RED CLOVER: TIMOTHY-LADINO 
Contains 70% Clovers, Balance Timothy 
See Item 101 on Price List 
This is a mixture that is very popular with our customers who 
want principally Red Clover. It contains almost double the amount 
of Red Clover as found in the Timothy and Red Clover Super Mix- 
ture, described below. In addition you have the Ladino Clover. 
Ladino Clover, especially in mixtures, is a very desirable thing to 
have. It adds to the yield of hay. This fine leafy clover is a tre- 
mendous producer. There may be spots in the field where the Red 
- Clover would not take that the Ladino would cover in a short time. 
Frequently after taking off a hay crop it is desirable to use the field 
—< for pasture. Some Ladino in it helps to increase the production of 
_ the pasture yield. ‘

2 There is just enough Timothy in this mixture to serve as a good 
support for the Clover. You have nicer Clover as a rule, when you 
; keep it growing erect with some grass mixed in with it. Then also 
the roots of the Timothy help to hold the soil better. It makes a sort 
; of an insulating blanket which helps to prevent winter killing in 
_ clovers. This is the first year that we have had a mixture just like 
this but we know it will be a very popular one as we have had many 
k requests for a mixture rich in clovers. With Red Clover scarce and 
} getting scarcer, you have an opportunity here to reduce seeding 
costs and still get a very splendid Clover seeding. ; 
T RED CLOVER-TIMOTHY. 
Super Quality, Contains 40% Red Clover 
We have increased the Clover content of practically all of our 
mixtures this year. We find that our customers prefer mixtures 
rather rich in Clover. With Timothy scarce we can make up a 
combination like this at very reasonable costs by using some 
lots of Clovers that might contain a trace of other Clovers, It 
would not be more than a trace, however, if at all present. We 
can give you in this way a price that is materially less and a 
value to you that is greatly increased. Good Clover is hard to 
beat as a soil builder in the corn belt. It leaves the land in 
ideal condition for a corn crop. This mixture of Timothy and 
Red Clover makes a fine sod. When plowed under it adds a lot 
of humus and nitrogen to the soil. Humus is very important 
because it stimulates the growth of favorable bacteria and thus 
releases plant food that growing plants otherwise could not 
get. The Timothy helps the clover to grow erect and produces 
finer, better, taller stands. The Clover helps the Timothy by 
enriching its feeding value. These mixtures, together, yield 
more than when sown separately. At 8 to 10 lbs. per acre you 
will have a very satisfactory seeding that will give you 23 to 
28 clover seeds per square foot. This is a splendid value. See 
Item No. 98 on Price List, ‘ 














This seeding is now more than twice as rich in clovers as it has 
been in previous years, when it ran 20% Clover combined. The big- 
gest portion of the seeding is the Red Clover as the Alsike has 
; somewhat smaller seeds. By having both Red and Alsike, you have 
_ better assurance of getting a stand. Often the Alsike will take hold 
in places where the Red Clover might not catch. Thus you can have 
a good Clover stand over the entire field. A seeding of 7 to 8 pounds 
7 to the acre will give you 40 clover seeds per square foot. That is 
_ plenty for a good stand of Clover. In addition you have the Timothy 
nS to hold up the Clover. More and more we are realizing 
that the addition of some grasses to a clover seeding 
is a great help, especially where there is trouble with

80% Alfalfa and Clover, Balance Timothy 
See Item 102 on Price List 
This is a mixture that has also been prepared in response to 4 
great many requests. It is made up of approximately 60% Alfalfa, 
20% Red Clover and 20% Timothy. Now you can_use this seeding 
just the way it is and you will find it a dandy. It is, in some re- 
spects, similar to the Lot Leader described on page 24. It contains 
a little less Alfalfa but it has the Timothy which the Lot Leader 
does not have. We like the addition of the Timothy because it helps 
to make a better sod. This is especially valuable where you have 
danger from soil washing. The fact that you have a better sod also 
cuts down the danger of winter killing on the Red Clover and the 
Alfalfa. It keeps the land from heaving and also acts as sort of a 
blanket. The Timothy really helps out the hay stand. If you decide 
to use the crop for pasture you may have grass in with it because 
the Timothy reduces the danger of bloat. 
It might be that you would like to have more grass besides the 
Timothy. There are some who like to add Brome Grass to it, or if 
you want a wide variety of grasses you can use the Master Mixture 
as described on page 20. However, this will make a splendid seeding 
just the way it comes. When you seed this at 10 pounds to the acre 
you will have a very satisfactory seeding, 12 pounds we would con- 
sider a liberal seeding. Our low prices are possible because some of 
the lots of seed we buy are grown mixed and those can be purchased 
at reduced cost and yet give you fine quality, hardy, domestic seed 
at a very attractive quotation. 
"_ALSIKE~ 
Regular Grade Contains 35% Alsike 
See Item 96 on Price List 
This is one of our lower cost seedings and a very good one. 
Timothy and Alsike makes an excellent combinatton. The two 
crops are adapted to the same types of soils and climatic con- 
ditions. They are very winter hardy and mature at the same 
time. Alsike is a smooth stemmed clover. Alsike hay is less 
dusty than that from Red Clover and pound for pound it is 
higher in feeding value. There are more than twice as many 
Alsike Clover seeds per pound as there are Red Clover, so when 
you sow a mixture containing 35% Alsike you have about as 
many clover seeds as a 75% Mixture of Red Clover. This seed- 
ing makes a very fine quality of hay and it also is widely used 
for pasture. Sow this at 8 pounds to the acre, you have about 
40 clover seeds per square foot. The Timothy in the mixture 
helps to hold the clover erect and that is especially helpful in' 
a combination for Alsike. This seeding will grow on land too 
acid for Red Clover and will stand somewhat more severe win- 
ter conditions. The Alsike is also a perennial Clover instead of 
a biennial. It is a real good seeding at a real low price.

erosion. A seeding like this Mixture is good for hay, soil improve- 
ment as well as erosion control. All the seed is recleaned. You 
have real money saving opportunities in Berry’s prepared mixtures. 
Remember you can have any of them chemically treated in advance 
for a cent per pound which makes it cost only a few cents per acre. 
Be sure to read page 33 of our catalog for more detailed informa- 
tion regarding this. Our Lot Just Rite described on page 24 is a 
similar mixture but contains more clovers. See pages 20 and 21 for 
other fine mixed seedings. Berry’s values in mixtures are natfonally 
famous. If you want something different you can use 
one of our mixtures as a base and then add to it what- 
ever you desire, See Item No. 97 on Price List. 
Can Sow Our Seed with Confidence 
Dear Sirs: Lebanon, Ind. 
I have a farm of only 120 acres and it is very 
essential that I have good crops of ciovers each year 
for the cattle, sheep and hogs that I feed and raise. 
T have found in the last 8 or 9 years that ] can sow 
your seeds with confidence. 
Yours sincerely, Artie E. Stuart.
