Northern Grown Seeds Are Adaptable Anywhere 
"DISCO" CLOVERS 
HUBAM 
Annual White Blossom. Where it is considered de¬ 
sirable to have the crop make its growth, flower, form 
seed and die in one year, Hubam has advantages. 
GRUNDy COUNTY 
A biennial. It is earlier, grows to a medium height, 
does not require clipping, matures its seed earlier and 
more uniform. 1 
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. 
TALL WHITE BLOSSOM 
MELILOTUS ALBA—-This is by far the most popular 
biennial, variety. It stores up a tremendous quan¬ 
tity of reserve food in its deep tap root, which en¬ 
ables the plant to make a rapid and vigorous 
growth early the following spring. 
ALSSKE or SWEDISH CLOVER 
Prpduces the finest quality of clover hay; unus¬ 
ually hardy, and well adapted for pasture. Thrives 
best on low and moist lands and is particularly well 
adapted for mixing with Timothy. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
The unusually low price on Medium Red Clover 
this spring should be an incentive to sow plenty of 
it this year. Insist on domestic grown Red Clover 
seed. All our seed is domestic. 
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. 
LADINO CLOVER (Trifolium repens) 
It is regarded as a giant form of the White Dutch 
Clover, and like the latter, is a long-lived perennial. 
Its growth, however, is more luxuriant. It requires a 
firm, hard seed-bed. The seeds are small and must 
be planted very shallow. A seed-bed that would be 
considered ideal for alfalfa would be too loose for 
Ladino. Ladino will thrive on shallow or hardpan 
soil. Ladino requires very little seed per acre pro¬ 
vided the seed is scarified. Four pounds of scarified 
seed per acre is sufficient. The excellent quality of 
Ladino pasture is due largely to the fact that the 
part of the plant available to the grazing animals 
consists mostly of highly nutritious leaves. 
"DISCO" soy OR SOJA BEANS 
It has been proved the last few years that Soy 
Beans can be grown successfully anywhere that 
com is grown and is an excellent substitute. The 
plant is very resistant to many plant diseases that 
other crops are menaced with each year. 
Feeding value equal to alfalfa hay when fed to 
cattle. The whole bean can be fed either cracked 
or uncracked to hogs and is a wonderful substitute 
for practically any of the grains. 
PLANTING 
First prepare a firm seed bed with enough loose 
dirt to cover the bean. There should be enough 
moisture to start the bean growing promptly. Next 
use inoculation. After this treatment drill the beans 
with a corn planter at the rate of 35 to 50 pounds per 
acre, 1 to 1 V 2 inches deep. 
HARVESTING 
The soy bean crop should be cut when the pods 
are fully matured and the bean is in the hard-dough 
stage. For hay the bean should be mowed one 
month earlier while the leaves are still green and 
the bean is not fully formed. 
ILLINI 
Pure line selection. Plants stout, erect, bushy, 36 
inches high, maturing in about 105 days; taking 55 
to 65 days to bloom. Yield 26.6 bushels per acre. 
MANCHU 
Plants stout, erect, bushy, 38 inches high, maturing 
in about 105 days, taking 55 to 65 days to bloom. 
About 3,325 to the pound. Yield 22.3 bushels per acre. 
MUKDEN 
Plants stout, erect, bushy, 36 inches high maturing 
in about 100 days; flowers, white and purple taking 
50 to 60 days to bloom. Yield about the same as 
Manchu and Illini. Mukden with a shorter growing 
season has a distinct advantage over other varieties 
in northern Iowa and South Dakota. 
FIELD or SHELL BEANS 
Grow these for winter use. All our seed is northern 
grown, perfectly acclimated and will grow quickly 
and mature rapidly. 
GREAT NORTHERN—Originally grown by the In¬ 
dians, very hardy and early. 
SMALL WHITE NAVY—Grown so that their earliness 
is assured. Skin very thin and bean of excellent 
flavor.
