Poor Land Is Unprofitable. Sweet Clover Builds It Up Quickly 
Jmm 
THE 
CROP 
Domestic Northern Grown 
More land than ever is going to be sown to clovers, 
and grass this year. Sweet Clover is a great favorite, 
because it excels all in soil building and is the 
cheapest of all to buy. Seed supplies are not large. 
Already market advances show the tremendous de¬ 
mand for this crop. We bought large supplies 
early. As long as they last you can buy at our 
money saving prices. 
UNHULLED 
CLOVER 
Nature’s Way of Seeding 
This is a beautiful bargain in seed 
in the same form as it falls from the 
plant in the fall. It is one of the 
surest and best ways of getting a stand. 
This should be sown during the early win¬ 
ter. The seed then becomes imbedded in 
the soil. The freezing and thawing pre¬ 
pare the seed for quick germination in the 
spring. Unhulled is not recommended for 
late spring seeding as it is slower in ger¬ 
minating. A good time to sow is Decem¬ 
ber, January, February or first part of 
March, right on the snow or frozen ground. 
Some farmers tell us that they get heavier 
stands of clover from sowing the Unhulled 
Seed. 
Extra Nice Seed 
Much Unhulled Seed that is offered, is 
poorly cleaned. We ob¬ 
tain our Unhulled Seed 
from a shipper in Min¬ 
nesota, who picks out 
the best lots of 
TJnhulled pur 
chased from 
growers. Our 
TJnhulled Seed is 
fine clean dual¬ 
ity. Our seed is 
quoted low. Stocks of 
this tine quality are 
limited, so order early 
and sow early. 
VARIETIES 
Sweet Clover—That which we formerly listed as 
White Sweet Clover, is now designated as Sweet Clover 
only. The reason for this is that in nearly all the main 
seeding - producing sections some Yellow Sweet Clover has 
gotten into the fields. While in many instances the per¬ 
centage of yellow is.small it is still technically a question 
about selling it as straight White Blossom, even though 
much may be all white. It is a wonderful crop for pasture, 
soil building and produces heavy crops of hay.

Many farmers like this smaller type. Seldom grows 
over Sy 2 feet high. Is earlier than the big white. The 
seed is smaller in size and goes further. 11 or 12 pounds 
per acre makes a good seeding. It is more economical to 
sow. Past years sold as White Blossom. Makes better 
hay crop. Lot Hi-Test is one of our fine Star Bargains.

Gentlemen: I bought Sweet Clover from you 
last spring, and sowed it on a stock field on 
very steep ground sloping to the west. I have 
a fine stand, pastured it through the dry months 
and it is now over knee high. I am well pleased 
with the Red Tag Grimm Alfalfa seed bought 
from you last spring. (Signed) J. Ralph Meyer.

Gentlemen: Enclosed find another order for 
clover seed. This is my third year ordering 
clover from you. Am more than pleased with the 
last two clover seedings, both in price and qual¬ 
ity. I had the only good piece of Sweet Clover 
seed in this neighborhood last summer. 
Yours truly, (Signed) Harvey M. Bode.
