6 Poor Land Is Unprofitable. Sweet Clover Builds It Up Quickly 
WOND 


ER 













Domestic Northern Grown 
More land is going to be sown to clovers and grass 
this year. Sweet Clover is a great favorite because 
it excels in soil building: and is the cheapest of-all 
ito buy. Seed supplies are not large. Already 
market advances show the tremendous demand for 
this crop. We bought large supplies early. As 
long as they last you can buy at our money sav- 
ing prices. 
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 SWEET CLOVER 
spring. Unhulled is not recommended for 
late spring seeding as it is slower in ger- OT 
minating. A good time to sow is Decem- s ; 
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 AND TYPES 
SWEET CLOVER—This is the White type. Is 
generally known as the tall Sweet Clover. In the 
large »producing sections of Minnesota and the 
Dakotas some yellow has gotten into the fields. 
Because of these conditions it may contain some 
yellow or mottled seeds, around 2 to 4%. Itisa 
wonderful crop for pasture, soil building and pro- 
duces heavy crops of hay. Lives two years. 
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—Liyes 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. 
Now grown in several,states. Has same characteristics as the yel- 
low blossom. Seldom grows over 3% feet high. Many farmers in 
Grundy Co. still call it Grundy Co. Dwarf Sweet Clover. Many 
call it Dwarf Sweet Clover to distinguish it from the big, tall White 
Sweet Clover. This lot contains around 4 to 6 yellow or mottled 
seeds in 100 seeds. 
Lot ‘‘High-Test’’ has a big hidden value. It is about 10 or 
12 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 
ast spring, and sowed it on a stock field, on 
very steep ground sloping to the west. I have 
a fine stand, pastured it through the dry months 
and it is now over knee high. I am well pleased 
with the Red Tag Grimm Alfalfa seed bought 
from you last spring. (Signed) J. Ralph Meyer. 
Circleville, Ohio. 
Gentlemen: Enclosed find another order for 
clover seed. This is my third year ordering 
clover from you. Am more than pleased with the 
last two clover seedings, both in price and qual- 
ity. I had the only good piece of Sweet Clover 
Seed in this neighborhood last summer. 
Yours. truly, (Sisned) Harvey M_. Boda,
