Clean Seed Pays Big Dividends. e 
GRADES OF CLOVERS, ALFALFA, TIMOTHY, ETC. 
In grading seed we get several grades, some of which we do not offer for sale. Most:of 
our machines make six to eight grades. Some of these grades are discarded altogether. 
K. B., stands for Kelly’s Best grade, which is always the best of the crop, usually 99:50 or 
better pure, plump berry and the best color seed. Often reclean this grade to 99:75 to 99:90 
purity. If we buy a carload of seed from the producing sections which shows a 99:50 purity, 
we rur. it over our mills again no matter how high the purity is. By so doing we know 
exactly what the entire carload is. 
“FE. V.”’ stands for Full Value grade, which is our second grade seed and is about equal to 
the average seed offered for sale. Purity usually 98% to 99%. Will show a few more brown 
seed and some smaller berries, but is real good seed. 
“G. V.” stands for Good Value, which is just what the words ‘“‘good value’’ really signifies. 
Good value for the money. Color not as bright and grains somewhat smaller. The germina- 
tion is some lower. Purity 95% to 98%. Well recleaned and very few weeds and will pass all 
State seed laws. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Illinois produced the best quality of Alsike last year 
we ever handled in our thirty-six years in the 
seed business. Plump berry, dark green color and ‘high 
in purity and germination. We also have some very 
fine Idaho grown Alsike. Both Idaho and Illinois priced 
on price list enclosed. Alsike will do much better on 
sour acid soil than any other clover. A bushel of good 
clean seed will seed ten to twelve acres. Alsike makes 
a good mixture with Timothy, producing more hay and 
is much more palatable. 
Red clover seed of low grade containing 
many weed seeds, magnified nine times. 
Can you pick out of the above picture the 
Dodder, Canada thistle, Buck horn, ox eye 
daisy, curled dock or other noxious weed 
eae CLOVER MIXTURE 
In seeding our own fields we always use a mixture, as we find a mixture does much bet- 
ter than any single clover. Often we are able to buy mixed seed at much lower prices than 

where it is all one kind. By using this seed we make these mixtures at a lower ‘price 
than you could buy the seed and mix it. Made up of good seed, well recleaned. Our Clover 
Mixture consists of the following: TT 

15-lbs. Red Clover 
10-lbs. Alsike 
15-lbs. Sweet Clover 
10-lbs. Alfalfa 
10-lbs. Hulled and scarified Dodder Free Lespedeza 
60-lbs= Tonbusniel stesso es oe aa Cae Bike _$10.00 
PASTURE MIXTURE 
Every year we have calls for mixtures which will 
make a good pasture in a short time. This is simply 
out of the question as there is no way of producing a: 
good pasture in a short time. We give you the follow- 
ing which is as good a mixture as we know how to 
make, which is as follows: 
6-lbs. Red Clover 
5-lbs. Alsike 
8-lbs. Sweet Clover 
15-lbs. Timothy 
10-lbs. Rye Grass 
6-lbs. Hulled and scarified Korean Lespedeza 
Price..(60: lbs to Dus eee $7.00 bu. | Note the wonderful growth. 
It may be you have some spots in the field which will not produce the Sweet Clover as 
well as other parts on which it will do well. The same is true of the other seeds. We sell 
this 50 pounds to the bushel and would recommend sowing a bushel on seven or eight acres. 
You will notice in our pasture mixture this year we are including 10 pounds of Rye Grass 
to a bushel. We have had many people who sow a pasture mixture that want pasture just 
as quickly as possible. Rye Grass will come up earlier and produce more pasture than any 
grass we know of. The cost is not great and will furnish pasture while the later legumes 
and grasses are coming on.
