Seeds 
For increased yields inoculate 
Clover and Alfalfa with Legume- 
Aid. See page 68. 
For over 70 years it has been our policy to supply the very best of everything we sell, and farm seeds are 
no exception. Not only is every lot of seed offered selected for purity, freedom from weed seed, and high ger- 
mination but the origin is also considered. This is very important with many kinds of seed, particularly the 
Clovers and Alfalfa. When estimating your seed requirements, consider your crops and decide that you want 
the very best—and with this in mind you will order Scott’s Seeds. Remember we promise to furnish plump, 
clean, healthy seeds that you can depend upon for hardiness, vitality, and stamina—seeds that have made 
money for successful farmers for more than 70 years. 
CLOVERS 
MEDIUM RED. Most popular Clover for short rotations. When 
grown with timothy it usually makes two good hay crops. 
Plants grow 2 feet or more in height. Sow seed in late winter 
on winter grains or on a firm seed-bed with spring grain. Sow 8 
to 10 pounds with timothy, or 15 to 18 pounds alone. 
MAMMOTH RED. Also called Sapling Clover. This Clover cuts 
a heavier first crop of hay, does better on poorer, drier soils, 
and is more persistent than Medium Red. Valuable for the 
grower who needs maximum organic matter to plow down. 
ALSIKE. A favorite with timothy on acid soils, thin soils, and 
for wet sites. It may be sown in spring or late summer and is 
perfectly hardy. Flowers are sweet-scented and attractive to 
bees, are larger and more pink than White Clover. Adapted 
only to short rotations. Sow 8 to 10 pounds to the acre alone, 
or 3 to 6 pounds in mixtures. 
SWEET CLOVER. The biennial form is most popular for soil 
improvements, pasture, or hay. It does best on sweet (neutral) 
soils and will grow luxuriantly on land too poor for Red Clover 
or alfalfa. It reseeds itself the year after sowing if not cut. 
Annual forms of this legume do not do well this far north. 
Seed should be inoculated. Sow 10 to 20 pounds to the acre, 
the heavier rate if seeded alone. 
CRIMSON. Popular in southern part of region for green- 
manure crop and soil improvement. Often sown in corn at last 
cultivation for winter cover-crop. For hay, plants should be 
cut in pre-bloom stage. Seed 20 pounds to the acre any time 
after April 1. Plants are annual, requiring reseeding each year. 
LADINO. A giant form of White Clover with heavy stems which 
hug the ground and take root at the nodes (joints). Very popu- 
lar, nutritious, and high-yielding when properly used as pas- 
ture for poultry, dairy cattle, beef, sheep, and hogs. A favorite 
as a cover-crop in sod orchards. Requires fertile soil and good 
management. Generally sown with other pasture grasses at 
the rate of 2 pounds per acre. 
WHITE DUTCH. A small, low-growing White Clover used 
principally in lawn and pasture mixtures. Less productive than 
Ladino for hay and pasture. Succeeds in nearly all types of 
soil and is quite persistent. Use 3 to 5 pounds to the acre in 
mixtures. 
WILD WHITE. A dwarf variety of White Clover, hardy and 
excellent for permanent pasture. Handle like White Clover. 
ALFALFA 
Alfalfa is of importance as a forage crop because of its high 
nutritive value, its palatability, productiveness, drought resis- 
tance, and long liveability. There is no other forage crop that will 
produce such an abundance of high-class protein feed. For all 
classes of livestock it is considered the best hay obtainable. It 
requires a well-drained neutral or alkaline soil and high fertility. 
Alfalfa is used alone and in mixtures with other grasses. It is 
usually seeded in the spring with fall- or spring-sown grains, but 
in some sections late summer seedings are popular. It will pro- 
vide two or three cuttings of hay in a season, and also makes 
excellent pasture for ail kinds of livestock. Seed should be inocu- 
lated. From 12 to 15 pounds of seed are usually sown to the acre 
when grown alone; half this quantity in mixtures. 
Northwestern Common. Grown successfully and entirely 
satisfactorily in this area. 
Grimm. Generally considered longer-lived and better adapted 
to severe winter weather. 
Ranger. A particular strain of Alfalfa that is highly resistant 
to the bacterial wilt disease. Where bacterial wilt is a serious 
factor or where the farmer expects to leave the Alfalfa stand 
a few years, it is much superior to other strains. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE 
A well-balanced pasture-producing mixture made up of the 
very highest grades of recleaned grass and clover seeds, which 
will produce an abundant and nutritious food-supply for all 
kinds of stock. Sow 40 pounds to the acre. 5 Ibs. $3.25, 10 Ibs. 
$6.25, 25 lbs. $14.75, 50 Ibs. $28, 100 lbs. $55. 
Cyclone Seed Sower 
This Seed Sower can be used for 
sowing clover, timothy, lawn _ grass 
seed, and all other seeds that can be 
sown broadcast. Has positive force- 
feed and is quickly adjusted for differ- 
ent seeds. The touch of a lever will 
start or stop the flow of seed. Seed 
cannot clog or rush. Container is made 
of heavy canvas ducking and_ holds 
about 14 bushel. Price, $3.75.
