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












































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 
to 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 say- 
ing prices. 
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%. Itis a 
. wonderful crop for pasture, soil building and pro- 
duces heavy crops of hay. Lives two years. 
Grundy OUR Ly Type—This type of Sweet Clover has 
almost become extinct. In Grundy Co.,, 
Ill., where it originated, most of it has

Lot “UNIVERSAL” 
LOT “UNIVERSAL” 
Here is a real value that will save you money. We bought this seed 
last fall before the advance in the market. Is a nice smooth lot of 
seed that will please you. Most of this seed comes from northern 
Illinois and northwestern Ohio. This Yellow Blossom has about the 
same habits of growth as the Grundy Co. Sweet Clover. Some of our 
customers claim they have better luck in getting a stand by sowing 
the Yellow Blossom. This means‘it will grow under less favor- 
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

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, (Signed) Harvey M. Bode, 

Gentlemen: I bought Sweet Clover from you 
last 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.
