OLDS’ SWEET CLOVERS 
(The Great Soil Builder and Hay Crop.) 
The Sweet Clover Seed crop this year was excellent and our seed is 
bright, clean and high testing. Prices are the lowest in several years 
so this will be a fine year to seed. The cost is only $1.25 an acre for 
seed at present prices. 
Sweet Clover should be planted for 3 reasons: 
First—A Great Pasture Crop. When the ordinary blue grass pastures 
dry up in midsummer, Sweet Clover keeps right on growing and fur- 
nishes wonderful pasture right through the drouth period. 
Cows on Sweet Clover produce a splendid flow of milk. It will gen- 
erally pasture a thousand-pound cow per acre for a period of about 4 
months. 
Second—Wonderful Soil Builder. Sweet Clover is an excellent crop 
for building up worn-out soils. It grows faster than red clover or 
alfalfa and larger and the roots penetrate deeper into the soil. 
Third—A Valuable Hay Crop. While not quite equal to Alfalfa it 
makes good hay if cut at the right time and cattle will eat it. The 
Grundy County and the Albotrea are the best for hay. 
CULTURE—Sweet Clover is best sown in the spring with one bushel 
of extra early oats or barley per acre as nurse crop. It can also be sown 
successfully in June or July without a nurse crop or in corn at the last

seed before sowing with Nitragin or Nod-O-Gen. 
Use lime if your soil is sour. Most any well- 
drained soil is all right for Sweet Clover. 
Grundy County White Blossom 
Grundy County Sweet Clover has several out- 
standing advantages. First, it is three weeks 
earlier than the common sweet clover. Thus the 
seed ripens ahead of most weeds. Second, 
while it grows to a good height and makes a 
good hay crop it is not as tall as the common 
and is much more easily handled. Third, it is 
finer and more leafy than the common and 
branches thickly about a foot above the ground. 
Fourth, it yields more seed than the common, 
several farms in Grundy County producing as 
high as 8 to 15 bushels per acre.
