OLDS’ SWEET CLOVER 
(The Great Fertilizer and Hay Crop.) 
The Sweet Clover seed crop is estimated at 
47,000,000 pounds against a five-year aver¬ 
age of 53,500,000 pounds. There was some 
carry-over, but smaller than the average. It 
looks like a good buy at these prices. 
Sweet Clover should be planted for 3 rea¬ 
sons: CWis. Bulletin No. 178.) 
First—A Great Pasture Crop. When the or¬ 
dinary blue grass pastures dry up in midsum¬ 
mer, Sweet Clover keeps right on growing and 
furnishes wonderful pasture right through the 
drouth period. 
“Cows on Sweet Clover produce a splendid 
flow of milk. It will generally pasture a 
thousand-pound cow per acre for a period of 
about 4 months.’’-—Wisconsin Bulletin. 
Second—Wonderful Soil Builder. “Sweet 
Clover is an excellent crop for building up 
worn-out soils.’’—Bulletin 178. It grows 
faster than red clover or alfalfa and larger 
and the roots penetrate deeper into the soil. 
Third-—A Valuable Hay Crop. While not quite equal to 
Alfalfa it makes good hay if cut at the right time and cat¬ 
tle will eat it. The Grundy County and the Albotrea are 
the best for hay. 
Build up your withdrawn wheat and corn land with 
Sweet Clover. 
CULTURE —Sweet Clover is best sown in the spring 
with one bushel of extra early oats or barley per acre as 
nurse crop. It can also be sown successfully in June or 
July without a nurse crop or in corn at the last cultiva¬ 
tion. Fifteen Pounds of Seed per Acre is usually sufficient 
a little less for Grundy County as the seed is smaller. 
Inoculate the seed before sowing with Nitragin or Nod-o- 
gen. Use lime if your soil is sour. Most any well-drained 
soil is all right for Sweet Clover. 
GRUNDY COUNTY WHITE BLOSSOM 
COMMON WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
The best probably for pasture and for soil building and 
the most largely sown for all purposes. 
Prices—Old Gold Brand—By freight: V 2 pk., 70c; pk., 
$1.30; bu. (60 lbs.), $4.65; 100 lbs., $7.50; 500 lbs. at

YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
This is the large strain of Yellow Sweet Clover, biennial 
the same as the Common White. Increasing in popularity. 
Some say it is better for pasture than the White because 
it stays green longer. 
Prices—Old Gold Brand—By freight: V 2 pk., 80c; pk., 
$1.45; bu., $5.25; 100 lbs., $8.50; 500 lbs. at $8.25. Con¬ 
tainers free. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover has several outstanding 
advantages. First, it is three weeks earlier than the com¬ 
mon sweet clover. Thus the seed ripens ahead of most 
weeds. Second, while it grows to a good height and makes 
a good hay crop it is not as tall as the common and is 
much more easily handled. Third, it is finer and more 
leafy than the common and branches thickly about a foot 
above the ground. Fourth, it yields more seed than the 
common, several farms in Grundy County producing as high 
as 8 to 15 bushels per acre. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover is perhaps more like Alfalfa 
than Sweet Clover. It grows like alfalfa only faster and 
the hay is like alfalfa hay so that it is in fact almost a 
“White Blossom Alfalfa.’’ 
Prices—Old Gold Brand—By freight: V 2 pk., 70c; pk.,

ALBOTREA YELLOW BLOSSOM 
Albotrea is a strain of Dwarf Yellow Blossom Sweet 
Clover. Has been grown several seasons on the Wiscon¬ 
sin Experiment Station Farm and they think very highly 
of it there. They say it is much to be preferred to the 
regular Biennial White Blossom and they like it better 
than Grundy County. Three weeks earlier than the Com¬ 
mon White. 
Prices—Old Gold Brand—By freight: y 2 Pk., 95c; pk., 
$1.75; bu., $6.45; 100 lbs., $10.50; 500 lbs. at $10.25.

pk., $2.35; bu., $9.15; 100 lbs., $15.00; 500 lbs. at $14.75. 
Increase quality, quantity and yield of all legume crops. NOD-O-GEN bacteria assure heavy nodules 
on roots to gather nitrogen from the air. Enriches soil, increases protein content of plant, adds to the 
soil an average of 100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre. 
NOD-O-GEN is a pure culture of root nodule bacteria, grown on special food jelly in patent stopper 
bottles. Keeps cultures vigorous. Order according to groupings and specify sizes. Prices as follow:
