Mountain Grown Clover Seed 
White Dutch Clover 
Used principally for lawns because of its small, 
compact growth. White Dutch Clover is often used 
in pastures, making a palatable feed and can be 
cropped close. Very hardy under all conditions. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Medium Red Clover 
This is a good year to plant Red Clover. There is 
a plentiful supply of good domestic Mountain Grown 
Red Clover seed and the price is cheaper than it has 
been for years. This Mountain Grown seed is ex¬ 
cellent quality, nice, clean seed, and a good, hardy 
strain. 
In the past the bulk of the Red Clover seed used 
in this country has been imported from France and 
Italy. Tiie United States Department of Agriculture 
advises the American farmer that this seed is not 
adapted to his needs. All this imported Red Clover 
must now be stained, so that the farmer will know 
what he is buying. The result is an enormous in¬ 
crease in the demand for domestic Red Clover. 
Medium Red Clover is a valued hay crop and soil 
builder in the central states. Medium Red Clover 
does best on a well drained soil.

Mammoth Rod Clovor 
weeks later than Medium Red, gives a heavier yield 
of hay. Mammoth Red gives good results on poor, 
sandy land.

Medium Red Clover. 
Used in orchards as a soil builder, the Mammoth 
producing a longer stem and coarser foliage. Also 
used in pastures and as a soil builder, 
Matures two 
Alsike or Swedish Clover 
It will stand poorly drained, cold, wet soils very 
well. Where the soil is slightly sour or acid be sure 
to sow Alsike. It is especially good in pasture mixtures for wet 
land. Alsike is frequently sown with timothy to make a richer 
hay.

Sweet Clover 
Sweet Clover has proven to be one of the most economical and 
successful soil builders. The roots decay rapidly, adding much 
nitrogen and humus to the soil. The roots are soft, and give no 
trouble in plowing. 
Sweet Clover will produce a crop in all parts of the United 
States. It will grow on soils where alfalfa fails, on land too 
wet, too poor or too hard for alfalfa, and will frequently put 
these soils into shape for growing alfalfa. 
Sweet Clover is frequently planted with Spring or Fall grains, 
to be plowed under after the grain is harvested. It may be sown 
at any time, either with or without a nurse crop. 
Sweet Clover produces a heavy tonnage of hay to the acre. 
Tiie hay is not readily relished by stock, but has a high feeding 
value, second only to alfalfa. 
White Dlossom Sweet Clover (Diennial) 
White Blossom gives the heaviest tonnage of green manure to 
the acre. The foliage is sparser and the stems heavier, but it is 
a very rank grower and a heavy nitrogen yielder. 
Yellow Illossom Sweet Clover (Biennial) 
The Yellow Blossom lias finer stems and hay, making it the 
better bay crop. A little Yellow Blossom Clover is a valuable 
addition to a pasture mixture. Yellow Blossom is preferred for 
bee pasturage, as it blooms earlier than the White Blossom,

Alsike Clover. 
Orchard Crass 
A very heavy hay yielder, richer 
than Timothy 
and outlives it. Often sown with Alfalfa to give a 
stronger and better hay. It will stand drought or 
will do well in the shade. Orchard Grass gives a 
heavy tonnage in permanent pasture, furnishes the 
first green bite in the Spring and the last in the Fall, 
is quick to recover from close cropping, and even 
thrives better the more it is cropped. Not suitable 
to extreme high altitudes.

lliiham Sweet Clover ( Animal) 
Two years growth in one. Hubam Clover will produce, a heavy' 
hay crop with three months of seeding. It is an annual' plant, 
and produces seed the same year it is sown. Widely 
used as a green manure crop, especially in orchards.:

TiinoRiy 
Timothy is the old standard hay, and has been the. 
most widely used for years. Timothy is the best 
hay for horses on heavy- work, and there is no dan¬ 
ger of giving the horse the scours. Timothy is cheap' 
to plant, easily grown and of excellent quality. 
Meadow Fescue Bi^lrass) 
Extremely hardy and the best drought resister of 
all. While used extensively in all sections, in the 
mountains, in -the Middle West and on the Southern 
Plains, it is particularly adapted to clay and other 
heavy soils. It is a valuable grass on wet lands as 
it.grows very rapidly and tends to keep down the 
coarser grasses which naturally grow in such places. 
Will thrive when trampled by'stock, when Timothy 
and other grasses fail. Inclined to bunch unless 
sown thickly. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Thrives on clay and moist soils but not on poor or v 
light land. Timothy flowers in July and should be ;.', 
cut when in full bloom, later tiie hay becomes hard' 
and coarse. Cut Timothy 4 inches from the ground,- 
as most Timothy is killed by mowing too close. - ‘ 
Timothy should not be sown alone for pasture, but 
together with other grasses such as Meadow Fescue... 
and Red Top.
