FIELD AND CLOVER SEEDS 
(At Market Prices) 
Here’s Contentment and Strength 
TIM OTH Y . Probably unsurpassed by any other 
grass for hay. Greatly relished by all kinds of stock. 
RED TOP. A valuable addition to sow with 
Clover or Timothy. Also put into lawn seeds. 
Emerson’s is fancy re-cleaned, chaff-free seed. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Sown on well 
drained land is most valuable pasture or lawn 
grass. This is fancy, 24 lb. to the bushel, seed. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS. A quick growing 
meadow or pasture grass. Also used in the 
more inexpensive lawn seeds as it gives a 
quick green. 
ORCHARD GRASS. One of the most desir¬ 
able grasses for pasture use. Succeeds well 
in shady places. 
ENGLISH PERENNIAL RYE. Well adapted 
to cool moist locations, producing a grass which 
is especially desirable for stock. Hardy, bright 
green in color. 
ITALIAN RYE. Different from the English, 
being larger, coarser in growth, and an annual, 
lasting only one year. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER. Larger and 
coarser in stem and flower than Red Clover. 
Produces a heavy rank growth. 
RED CLOVER. The popular variety used 
for meadow and pasture. Makes rich fragrant 
hay when cut in bloom, for cattle. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. A hardy perennial that 
makes wonderful hay. Does well on undrained 
or damp areas. Finer and more leafy than Red 
Clover. Green manuring with Alsike Clover is 
common with successful farmers. 
HARDY NORTHWESTERN ALFALFA. 
Here is a grass unequalled for soil enrichment. 
Alfalfa fed cows produce more cream. Hogs 
thrive on it, and for hens a good winter food. 
Alfalfa requires a sweet, well-drained soil. 
Three cuttings a year can be made from this 
deep-rooted plant that lives for years. Emer¬ 
son’s seed is noted for its purity and germina¬ 
tion, assuring you a successful crop. 
GRIMM’S ALFALFA. The same as North¬ 
western except that it may be a bit hardier. 
WHITE SWEET CLOVER. Grown for bees, 
hay, and green forage. A tall, rank-growing 
sort that must be cut just before blossoming 
for desirable hay. Also valuable as a pasture 
plant. Will cut 3 crops of hay a year and, 
being a biennial, lives only two years. 
CRIMSON CLOVER. An annual variety 
producing immense crops for forage or hay. 
Improves worn-out soils. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. Used for lawns. 
A low, close creeping clover with small round 
white heads. Stands close cutting.
