BBSp * - ’" ^ BB^ what it will do. My 
^ seed buyers have scoured the 
country for hardy adapted domes- 
B tic seed. We, also, have a limited 
A amount of genuine imported Chilean seed 
JSgg&pji^^ stained green. Not all green stained seed is 
the hardy Cl?ilean and beware of red or orange 
stained seed. Look at the test card to see that you get 
genuine Chilean imported clover if you are going to use im- 
ported clover. My seed is all adapted to your territory; it is 
hardy and of known origin. I will not offer any seed that I do not 
know definitely will give you results on yo'ur own farm. Please do not delay 
reserving your Ked Clover requirements as soon as you get this catalog. 
Seed of all kind is scarce this year, and 
particularly, good home grown Red Clover. I 
want you to read carefully what I say in the 
balance of this write-up about Chilean Red 
Clover, and then decide for yourself whether 
you are interested in it. 
This year, as you know, good home grown 
Red Clover seed is extremely scarce and very 
high in price. We have secured from the 
heavy producing territories as much native 
seed as we can get, and we started in early 
too. 
I have arranged with one of the most reli¬ 
able shippers in Chile, South America, to 
supply you with 500 bushels of genuine Chil¬ 
ean Red Clover seed grown in the valleys of 
the high Andes Mountains. It is similar to 
my MAYWORTH quality with a high purity 
and with germination of 90% or better. 
I am offering you this extra fancy quality 
seed way down the line in price. Prof. 
Hughes of the State College wrote me as 
follows: “From tests over a 4 year period, 
the results of which I have before me, it 
would appear that in the average year this 
clover might be expected to make about % 
the yield of our domestic clover. In one of 
the 4 years when conditions were very favor¬ 
able, it gave a particularly heavy yield and 
including this year, the Chilean would have 
a performance record a little better than 4/5 
of the average yield of domestic Farm Belt 
Clovers.’’ 
The last few years we have had plenty of 
good American grown seed but this year, due 
to the drouth, it is terribly scarce and for 
that reason, I have this one car for you. Gov¬ 
ernment regulations require this lot 
stained 1% green so you 
will know that it is gen- 4 
nine Chilean, suitable for 
this territory. The sup- « 
ply is limited. ^^B
