8 Poor Land Is Unprofitable. Sweet Clover Builds It Up Quickly 

Domestic Northern Grown 
More land is going to be sown to clovers and 
it excels in soil building and is the cheapest of all 
to buy. Seed supplies are not large. Already 
market advances show the tremendous demand 
this crop. We bought large supplies’ early. 
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 
spring. Unhulled is not recommended for 
late spring seeding as it is slower in ger- 
minating. A good time to sow is Decem- 
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. 










Gentlemen: I bought Sweet Clover 
last spring, and sowed it on a stock 











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, 

ness J VARIETIES AND TYPES 
this year. Sweet Clover is a great favorite because 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 
srow as tall as the common Sweet Clover. Matures about 
3 weeks earlier. See page 8. 
Yellow Type Sweet Clover—Lives two 
years. Matures between Common and 
Grundy County. Finer stemmed and leafy. 
Mostly all:yellow blossom. See page 10.

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-
