Clover 
ALSIKE CLOVER. Grows well on low, wet land where Red Clover does 
not thrive. It is a perennial and will last for a good many years, either 
for hay or in pasture. It makes fine hay of high feeding value. It is very 
valuable in pastures. Sow 3 to 5 quarts, or 6 to 10 lbs. of seed per acre if 
used alone. Seed of highest quality. 
Lb. 50c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $6.00; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $19.80; 100 Lbs. $33.00. Lowest prices will be quoted at any time. 
RED CLOVER, Medium. This is the common Red Clover, so extensively 
grown. A biennial in most places, living but two years if allowed to seed. 
It is usually sown early in the spring on winter wheat or with oats or 
barley, but can be sown in July or August. Sow 4 to 6 quarts or 8 to 11 
pounds of seed per acre. The seed we offer is American grown and the 
highest grade obtainable. Samples or analysis sent on request. 
Pk. (15 Lbs.) $5.85; Bu. $19.00; 100 Lbs. $31.40. Lowest prices will be 
quoted by letter at any time. 
Crimson Clover. Used very extensively for plowing under to enrich the 
land and as a cover crop. It is usually sown in August and will make a 
good growth before winter. It does not succeed when sown in the spring. 
It is not hardy and usually winter kills in the North. Extra fine seed. 
Pk. $3.60; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $12.00; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
SWEET CLOVER. Sweet clover makes a fine cover crop and should be 
used more extensively for this purpose. It will grow on rough land where 
alfalfa would not do well. It makes an immense growth and if cut before 
it is too ripe makes excellent hay. It is also valuable for pasture for hogs, 
sheep and cattle. The seed may be sown in the late fall and winter, in 
early spring or in the summer. For summer sowing use scarified seed. 
Seed not scarified germinates slowly and often lies in the ground along 
time without sprouting. Sow about 20 lbs. per acre. 
White Blossom. Very high grade Scarified seed. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $2.40; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $9.00; 100 Lbs. $15.00. 
WHITE CLOVER. See page 3. Used principally for lawns and sheep 
pasture. 
Lb. 60c transportation paid. Not paid: 5 Lbs. or more 50c per Lb. 
A GOOD INEXPENSIVE SEEDER 
The “Cyclone” is a practical broadcast seeder and should be on every 
farm. It is inexpensive, well made, easy to adjust and seeds evenly and ac¬ 
curately. We use one on our own farm. 
Price: $2.50 each postpaid. 
Grasses for Pasture and Hay 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. See also page 3. One of the best grasses 
for pasture and lawns. It starts to grow very early and remains green 
late in the fall. It does well on either high, dry land or places that are 
quite moist. The standard weight of a bushel of seed is 14 pounds, but 
the recleaned seed we sell weighs over 21 pounds per measure bushel. 
Lb. 45c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.60; 100 Lbs. $32.00. 
RED TOP. Fancy Recleaned Seed. See also page 5. (Called “ Hurds 
Grass” in the South.) Valuable for both low and high land. Grows 2 to 3 
feet high, and makes very good hay. We offer finest recleaned seed 
weighing 32 pounds per bushel which is superior to much of the Red 
Top offered. 
Lb. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.80; 100 Lbs. $24.00. 
Canadian Blue Grass. A more rapid grower than Kentucky Blue Grass 
and equally good for pasture, but not as suitable for lawns. This is an 
excellent pasture grass for poor dry land and should be used more for 
this purpose. Fancy high grade seed. 
Lb. 45c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.40; 100 Lbs. $30.00. 
Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass. Of great value for permanent 
pasture and for hay. Does best on strong land. Grows 2 feet high. 
Makes a finer and better quality of hay than Orchard grass. Sow 25 to 
30 pounds per acre if alone. 
Lb. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.90; 100 Lbs. $25.00. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass. A valuable grass for meadows and pasture. 
Does best on rather light soil but will grow well on heavier land. Starts 
very early in the spring and makes a rapid growth and on this account 
should be included in all mixtures for pastures and hay on light soil. 
Lb. 45c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.40; 100 Lbs. $30.00. 
— 25 Lbs. or more at 100 Lb. rate. 
TIMOTHY. One of the most popular grasses for hay and pasture. Sow 
6 quarts or 9 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. We sell only the 
choicest recleaned seed. 
Pk. $3.60; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $11.50; 100 Lbs. $25.50; Bag of 3 Bu. 
(135 Lbs.) $34.35. Price subject to market changes. Lowest price will 
be quoted at any time. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Timothy and Alsike Mixed. (25% Alsike Clover.) An excellent mix¬ 
ture to sow either for hay or pasture. As it requires considerable time 
and expense to separate the Clover seed from Timothy when grown to¬ 
gether, the mixed seed can be sold cheaper than the two separate. The 
mixture we offer contains 25% Alsike Clover. It is an unusually fine lot 
of seed much superior to most mixtures which contain only 11 to 15% 
Alsike 
Pk. (liy 4 Lbs.) $3.90; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $12.60; 100 Lbs. $28.00; Bag of 
3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) $37.50. Purchaser pays transportation. 
English Perennial Rye Grass. This is a desirable grass for pasture as it 
forms a heavy close sod and grows up quickly after being eaten or cut off. 
Good for hay if cut when in bloom and affords good pasture after hay is 
cut. Does best on moist and heavy soil. Use 25 to 30 lbs. per acre if 
sown alone. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.20; 100 Lbs. $18.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A strong growing, rather coarse grass, good for 
pasture and hay. Starts very early in the spring. Grows in tufts so 
should be sown with other early flowering grasses. Grows rapidly after 
being cut and affords good pasture within 10 days after cutting. Stands 
drought well as the roots extend deep into the soil. Highest grade seed. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.40; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
Other Grasses can be supplied. Please write for price on what you want, 
stating quantities required. 
MIXTURES FOR PASTURES AND HAY 
Where it is desired to pasture the land after cutting hay, it is important 
to have some kinds of grasses that will make a good growth soon after 
cutting and continue to grow until late in the fall. 
When the land is to be pastured and not cut for hay, other kinds of 
grasses should be used, as those which produce the best crops of hay are not 
as well adapted for pasture as others which make a thick turf. 
We have made up mixtures of the most suitable kinds of grasses to pro¬ 
duce hay and others to make permanent pasture. In these mixtures we use 
only seeds of the highest quality. 
PASTURE MIXTURES 
To get a really good pasture that will last for many years it is necessary 
to sow grasses that will form a close, heavy turf and such as are not injured 
by close cropping and trampling of animals. There are many grasses of 
this kind. Some start early in the spring and others continue growing late 
in the fall, so a considerable number of different kinds should be used in 
order to maintain a continuous growth for a constant supply of good pas¬ 
turage during the whole season. 
We have made two different mixtures for pasture according to advice 
of best authorities on the subject. 
Pasture Mixture No. 1, for dry soil. Composed of grasses best suited to 
make good pasture all through the season on dry land. We advise using 
25 to 30 lbs. of this mixture per acre. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.00; 100 Lbs. $26.00. 
Pasture Mixture No. 2, for moist and heavy land. The grasses in this 
mixture do best on strong, heavy and moist soil, and most of them will 
stand being flooded with water part of the time. Sow 25 lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.90; 100 Lbs. $25.00. 
HAY MIXTURES 
These mixtures are composed of such grasses that will produce large 
crops of good hay and make a quick strong growth after cutting and which 
can be pastured or cut again. These mixtures also contain both Alsike and 
Red clover. Will last for many years and give good crops if properly 
fertilized. Use 30 pounds of seed per acre. 
Hay Mixture, No. 3. For high and dry soil. Medium and light. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.80; 100 Lbs. $24.00. 
Hay Mixture, No. 4. For moist heavy and strong land. 
Lb. 30c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.60; 100 Lbs. $22.00. 
(25 Lbs. or more at the 100 Lb. price )
