D. B. BRAND 
CLOVER and GRASS 
SEED 
99.50 PER CENT PURE OR BETTER. THE BEST 
POSSIBLE QUALITY. EVERY BAG TESTED BY 
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT METHODS AND 
TAGGED, SHOWING OUR PURITY AND GERMINA¬ 
TION TESTS. 
We continue our well-known policy of 
handling just one grade of Seeds, and that the 
best money will buy; nothing else goes into our 
warehouses and nothing but the best can 
therefore go out to our customers. 
Traveling men from the big recleaning plants 
of Chicago, Toledo, and other western cities 
tell us that we are the only firm demanding 
99.50 per cent purity or better on all purchases. 
The average analysis of D. B. Brand Clover 
and Grass Seeds that were analyzed the last 
few years at the New York Experiment Station, 
the different New England Stations and the 
Seed-testing Bureau at Washington was above 
99.70 per cent purity. Part of the samples 
were drawn by the official inspectors, a few 
were sent direct by ourselves to prove our own 
tests, and over half of them were made for our 
customers from seed we had shipped them. 
Sweet Clover 
Biennial white Blossom is the commonest type 
of Sweet Clover, and the one which has come to the 
front so rapidly in recent years for forage, pasture, 
and soil-improvement. It will grow in almost any 
climate and on almost any type of soil, thriving on 
land too poor for Alfalfa or Red Clover. 
1935 CROP 
Medium Red Clover 
The common Red Clover largely grown throughout 
the country. This Clover requires well-drained soils to 
make its best growth, and is especially suited to rich 
bottom-lands or soils that have been heavily fertilized. 
If cut early it is easily possible in a good season to get 
two or three cuttings. 
Mammoth Red Clover 
Compared with the Medium Red Clover, its flower, 
foliage, and stems are of darker color; it is later in 
maturing and of larger growth. When grown on rich 
bottom-lands or heavily fertilized soil, it makes a very 
rank growth and often is very coarse; hence the names 
Sapling Clover, Big Clover, or Pea-vine Clover. One 
of the best soiling crops. It is recommended for soils 
of ordinary or low productivity because here it will 
make a growth similar to Medium Clover on more 
fertile soils. A good stand of Mammoth Clover will 
last from 2 to 7 years, depending on conditions. Being 
10 to 14 days later than Medium Clover, it will mature 
with Timothy. 
Alsike Clover 
The hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist 
soils it yields enormous crops. Its greatest value is for 
sowing with other Clovers and grasses and is especially 
suited to sowing with Timothy. 
Timothy 
The most valuable of all the grasses for hay, espe¬ 
cially in the North. It is better adapted to clay than 
to sandy soils and is at its best on moist and fertile 
soils.
