OLDS' CLOVER SEED 
OLDS' HARDY NORTHERN CLOVER SEED 
(Sow 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre.) 
PLEASE NOTE: Our Clover Seed is all hardy northern grown and is 
eligible for Soil Conservation payments. 
The production of Red Clover seed in 193 7 was the smallest since 
1926. The 1937 crop is estimated at 25 to 35 million pounds. A large 
portion of the 1937 sowings, from which normally most of the 1937 
production would have been obtained, was killed or thinned out by the 
drought of 1936. The five-year average (from 1930-1934), was approx¬ 
imately 59,500,000 pounds. The carry-over of all Red Clover seed was 
practically nothing. It can readily be seen that there is only about 
one-half enough Clover seed for our normal requirements, and we urge 
all our customers to purchase their requirements early. 
TESTED SEED. Do not sow seed grown by your neighbor that has 
not been cleaned and officially tested. It is against the law in Wiscon¬ 
sin and it may prove costly for him to sell it to a consumer without 
having it tested and furthermore that is just the way you introduce bad 
weeds to your farm. Make sure all the seed you sow is thoroughly 
cleaned and that it shows a high test for both purity and germination 
with no noxious weeds. Many of our best dealer customers throughout 
the state ship us the clover that they buy of the farmers in their locali¬ 
ties and then buy back again from us recleaned, tested seed that they 
are sure of. Buy Olds’ Clover Seed and play safe. 
Insist on having Olds’ “Old Gold Brand,’’ “Known for Reliability’’ 
Clover Seed. Our seed this year is mostly all Wisconsin grown. We have 
some Idaho seed. It is very fine seed in every way, plump, bright and 
high testing. 
(Our Old Gold Brand represents the best and tests around 99.5 per 
cent in purity.) All Clover Seed is packed in bushel sacks which are 
free. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
Red Clover is the most largely grown and generally useful legume 
crop in America. In feeding value, the hay ranks next to Alfalfa and as 
a soil builder it is the equal of any and superior to most. It should be 
grown on every farm where soil and climatic conditions permit as it is 
well adapted to growing in rotation. Red Clover is grown chiefly for 
hay and occasionally for pasture to plow under to improve the soil. It 
is a biennial and will last for two seasons under good conditions. 
Requires a medium fertile to rich sweet soil with good drainage.
