OLDS’ SWEET CLOVER 
(The Great Fertilizer and Hay Crop.) 
GRUNDY COUNTY WHITE BLOSSOM. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover has several 
outstanding advantages. First, it is three 
weeks earlier than the common sweet clover. 
Thus the seed ripens ahead of most weeds. 
Second, while it grows .to. a good height and 
makes a good hay crop it is not as tall as the 
common and is much more easily handled. 
Third, it is finer and more leafy than the com¬ 
mon and branches thickly about a foot above 
the ground. Fourth, it yields more seed than 
the common, several farms in Grundy County 
producing as high as 8 to 15 bushels per acre. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover is perhaps 
more like Alfalfa than Sweet Clover. It grows 
like alfalfa only faster and the hay is like 
alfalfa hay so that it is in fact almost a 
“White Blossom Alfalfa.” 
The Sweet Clover seed crop was the shortest 
in 12 years or since this crop has been grown 
extensively. The latest government report we 
have estimated the crop at 30,000,000 pounds 
as compared to 41,400,000 in 1933 and a five- 
year average of 60,600,000 pounds. Order 
your seed early this year. 
Sweet Clover should be planted for 3 rea¬ 
sons: (Wis. Bulletin No. 178.) 
First—A Great Pasture Crop. When the or¬ 
dinary blue grass pastures dry up in midsum¬ 
mer, sweet clover keeps right on growing and 
furnishes wonderful pasture right through the 
drouth period. 
“Cows on Sweet Clover produce a splendid 
flow of milk. It will generally pasture a 
thousand-pound cow per acre for a period of 
about 4 months.’’—Wisconsin Bulletin. 
Second—Wonderful Soil Builder. “Sweet 
Clover is an excellent crop for building up 
worn-out soils.’’—Bulletin 178. It grows 
faster than red clover or alfalfa and larger 
and the roots penetrate deeper into the soil. 
Third—A Valuable Hay Crop. While not 
quite equal to Alfalfa it makes good hay if 
cut at the right time and cattle will eat it. 
The Grundy County and the Albotrea are the 
best for hay. Common Sweet Clover in Grundy County, Illinois.

CULTURE —Sweet Clover is best sown in the spring with one bushel of extra early oats 
or barley per acre as nurse crop. It can also be sown successfully ini June or July without a 
nurse crop or in corn at the last cultivation. Fifteen Pounds of Seed per Acre is usually 
sufficient, a little less for Grundy County as the seed is smaller. Inoculate the seed before 
sowing with Nitragin or Nod-o-gen. See pages 69 and 79. Use lime 1 if your soil is sour. Most 
any well-drained soil is all right for Sweet Clover. 
COMMON WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. 
The best probably for pasture and for soil building and the most largely sown for all 
purposes.
