CLOVERS 

RED CLOVER 
Has long been the leading Clover, 
especially where crops are rotated. 
It matures so early that it may be 
followed by a second crop such as 
additional hay, late pasture, or a 
cash crop from seed for which there 
is usually a ready demand. It adds 
nitrogen to the ground it grows on 
if left there to mature, and for this 
reason is a real benefit to the land. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
99.30% Pure Seed. Lb. 60 cts.; 
bus. $35.25.

Wetsel’s Clovers now available 
in 1l-bushel bags at no extra 
cost. 
MAMMOTH or SAPLING CLOVER 
Widely used for seeding with timothy and then cut as hay. Matur- 
ing later than Red Clover, it ripens more uniformly with timothy. 
Produces a larger growth, resulting in greater tonnage on a given area. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
99.30% Pure Seed. Lb. 61 cts.; bus. $35.75. 

GRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER 
- One of the best crops for green manuring, and furnishes fine pasture 
in fall, winter, and spring. It improves poor land and through its 
nitrogen-gathering properties restores the fertility of those that have 
been worn down by excessive cropping. May be planted in fall, spring, 
or summer. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 25 ects.; bus. $14.40. 


RED CLOVER 

LADINO CLOVER 
Although not yet extensively used in this territory, Ladino is be- 
coming more popular, for it produces an excellent pasture. It is a 
perennial plant, sending up large leaves on long stems, which soon 
cover the ground between plants. Farmers are using it to pasture 
their cattle, and many poultrymen are planting Ladino fer ranges. 
Certified. Lb. $2.20; 5 lbs. $10.90. 
Affidavit. Lb. $1.90; 5 lbs. $9.40. 
SWEET CLOVER 
Avery good crop to improve the soil, when it reaches a reasonable 
stand. It will grow in almost any kind of ground, but best results 
come when the land is amply limed and the seed inoculated. When 
sown in the spring, a nurse crop should be used, to help keep down 
weeds. Small grains such as oats or fall-sown grains are good for this 
purpose. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. of scarified or hulled seed per acre in late 
February, March and April. Usually either White or Yellow Blossom 
is available; White is somewhat smaller and about ten days earlier 
than the Yellow. 
White Blossom. Lb. 20 cts.; bus. $11.50. 
Yellow Blossom. Lb. 20 cts.; bus. $11.50. 
BOTH PREMIUM GRADE 
UNHULLED SWEET CLOVER 
Unhulled seed can be planted earlier—in January or February, 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. This earlier sowing usually results in a 
quicker start in the spring and often a more dense growth. 
White or Yellow Unhulled Seed. Lb. 17 cts.; 100 lbs. $15.50. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
For lawns and pastures. Produces a low, compact growth, covering 
the ground like a carpet, but is more satisfactory when used in mix- 
tures with other grasses. Sow in spring or fall, 8 to 12 lbs. per acre if 
planted alone. Lb. 95 cts.; 5 lbs. $4.60. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
A very hardy Clover that is growing more popular in recent years 
because it frequently takes hold where other Clovers fail, especially 
in low, wet soil or high gravel ground. It provides desirable hay, and 
is excellent for improving the soil. Sow 8 lbs. to the acre. 
Bory Oanars Seed. Lb. 58 cts.; bus.
