Alsike or Hybrid Clover. (Trifolium Hybridum). 
Even poorly drained lands will produce a good 
crop of this; perennial and very hardy. It is very 
valuable both for pasturing and soiling; very pro- 
ductive, sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a dis- 
tinct light pink, and much liked by bees. 
Crimson Trefoil or Scarlet Italian Clover. (Tri- 
folium Incarnatum). An annual, valuable as a cover 
crop, soil improver or for fodder; attains a height 
of eighteen inches with pointed bright crimson 
blossoms. It is not reliably hardy north of Phila- 
delphia. 
White Clover. (Trifolium Repens). Thrives best 
in damp locations, and while not a heavy producer, 
it is valuable in permanent pastures. In connection 
with Blue Grass it affords the most nutritious food 
for sheep and cattle, and also makes a fine addition 
to mixture for lawns. Choice, (high test seed).

Sweet Clover. (Melilotus Albi). Valuable bien- 
nial, thrives almost anywhere except on acid soils. 
One of the greatest plants known for soil improve- 
ment; feed value equal to alfalfa; used extensively 
by bee-keepers. Sow at rate of 18 to 20 lbs. per 
acre; April or August usually most satisfactory. 
Red Clover, Medium. (Trifolium Pratense). The 
common variety, used with other grasses for either 
pasture or meadow. Domestic northern grown seed 
99.25% pure or better. 
Red Clover, Mammoth, or Pea Vine. Grows much 
taller than medium, with large, coarse stalks, and is 
largely used for plowing under for green manure. 
Alfalfa. (Medicago Sativa). Very productive, 
succeeds in any good soil that is well drained and 
not acid; lasts for a number of years. It thrives on 
dry, rich sandy soil, producing three or four cuttings 
annually, and even in seasons of severe drought it is 
always fresh and green, because the roots extend 
so deep into the soil. It grows two to three feet 
high, with purple blossoms. Hardiness and purity 
are of more importance when buying alfalfa seed 
than a slight difference in price. Sow 20 to 25 Ibs. 
per acre. Write for market price. 
Grimm Alfalfa. This is the very hardy variety 
which has given such satisfaction in our northeast- 
ern states. We exercise great care to have the genu- 
ine, and usually have State-sealed grades. Write
