pasturage.

No. 391. Mammoth or Sapling Clover 
This is similar to Red Clover, both in appearance of 
the seed and its habits of growth, the difference being 
that it usually grows larger and is later in maturing. 
It is considered superior as a soil improver on account 
of the extra growth. It is a good variety for thin soils, 
or to seed with Timothy, as it matures about the same 
time. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre by itself or 6 lbs. of 
Clover and 8 lbs. of Timothy.

No. 392. White Blossom Sweet 
Clover 
Alsike clover grows thicker, has a finer stem 
than red clover, has plenty of leaf, and makes 
better hay and more and better grazing than red 
clover and will grow on soils too acid, too wet, 
or too deficient in lime to produce a paying crop 
of other clovers. It is hardier and will stand 
greater extremes of heat and severely cold weather 
than any other clover. It is adapted to a variety 
of soils, succeeding on light upland and loamy as 
well as on bottom lands; alsike clover hay also 
contains a higher per cent of digestible protein. 
Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre, ^ to 1 inch deep.

No. 385. Crimson Clover 
An annual of French origin, makes a growth 
from 20 to 30 inches high, has a bright crimson 
blossom from 1% to 3 inches long, and when in 
full bloom, is a thing of beauty. It is a winter 
crop, and should be sown in July, August or Sep¬ 
tember. As a manurial crop its worth in fertil¬ 
izer value is hard to compute, being equal to one 
to three tons of commercial fertilizer. 
Sow Crimson Clover on every piece of land that 
will be unoccupied by another crop next winter. 
Whether you grow it for grazing, for hay or for 
improving your land, it will pay handsomely. 
If sown at last working of corn there is no 
extra labor involved and the only expense is the 
cost of the seed. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, 1 to 
2 in. deep. Seed should be inoculated with Sti¬ 
mugerm. Write for prices. 
No. 386. White Dutch Clover 
This perennial does well in nearly all parts of 
the South. In this section it is indigenous to all 
kinds of soils. Is especially valuable and largely 
used in Lawn and Pasture Mixtures. It makes a 
small, close, compact growth. If sown alone, sow 
6 to 8 lbs. an acre ; more largely sown with other 
grasses ; in this case, use half the amount. Sow 
in either spring or fall, but not in hot summer 
weather.

(Scarified Seed) 
Sweet Clover (a biennial) is becoming more 
popular each year on account of the large amount 
of forage it produces. It can be grown very 
easily on almost any soil. When cutting for hay, 
cut it tall ; then you will have a good second crop 
as the tall stubble will bud out all around the 
stalk and many new shoots will start up. If cut 
low, within three or four inches of the ground, no 
second growth will result and the roots will die. 
This applies also to pasturing. Do not turn stock 
into Sweet Clover pasture until the growth is at 
least a foot and a half tall. If this is done, the 
new growth will furnish constant pasture all sea¬ 
son. Very valuable for bee pasture. Always ino¬ 
culate seed with Stimugerm. Sow 12 to 14 lbs. 
per acre, to 1 inch deep.

No. 393. Japan Clover or 
Lespedeza 
Recommended especially for grazing crop on 
waste or idle lands and worn out soils. Once 
started it soon spreads but does not become a 
pest as it is easily subdued by cultivation. Roots 
penetrate and break up hard sub-soils and gather 
nitrogen from the air. Relished by stock. Sow in 
spring or fall 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Can be 
sown with other clovers. Red Top, and Bermuda 
Grass.

No. 394. Korean Lespedeza 
This is well adapted for high altitudes where 
ordinary Japan Clover will not reseed. It starts 
earlier in the spring, has larger foliage, grows 
more rapidly, and is ready to graze before the 
ordinary variety. The roots penetrate about eight 
inches, making it highly drought resistant. Grows 
well on poor dry lands as well as acid soils.
