Sweet Clover, White Blossom 
Sweet Clover is rapidly coming into 
more popular usei as its good qualities 
are becoming better known. The features 
that make Sweet Clover so valuable are 
its ability to thrive and produce good 
hay or a good pasture on poor soil, at 
the same time improve the soil on which 
it is growing. 
It is being used more and more through this section of the 
country for pastures, and the use will be more general when its 
ability to withstand drought and to produce good green feed 
through the hot summer months is better known. 
Almost every farm has a piece of land that is hard to farm, 
or the soil is too poor to raise a grain crop, that if seeded to 
Sweet Clover would produce a large amount of valuable feed, and 
at the same time build up the soil. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover is the popular and standard 
variety. It is a biennial, growing from 4 to 6 feet tall.

Clovers Add Nitrogen to the Soil 
But only when nodules containing bacteria are on the roots. These bacteria take the free 
nitrogen of the air and put it into such form as to make it available for plant use. 
If these bacteria are not present, clovers can do but little toward enriching the soil. To 
make sure that your clover has plenty of bacteria inoculate the seed when sowing. (See page 29)

It has been a set rule of our firm to 
furnish seed of high purity and germination 
for fields and gardens. We do not pretend 
to meet competition of uncleaned seed, or 
seed containing all kinds of noxious weeds, 
that destroy the profit of the farm. 
Winter or Hairy Vetch 
This is a hardy, valuable crop for either forage or fertilizer. Thrives on nearly all soils 1 and 
grows 4 to 5 feet long. Being a legume, it is a great soil-builder. Can be sown either in the 
spring or fall. When it is to be cut for hay, it is best to sow some grain with it to act as a sup¬ 
port. It can be cut twice, or used as pasture after the first crop has been taken off. Although an 
annual, it resows itself and will come up on the same ground for several years. 
Lewis-Clark Quality—1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.40; 50 lbs. $6.50; 100 lbs. $12.50.
