SOME OTHER FINE CLOVERS 
MAMMOTH 
RED CLOVER 
This clover is known by various other 
names such as Big English, Bull and Peavine 
Clover. It grows much ranker than the me¬ 
dium. It matures later. The first crop the 
second year will produce a much heavier yield 
but the second crop will be smaller. Gener¬ 
ally only one hay crop is taken and the sec¬ 
ond growth pastured or plowed under. Mam¬ 
moth is also longer lifed and a stand from a 
seeding may be maintained for several years, 
stems are coarser and leaves larger. 
The bulk of the Mammoth clover is grown 
in the north because the season does not per¬ 
mit two crops from the medium. However 
it is by no means confined to the north and 
its use is wide spread. Many farmers like it 
in mixtures because its later maturity fits in 
better with the maturity of the grasses they 
prefer in their mixtures. Timothy and 
orchard grass are widely used in mixtures. 
All American grown 
Sunfield’s Mammoth Red Clover seed is all 
United States grown. It is extremely win¬ 
ter hardy. The seed is strong and vigorous. 
When you use such seed, you have the best 
assurance of success. In some years Gen¬ 
uine Mammoth Red Clover is a scarce article. 
It is a good plan to lay in your supply early. 
My representative will gladly show you our 
fine Mammoth Clover seed values. 
White Dutch Clover 
The low growing pasture or lawn clover. Very 
hardy. A perennial that can last for many years. 
Stands a lot of punishment. Increases feeding 
value of pastures. Stimulates the growth of other 
grasses. 
The seed of this clover is very small and a little 
goes a long ways. Scatter a pound or two per 
acre on your pastures. It will help them a lot. 
There is a lot of variation in the quality of White 
Dutch clover. You will find Sunfield’s clover 
bright, well cleaned and high in germination. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
This is a very valuable clover and it is 
economical to sow. Even when the price of 
it is higher than Red Clover it still costs 
only half as much per acre. The seeds of 
Alsike are so much smaller that a pound 
of seed goes twice as far. 
Alsike has some features of superiority 
over Red Clover that deserves your consid¬ 
eration. It is less sensitive to acid than Red 
and it will thrive where Red may fail. It is 
higher in feeding value. Being finer stem¬ 
med there is less waste. The stems are 
smooth and the hay is less dusty. It stands 
more trampling and is better for pasture. 
One seeding lasts for several years. It grows 
on wetter land than Red and in most sections 
makes a better combination with Timothy 
and other grasses. 
The yields of Alsike may not be as heavy 
as Red Clover as it does not make so much 
second growth. On wet land it will outyield 
Red. Do not consider it as good for wet land 
only because it produces wonderful crops on 
upland and especially so in mixtures. 
Four to five pounds of seed sows an acre. 
Sow like red clover. 
Watch Alsike Quality 
Alsike is more difficult to clean than Red 
because the seed is so much smaller. It takes 
special machinery to do a good job. When 
you compare Sunfield’s Pur-Gro Brand with 
the average seed that may be offered you, 
you’ll see the difference and understand what 
I mean. 
I want to urge you to consider using some 
Alsike Clover this year. It is economical and 
profitable. Sow good seed and note the dif¬ 
ference in the stand, the yield, and the qual¬ 
ity. Ask my representative to show you Sun- 
field’s Alsike Clover seed.
