1053— RED CLOVER (Medium Red Blossom) —Southern farmers 
j are fast realizing the great value of this crop for pasture, for 
hay, as a soiling crop, and for fertilizing. It is largely planted 
t in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and other Southern states, 
being admirably adapted to the valley lands of Alabama, Mis¬ 
sissippi, Louisiana and states farther north. It makes two or 
more cuttings of hay each season, and is fine for pasturage in 
11 combination with other clovers and grasses. Sow seed during 
the fall and spring, at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds to the acre. 
A bushel weighs 60 pounds. 
1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.95; 10 lbs., $3.75; 15 lbs., $5.40 
1054— RED CLOVER (Mammoth or Sapling) (Red Blossom) —It 
greatly resembles the Medium Red, but grows coarser and more 
vigorous. It is the best clover for pasturage, as it will produce 
an enormous yield and is of the highest feeding quality, but not 
as desirable for hay. Specially desirable for hog pasture. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.90; 15 lbs., $5.60 
1055— ALSYKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER (Delicate Pink)— This 
is one of the hardiest varieties known. It is perennial and does 
not winter kill. It will do better on moist land than any other 
variety of clover, and is suitable for either hay or pasture. When 
sown with other grasses, it forms a thick undergrowth and 
greatly increases the yield. It is frequently sown both With 
Red Top Grass and Timothy, and the quality of hay thus pro¬ 
duced is excellent. It is fine-stemmed and leafy, and thus is 
quickly cured. Sown alone for forage, 12 pounds per acre; in 
mixture, Alsyke 4 pounds, Red Top 6 pounds, Timothy 5 pounds. 
1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.00; 15 lbs., $5.75 
1057— SWEET CLOVER (White Blossom)—A variety of clover 
which, while young, resembles alfalfa, but on mature develop¬ 
ment grows from 4 to 6 feet in height. It is extremely vigorous 
and especially adapted to waste lands, though by many promi¬ 
nent farmers and stock raisers is used on good land for a forage 
crop. It is very vigorous in growth, standing frost and drouth 
remarkably well, the tap root penetrating the soil deeply. Sweet 
Clover is one of the most valuable crops for bees, being the main 
honey plant in many sections. Can be sown either in spring or 
fall, preparing and sowing as you would for Red Clover. Sow 
12 to 15 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.50; 15 lbs., $3.45 
1066— HOP CLOVER (Yellow Blossom)— An annual found in 
Canada and most of the United States. Grows about 6 to 8 
inches high. Very similar to Japan Clover. Its differences are 
yellow blossoms instead of the purple of Japan. More upright 
growth. Its growing season is from very early spring until mid¬ 
summer, while Japan makes most of its growth from mid-sum¬ 
mer to late fall. Feeding value is just as good as Japan. Hop 
Clover is especially valuable when sown very early with Japan 
Clover on Bermuda sod or with any grasses, clovers or mixtures 
which do not make a heavy early spring growth. It is the earliest 
and fastest growing clover adapted to Southern soils and climate. 
1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.00; 15 lbs., $5.50 
1056— WHITE OR DUTCH CLOVER (White Blossom)— Largely 
used for sowing on lawns, mixed with Kentucky Blue Grass and 
other grass seeds, and is very valuable because it supplies nitro¬ 
gen to the soil and increases the fertility and makes the plant 
root more available for the use of the grasses. It is of value to 
the summer pastures and should be used in all grass seed mix¬ 
tures sown for either lawn or pasture. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.90: 15 lbs., $5.60 
1060—CRIMSON CLOVER (Scarlet Blossom)—Succeeds on al¬ 
most any good soil. Sown at the rate of 15 pounds per acre any 
time after August 15th and up to November 1st, or can be sown 
between cotton or corn during August, using 6 to 10 pounds to 
the acre. Crimson Clover furnishes good hay and adds fertility 
to the soil. For best results, inoculate seed. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.50: 15 lbs., $3.45 
Red Clover in Blossom 
1062A—SPOTTED LEAF BUR CLOVER—Bur Clover will grow 
on almost all types of soil and can be depended on to add humus 
and nitrogen to the soil annually without sacrificing the regular 
summer crop, and is one of the cheapest legumes that serve as a 
winter cover crop. If it is allowed to mature a crop of seed 
before plowing under, it will reseed itself for a number of years. 
Fancy hulled seed. 
1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.95; 10 lbs., $3.75; 15 lbs., $5.40 
Sweet Clover-White Blossom 
SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus Alba) —Requires a lime soil— 
when lime is in the soil or supplied with crushed lime rock, 
this plant will furnish more nitrogen for soil improving 
for less money than any legume known. Inoculate the seed— 
it is the best clover to plant in preparing your land for alfalfa.
