RED CLOVER AGAIN IN SHORT SUPPLY 
For two successive years the red clover crop in this country has 
been exceptionally short, averaging less than 50% of normal. This 
means high prices for domestic seed. In view of this, we are again 
offering red clover grown in Northern France, the same strain we 
handled last season, which gave exceptionally fine results. 
In reference to the use of French red clover for soil conserving 
purposes, the following was issued by Mr. J. P. Hutson, Assistant 
Administrator to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, 
Washington, D. C.: “In the East Central area, Kentucky, Tennessee, 
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, 
Pennsylvania, and Maine, land will be classified as conserving, and 
the acreag'e in it will be counted in detennining the total acreage 
of conserving crops, when seeded to red clover, regardless of the 
source of the seed if the county committee determines in the late 
summer that there is a stand which will likely survive the winter.” 
French red clover is stained 1% green, which according to the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture means it is adaptable for this 
country. Staining is a method of identifying domestic and im¬ 
ported seed. 
We were fortunate in making a fairly good 
crop of Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover 
the past season. This is the most disease- 
resistant of all strains of red clover. We ad¬ 
vise early orders as we have never had suffi¬ 
cient quantity of this strain to supply the 
demand.

Virginia Northern Neck Red Cl over 
Rapidly becoming the most popular and dependable strain of 
red clover for the Eastern states. Seed produced in this section 
over a period of many years has become highly resistant to an- 
thracnose or mildew, making a large vigorous growth and with¬ 
stands the severest winters. Many of our customers have stated 
they would rather pay double the price for this strain over North¬ 
ern and Western seed. 
Both the U. S. and Virginia Departments of Agriculture recom¬ 
mend Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover for the Southern states 
ahead of clovers from other sections which are affected so serious¬ 
ly by anthracnose and wilt. 
From many letters about the dependability of this valuable 
strain of red clover we quote the following: “Wish to state that the 
Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover we received from you last 
year is the best clover we have had for years, and reminds us of 
the clover of years ago. It is well worth the difference in price.”

Northern French Grown Red Clover 
Produced in northern France, where the winters are more severe 
than throughout the Southeastern states. We have made repeated 
field tests of this strain of red clover on our experiment farm and 
have found it equally winter hardy and resistant to disease as seed 
produced in the Western states. Far superior to Oregon grown red 
clover, which is from a very mild climate (large quantities of seed 
from Oregon are sold throughout the East every year as American 
grown seed). Our French Red Clover is of exceptional quality, 
bright color, large berry, and high purity and germination. Prices 
are most reasonable in comparison to domestic seed. By mail post¬ 
paid, lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.55; 10 lbs. $2.95; 25 lbs. $6.65; 50 lbs. $13.15.

states; very winter hardy. Recommended for high altitudes and 
the Northern states. By mail postpaid, lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 lbs.

MAMMOTH, or SAPLING CLOVER 
Similar to red clover, the difference being that it grows larger 
and is later in maturing. It is considered superior as an improver 
on account of the extra growth. It is a good variety for thin soils 
or to seed with timothy, meadow fescue and herds grass. In ap¬ 
pearance the seed is identical with red clover, and it is impossible 
to distinguish between them. We always obtain our supplies from 
reliable sources, and use every reasonable care to supply mammoth 
or sapling clover as ordered. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the acre by 
itself; or with timothy sow 6 pounds of clover and 8 pounds of 
timothy. Another good mixture is had by adding 6 pounds of herds 
grass or red top to the clover and timothy. By mail postpaid, lb. 55c; 
5 lbs. $2.35; 10 lbs. $4.55; 25 lbs. $10.65; 50 lbs. $21.15.

ALSIKE CLOVER Srd£ 81te - 
Use in Every Pasture Mixture 
Alsike clover has plenty of leaf, grows thicker, is finer stemmed, 
makes better hay and more and better grazing than red clover, 
and will grow on soils too acid, too wet or too deficient in lime to 
produce a paying crop of other clovers. It is hardier and will 
stand uncut without deteriorating the quality of the hay better 
than other clovers. It is adapted to a variety of soils, succeeding 
on light upland and loamy as well as on bottom lands. The hay 
also contains a higher per cent of digestible protein. Particularly 
valuable for grazing, for it makes a thick undergrowth, greatly in¬ 
creasing the yield. If you have not succeeded in getting a stand of 
other clovers because your land is acid or moist, sow alsike.

WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
A Real Soil Builder 
There is probably no crop that will improve soil fertility as fast 
as sweet clover if a reasonable stand and growth is obtained. 
Sweet clover will grow on any type of soil, provided it is well 
limed and inoculated, and like all other crops it responds readily 
and profitably to fertilizer and manure. 
When sowing sweet clover in the spring some nurse crop should 
always be used, as it does not compete strongly with weeds, and 
when sown alone it is likely to be killed out. Any of the early 
small grains, such as Burt and Fulghum oats or a fall-sown grain 
are the best nurse crops for sweet clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per 
acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.10; 10 lbs. $2.05; 25 lbs. 
$4.40; 50 lbs. $8.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 to 24 lbs. 17c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 15c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 1414 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
WEFD or Florida, Clover — A nitrogen-gatherer, 
makes a hay rich in protein and relished 
by stock, and is of real value on thin sandy land and pine barrens 
for pasture or hay; it is even more fattening than alfalfa and 
cowpeas; makes a fine cover crop, especially for orchards. Sow 
when frost is over 3 to 4 lbs. to the acre, in 3-foot drills or 10 to 
12 lbs. broadcast. By mail postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.90; 10 lbs. 
$3.65; 25 lbs. $8.40; 50 lbs. $16.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 to 24 lbs. 33o per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 31c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 30c per lb. No charge for bags.
