RED CLOVER-TIMOTHY-LADINO 
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. 
The Timothy in this mixture serves 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 insulat- 
ing blanket which helps to prevent winter killing in clovers. This 
year we are Gro-Coating all of our Mixtures because we believe that 
_-Gro-Coated seed gives you a big extra measure of assurance of get- 
ting stands. Remember this when you compare prices. It’s 2c a 
pound less when you don’t Gro-Coat, but that’s only 15¢ to 20c an 
acre, Be sure to read about it in this catalog, 
Super Quality, Contains 35% Red Clover 
This is an old favorite combination that we do not believe 
will ever lose its popularity. The seed in it is all hardy, home 
grown Medium Red Clover and fine, hardy Iowa grown Timothy 
seed. Both of these crops are adapted for seeding throughout 
the entire northern half of the United States, There is plenty 
of Clover seed to give you a good stand. See the figures below. 
Now that the seed is Gro-Coated, you have better assurance than 
ever of getting excellent stands even under unfavorable condi- 
tions. 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. 
~ RED CLOVER- ALSIKE and TIMOTHY MIXTURE 
ALFALFA"RED CLOVER-TIMOTHY 
60% Alfalfa and Clover, Balance Timothy 
See Item 102 on Price List 
This is a mixture that has also been prepared in response to a 
great many requests. It is made up of approximately 30% Alfalfa, 
380% Red Clover and 40% 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 Beauty described on page 24. It contains 
a little less Alfalfa,~but it has the Timothy which the Lot Beauty 
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 
euts 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’19. However, this will make a splendid seeding 
just the way it comes. When you seed this at 8 to 10 pounds to the 
acre you will have a very satisfactory seeding, 12 pounds we would 
consider a liberal seeding. Our low prices are possible because some 
of the lots of seed we buy are grown mixed and those can be pur- 
chased at reduced cost and we add alfalfa or clover as needed to 
make a uniform mixture, It’s Gro-Coated, j 
Regular Grade Contains 20% 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 combination. 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 20% Alsike you. have about as 
many clover seeds as a 45% 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 
380 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, 
Regular Grade, Contains 30% Clovers 
This is another. fine lot of hardy, home grown, recleaned seed. Has 
a goodly percentage of Clovers to produce heavy yields of fine seed. 
The biggest 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 
to the acre will give you 380 clover seeds per square foot. That is 
plenty for a good stand of Clover. In addition you have the Timothy 
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 
erosion. A seeding like this Mixture is good for hay,
