D. B. Red Clover, 99.75 per cent pure 
The average analysis of D. B. 
Brand Clover and Grass Seeds at 
various Experiment Stations was 
above 99.70 per cent purity. Part 
of the samples were drawn by the 
official inspectors, a few were sent 
direct by us, and over half were 
made for our customers. 
99.50 per cent pure or better. The best possible quality. Every bag tested by 
United States Government methods and tagged, showing 
our purity and germination tests. 
We continue our well-known policy of handling just one grade of Seeds, and 
that the best money will buy; nothing else goes into our warehouses and nothing 
but the best can therefore go out to our customers. 
Traveling men from the big recleaning plants of Chicago, Toledo, and other 
western cities tell us that we are the only firm demanding 99.50 per cent purity 
or better on all purchases. 
Sweet Clover. Biennial white Blossom is the commonest type of Sweet Clover, and the 
one which has come to the front so rapidly in recent years for forage, pasture, and soil- 
improvement. It will grow in almost any climate and on almost any type of soil, thriving 
on land too poor for Alfalfa or Red Clover. 
Medium Red Clover. The common Red Clover largely grown throughout the coun¬ 
try. This Clover requires well-drained soils to make its best growth, and is especially 
suited to rich bottom-lands or soils that have been heavily fertilized. If cut early it is 
easily possible in a good season to get two or three cuttings. 
Mammoth Red Clover. Compared with the Medium Red Clover, its flower, foliage, 
and stems are of darker color; it is later in maturing and of larger growth. When grown 
on rich bottom-lands or heavily fertilized soil, it makes a very rank growth and often is 
very coarse; hence the names Sapling Clover, Big Clover, or Pea-vine Clover. One of the 
best soiling crops. It is recommended for soils of ordinary or low productivity because 
here it will make a growth similar to Medium Clover on more fertile soils. A good stand 
of Mammoth Clover will last from 2 to 7 years, depending on conditions. Being 10 to 14 
days later than Medium Clover, it will mature with Timothy. 
Alsike Clover. The hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields 
enormous crops. Its greatest value is for sowing with other Clovers and grasses and is 
especially suited to sowing with Timothy. 
Timothy. The most valuable of all the grasses for hay, especially in the North. It is better 
adapted to clay than to sandy soils and is at its best on moist and fertile soils.
