"DISCO" SWEET CLOVER 
FIVE REASONS WHY YOU 
SHOULD SOW RECLEANED 
AND SCARIFIED SEED 
It gives you quicker returns—pro¬ 
vides pasture same year you sow—puts 
into the soil what other crops take out 
—it is almost impossible to kill out and 
is the cheapest means of building up 
your farm today. 
TALL WHITE BLOSSOM 
MEULOTUS ALBA —This is by far the most popu¬ 
lar biennial variety. Under ideal conditions it will 
sometimes make a growth of 48 inches the first 
year, its usual growth being 18 to 30 inches. It 
stores up a tremendous quantity of reserve food in 
its deep tap root, which enables the plant to make 
a rapid and vigorous growth early the following 
spring. 
GRUNDY COUNTY, EARLY WHITE, 
DWARF WHITE, CRYSTAL WHITE 
Under these various titles, a dwarf growing typo 
of the biennial white variety has been distributed 
during the past few years. It is earlier, grows to a 
medium height, does not require clipping, matures 
its seed earlier and more uniform; is consequently 
easier handled. 
Sweet Clover 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
MELILOTUS OFFICINALIS— This variety is also 
a biennial, growing a hay crop the first year; 
flowers, bears seed and dies at the end of the sec¬ 
ond year. Stems are finer, inclined to be less 
‘ ‘woody’ ’ and have a larger proportion of leaves 
and fine branches, which naturally makes it a bet¬ 
ter pasture, and some farmers prefer it as a hay 
crop, although it makes less tonnage per acre than 
the White Blossom variety. 
HUBAM 
Annual White Blossom. Where it is considered 
desirable to have the crop make its growth, flower, 
form seed and die in one year, Hubam has ad¬ 
vantages. It certainly has a strong appeal to the 
honey producer, greatly increasing the available 
bee pasture. 
MISCELLANEOUS CLOVERS 
All our clovers are domestic grown. The U. S. 
Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant In¬ 
dustry does not recommend imported clovers, in 
fact warns farmers against their use, with the 
exception of Canadian grown seed. Not only are 
imported clovers less hardy, but they yield less 
and are otherwise unsatisfactory. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
Regarded as the most valuable of the clover fam¬ 
ily; a dependable all-around variety. Not only does 
it produce a heavy weight per acre, but richness of 
the roots in nitrogen gathering bacteria means added 
fertility to the soil. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Coarser and stronger growing than the Medium 
Red. Well adapted for hay, if cut early, but is 
mostly used as pasture and for fertilizing. 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER 
Produces the finest quality of clover hay; un¬ 
usually hardy, and well adapted for pasture. Thrives 
best on low and moist lands and is particularly well 
adapted for mixing with Timothy, as it will grow 
under similar conditions, and can be cured well if 
grown in this manner. 
WHITE or DUTCH CLOVER 
A dwarf close-growing variety, in demand for 
lawns and pasture. Fine for top seeding on old pas¬ 
tures. Improves feed value. Our price on this high 
quality seed is very reasonable. 
LESPEDEZA or JAPAN CLOVER 
A very valuable plant in the South, growing on al¬ 
most any kind of poor soil. We doubt very much 
if it will make any great headway in the North, but 
it is very cheap this year, and we recommend its 
being tried out in a small way. Should be sown at 
the rate of 25 pounds to the acre. 
The BARGAIN COUNTER 
Alfalfa and Sweet Clover Are Our Specialties 
Recleaning many carlots in a season, we generally have on hand many small lots not just good 
enough for our regular brands. A little off color, perhaps, or containing Pigeon Grass or a 
little Gumbo. We give real snaps in these. Write us about them.
