The features or qualities which make Sweet 
Clover so valuable are: First, the ability to 
thrive, produce good hay and good pasture on 
very poor soils; and, second, the ability to im- 
prove the soil on which it is growing. 
Although Sweet Clover is very hardy and will 
thrive in the most unfavorable places, it is some- 
times difficult to get a good stand. This diffi- 
culty can be overcome by sowing the seed on a 
thoroughly compacted seed bed with just enough 
loose dirt to cover and by sowing scarified seed. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba.) 
A biennial, grows to a height of from 4 to 6 feet, vig- 
orous grower, extremely hardy and produces abundant 
pasturage and lots of hay. This is the standard Sweet 
Clover of the country. 
BIENNIAL YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Mel- 
ilotus officinalis.) This is also a biennial, about two 
weeks earlier than the white, but not quite .as tall. Do 
not confuse this with the annual Yellow Blossom which 
is of very little value. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratensis.) Be careful to select 
seed which does not contain Buckhorn. You can de- 
pend on our Sunflower and Columbine brands of Red 
Clover. 
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium Repens.) A hardy peren- 
nial, excellent for mixing with Kentucky Blue Grass for 
lawns and pasture. 
ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium Hybridum.): Especially val- 
uable for growing on wet or Swampy land. 
MAMMOTH SAPLING or PEA VINE CLOVER. A rank 
grower which makes it a valuable fertilizer. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER. A clover that is becoming 
very popular for use on alkali ground. It makes excel- 
lent pasture for live stock and will thrive, when once 
established, in very wet ground. It will even grow right 
under water. Five or six pounds will cover an acre. 
Where it is difficult to get a stand from seed, we rec- 
ommend growing Strawberry Clover in good soil and 
transplanting it on the poor soil. 
MOUNTAIN BROME GRASS (Bromus Marginatus.) A 
perennial bunch grass that starts very early in the 
spring and stays green longer than most grasses. 
Hardy and stands drought well. Mixes well with Al- 
falfa. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre.

GRASS SEEDS 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata.) 
droughts, grows well in the shade, flourishes in wet 
or poor ground. Good pasture for cows. Sow 20 to 25 
pounds per acre. 
Withstands 
BROMUS INERMIS or HUNGARIAN BROME GRASS. 
Cattle like it, wonderful drought resister, and will 
stand intense cold. Aside from alfalfa no grass has 
fulfilled the promise to the western farmer better than 
Bromus Inermis. 
BERMUDA GRASS (Cynadon Dactylon.) Bermuda grass 
lawns remain green all summer without artificial wa- 
tering. Seed is sown at the rate of one pound to 500 
square feet, for lawns and 8 to 5 pounds per acre for 
pasture. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense.) Well adapted to spring 
and summer grazing, greatly relished by all kinds of 
stock, especially horses. Excellent hay crop. Sow 10 
to 12 pounds to the acre. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum Smithii:) Grows 
taller than Crested Wheat Grass and produces more 
hay and seed per acre, but does not provide as much 
pasturage. A good drought resister and perennial. 4 
MEADOW FESCUE or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Fes- 
tuca Pratensis.) Especially adapted for permanent pas- 
ture. Succeeds on poor soils, makes good hay earlier 
than other varieties, cattle thrive on it whether in dry 
or green state. Withstands dry weather and freezing, 
and produces an abundant crop of seed. Sow 15 to 20 
pounds to the acre. A mixture of 2, Meadow Fescue 
and 4% Kentucky Blue Grass is fine for lawns.
