Sweet Clover, White Blossom 
Sweet Clover is rapidly coming into more popular use as 
its good qualities are becoming better known. The features 
that make Sweet Clover so valuable are its ability to thrive 
and produce good hay or a good pasture on poor soil, at 
the same time improve the soil on which it is growing. 
It is being used more and more through this section of 
the country for pastures, and the use will be more general 
when its ability to withstand drouth and to produce good 
green feed through the hot summer months is better 
i known. 
Almost every farm has a piece of land that is hard to 
farm, or the soil is too poor to raise a grain crop, that if 
seeded to Sweet Clover would produce a large amount of 
i valuable feed, and at the same time build up the soil. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover is the popular and standard 
variety. It is a biennial, growing from 4 to 6 feet tall.

Gypsum or Land Plaster 
In almost every section of the Northwest you can in¬ 
crease your yield of Alfalfa and Clovers from 25 to 75 per 
cent by applying Gypsum at the rate of 100 pounds to the 
acre each year. See page 29 for price. 
Clovers Add Nitrogen to the Soil 
But only when nodules containing bacteria are on the 
roots. These bacteria take the free nitrogen of the air and 
put it into such form as to make it available for plant use. 
If these bacteria are not present, clovers can do but 
little toward enriching the soil. To make sure that your 
clover has plenty of bacteria inoculate the seed when 
sowing. (See page 29.) 
It has been a set rule of our firm to furnish seed of high 
purity and germination for fields and gardens. We do not 
pretend to meet competition of uncleaned seed, or seed 
containing all kinds of noxious weeds, that destroy the 
profit of the farm. 
Spring Vetch 
Spring Vetch is used for the same purpose as Hairy 
Vetch, but must be planted in the spring. Lewis-Clark 
Quality, less than 100 lbs., 10c per lb.; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
Winter or Hairy Vetch 
This is a hardy, valuable crop for either forage or fer¬ 
tilizer. Thrives on nearly all soils and grows 4 to 5 feet 
long. Being a legume, it is a great soil-builder. Can be 
sown either in the spring or fall. When it is to be cut for 
hay, it is best to sow some grain with it to act as a sup¬ 
port. It can be cut twice, or used as pasture after the first 
crop has been taken off. Although an annual, it resows 
itself and will come up on the same ground for several 
years. Lewis-Clark Quality, 1 lb. 15e; 10 lbs. $1.40; 50 
lbs. $6.50; 100 lbs. $12.50.
