Clovers 
RED CLOVER —The standard clover for all 
purposes. Makes an excellent hay when 
mixed with timothy. Succeeds well on 
most any soil. Inoculate seed before plant¬ 
ing and you’ll be sure to get a stand. Lb. 
35c; 10 lbs. $3.00 postpaid. Write for 
quantity prices. 
ALSIKE CLOVER— This is a perennial adapted 
for hay or pasture. A valuable crop for 
bee pasture. Does well either on poor dry 
soils or in wet rich soil. Being finer, 
brighter and not so dusty. Alsike hay is 
preferred to Red Clover. Inoculate all 
clovers and be sure of getting a stand. 
Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50 postpaid. Write for 
quantity prices. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER —Sweet clover is one of the most important soil im¬ 
proving crops. Withstands adverse conditions of soil and weather better than alfalfa 
and red clover. Does not winterkill. Produces more on this land than alfalfa and red 
clover and is equal to alfalfa and red clover in nutritive value. Sow it for hay, pas¬ 
turage and soil improvement. Sow it for pasturing hogs and cattle—they all like it. 
Sow it on lands too poor, too worn out, too sandy for other crops and bring the land into 
condition to produce profitable crops. You can sow it on your fall-sown grain without 
preparation, except harrowing. Make the seedbed fine and compact and cover the seed 
lightly. Inoculate with Nitragin. See page 25. Plant 20 pounds to the acre from Feb¬ 
ruary to March. We offer only scarified, hulled, fancy seed, free of dodder, of high pur¬ 
ity and germination. Scarifying raises the germination percentage, which is very low 
on untreated seed. Prices postpaid: Lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.25. Write for quantity prices. 
“ Ladino Clover “ 
The Greatest Pasture Clover Grown 
Ladino Clover 
Ladino Clover will pasture more cattle and 
hogs than any other clover. Ladino is a peren¬ 
nial white clover that grows from 12 to 18 
inches tall, producing a most palatable forage 
for cattle, sheep and hogs. Ladino increases 
milk flow, improves soil, will thrive on shallow 
moist soils and is the first clover to awaken 
in the spring and the last plant to quit in the 
fall. Ladino clover should be sown in the spring 
for best results. Prepare the soil early and 
have it in readiness for sowing. The applica¬ 
tion of superphosphate or sulphur to the soil 
will quicken the young growth and promote a 
heavier and sturdier stand. Sow 6 pounds of 
seed per acre, harrowing in lightly. It is not 
necessary to grow a nurse crop with Ladino, 
although many growers plant Rye Grass, Or¬ 
chard Grass or Fescue with the Ladino, claim¬ 
ing that it will prevent bloating. We believe 
this a good practice.

ture Grade seed (contains some alsike and white Dutch clover, which is not objectionable

No luck with Alfalfa? Inoculate your seed with NITRAGIN and get line, sturdy stand.
