White Blossom 
Tall Biennial Sweet Clover. 
This makes the rankest, tallest growth of any 
clover, producing the biggest hay crops and most 
luxuriant pastures. Because of its dense growth 
and the great size of its root system, it is the 
best soil enricher and green fertilizer. It is the 
best crop to grow to prepare the ground for a 
stand of alfalfa. 
The plant looks much like alfalfa, especially 
when young, but the leaves are not quite as 
smooth, and taste slightly bitter. It forms a 
main stem from which the side branches grow, 
while in alfalfa the crown sends up numerous 
shoots. 
Our seed is of fine quality, free from foul 
weed seeds, and of highest germination. Price: 
Lb. 35c, postpaid. See Blue Figure Price List. 
Yellow Blossom 
Dwarf Biennial Sweet Clover. 
This variety grows shorter and is finer and 
more spreading than the white. It makes a very 
fine quality hay and pasture. Yellow Blossom 
Sweet Clover is 10 to 15 days earlier in matur- 
ing its seed, and where seasons are very short 
or unfavorable, there is an advantage in sowing 
this strain. 
It can be cut for hay very early, and close to 
the ground, whereas the white must be cut high. 
It is also excellent for bees, supplementing the 
use of the white variety, and extending the 
season, on account of its earliness. Price: Lb. 
35c, postpaid. See Blue Figure Price List. 
Grundy County 
Dwarf Biennial Sweet Clover, 
Grundy County Sweet Clover is preferred by 
many farmers since it does not grow quite as 
tall as the common White Blossom variety and 
it produces finer stems and a greater number 
of leaves, making it better adapted for hay pur- 
poses. 
It matures earlier so that the hay crop can 
be cut before the small grain is harvested. 
It produces a seed crop earlier than other va- 
rieties and this is an advantage in many local- 
ities that are subjected to early frosts. The hay 
cures more rapidly than the common tall variety 
and is very palatable. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover makes an ex- 
cellent pasture but it does not last as late in 
the season as the common tall variety. Price: 
Lb. 35c, postpaid. See Blue Figure Price List. 
Hubam 
Annual Sweet Clover. 
Hubam is an emergency pasture and hay crop 
to be sown in seasons where drought, freezing 
injury or other adverse conditions have wiped 
out pastures and meadows, leaving the farmers 
without any definite hay prospects. Hubam is 
a rapid grower and once it is well established 
can be pastured as you would pasture the bien- 
nial varieties of Sweet Clover. 
Hubam is an Annual Sweet Clover. It is best 
suited for the Corn Belt section. It grows from 
8 to 7 ft. high. It will produce as much as 
3 tons of hay per acre, cut just before blos- 
soming time. It grows on any good non-acid 
soil, and should be sown alone the same rate 
as other sweet clovers. Hubam will produce a 
seed crop in this latitude, in favorable growing 
seasons. Price: Lb. 40c, postpaid, See Blue 
Figure Price List.

Legume crops such as Sweet Clover will be in greater demand 
than ever before becauge of increased plantings for the maintenance 
of fertility under th&® U. 8S. Soil Conservation Program. Sweet 
Clover cannot be surpassed for soil improvement due to its rapidity 
of growth, large tonnage produced and its comparatively low seed 
sa Sweet Clover as a Hay or Pasture Crop . 
Sweet Olover is a leading crop in the United States. As a bi- 
ennial legume, it fits in with any crop rotation, besides yielding a 
very large return of hay and pasture. Sweet Clover may grow one 
to three feet the first season and may be clipped for hay or pastured 
lightly if it makes a good growth. During the second year it grows 
very dense and rapidly and if cut for hay, it should be done early 
in ‘the season, before the blossoms appear and the stems become 
woody. 
Cut Sweet Clover six to eight inches above the ground. Allow the 
hay to wilt a few hours, then place in small cocks until it is dry 
enough to stack. One acre furnishes pasture for two to four cows 
throughout the season. Cattle rarely bloat on it. 
As a Soil Builder and Weed Control 
Sweet Clover grows on clay, sandy, alkaline, or gumbo soil. It 
prevents drifting of shifting sandy soils. The hardpan subsoil is 
loosened by the heavy penetrating roots, allowing the necessary 
aeration and depositing large quantities of humus and nitrogen. 
Sweet Clover is a rank, dense grower of great value in exterminating 
weeds such as quack grass, thistle, etc. 
Use 15 Ibs. of scarified seed per acre with a nurse crop of one- 
half the usual seeding of grain or 28 to 35 lbs. of flax per acre. 
Firm the seed bed well after planting. Inoculate with Nitragin.

Herbert H. Lehman, the ex-

director of Foreign Relief and 
Rehabilitation in the State 
Department, says that at least 
500,000,000 people in Europe

In short, the American 
farmer is expected to produce 
crops for a world-wide system 
of “home relief,’’ as well as 
for his own folks. That may 
not be the nicest way to say 
it. But-it’s true ...and nec-
