Build Your Soil with CLOVER 
There is a Clover For Most All Types of Soil and Conditions 
@ SELECT THE TYPE YOUR 
SOIL NEEDS 
For instance, Alsike does best on low, 
moist soils. Red does best on rolling well- 
drained soil. Both require lime. On other 
hand, Burr Clover will grow nicely without 
lime. There’s a clover that fits in with your 
requirements that will prove profitable in 
your farming operations. Sometimes as a 
hay crop, sometimes for pasture purposes, 
and ALWAYS as a soil builder. Every South- 
ern farm should have some kind of clover 
crop growing each year. This is nature's 
method of soil rejuvenation—the road to 
profitable farming. 
EE EEEEEEN 
INOCULATE THE SEED BY ALL MEANS 
If not inoculated, young plants have to 
depend on whatever nitrogen is available 
in the soil, usually a much smaller quan- 
tity than they require. Lack of inoculation 
has caused many Clover failures. Use 
Nitragin, described and quoted on page on 






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 ofr 
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 inoc- 
ulated. 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 unpalatable. 
Being a biennial, will disappear unless al- 
lowed to make seed second fall. Inoculate seed 
with Nitragin. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
(Perennial) 
Is one of the most palatable and nutritious 
of all pasture plants. It is well suited to most 
soils in the South. Does best on lime soils but 
grows with very little lime present. A very 
dry summer may cut down the stand greatly 
but will come back, unsurpassed in value in a 
wet season, splendid in connection with Ber- 
muda and Lespedeza, does not cause bloating, 
high in protein, thrives under trampling, comes 
out early in the spring without interfering with 
other grasses. It is not adapted for hay, it is 
creeping in type, but should be in all pastures 
and excellent in lawns. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
(Annual) 
This clover has come into its own in the last 
few years, tremendous increases in acreage 
have been made. Sow it in August, September 
and October, it grows upright and reaches 
maturity the following spring, furnishes splen- 
did cold weather pasture and is a splendid 
soil builder. It is adaptable to a wide variety 
of soils. Lime helps it but its lime requirement 
is low compared to Red Clover. Basic Slag 
containing Phosphoric Acid is a splendid help 
as it is to all pastures. 
Sow 12 to 18 lbs. per acre, cover the seed 
lightly. Moisture is also important in getting 
the seed up. Crimson is fine in a mixture with 
Rye grass, Rye or other cereals. It can be 
sown to advantage on a bermuda sod—not 
over two inches high but we think sown on 
prepared land is the best method.

YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
11 TOP NOTCH CLUVERo 
BLACK MEDIC 
(Annual) 
The plant resembles Hop Clover but grows 
more vigorous, longer-lived. The blooming 
period is longer, and abundant seeds are pro- 
duced in small black tightly coiled pods. It 
requires more lime than Hop Clover but less 
than Alfalfa. It thrives best on well drained 
soils and will grow all over the South. 
Sow it either in the spring or fall. It furnishes 
splendid late winter and early spring grazing, 
and reseeds under the closest grazing. Use 
Nitragin A inoculation. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per 
acre when sown alone. Combines well with 
pasture mixtures. 
EARLY GIANT SOUTHERN 
BURR CLOVER 
(Annual) 
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 buck- 
shot. Sow July, August, September, October, 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 three years, 
then turn under again fourth year. One of the 
finest soil builders known. 
RED CLOVER 
(Biennial) 
For general utility and in a crop rotation 
Red Clover is probably unsurpassed. It re- 
quires lime: and if Basic Slag is applied will 
thrive-on any well drained soil, reasonably 
fertile, containing lime, anywhere in the South. 
Yields 1 to 2 cuttings of hay; feeding value 
next to Alfalfa. As a soil builder Red Clover 
is equal to any. Sow in March, April, Septem- 
ber and October. Prepare the seed bed thor- 
oughly, discing and harrowing. Sow seed, then 
roll in with a roller or cultipacker. Have the 
ground free of weeds. Being a biennial, it must 
be allowed to make seed the second fall, else 
it will disappear. Be sure to inoculate with 
Nitragin B; sown with wheelbarrow seeder 
gives excellent results, so does the grain drill 
and rotary hand seeder. Sow 6 to 10 lbs. per 
acre. 
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 
urposes, we would advise the use of the 
ellow Blossom type.

It pays to plant 
PURE SEED! 
ALYCE CLOVER 
A summer legume. Plant first of May through 
June on top of permanent pasture, etc., with- 
out soil preparation. It is an annual, reseeding 
abundantly in October and returning every 
summer unless destroyed by summer cultiva- 
tion. Heat and drouth resistant, fine pasturage, 
not injured by trampling. Hay cures quickly, 
very nutritious and palatable—stock eat it 
greedily; fine quail feed also. Prefers sandy 
loams, does well on most all others except 
extremely wet or heavy soils. Sow 6 to 10 lbs. 
per acre. 
PERSIAN CLOVER 
A marvelous new Clover that should be 
planted on every pasture in the South. Fur- 
nishes splendid grazing from early spring until 
June. Will carry 4 to 6 head of cattle per acre 
throughout the entire growing season. Yields 
2 to 3 tons of rich, palatable hay per acre. 
Cures very quickly. An excellent soil builder. 
Reseeds itself even when closely grazed and 
spreads rapidly. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, bears 
small pink flowers and seeds heavily. Will 
stand heavier, wetter lands than most Clovers. 
Persian Clover grows well in mixtures, and 
is often planted with White Dutch, Bermuda 
and Dallis Grass. It has a deeper root system 
than White Dutch and requires less moisture 
for its success. It grows equally well on clay 
or loamy soils, other conditions being favor- 
able. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre from Febru- 
ary to April. Also in September and October. 
Cover very lightly. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
(Biennial) 
Alsike has about the same length of life as 
Red Clover and is less subject to disease. It 
requires less lime than Red Clover and is ex- 
ceptionally adapted to moisture or wet soils. 
The hay is of superior quality and fits in well 
in all pastures with Red Top, Orchard and 
other grasses. It is very resistant to cold 
weather, rarely winter killing. Alsike does 
POA shady places, something to be remem- 
ered. 
HOP CLOVER (YELLOW) 
(Annual) 
This is probably the earliest clover out in 
the spring and lasts until mid-summer when 
Bermuda grass and lespedeza take up the job 
of furnishing pasturage. It has a yellow flower 
appearing in late summer, but otherwise re- 
sembles lespedeza in general appearance. It 
grows about 6 to 8 inches high and seems to 
thrive best of all on clays and loams that are 
not constantly wet, very valuable in all pas- 
tures, combines well with other crops. Sow 1 
to 3 lbs. per acre in your pasture mixture.
