All Clovers possess the property of transforming the free nitrogen of the air into soluble nitrates; in addition to the crop 
yielded, they all result in an improved condition of the soil. 
Medium Red Clover. 
This is the most popular and is 
regarded as the most valuable of 
It makes two crops each year. The first is 
the Clover family, 
usually cut when it is in blossom for hay; the last crop may be 
harvested for seed, cut for hay or plowed under to add fertility 
to the soil. It may be sown either in the spring or fall, and if no 
other grasses are used, at the rate of from twenty to twenty-five 
pounds to the acre. Hardy American-grown Seed. Lb. 60 cts., 
postpaid, 70 cts.; 10 lbs. $5, 100 lbs. $42.50. 
Mammoth Red Clover. Grows larger and lasts longer 
- than the preceding variety, 
and by some is considered superior to it for forage. American 
Seed. Lb. 65 cts., postpaid 75c.; 10 lbs. $5.50, 100 lbs. $45. 
Alsike or Swedish Clover. Thi ? i s ? ne of t he .h a , r 1 iest 
- varieties known; it will do bet¬ 
ter on moist land than any other variety of Clover. It is frequently 
sown both with Medium Red Clover and with Timothy, and the 
quality of hay thus produced is excellent. It is finer and more leafy 
than Medium Clover, although it does not grow so high. Lb. 
65 cts., postpaid, 75 cts.; 10 lbs. $5.50, 100 lbs. $45. 
White or Dutch Clover. This variety should be in- 
- eluded in mixtures ol seed lor 
pasture and it is the best sort for lawns; it forms a close herbage 
and remains green throughout the season. Lb. 70 cts., post¬ 
paid, 80 cts.; 10 lbs. $6.50, 100 lbs. $55. 
Wild White Clover Genuine Wild White Clover seed 
■-- produces wiry plants that are 
more permanent in character than those originating from com¬ 
mercial seed: the plants are smaller and they spread very much 
farther than the “cultivated” type. Being more robust, they 
withstand clover-sickness and they thrive on soils that would be 
too poor to support ordinary White Clover. Wild White Clover 
plants assist other Clovers and grasses growing alongside them, and 
European experience shows that the inclusion of so small a 
quantity as one pound of seed per acre in mixture with other 
Clovers and grasses for hay-fields and pastures is followed by an 
increase in yield amounting in some cases to 50 per cent or more. 
On breaking up a pasture in which it is included, the increased 
benefit to the soil is very marked. Oz. 65 cts., ^lb. $2, lb. $7. 
Alfalfa or Lucerne. Alfalfa possesses a wonderful root- 
- system, deep and strong; conse¬ 
quently it is a great drought-resister. Our seed is American- 
grown, produced in those northern sections of the country 
where Alfalfa has endured the extreme cold of winter in high alti¬ 
tudes. Lb. 60 cts., ppd., 70 cts.; 10 lbs. $5, 100 lbs. $42.50. 
filfimm Alfalfa There is some disagreement as to how 
-- Grimm Alfalfa obtained its hardiness, but 
there is no difference of opinion that it is hardy. Because of its 
root-system, it will grow well over a hardpan soil, and is adapted 
to a wetter soil than the common Alfalfa. We recommend 15 pounds 
of the seed, sown broadcast, to the acre, as its stooling habit 
requires less seed to be sown than the ordinary type. Lb. 
70 cts., postpaid, 80 cts.; 10 lbs. $6, 100 lbs. $55. 
Crimson or Scarlet Clover. £ his is an annual plant. 
-- It can be seeded at any 
time from June to October, at the rate of fifteen to twenty pounds 
to the acre, and makes the earliest possible spring pasture, bloom¬ 
ing the latter part of April or May, and for feeding as hay, should 
be cut just before coming into full bloom. Lb. 40 cts., post¬ 
paid, 50 cts.; 10 lbs. $3.50, 100 lbs. $25. 
W7L__ ? Seeds of all legumes will yield far better results if 
TT Iiy IIHM-Ulaie . inoculated with Stimugerm Jelly, and, in ad¬ 
dition, leave in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen which benefits all 
succeeding crops in the rotation. Even though you may see no apparent 
difference in the legume crop above ground, the plants produced from seed 
inoculated with Stimugerm Jelly will have many nodules on the roots. 
The uninoculated plant is not a soil-builder, but takes its nitrogen from the 
soil—defeating the very object for which you planted it. Always inoculate, 
and get the nodules that build up your soil fertility. Stimugerm for clover 
and alfalfa. V 2 bus. 35 cts., 1 bus. 65 cts., 2 y 2 bus. $1.40. When ordering, 
state the Clover for which Stimugerm is required. 
Sweet Clover or Bokhara Clover. ^ hlte Mehlotus. 
-- farmers are sow¬ 
ing this Clover to quite a considerable extent on light, sandy 
land, where other Clovers do not take well. They hope, by 
sowing Sweet Clover, to get a good growth to turn under to im¬ 
prove the land and also to inoculate the soil so that it will produce 
good crops of Crimson Clover and Alfalfa from seedlings of these 
to follow the Bokhara. For feed or forage it should be cut when 
quite young, for when it gets old, cattle do not relish it, and it is 
not of very high nutritive value. It is also largely used for sowing 
for bees. Lb. 35c., postpaid, 45c.; 10 lbs. $2.75, 100 lbs. $20. 
Xgllow . §weet Clover. fj“lb. r 35 
45 cts.; 10 lbs. $3, 100 lbs. $22.50. 
HnVmm Annual White Sweet Clover. Hubam is a variety 
- . 1 of Bokhara or W hite Sweet Clover which was dis¬ 
covered a few years ago by the Iowa Experiment Station; it 
has since been improved. While ordinary Sweet Clover, and 
most other Clovers, do not give a profitable return until the 
second year from seeding, Hubam will produce a bumper crop 
and attain mature growth in the first season. It will in six months 
yield a growth of from 3 to 7 feet, and in some cases 8 and 9 feet, 
this depending upon the locality, soil, and season. Hubam is 
even more drought-resistant than the ordinary type, and, like 
it, is the greatest bee-pasture known. We offer scarified seed. 
Lb. 50 cts., postpaid, 60 cts.; 10 lbs. $4.50, 100 lbs. $35. 
Sainfoin A deep-rooting leguminous plant, which thrives on 
_.* poor dry hillsides and on limestone soils, but gives 
splendid results also on good land. Usually sown in spring as a 
one-year crop, although it is perennial in some sections. Sow 
50 lbs. per acre, either alone or with a nurse crop. Lb. 55 cts., 
postpaid, 65 cts.; 10 lbs. $4.75, 100 lbs. $40. 
MpIiWiic inritVa (Annual Yellow Sour Clover). A legume 
- that is well adapted for a plow-under crop, 
excellent for building up soils deficient in vegetable matter. 
Used extensively in the Southwest. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. Lb. 
45 cts., postpaid, 55 cts.; 10 lbs $3.50, 100 lbs. $25. 
Japan Clover or Lespedeza. ^ st u ” e d if the^h! 
ern states, where it will give good results even on the poorest 
soils. Used quite largely for lawn purposes in the territory suited 
to it. Use 25 pounds of seed per acre. Lb. 40 cts., postpaid, 
50 cts.; 10 lbs. $3.25, 100 lbs. $22.50. 
PCupfc For pasture and hay-fields. Use 20 pounds 
Mixea clovers. per acre when sowing new land> but for 
renovating existing fields, use 10 pounds. Lb. 70 cts., postpaid, 
80 cts.; 10 lbs. $6, 100 lbs. $50.
