A beautiful field of Red Clover. 
“DISCO” SWEET CLOVER 
FIVE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SOW RECLEANED AND SCARIFIED 
SEED. It gives you quicker returns—provides pasture same year you sow— 
puts Into the soil what other crops take out—it is almost Impossible to kill 
out and is the cheapest means of building up your farm today. 
TALL WHITE BLOSSOM 
M ELI LOTUS ALBA —This is by far the most 
popular biennial variety. Under ideal conditions 
it will sometimes make a growth of 48 inches 
the first year, its usual growth being 18 to 30 
inches. It stores up a tremendous quantity of 
reserve food in its deep tap root, which enables 
the plant to make a rapid and vigorous growth 
early the following spring. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
M ELI LOTUS OFFICINALIS— This variety is a 
biennial also, growing a hay crop the first year; 
flowers, bears seed an-d dies at the end of the 
second year. Stems are finer, inclined to be 
less “woody” and have a larger proportion of 
leaves and fine branches, which naturally makes 
it a better pasture, and some farmers prefer it 
as a hay crop, although it makes less tonnage 
per acre than the White Blossom variety. 
GRUNDY COUNTY, EARLY WHITE, 
DWARF WHITE, CRYSTAL WHITE 
Under these various titles, a dwarf growing 
type of the biennial white variety has been dis¬ 
tributed during the past few years. It is earlier, 
grows to a medium height, does not require 
clipping, matures its seed earlier and more uni¬ 
form; is consequently easier handled. 
HUBAM 
Annual White Blossom. Where it is consid¬ 
ered desirable to have the crop make its 
growth, flower, form seed and die in one year, 
Hubam has advantages. It certainly has a 
strong appeal to the honey producer, greatly in¬ 
creasing the available bee pasture. 
MISCELLANEOUS CLOVERS 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
Regarded as the most valuable of the Clover 
family; a dependable all-around variety. Not 
only does it produce a heavy weight per acre, 
but richness of the roots in nitrogen gathering 
bacteria means added fertility to the soil. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Coarser and stronger growing than the Medi¬ 
um Red. Well adapted for hay, if cut early, but 
Is mostly used as pasture and for fertilizing. 
WHITE or DUTCH CLOVER 
A dwarf close-growing variety, in demand for 
lawns and pasture. Fine for top seeding on old 
pastures. Improves feed value. Our price on 
this high quality seed is very reasonable. 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER 
Produces the finest quality of Clover hay; un¬ 
usually hardy, and well adapted for pasture. 
Thrives best on low and moist lands and is par¬ 
ticularly well adapted for mixing with Timothy, 
as it will grow under similar conditions, and can 
be cured well if grown in this manner. 
LESPEDEZA or JAPAN CLOVER 
A very valuable plant in the South, growing 
on almost any kind of poor soil. We doubt very 
much if it will make any great headway in the 
North, but it is very cheap this year, and we 
recommend its being tried out in a small way. 
Should be sown at the rate of 25 lbs. to the 
acre.
