CLOVER 
ALSIKE. Grows well on low, wet land where Red Clover does not thrive. 
It is a perennial and will last for a good many years, either for hay or in 
pasture. It makes fine hay of high feeding value. It is very valuable 
in pastures. Seed of highest quality. 
Lb. 55c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $5.30; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $19.20; 100 Lbs. $32.00. Lowest prices will be quoted at any 
time. 
MEDIUM RED. Domestic Grown. This is the common Rod Clover, 
so extensively grown. It is a biennial in most places, living but two 
years if allowed to seed. It is usually sown early in the spring on winter 
wheat or with oats or barley, but can be sown in July or August. This 
seed is American grown and the highest grade obtainable. Samples or 
analysis sent on request. Seed very scarce. 
Pk. (15 Lbs.) $6.50; Bu. $24.00; 100 Lbs. $40.00. Lowest prices will be 
quoted by letter at any time. 
MEDIUM RED. Northern European Grown. This seed is grown in 
the cool climate of northern Europe and will be found satisfactory 
for seeding in conjunction with domestic Medium Red and Alsike. 
1% of this seed is stained green. 
Pk. (15 Lbs.) $5.30; Bu. $19.20; 100 Lbs. $32.00. 
Crimson Clover. Used very extensively for plowing under to enrich the 
land and as a cover crop. It is usually sown in August and will make a 
good growth before winter. It does not succeed when sown in the 
spring. It is not hardy and usually winter kills in the North. Extra 
fine seed. 
Pk. $2.25; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $7.20; 100 Lbs. $12.00. 
SWEET CLOVER. White Blossom. Very high grade Scarified seed. 
Sweet clover makes a fine cover crop and should be used more extensive¬ 
ly for this purpose. It will grow on rough land where alfalfa would not 
do well. It makes an immense growth and if cut before it is too ripe 
makes excellent hay. It is also valuable for pasture for hogs, sheep and 
cattle. The seed may be sown in the late fall and winter, in early spring 
or in the summer. For summer sowing use scarified seed. Seed not 
scarified germinates slowly and often lies in the ground a long time 
without sprouting. 
Lb. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $2.60; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $8.40; 100 Lbs. $14.00. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. See also page 3. Used principally for 
lawns and sheep pasture. 
Lb. 55c; 5 Lbs. or more at 45c per Lb. transportation paid. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER (Kent Old Pasture). Wild white clover has 
long been used in England in their famous pastures. It resembles 
ordinary white clover in general appearance, but has less blossoms, is 
low growing and tenacious, forming a thick sward. Being a legume it 
adds nitrogen to the soil and will increase the growth of the companion 
grasses in the pasture. Should be in all pasture mixtures, 1 to 2 lbs. 
per acre is sufficient. 
Lb. $2.35; 5 Lbs. or more at $2.10 per Lb. transportation paid. 
GRASSES (or PASTURE and HAY 
25 Lbs. or more will be supplied at 101 Lb. rate. 
English Perennial Rye Grass. This is a desirable grass for pasture as it 
forms a heavy close sod and grows up quickly after being eaten or cut 
off. Good for hay if cut when in bloom and affords good pasture after 
hay is cut. Does best on moist and heavy soil. 
Lb. 30c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.40; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A strong growing, rather coarse grass, good for 
pasture and hay. Starts very early in the spring. Grows in tufts so 
should be sown with other early flowering grasses. Grows rapidly after 
being cut and affords good pasture within 10 days after cutting. Stands 
drought well as the roots extend deep into the soil. Highest grade seed. 
Lb. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.90; 100 Lbs. $25.00. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. See also page 3. One of the best 
grasses for pasture and lawns. It starts to grow very early and remains 
green late in the fall. It does well on either high, dry land or places that 
are quite moist. The standard weight of a bushel of seed is 14 pounds, 
but the recleaned seed we sell weighs over 21 pounds per measure 
bushel. 
Lb. 45c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.40; 100 Lbs. $30.00. 
Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass. Of great value for permanent 
pasture and for hay. Does best on strong land. Grows 2 feet high. 
Makes a finer and better quality of hay than Orchard grass. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.60; 100 Lbs. $22.00. 
RED TOP. Fancy Recleaned Seed. See also page 3. (Called 
“Hurds Grass” in the South.) Valuable for both low and high land. 
Grows 2 to 3 feet high, and makes very good hay. We offer finest re¬ 
cleaned seed weighing 32 pounds per bushel which is superior to much 
of the Red Top offered. 
Lb. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.10; 100 Lbs. $27.00. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass. A valuable grass for meadows and pasture. 
Does best on rather light soil but will grow well on heavier land. Starts 
very early in the spring and makes a rapid growth and on this account 
should be included in all mixtures for pastures and hay on light soil. 
Lb. 45c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $3.40; 100 Lbs. $30.00. 
TIMOTHY. One of the most popular grasses for hay and pasture. We 
sell only the choicest recleaned seed. 
Pk. $1.45; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $4.95; 100 Lbs. $11.00; Sack of 3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) 
$14.75. Price subject to market changes. Lowest price will be quoted 
at any time. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Timothy and Alsike Mixed. (25% Alsike Clover.) An excellent mix¬ 
ture to sow either for hay or pasture. As it requires considerable time 
and expense to separate the Clover seed from Timothy when grown to¬ 
gether, the mixed seed can be sold cheaper than the two separate. The 
mixture we offer contains 25% Alsike Clover. It is an unusually fine lot 
of seed much superior to most mixtures which contain only 11 to 15% 
Alsike. 
Pk. (11M Lbs.) $1.90; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $6.75; 100 Lbs. $15.00; Bag of 
3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) $20.00. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Other Grasses can be supplied. Please write for price on what you want, 
stating quantities required. 
MIXTURES FOR PASTURES AND HAY 
Cornell Pasture Mixture for 1937 
Formula for Permanent Pastures—Recommended by the 
New York State College of Agriculture 
This mixture has been developed as a result of much time and research 
to improve the permanent pastures of New York and is recommended by 
Cornell for permanent pastures in New York State and vicinity. It has 
been found that it will do well under a great variety of conditions 
of soil and moisture. It is composed only of high quality seed of the 
proper plants and includes Wild White Clover, one of the most im¬ 
portant plants in the famous permanent pastures of England. This mix¬ 
ture may be seeded either on plowed or harrowed land and when grazed 
properly will produce more high protein feed to the acre than any farm crops 
ordinarily grown for feed. 
Our mixture conforms exactly to the strict requirements of the Cornell 
specifications for the amounts of the various grasses and wild white clover 
and in most cases the seed we use greatly exceeds the minimum germina¬ 
tion and purity demanded. We use the best grass seed we can possibly 
obtain. Sample or analysis gladly sent on request. 
Leaflets issued by Cornell University giving specifications of the mix¬ 
ture and directions for fertilization, seeding and management of perma¬ 
nent pastures will be sent with each order. We will gladly send you a copy 
on request. 
10 Lbs. $3.40; 100 Lbs. $30.00. Purchaser pays transportation. 
(25 Lbs. or more at the 100 Lb. price) 
Short, thick turf makes the best pasturage. 
HAY MIXTURES 
These mixtures are composed of such grasses that will produce large 
crops of good hay and make a quick strong growth after cutting and 
which can be pastured or cut again. These mixtures also contain both 
Alsike and Red clover. Will last for many years and give good crops if 
properly fertilized. Use 30 pounds of seed per acre. 
Hay Mixture, No. 3. For medium and light, high and dry soil.
