RADIUM^RAND MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
Wisconsin and Minnesota Grown Seed! 
Clover still remains the backbone of agriculture. 
For building up the soil, for maintaining fertility, and 
for producing profitable hay and forage crops, Clover 
cannot be surpassed. All of our Clover Seed is Wis¬ 
consin grown, which is the finest obtainable. The 
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, Madison, Wisconsin, 
in Bulletin No. 175, states, “No state in America grows 
a_hardier strain of clover seed than Wisconsin.” Every 
farmer should write for a copy of this bulletin. 
Clover may be grown successfully on many fields 
where alfalfa fails. Clovers are partial to lime and if 
your soil is acid, it should first be limed 
well. It is economy to inoculate the 
seed before planting. Salzer’s Clover 
Seed, grown in Wisconsin, is not only 
famous for its hardiness but it is pure. 
To begin with, we are not bothered much with dodder 
and buckhorn, two of the most noxious weeds, so 
troublesome in some states, and then we have the 
most up-to-date seed cleaning machinery. All of the 
seed we send out is thoroughly recleaned seed, free 
from dirt and inert matter as well as weeds and for¬ 
eign seeds. 
Sow Clover liberally. Your farm needs clover. 
Your soil loses rapidly in fertility if you stop growing 
it. Nothing in the world can take the place of clover, 
and it is aptly said that “Red Clover may be styled 
the corner stone of agriculture.” Clover is an abso¬ 
lutely essential farm crop. 
Our Radium Brand Clover is about the finest obtainable. 
It represents the best and the hardiest, and tests around 
99% in purity; the most of it is D9%% or better, and it 
is free from noxious weeds. Our Superior Brand tests 
about as high, free from noxious weeds, but it is not 
quite as fancy in appearance. Wis. and Minn, grown seed. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
The most important of all the clovers. It lives two 
years or more, grows about two feet high 
and makes two crops a year, yielding 
about three tons of cured hay per acre. 
Clover hay is very nutritious, stock fed 
on it requiring less grain. Does well on 
a great variety of soils, thriving luxu¬ 
riantly on strong, well drained loams. It 
is the best for crop rotations and increases succeeding 
crops from 25 to 60%. Sow as early in spring as pos¬ 
sible. Wisconsin grown seed. Sow about 15 lbs. per acre. 
Bugs extra: % bu. size, 15c; bu. size at 20c each; 214 bu.

WISCONSIN GROWN ALSIKE 
Alsike can be grown on soil that is slightly acid or sour, where lime 
cannot be applied, and where other clover or alfalfa will not grow. It 
can be grown on heavy, wet or low soil that sometimes becomes water¬ 
logged, and it also endures drouth well. 
Alsike Clover is exceptionally leafy, frequently producing as much hay 
as Mammoth. Alsike is the hardiest of all clovers. 
Withstands the severest cold and does not readily winter-kill or heave 
out of the ground with frost, and readily reseeds itself. Grows about two 
to three feet high. 
This clover prefers damp, moist loamy soil, but it will also grow fairly 
well on stiff clays. Here in the Northwest it is extensively grown mixed 
with Timothy. Both varieties are well adapted for this soil and they 
ripen at the same time. Fine for pasture on low grounds, in fact, the 
only clover that will not kill out on water-soaked soil. Alsike does well 
if sown with grains, either spring or fall. Should be cut for hay as soon 
as it is in full bloom and for seed when two-thirds of the heads are ripe. 
Sow 8 pounds per acre. One of the best honey-producing plants. Bags 
extra: 30s (% bu. size) at 15c; OOs at 20c; new 150s at 35c; used 150s at 25c.

ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY 
MIXTURE 
Wisconsin and Minnesota Grown Seed 
Our seed is grown in this neighbor¬ 
hood where most of the farmers grow 
this mixed seed in preference to other 
grasses and clovers, as the two varie¬ 
ties are adapted for the same kind of 
soil, mature at the same time and pro¬ 
duce a larger crop of hay or seed than 
either planted alone. If you plan to 
grow for hay, then the Alsike-Timothy 
Mixture will give you splendid satisfac¬ 
tion. Sow about 12 lbs. per acre.
