A Valuable Crop at Low Seeding Cost 
VARIETIES 
AND 
TYPES 
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 seed- 
i n g producing sections 
some yellow sweet clover 
has gotten into the fields. 
While in many instances the 
percentage of yellow is small it 
is still technically a question about sell¬ 
ing it as straight White Blossom even 
though much may be all white. The White lives 
two years. May grow 6 feet high if uncut or not 
pastured. Has big powerful roots that go down deep. 
They decay quickly when crop is plowed under. It is 
a wonderful crop for pasture, soil building and pro¬ 
duces heavy crops of hay. 
Grundy County Type—Does not grow as tall as the 
common Sweet Clover generally not exceeding 3J4 feet. 
Matures about 3 weeks earlier. See page 37. 
Yellow Type Sweet Clover—Lives two years. Ma¬ 
tures between Common and Grundy County. Finer 
stemmed and leafy. Mostly all yellow blossom. See 
pages 37 and 39. 
Hubam Type—An annual Sweet Clover. Makes com¬ 
plete growth in the same year it is sown. In big de¬ 
mand when quick growth is desired. Blooms, bears 
seeds same year sown. See page 39.

Our well recleaned unhulled seed is 
the best to use for early winter seeding. It 
is better than hulled seed either scarified 
or unscarified. Germination is slower. Will 
not start to grow during a warm spell in 
winter. Becomes firmly embedded in the 
soil. Waits until spring, then grows rap¬ 
idly. Many customers report that the sow¬ 
ing of our unhulled seed early in the winter 
gave them the finest stands they ever had. 
Sow about 20 lbs. per acre. Just broadcast 
it. No seed bed preparation necessary. If 
convenient cover it a little before growing 
season starts. Otherwise let nature take care 
of it. 
This seed is fancy cleaned quality that pleases 
our trade. It is a high grade product and 
Jour prices are very low. Compare qualities. Judge 
lvalues and note the difference.

An Economical Soil Builder 
This year Sweet Clover is proportionately much lower in cost 
than Red Clover or Alfalfa. The acre seeding cost is much lower 
and it will be widely used. It is not only cheaper but it excels 
other clovers in its soil buildng power and in its capacity as a 
pasture. It is a far better drought resister than most clovers. 
Supplies of seed are not large in the face of enormous need. It 
is our opinion that Sweet Clover will show the largest percentage 
of market advances of any item in the seed line. According to 
our best judgment you will make a substantial extra saving by 
buying your seed early. 
Rebuild Your Land Now 
.h 
Sweet Clover is an ideal crop to use for building up land. It 
surpasses all other crops in its quick soil building powers. It 
stores large quantities of Nitrogen in the soil, increasing fertility. 
It adds vast quantities of humus. That helps to stop erosion, 
makes ground easier to work and less apt to dry out hard. 
The bacterial life in the soil is increased so that plants will 
thrive better. A crop of Sweet Clover plowed under is equal 
to 25 big loads of manure. 
A Very Valuable Pasture 
Then again it is a wonderful pasture crop. Can be 
pastured the first fall with one to two head of cattle per 
acre. Three to four head the second year is no excep¬ 
tion and you put on hogs besides. Even then you may 
have to clip it to keep it down. Less danger of bloat 
and with a straw stack accessible to stock practically no 
danger at all. 
Sweet Clover generally makes a hay crop the first 
year and two the second. Its greatest value is as pas¬ 
ture or fertilizing crop. A fine way to handle sweet 
clover is use it for pasture or hay the first year and plow 
under in the spring of the second year and plant to corn. 
Inoculate Your Seed 
Inoculation of seed gives the young plants the bacteria 
they need to take nitrogen from the air for growth and 
development. Inoculation generally means healthier and 
more vigorous plants. It costs so little and is easy to 
apply. Complete simple directions on each package. 
Price only 30c for bu. size; 50c for 1 bu. size, and 
90c for 2 y 2 bu. size. It pays to use it on all kinds of 
clover seeds. Order Berry’s Nodule Germ inoculation. 
Sow sweet clover in the early spring just like Red 
Clover. Use about 15 lbs. of seed per acre. Your seed 
bed should be as firm as possible. Generally a light 
covering is advisable. If at all possible roll the land 
after seeding. Use a light nurse crop and pasture the 
grain if the season gets dry. 
Blackstone, Va. 
Gentlemen: I have used your seeds for 
many years with satisfaction. The 
quality has never disappointed me. 
The price, excellency of the seed con¬ 
sidered, has been much lower than I 
could secure elsewhere. 
Very sincerely, 
BENJ. R. MORSE.
