"DISCO" SWEET CLOVER 
5 Reasons Why 
you SHOULD sow RECLEANED 
AND SCARIFIED SEED 
• “ONE ACRE SWEET CLOVER PLOWED UN¬ 
DER A YEAR AFTER SEEDING WILL ADD 
APPROXIMATELY 100 POUNDS NITROGEN 
TO THE SOIL.”—Iowa State College, April, 1931. 
• IT GIVES YOU QUICKER RETURNS 
• PROVIDES PASTURE SAME YEAR YOU SOW 
• PUTS INTO THE SOIL WHAT OTHER CROPS 
TAKE OUT 
#IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL OUT 
AND IS THE CHEAPEST MEANS OF BUILD¬ 
ING UP YOUR FARM TODAY. 
TALL WHITE BLOSSOM 
MELILOTUS ALBA—This is by far the most popular 
biennial variety. Under ideal conditions it will some¬ 
times make a growth of 48 inches the first year, its 
usual growth being 18 to 30 inches. It stores up a 
tremendous quantity of reserve food in its deep tap 
root, which enables the plant to make a rapid and 
vigorous growth early the following spring. 
GRUNDY COUNTY. EARLY WHITE 
DWARF WHITE, CRYSTAL WHITE 
Under these various titles, a dwarf growing type of the 
biennial white variety has been distributed during the 
past few years. It is earlier, grows to a medium height, 
does not require clipping, matures its seed earlier and 
more uniform; is consequently easier handled. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
MELILOTUS OFFICINALIS—This variety is also a 
biennial, growing a hay crop the first year; flowers, 
bears seed and dies at the end of the second year. 
Stems are finer, inclined to be less “woody” and have 
a larger proportion of leaves and fine branches, which 
naturally makes it a better pasture, and some farmers 
prefer it as a hay crop, although it makes less tonnage 
per acre than the White Blossom variety. 
Hubam Clover 
HUBAM 
Annual White Blossom. Where it is con¬ 
sidered desirable to have the crop make its 
growth, flower, form seed and die in one year, 
Hubam has advantages. It certainly has a 
strong appeal to the honey producer, greatly 
increasing the available bee pasture.

MISCELLANEOUS CLOVERS 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER 
Produces the finest quality of clover hay; un¬ 
usually hardy, and well adapted for pasture. Thrives 
best on low and moist lands and is particularly well 
adapted for mixing with Timothy, as it will grow 
under similar conditions, and can be cured well if 
grown in this manner. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
The extremely low price on Medium Red Clover 
this spring should be an incentive to sow plenty 
of it this year. Where adapted there is no more 
valuable clover crop raised. Insist on domestic 
grown Red Clover seed. All our seed is domestic 
grown. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Coarser and stronger growing than the Medium 
Red. Well adapted for hay, if cut early, but is 
mostly used as pasture and for fertilizing. 
WHITE or DUTCH CLOVER 
A dwarf close-growing variety, in demand for 
lawns and pasture. Pine for top seeding on old pas¬ 
tures. Improves feed value. Our price on this high 
quality seed is very reasonable. 
All our clovers are domestic grown. The U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry does not 
recommend imported clovers, in fact warns farmers against 
their use, with the exception of Canadian grown seed. 
Not only are imported clovers less hardy, but they yield 
less and are otherwise unsatisfactory. 
The BARGAIN COUNTER 
Alfalfa and Sweet Clover Are Our Specialties 
Recleaning many carlots in a season, we generally have on hand many small lots not just good 
enough for our regular brands. A little off color, perhaps, or containing Pigeon Grass or a 
little Gumbo. We give real snaps in these. Write us about them.
