SWEET CLOVER 
Inoculation 
White Blossom Grundy County Yellow Blossom 
There is no better crop to build soil fer¬ 
tility. The deep roots of sweet clover bring 
minerals from the subsoil to the top soil 
where they are more readily available for 
following crops. Great quantities of neces¬ 
sary organic matter and humus are added 
to the soil. Inoculated sweet clover adds 
nitrogen to the soil. Sweet clover in your 
rotation is a big step toward a higher fer¬ 
tility level, bigger crop yields and an in¬ 
creased farm income for you. 
Be sure your soil is sweet. A little time 
testing soil may save many dollars worth 
of seed and acres of barren weedy land. 
Sweet clover will not tolerate acid soil. 
The last few years has seen an increased 
use of sweet clover seeded in corn at the 
last cultivation. The success of this method 
is subject to weather conditions of the late 
summer and early fall. Many successful 
farmers seed in summer with telling re¬ 
sults. 
HUBAM (ANNUAL SWEET CLOVER) 
Use Inoculation 
Makes seed the first fall after it is 
seeded. A good pasture and green man¬ 
ure crop. No trouble the second year when 
plowing corn. Many acres are seeded each 
year for "Bee Pasture" in conjunction with 
a soil building program. 
All of Funk's Sweet Clover and Hubam 
are carefully cleaned. The seed is free from 
noxious weeds and is of high germination. 
Our seed stocks were laid in early and are 
the choicest lots available. You'll have 
nothing but praise for Funk's fine Sweet 
Clover. Supplies of these choice lots are 
not plentiful. In other words, buy early.

Here is E. D. Funk and C. 
C. Chapman examining a 
plot of new, late maturing 
“Sangamon Sweet Clover”. 
This strain supplies later 
pasture than sweet clover 
now available. A small plot 
was seeded on the Funk 
Farms in 1937. Keep your 
eye on this promising de¬ 
velopment. No seed avail¬ 
able at present.
