Biennial Sweet Clover 
Because white and yellow blossom Sweet 
Clover Seed has become so mixed in seed pro- 
duction areas, it is impossible to offer straight 
White Blossom or pure Yellow Blossom Sweet 
Clover Seed and still meet requirements of the 
Federal Seed Act. 
Therefore, all sweet clover will be sold 
merely as Biennial Sweet Clover. However, in 
ordering, if you will state your preference of 
either White or Yellow, we will do our best to 
select lots which will come as close to your 
preference as possible, In other words, if you 
prefer White Blossom, the seed will probably 
be from 50% to 75% White, and the balance 
Yellow Blossom. , 
Characteristics of Biennial Types 
Tall, White Blossom: Tall growing and pro- 
ductive. Has a two weeks’ longer pasture 
season than yellow blossom. 
Yellow Blossom: A more prostrate, lower 
growing type, about two weeks earlier than 
white blossom and adapted to drier areas. 
It’s Still the Best!
