CLOVERS 
Clovers build up the soil and their use is essential to the 
rotation of crops and the fertility of soil. Clovers also 
furnish good forage and hay crops. The clovers listed 
below are northern grown, no imported clover being 
among them. These prices, like all farm seed prices, are 
subject to change with market fluctuations. 
MEDIUM RED (Trifolium pratense) More widely 
known and used than other varieties, being used 
principally for hay. Can be sown in either spring 
or fall. Can generally be cut twice each season. It 
grows from \ l / 2 to 2j4 feet in height. 
MAMMOTH RED (Trifolium pratense perenne) Similar to 
Medium Red, but of ranker growth and later flowering. 
ALSIKE (Trifolium hybridum) One of the best for mixing 
with timothy. It is very hardy and thrives in almost 
any climate. Sow eajdy in the spring or in late summer 
or early fall. The flower resembles white clover, but is 
larger and has a tinge of red. 
WHITE or WHITE DUTCH (Trifolium repens) Valuable 
for pasturage as well as for lawns, as it thrives almost 
anywhere and owing to its creeping habits it succeeds { 
where others die out. Can be sown at any season. 
SWEET CLOVER — WHITE BLOSSOM (Melilotus alba) May 
be seeded in the spring, summer or fall. The cheapest 
soil renovator, hay or pasture crop. Grows very rank. 
If permanent pasture is wanted, seed two years and 
always allow last crop to reseed itself. Fine pasturage 
when young. 
SWEET CLOVER, YELLOW BLOSSOM (Melilotus officinalis) 
Very similar to the white blossom variety, but not as 
valuable except for hay or pasture, as it does not benefit 
the soil as greatly. Better for pasture than the white 
blossom kind, and grows less rank. 
ALFALFA 
Once tried, alfalfa is found to be a profitable crop. Must 
be cut twice the first season to destroy weeds. Furnishes 
two or more crops each year when established. Alfalfa 
does not thrive on sour or acid soil. Therefore, be sure 
to test your soil. Sow at the rate of IS to 20 pounds per 
acre, either from April 1 to June IS, or from July 15 to 
September 15. A bushel weighs 60 pounds. 
GRIMM We offer only hardy, pure north¬ 
western grown Grimm Alfalfa. It is superior to 
other varieties by reason of its hardiness, with¬ 
standing all sorts of climatic conditions in north¬ 
ern latitudes.
