More land is going to be sown to clovers and grass 
this year. Sweet Clover excels in soil building and 
is the cheapest of all to buy. Seed supplies are not 
large. Already market advances show the tre- 
mendous demand for this crop. We bought large 
supplies early. As long as they last you can buy 
at our money saving prices. A.A.A. payments are 
made in most districts. See page 2 for details. 
UNHULLED 
SWEET 
CLOVER 
Nature’s Way of Seeding 
_ This is a beautiful bargain in seed 
in the same form as it falls from the 
plant in the fall. It is one of-the 
surest and best ways of getting a stand. 
This should be sown during the early win« 
ter. The seed then becomes imbedded in 
the soil. The freezing and thawing pre- 
pare the seed for quick germination in the SW S ET Cc L o v E R 
spring. _Unhulled is not recommended for : 
late spring seeding as it is slower in ger- OT * . 
minating. A good time to sow is Decem- Sait, go Sgt ‘ ee ; 
ber, January, February or first part of 
March, on the snow or frozen ground. Some 
farmers tell us that they get heavier stands 
of clover from sowing the Unhulled Seed. 
Extra Nice Seed 
Much Unhulled Seed that is offered, is 
poorly cleaned. We ob- 
tain our Unhulled Seed 
from a shipper in Min- 
nesota, who picks out 
the best. lots of 
Unhulled pur- 
chased from 
growers, Our 
Unhulled Seed is 
fine clean qual- 
ity. Our seed is 
quoted low. Stocks of 
this fine quality are 
limited, so order early 
and sow early. 
VARIETIES 
Sweet Clover—That which we formerly listed as 
White Sweet Clover, is now designated as Sweet Clover 
only. The reason is that in nearly all the main seed- 
ing producing sections some Yellow Sweet Clover has 
gotten into the fields. While in many instances the per- 
centage of yellow is small it is still technically a ques- 
tion about selling it as straight White Blossom, even 
though much may be all white. It is a wonderful crop 
for pasture, soil building and produces heavy crops of hay. 
It’s the big type, or tall Sweet Clover. 
Grundy County Type—we call it Dwarf Type. Does not, 
grow as tall as the common Sweet Clover. Matures about 
8 weeks earlier, See page 6. 
Yellow Type Sweet Clover—Lives: two 
years. Matures between Common and 
Grundy County. Finer stemmed and leafy. 
Mostly all yellow blossom. See page 8. 
Hubam Type—An annual Sweet Clover. 
Makes complete growth in the same year 
it is sown. Blooms, bears seeds same 
year sown. See page 8. 























Also Called Grundy County Type Sweet Clover 
Is the finest quality, like Lot ‘‘Cream’’ on next page. This 
smaller type of Sweet Clover originated over 25 years ago in 
Grundy Co., Ill., which is about 60 miles southwest of Chicago. 
Has same characteristics as the yellow blossom. Seldom grows 
over 3% feet high. Many farmers in Grundy Co. still call ite 
Grundy Co. Dwarf Sweet Clover. Many call it Dwarf Sweet 
Clover to distinguish it from the big, tall White Sweet Clover. 
Lot ‘‘High-Test’” has a big hidden value. -It is about_10 or 
2 days earlier than the tall White Sweet Clover. Makes finer 
stemmed hay. , Costs less to sow, because it only takes 11 to 12 
Ibs. per acre. Has high purity and germination, Lot ‘“High- 
Test’? is one of our fine Star Bargains. 






























Gentlemen: I bought Sweet Clover from’ you Circleville, Ohio.
