Knee deep in clover—Red 
Clover at that. This picture 
■was taken the last of May. 
Funk Farms Red Clover has 
the quality and viability.to 
give real results. A fine clean 
stand. 
RED CLOVER 
Adapted Seed — Grown in U. S. A. 
We purchased our seed early and se¬ 
lected the bright, plump, choice quality 
lots. It was necessary to pay a premium 
for the kind of seed we'd use ourselves and 
the kind we knew our customers expect 
from us. 
Our plant is equipped with all the most 
modern cleaning machinery so that we can 
give you seed of high purity and free from 
noxious weeds. Good germination is your 
assurance of the start of a fine crop. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Adapted Seed — Grown in U. S. A. 
Also called Big English and Sapling 
Clover. A better soil builder than Red be¬ 
cause it makes more growth. Some of our 
old customers feel it is easier to get a stand 
of Mammoth because it will take hold on 
thinner soil and is a hardy, more vigorous 
grower. 
ALSIKE 
Count the acre cost when you buy Alsike. 
You only need about half as much seed 
per acre as you do with Red Clover to get 
a good stand because the seed is so much 
smaller. 
Alsike is a perennial. A fine pasture and 
meadow legume. Grows on more acid soil 
than Red or Mammoth. Survives on poorly 
drained, cold, wet land. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
Use Dodder Free Seed 
A legume that will grow on very acid 
soil. Fine for pastures because it readily re¬ 
seeds (south half of Illinois) itself and is 
very nutritious. A great crop to stop erosion. 
Seed 20-25 lbs. of seed per acre in spring. 
Funks seed is finest quality, high germi¬ 
nation, free from harmful weeds. 
POLISH RED CLOVER 
Forty acres of Polish grown Red Clover 
were seeded on the Funk Farms last spring 
for comparison with native seed. Both 
went into the winter in good shape. For¬ 
eign Red Clover, except Canadian, does not 
meet Soil Conservation Program require¬ 
ments. The price of our Polish grown seed 
is much lower. We have fine quality seed 
if you want it. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Used mostly for hog pasture and almost 
the equal of alfalfa in this respect. Cattle 
and sheep also make good gain on rape 
but there is some possibility of bloat. Not 
advisable for dairy cows because it causes 
an off flavor in milk. Does best on fertile 
soil. Seed anytime from March to July in 
oats. Ready to pasture in 7-10 weeks or 
when about a foot high. Makes good fall 
pasture.
