ALFALFA and CLOVER SEEDS 
CLOVER 
ALSIKE CLOVER. This is a perennial adapted for hay or pasture. 
A valuable crop for bee pasture. Does well either on poor dry 
soils or in wet rich soil. Being finer, brighter and not so dusty. 
Alsike hay is preferred to Red Clover. Inoculate all clovers 
and be sure to get a stand. Ask for prices. 
‘LADINO CLOVER will pasture more cattle and hogs than any 
other clover with the possible exception of Strawberry Clover 
which is fast coming into importance as a clover pasture cron. 
Ladino is perennial, heavy producing and very palatable. !t 
grows 12 to 18 inches tall. Ladino increases milk flow, im- 
proves soil, will thrive on shallow moist soils and is the first 
clover to awaken in the spring and the last plant to quit in 
the fall. Prepare a fine seed bed and sow the seed at the rate 
of 6 pounds per acre. Cover lightly with a brush harrow. If 
you use a sloping tooth harrow, set the teeth back to the limit 
to avoid covering too deeply. To prevent bloating include 
grasses such as Rye Grass, Orchard Grass or Fescue. Ask 
for prices. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. Sweet Clover is one of the 
most important soil improving crops. Withstands adverse con- 
ditions of soil and weather better than alfalfa and red clover. 
Does not winterkill. Produces more on this land than alfalfa 
and red clover and is equal to alfalfa and red clover in 
nutritive value. Sow it on lands too poor, too worn out, too 
sandy for other crops and bring the land into condition to 
produce profitable crops. Make the seedbed fine and compact 
and cover the seed lightly. Inoculate with Nitragin, listed 
below. Plant 20 pounds to the acre from February to March. 
We offer only scarified, hulled, fancy seed, free of dodder, 
of high purity and germination. Ask for prices.

LADINO CLOVER 
CRIMSON CLOVER. Very productive and greedily eaten by 
cattle. An annual clover. Remains green longer than Red 
Clover and is excellent for bee food. Largely used for green 
manuring. Sown in August it may be plowed under the fol- 
lowing June. Sow 15 Ibs. per acre. Ask for prices. , 
RED CLOVER. The standard clover for all purposes. Makes an 
excellent hay when mixed with timothy. Succeeds well on 
most any soil. Innoculate seed before planting and you'll be 
sure to get a stand. Ask for prices. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER. This clover is a perennial, low-grow- 
ing, pasture legume, spreading vegetatively by creeping stems 
that root at the nodes. The leaves, stems, and habit of growth 
are somewhat similar to White Clover, making it generally 
difficult to distinguish, when not in bloom, from certain 
types of White Clover. The tolerance of Strawberry Clover 
to seeped, saline and alkaline soils containing concentrations 
of salts that inhibit the growth of most other crop plants is 
of particuar importance. The growth of this clover is not 
limited to salty conditions, as it will thrive on low, wet, non- 
saline soils as well. Although it will live on relatively dry 
conditions and will survive short periods of drought the clover 
will not make sufficient growth to warrant its use on dry lands. 
Seed early in the spring on a firm, moist seed bed. Sow 4 to 5 
Ibs. seed per acre and cover lightly. Once a stand of Straw- 
berry Clover is established it will stand unlimited pasturing 
without damage, differing greatly in this respect from ordi- 
nary clover in that they will thin out under heavy grazing 
while Strawberry Clover will thicken up and hold fast to the 
ground. Write for prices. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. The hardiest of all alfalfa and will stand the 
sevrest winters of our mountain sections. It has a branching 
root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the soil and 
prevents heaving by frequent freezing and thaws, and also 
adapts it to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near 
the surface, or if your farm is in the mountain section, it 
will pay you to give Grimm the preference. Being short rooted, 
Grimm will thrive on soils where the water table is close 
to the surface. Grimm is very leafy and fine stemmed and 
is preferred by most hay buyers. Sow Grimm 8 pounds per 
acre after frost danger is over. Fertilize with Soil Sulphur or 
Superphosphate for bumper crops the first season. We handle 
only State Sealed and Certified Grimm seed. Write for prices. 
COMMON or CHILEAN ALFALFA. This is the popular long- 
rooted variety so universally grown. Best adapted to deep 
soils. We handle only the hardiest types of Chilean, select- 
ing our seed from growin~ districts which produce seed of 
true type. Our mountain grown seed will produce stands of 
longer duration and prove more profitable to plant. Write 
for prices.
