Sweet Clover. Biennial white 
Blossom is the commonest type of 
Sweet Clover, and the one which has 
come to the front so rapidly in 
recent years for forage, pasture, 
and soil-improvement. It will grow 
In almost any climate and on almost 
any type of soil, thriving on land 
too poor for Alfalfa or Red Clover. 
Medium Red Clover. The 
common Red Clover largely grown 
throughout the country. This 
Clover requires well-drained soils 
to make its best growth, and is 
especially suitable to rich bottom- 
lands or soils that have been heavily 
fertilized. If cut early it is easily 
possible in a good season to get 
two or three cuttings. 
Mammoth Red Clover. Com- 
pared with the Medium Red Clover, 
Its flower, foliage, and stems are of 
darker color; it is later In maturing 
and of larger growth. When grown 
on rich bottom-lands or heavily 
fertilized soil, it makes a very rank 
growth and often is very coarse; 
hence the names Sapling Clover, 
Big Clover, or Pea-vine Clover. 
One of the best soiling crops. It is 
recommended for soils of ordinary 
or low productivity because here it 
will make a growth similar to Me- 
dium Clover on more fertile soils. 
A good stand of Mammoth Clover 
will last from 2 to 7 years, depend- 
Ing on conditions. Being 10 to 14 
days later than Medium Clover, it 
will mature with Timothy. 
Alsike Clover. The hardiest of 
L 
NOD-O-GEN 
For best growth, and to put atmospheric 
nitrogen in the soil, 
all Clovers; perennial. On _ rich, 
moist soils it yields enormous 
crops. Its greatest value is for 
sowing with other Clovers and 
grasses and it is especially suited to 
sowing with Timothy. 
adino Clover. Ladino Is a very 
large species of the ordinary White 
Dutch Clover. It is more definitely 
perennial in type than either Red 
or Alstke and ts used quite success- 
fully in pasture mixtures and in hay 
mixtures where the aftermath Is to 
be grazed. 
it pays to imoculate all 
handling just one grade of Seeds, and that 
the best money will buy; nothing else goes 
into our warehouses and nothing but the best can 
therefore go out to our customers. 
\ \ TE CONTINUE our well-known policy of 
Traveling men from the big recleanmg plants of 
Chicago, Toledo, and other western cities, tell us 
that we are the only firm demanding 99.50 per cent 
purity or better on all purchases of Alfalfa, Red 
Clover, Sweet Clover, and Timothy. 
The average analysis of D. B. Brand Clover and 
Grass Seeds at various Experiment Stations was 
above 99.60 per cent purity. Part of the samples 
were drawn by the official inspectors, a few were 
sent direct by us, and over half were made for our 
customers.

White Dutch Clover. This is a 
low-growing Clover that spreads 
by sending out creeping stems that 
root at the joints. It is not adapted 
for hay but is used chiefly in pasture 
and lawn mixtures. On acid soils 
it quickly disappears. 
Wild White Clover. 1+ is a wild 
form of the cultrvated White Dutch 
Clover and a_ true perennial. On 
sweet soils it will survive indefinitely 
without reseeding. Its chief use is 
in the better grades of pasture and 
lawn mixtures. 
Timothy. Most valuable of all the 
grasses, especially tn the North. 
It is better adapted to clay than to 
sandy soils and is at its best on 
moist and fertile soils. 
Red -Top. No other grass _ will 
grow under as great a variety of 
conditions as Red-Top and _ will 
thrive on almost every type of soil 
except sand. It is a rapid grower 
and ts chiefly used as a wet-land or 
sour-land hay-crop, often in com- 
bination with Alsike and as a pas- 
ture grass on damp soils not sweet 
enough for Kentucky Blue Grass. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This 
is the most valuable grass for per- 
manent pastures and lawns. It Is 
hardy and thrives under heavy 
grazing. Soils of the moderately 
moist, medium to heavy types 
which produce the best Timothy 
are well suited for Kentucky Blue 
Grass. 
Orchard Grass. A_ long-lived 
perennial that gets Its name from 
its ability to grow in the partial 
shade of orchards and open wood- 
lots. Its principal use is for pasture 
and hay under shady conditions. 
Also adapted to very dry conditions.
