★ 13 got some pictures taken of 
Yellow Sweet Clover and Al¬ 
falfa mixed sown of your seed. This 
field was a fine stand of hay and an 
average of 2 94 tons to the acre at one 
cutting. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and 
you can see how tall the hay was.”

the good satisfactory seeds you 
have furnished us with. My neighbors 
all have a good word for Hoffman’s 
seeds.”

SWEET CLOVER 
For Pasture, Hay and Soil Improvement 
Improve your worn-out fields with little labor and expense. Plant 
Sweet Clover. It’s a great soil improver. Will grow anywhere. 
A wonderful soil-enriching crop. Splendid for green manure. 
Rich in nitrogen. Easy to plow because its roots are soft and ten¬ 
der. Sweet Clover, under favorable conditions, gives a strong 
growth, supplies a winter covering and pasture in early spring. Al¬ 
though Sweet Clover will do well almost anywhere, note this: 
1. Sweet Clover needs lime. 
2. The seed should always be inoculated. 
Use the same amount of lime for Sweet Clover as you would use 
for Alfalfa. Sow about 20 pounds per acre. Cover the seed well. 
Our Sweet Clover has been scarified to quicken the growth. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
Plant this popular variety in the spring and you will get a fine 
growth of hay in the fall of the same year. This biennial White 
Blossom (Melilotus Alba) lives for two years, then dies. Planted 
either spring or fall of one year, it will live until the fall of the fol¬ 
lowing year. Let it go to seed and it will reseed itself and last for 
years. Invaluable for soil improvement, hay, pasture—and to inocu¬ 
late soil for Alfalfa. Seldom suffers from Clover diseases. 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER 
Yellow flowering biennial Sweet Clover (Melilotus Officinalis). 
Grows 21/2 to 3 feet the first year and 4 to 5 feet the second year. 
Preferred by some because of its finer stems. It makes a finer grade 
of hay or pasture. Stems nearly as fine as Alfalfa. 
GRUNDY COUNTY SWEET CLOVER 
An early dwarf strain of the biennial White Blossom Sweet Clover. 
Matures two weeks earlier. Has finer stems—makes a finer hay— 
more palatable feed—not as tall. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
Used largely for a cover crop and for plowing under for soil im¬ 
provement. Lasts only one year. By sowing Crimson in corn or 
after an early spring crop, you can add an immense amount of 
humus and nitrogen to your soil. After sowing, cultivate and 
roll. Sow one bushel on 3 to 4 acres. Inoculate the seed. 
These cattle are being pastured on 
Sweet Clover. 
★ 15 “I have used Hoffman’s Seeds 
for many years and found 
them free from weeds and just as ad¬ 
vertised. Sweet Clover (Grundy Co.) 
did very well. I like your seed corn very 
much. I filled two silos off of 4)4 
acres last year.”
