OLDS’ HfiRDY 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. 
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. 
A Beautiful Field of Pure Medium Red Clover 
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.

NOD-O-GEN 
*'I got 1640 pounds 
more alfalfa per 
acre by spending 
15 cents for inoc¬ 
ulation," says one 
NOD-O-GEN user. 
Numerous other 
farmers report 
equal gains. Seeds 
of legumes (see 
list below) inocu¬ 
lated with NOD- 
O-GEN produce 
"knobs" on plant 
roots. Bacteria in 
these knobs take 
expensive fertiliz¬ 
er—nitrogen—from 
the air... increase 
yields ... produce 
richer feed ... enrich the soil. 
NOD-O-GEN costs little; pays large divi¬ 
dends. Easy to use. Pre-tested to insure big 
results. Ranks high in State tests.
