A Field of Red Clover 
RED CLOVER 
(Biennial) 
As a soil builder, Red Clover is equal to any; 
in feeding value, it ranks next to alfalfa. Should 
be on every southern farm that will grow it. 
Requires a sweet soil, well drained—medium 
fertile to rich. Plant alone for hay or with Tim¬ 
othy. Fine in pastures, and a splendid soil 
builder. Sow in March, April, September, Oc¬ 
tober. Be sure to inoculate with Nitragin, if 
you want best results. Prepare seed bed thor¬ 
oughly, discing and harrowing, sow seed and 
roll in with roller or cultipacker; have ground 
free of weeds. Being a biennial must be al¬ 
lowed to make seed the second fall, else it 
will disappear. 
MAMMOTH or SAPLING 
CLOVER 
Very much like the common red clover but 
larger, heavier and later. Recommended for 
thin soils. Sow 8 to 10 pounds to the acre. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
(Biennial) 
Somewhat smaller seed than Red Clover, 6 to 
8 pounds per acre enough. About equal to Red 
Clover hay in feed value, hay a little finer and 
preferred by stock. Rarely winterkills. Will 
thrive on poorer soil, and does fine on damp 
moist soils. Does not require lime, or at least 
very little. Grown and handled throughout 
same as Red Clover. Being a biennial must 
be allowed to make seed the second fall, else 
it will disappear. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
(Annual) 
Sow 15 to 18 pounds in August, September 
and October in South, cut for hay in early 
bloom stage next spring, which is best time 
to turn under for soiling crop. Also furnishes 
large amount of nitrogen in soil if properly 
inoculafed. Use Nitragin. 
HOP CLOVER (YELLOW) 
(Annual) 
This clover will be found growing wild over 
a good portion of the South, and is very val¬ 
uable in all pastures. Hop comes out very 
early in the spring and lasts until mid-summer, 
when Bermuda Grass and Lespedeza take up 
the job of furnishing pasturage. Grows about 
6 to 8 inches high, is very similar to lespedeza 
but a little more upright and has a yellow 
blossom instead of lespedeza's purple bloom. 
It is the earliest and fastest growing clover 
adapted to the South. Clays and loams that 
are not constantly wet satisfy it best. Sow 
1 to 3 pounds per acre in your pasture mixture. 
BLACK MEDIC 
Grows all during the winter and is just the 
thing to build up run-down soil and will im¬ 
prove the yield of crops fhat are planfed on 
the land the following spring. Sow in March, 
18 to 20 pounds per acre. Should be in all 
pastures. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET 
CLOVER 
(Biennial Melilotus Alba) 
Good for forage pasture and soil improve¬ 
ment—will grow on almost any Southern soil 
(even very sandy soils) that contain lime, thriv¬ 
ing on land too poor to grow red clover or 
alfalfa. Resembles alfalfa when young but 
grows much larger, almost same rank in feed¬ 
ing value; both as hay and green foliage. 
Stock seldom relish it at first, but when forced 
to eat it, soon develop a decided preference 
for it. Cut it before it reaches the blossom 
stage—too woody after that. Has a deep¬ 
spreading, heavy root system making it a big 
Nitrogen gatherer and soil improver, provided 
it is inoculated. Pasture from time plants are 
six inches high—the more stock you turn on 
it the better, for close grazing encourages its 
growth, and when tall becomes coarse and un¬ 
palatable. Being a biennial, will disappear 
unless allowed to make seed second fall. In¬ 
oculate seed with Nitragin. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
SWEET CLOVER 
(Biennial, Melilotus Officinalis) 
The Yellow Blossom type is very similar to 
that of the White Blossom. For those who wish 
to use sweet clover for pasture, hay and bee 
purposes, we would advise the use of the Yel¬ 
low Blossom type. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
(Perennial) 
Creeping in type, not adapted for hay but 
excellent in lawns and should be in all pas¬ 
tures. Much relished by stock, and high in 
protein. Does not cause bloating, comes out 
very early in spring without interfering with 
other grasses, thrives under trampling. Sow 
one or two pounds per acre in your pasture 
mixture. 
EARLY GIANT SOUTHERN 
BURR CLOVER 
A new and distinct type of the Southern 
Spotted leaf Burr Clover, far superior to the 
original, being 3 to 4 weeks earlier in growth, 
blooming and maturing of seed. Does best on 
sandy loam, and poorest on heavy black 
buckshot. Sow July, August, September, Oc¬ 
tober, 30 to 50 pounds of seed in the Burr per 
acre, preferably in cotton middles. Can be 
pastured all winter and spring, or turned 
under in March. Will volunteer each fall for 
thre years, then turn under again fourth year. 
One of the finest soil builders known. Ask 
for special Burr Clover circular.

T^^^TTT HT'F Seeds of all legumes—clover seed, and related crops. They will 
yield far better if Inoculated with Nitragin, and in addition leave in 
the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen which benefits all succeeding crops. Farmers and gard¬ 
eners who have used it would not be without it. See page 21 for prices and further information.
