Probably the most widely grown legume for soil-build- 
ing 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 ex- 
tremely profitable in some sections as a seed crop. The 
biennial sweet clovers are most common; however, the an- 
nual 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 thousands 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. We 
advise you to order early as we antioipate an unusually 
heavy demand for top grade seed.

PINNACLE BRAND 
WHITE BLOSSOM 
No 83 SWEET CLOVER 
Q. ‘ 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- 
tive. White Blossom is even shorter in supply than Yellow 
Blossom. See page 3 for information on Gro-Coated seed.

SENSATIONAL NEW 
MADRID SWEET CLOVER 
Madrid Sweet Clover is a new variety of biennial Yel- 
low Blossom. The first year growth of Madrid is much 
more vigorous than the common Yellow Blossom. The 
stem of the plant is finer and the foliage is heavier, mak- 
ing it an ideal crop for pasture or hay. It matures about 
a week later than Common Yellow Blossom and seems to 
be a more dependable seed producer. Two of its most de- 
sirable features are its resistance to frost and the excep- 
tionally heavy foliage. Madrid has been highly publi- 
cized in recent issues of farm publications. We consider 
it well adapted to all Sweet Clover areas 
and it should be handled in much the same 
manner as.Common Sweet Clover. Sow NG ot 
about 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. Our supply ve 
is very limited and we will be unable to Price fee 
secure additional stocks after we are sold 
out.
