A boon to farmers wanting High-Grade Seeds at a Money-Saving Price. What they are, where they come from 
AN IDEAL SEEDING FOR 10 ACRES. 2 bushels of Timothy-Alsike Mixture plus 1 bushel of Medium or Mammoth Clover 
N SOME of the northwestern states, especially Minnesota, and 
in certain sections of Canada, Alsike and Timothy grow naturally 
together, ripen at the same time, are harvested and threshed, and 
as the seed grains of Alsike and Timothy are practically of the same 
size, the two varieties cannot be separated. 
We frequently are able to buy round lots of these fancy Mixtures 
containing 20 per cent or more of Alsike at only slightly higher prices 
than for the best Timothy, and as we pass these seeds on to you at 
our usual small margin of profit, you get the Alsike you need in your 
seeding Mixture at a little above the regular Timothy Price and then 
| 
| 
by adding the required amount of our D. B. Medium and Mammoth 
Clovers, you have an ideal Mixture and save money. 
This is briefly the story of the Natural Mixture. Now these Mix- 
tures are good, bad, and indifferent, and no one should buy a Mixture 
of any kind without a positive guarantee from a responsible seller 
as to the purity and also the percentage of each variety of seed in 
the Mixture. We sell just one grade—the best—and give, on our 
guarantee tag attached to each bag, the purity, germination, and 
percentage of Alsike and Timothy in this particular Mixture. The 
quantity of the two principal seeds may vary in different lots, but 
in all cases you will find “less than 14 of 1 per cent of weed seeds.”

For best growth, and to put atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, it 
pays to inoculate all legumes. The cost is trivial compared with the 
profit. Legumes are clovers, peas and beans, alfalfa, soy beans, 
vetches and other plants that grow seeds in a pod. Their roots are 
the home of bacteria that draw fertility-building nitrogen from the air 
and store it in swellings on the roots, called nodules. These nodules 
not only feed nitrogen to the crop they are on, but rot in the ground 
and supply valuable nitrogen to the soil.
