OLDS’ HARDY NORTHERN CLOVER SEED bs 
SQW TESTED CLEAN SEED 
If you want the maximum returns from your land, do not plant country 
run clover seed or seed supplied you from a neighbor that has not been 
tested and cleaned, This is the way foul weeds are introduced to your 
land. Seed containing only 75% pure clean seed is an extravagant buy 
even if the price is one-half that of good clean seed showing a purity 
of 99% or better. All the seed that we have to offer is Hardy Northern 
grown, mostly Wisconsin. It is fine bright seed, plump and high testing. 
Plant seed that you can depend upon. Insist on having Olds’ Old Gold 
Brand ‘‘Known for Reliability’’ Clover Seed. 
Our Old Gold Brand represents the best and tests around 99.5% pure. 
Our Lakes Brand is fine clean seed, free of noxious weeds, but does 
not show as high a purity test. It usually runs 98% and higher. 
PLEASE NOTE: Our clover seed is all Hardy Northern grown and is 
eligible for Soil Conservation payments. 
ALSIKE CLOVER (xorrHerN crown) 
(Sow. 5 to 6 pounds to the acre.) 
Finer and more leafy than Red Clover, but grows to a good height 
and makes a heavy yield of hay. Goes much farther than Red Clover 
in seeding. Our Alsike is northern Wisconsin and Minnesota grown.

(Sow 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre.) 
(WISCONSIN GROWN.) 
Red. Clover is the most largely grown 
and generally useful legume crop in Amer- 
ica. In feeding value, the hay ranks next 
to alfalfa and as a soil builder it is the 
equal of any and superior to most. It 
should be grown on every farm where 
soil and climatic conditions permit as it 
is well adapted to growing in rotation. 
Red Clover is grown chiefly for hay and 
occasionally for pasture to plow under to 
improve the ‘soil. It is a biennial and will 
last for two seasons under good condi- 
tions. Requires a medium fertile to rich 
sweet soil with good drainage,

BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
Birdsfoot Trefoil is a long lived peren- 
nial with a well developed branching tap- 
like root with a few to many stems 
developing from each crown. The plants 
for the most part are erect or ascending, 
and attain the height of -12 to 30° inches. 
Stems are comparatively slender, branched 
to some extent and are moderately leafy. 
Each leaf has three leaflets borne at the 
end of a short petiole and has a clover- 
like appearance. In eastern New York 
and western Oregon it has become natural- 
ized and is proving valuable for forage 
and pasture. It is also grown as a mix- 
ture with other grasses. Plant alone for 
seed at the rate of 8 to 12 pounds per 
acre, and in grass mixtures at the rate
