SCARIFIED SWEET CLOVER 
Each year the American farmer must give more thought to 
the problem of maintaining the fertility of the soil on his farm. 
When his father or grandfather exhausted the soil on his Penn¬ 
sylvania or Ohio farm, he could go west and start again on 
virgin soil. For the American farmer of today there is no 
more west, he must keep his present farm. 
• SCARIFIED TALL 
WHITE BLOSSOM 
SWEET CLOVER 
Sweet clover is one of our most valuable pas¬ 
ture plants. It makes a good pasture two or 
three weeks earlier than almost any other grass 
or clover. It will stand close pasturing, in fact, 
if kept closely pastured it will continue to grow 
until freezing weather. 
Sweet clover hay is equal to alfalfa hay in 
feeding value. Stock like it just as well, and it 
will yield as many pounds of cured hay per acre 
as alfalfa. 
Sweet Clover planted alone or with small 
grain and plowed under for green manure is the 
best and cheapest method of keeping your farm 
fertile. White Blossom Sweet Clover grows taller 
and faster than any other and is the best for 
this purpose. 
Unless the seed is scarified you will have 
trouble with germination. Consequently, with¬ 
out one cent of extra charge to our customers, 
we are sending out only scarified seed. With 
scarified seed we often have 95 per cent germi¬ 
nation in a seven dav test. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 
90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.50; 60 lbs., 
$7.80; 100 lbs. $12.75. 
• YELLOW 
BLOSSOM DWARF 
SWEET CLOVER 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover is nearly as good 
as the white blossom variety for soil-building 
but produces a better forage and hay crop. It 
produces finer, leafier stems which are easily 
cured. It grows to a height of three or five feet 
and under favorable conditions produces two or 
three tons of fine hay to the acre. 1 lb., 25c; 
5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.50; 60 lbs. 
(1 bu.), $7.80; 100 lbs., $12.75. 
• GRUNDY COUNTY 
DWARF 
SWEET CLOVER 
This is a special strain of white blossom Dwarf 
Sweet Clover originated in Grundy County, Illi¬ 
nois, which has greater value for hay and pasture 
purposes than the common variety of Sweet 
Clover. It is three weeks earlier, ripening ahead 
of frosts, is leafier, finer stemmed and grows to 
a convenient height for hay purposes. The hay 
is of unusually good quality. 1 ib., 25c; 5 lbs., 
90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.50; 60 lbs. 
(1 bu.), $7.80; 100 lbs., $12.75. 
SWEET CLOVER FOR SEED 
Sweet clover for seed has been a very profitable 
crop, often paying $25.00 or more per acre for 
the seed, besides lots of hay and pasture. 
When raising seed the first crop is usually 
cut for hay. The second crop has plenty of time 
to mature, and being shorter and more branched 
will produce a larger crop of seed.
