Sweet Clover 
Varieties 
Common White Blossom 
Also called White Biennial. The largest 
growing variety of sweet clover. Makes the 
tallest rankest growth. Develops an excep¬ 
tionally heavy root system. Grows two years 
from a seeding just like red clover. Reseeds 
itself if allowed to mature and shatter seed. 
This is also the latest blooming variety 
which enables it to provide a longer pastur¬ 
ing season. Generally makes a crop of hay 
the first year or gives fall pasture. The first 
crop the second year also makes good hay if 
cut when first signs of bloom appear. The 
second growth may get rather woody for hay. 
It is either plowed under or used for a seed 
crop. 
This sweet clover has a tremendous carry¬ 
ing capacity as a pasture. Sometimes dur¬ 
ing the second season it is clipped back to 
keep the growth from getting too large, 
coarse and to stimulate a second growth. 
You will find my Big or Common White 
Sweet Clover values very outstanding. Ask 
my representative to show you samples and 
quite you prices. You will find Sunfield’s 
Pur-Gro a very beautiful and extra fancy 
quality. For strong quick germination and 
vigorous sprouts it is ace high. I have other 
grades priced somewhat lower that are good 
values but Pur-Gro is my personal selection. 
Grundy County White 
This is an earlier maturing smaller growing 
variety. It has the White Blossoms and lives two 
years just like the common. It will bloom and 
mature fully 2 weeks earlier than the common. 
Where sweet clover grows very rank this is often 
preferred as the growth is bushier and more leafy. 
Its soil building power is very much the same. 
It is a nitrogen gatherer and has a strong root 
system. 
It is somewhat more desirable from a seed 
production standpoint as it matures its seeds more 
evenly. The seed is smaller in size. Having more 
seeds per pound it requires fewer pounds per 
acre. About 12 lbs. is used as compared to 15 
lbs. of the Common. This sweet clover was de¬ 
veloped in Grundy County, Illinois, near Chicago. 
Its use has become wide spread. I always figure 
to have a good supply of high quality Grundy 
County Sweet Clover but sometimes I run out. 
If you want this variety, don’t wait until too 
late to get it. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
The Yellow Biennial Sweet Clover also 
grows for two years. It comes in between 
the Common and Grundy County White for 
maturity and growth. Somewhat bushier and 
more leafy than the Common White and pre¬ 
ferred by many for hay. Comes the closest 
to alfalfa in appearance. 
It is claimed by some that it is less sensi¬ 
tive to acid conditions although I cannot 
vouch for that. As a soil builder, it is a 
great performer. Its pasture production is 
heavy. Many like this Yellow Blossom best 
of all Sweet Clover. 
Since the demand generally exceeds the 
supply it sells as a rule at a little premium 
over the White. I secure my seed from sec¬ 
tions that make a specialty of growing Yel¬ 
low Blossom so you may have a real quality 
product. In some years the seed of yellow 
will have a distinctly different shade or color 
from the white but that is not always true. 
My representative will be glad to show you 
what this years seed is like.

HUBAM White Blossom 
The fastest grower of all. Makes its full growth 
in one year. Blooms and bears seed the same 
year it is sown. Gives you a crop you can plow 
under in the same year you sow it. Very profit¬ 
able as a seed crop especially 
in recent years. Makes a won¬ 
derful quick pasture. Builds 
up land quickly. Seed sup¬ 
ply quite limited. Sunfield’s 
Hubam is northern grown and 
I can take care of early buy¬ 
ers with some real quality 
stocks of Genuine Hubam.
