Probably the most widely grown legume for soil 
building purposes, Sweet Clover has gained in prominence more rapidly than any other clover. It produces 
an abundance of highly nutritious feed either as hay or pasture and is extremely profitable in some sections 
as a seed crop. The biennial sweet clovers are most common; however, the annual types are highly profitable 
especially for use in one year rotation programs, . 
Sweet Clover has a heavy deep penetrating root system which adds enormous quantities of plant food 
to the soil in the forms of nitrogen and organic matter, while better aeration and drainage are provided at 
the same time. The value of Sweet Clover as a plow under or green manure crop is well known by the thou- 
sands of farmers who grow it every year. Corn, following Sweet Clover produces greatly increased yields 
as do other grain crops. It can be grown on some soils that will not produce alfalfa and other clovers. 
Supplies of Sweet Clover are limited again this year. The U. S. crop is about 40% short of an average 
crop. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates there will be approximately 260% more Sweet Clover 
planted in 1950 than in 1948. We advise you to order early as we anticipate an unusually heavy demand 
for top grade seed, 
PINNACLE BRAND 
WHITE BLOSSOM 
ITEM SWEET CLOVER 
No. 83 White Blossom is the tallest growing 
GREEN variety of the biennial strains. Many prefer 
PRICE LIST it because it provides a heavier growth for 
plowing under. It blooms about two weeks 
later than Yellow Blossom. Has an enor- 
mous carrying, capacity when used as pas- 
ture. Sweet Clover provides an abundance of late summer 
pasture the first year of planting under normal conditions. 
This is our top grade seed, thoroughly recleaned and 
scarified. We recommend planting about 15 lbs. per acre. 
Can be sown on top of Winter Wheat early in the spring 
or with spring grains. Broadcasting or drilling either one 
are satisfactory; however, care should be taken to cover 
the seed lightly. With all types of Sweet Clover very scarce 
this year, you should find this value exceptionally attrac- 
ules White Blossom is even shorter in supply than Yellow 
ossom,
