OLDS’ HARDY NORTHERN CLOVER SEED 
SOW 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

BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
BROAD LEAF 
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 
of one pound, Prices: 1 1b., $2.00; 5 Ibs., 
$9.75, postpaid. By freight or express

MIDLAND RED CLOVER 
The result of thirteen years of breeding, testing, and 
increasing through cooperative efforts of the Ohio, Indiana, 
Illinois, Iowa, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, 
and Montana Agricultural Experiment Stations. It is a 
composite of equal proportions of four old strains, Rahn 
and Letcher, Poland, Otten, and Emerson. In recent years 
Kirch and Van Fossen strains have been substituted for 
Poland as they were more satisfactory. Its superiority to 
other strains of red clover are its good growth character- 
istics, more winter hardy, and shows some resistance to 
Northern Anthracnose. It is adaptable to the middle or 
central part of the corn belt states. Prices: Certified Idaho,
