Clovers -- The Best Grades 
BUILD YOUR LAND WITH CLOVERS. In the rotation 
of crops, clovers are most valuable, and in all sections 
except possibly the extreme South are indispensable. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER (Trifolium hybridum). 
One of the best for mixing with timothy; it is perfectly 
hardy in every climate or soil condition and seldom has 
to be reseeded. Lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.20; 100 lbs., 
$30.00. 
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium incarnatum). This is 
used principally for soiling or green manuring, for 
which purposes it is highly valuable. If desired for 
feed, cut it just before it flowers. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
$1.75; 100 lbs., $15.00. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense perenne) . 
Sometimes called Sapling or Pea Vine Clover and Eng¬ 
lish Cow Grass. This differs from the "Medium," be¬ 
ing of a ranker growth and yielding more fodder per 
acre. Lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $2.90; 100 lbs., $27.00. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER, AMERICAN GROWN (Trifolium 
pratense). More widely known and used than any 
other; used principally for hay purposes. Height from 
18 inches to 2Vz feet. Sow early in the spring or in 
the late summer. Lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $2.90; 100 lbs., 
$27.00. 
WHITE DUTCH OR LAWN CLOVER (Trifolium repens). 
This is valuable for pasturage as well as for lawns; it 
succeeds where other clovers and grasses fail, and it 
seldom dies out. It can be sown at all seasons, al¬ 
though early spring is best. '/» lb., 20c; Vz lb., 30c; 
lb., 50c; 10 lbs. or over, 45c per lb. 
Sweet Clover 
The Greatest Soil Renovator, Hay and Pasture Crop 
BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba). A na¬ 
tive of all parts of the United States and Canada. It is 
an erect branching biennial plant with woody stems 
growing the first season 2 to 3 feet high and develop¬ 
ing a large root. The second year's growth usually 
reaches a height of 4 to 7 feet. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
$1.30; 100 lbs., $12.00. 
Alsike Clover is perfectly hardy

Ross’ Selected Seed Grain, Peas, Etc. 
When sowing Field Seeds, only the best obtainable should be used. The use of inferior seed is not only 
uneconomical but is decidedly dangerous. Seed that has not been carefully cleaned and graded by experts, 
and tested in germination laboratories is apt to contain noxious germination, and other weeds. 
No farmer would plant weeds knowingly. Make sure you are planting good pure seeds, by buying direct.

Barley 
WHITE HULLESS. About two weeks earlier than the 
common type. Closely resembles wheat, is about as 
heavy and is said to be nearly equal to it in feeding 
value. It has neither hulls nor beards. Price, pk., 85c; 
bu., $3.00. 
CHEVALIER. A two-rowed variety. Head is a little 
longer than the six-rowed varieties and the grain is 
larger, plump, extra heavy and in favorable seasons 
nearly white. Price, pk., 75c; bu., $2.50. 
MANSURY. In our section this six-rowed variety is 
largely grown for forage. It yields abundantly. It is 
early and very vigorous in growth. The straw is strong 
and stiff and seldom lodges. Price, pk., 75c; bu., 
$2.50. 
VELVET. Velvet Barley is a spring, bearded variety; the 
beards are smooth and no barbs. The yield is not quite 
so large as the Common Bearded Spring Barley, but 
the advantage of Velvet Barley offsets that. It is re¬ 
ported to us that the Velvet Barley straw is suitable 
for feed and the crop handles as nicely as oats. Sow 
two bushels to the acre. Price, pk., 75c; bu., $2.50. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Culture. Rape is best adapted to moist, rich soil in 
which there is plenty of humus. Slough lands are espe¬ 
cially good. It grows best in cool, moist weather and the 
time for sowing depends upon when the crop is to be used. 
When wanted for pasture, allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to 
attain maximum growth. Price, lb., 12c; 10 lbs., 90c; 
100 lbs., $7.50. 
Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
FOR THE SILO 
We believe every farmer, stockman and dairyman who 
must grow feed crops should plant a small area with Sun¬ 
flower. Start now to become familiar with this crop, 
which is destined to be a prominent feed in economical 
stock feeding. Price, lb., 15c; 100 lbs., $10.00. 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan Grass is strictly an annual and dies each year 
like millet. From seven to nine feet high, with very small 
stems. Stock prefer it. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Price, 
lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $9.00.
