E CONTINUE our well-known policy of handling just one 
grade of seeds, and that the best money will buy; nothing 
else goes into our warehouse, and nothing but the best can 
therefore go out to our customers. 
The average analysis of D. B. Brand Clover and Grass Seeds at 
various experiment stations was above 99.60 per cent purity. Part of 
the samples were drawn by the official inspectors, some sent direct by us, 
and one-half were made for our customers. 
Thoroughly cleaned seed of high germination, and from regions 
adapted for sowing in your territory, is the kind you want to sow. 
The Clovers and other Legumes will put atmospheric nitrogen in the 
soil for you. Sow them liberally, and use Dibble’s D. B. Brand. ,

Sweet Clover. Biennial white blossom its the commonest type 
of Sweet Clover, and the one which has come to the front so 
rapidly in recent years for forage, pasture, and soil-improvement. 
It will grow in almost any climate and on almost any type of 
soil, thriving on land too poor for Alfalfa or Red Clover. 
Mammoth Red Clover. Compared with the Medium Red 
Clover, its flower, foliage, and stems are of darker color; it is 
later in maturing and of larger growth. When grown on rich 
bottom-lands or heavily fertilized soil, it makes a very rank growth 
and often is very coarse; hence the names Sapling Clover, Big 
Clover, or Pea-vine Clover. One of the best soiling crops. It is 
recommended for soils of ordinary or low productivity because 
here it will make a growth similar to Medium Clover on more 
fertile soils. A good stand of Mammoth Clover will last from 
2 to 7 years, depending on conditions. Being 10 to 14 days later 
than Medium Clover, it will mature with Timothy. 
Medium Red Clover. The common Red Clover largely 
grown throughout the country. This Clover requires well- 
drained soil and is especially suitable to rich bottom-lands or 
soils heavily fertilized. If cut early rt is possible in a good season 
to get two or three cuttings. 
Alsike Clover. The hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, 
moist soils it yields enormous crops. Its greatest value is for 
sowing with other Clovers and grasses, especially with Timothy. 
Ladino Clover. A very large species of White Dutch Clover 
More perennial in type than either Red or Alsike and used in 
pasture and hay mixtures where the aftermath is to be grazed. 
White Dutch Clover. A low Clover that spreads by sending 
out creeping stems that root at the joints. Not adapted for hay 
but used in pasture and lawn mixtures. On acid soils it quickly 
disappears. 
Wild White Clover. A wild form of White Dutch Clover and a 
true perennial. On sweet-soils it will survive indefinitely without 
reseeding. Use In the better grades of pasture and lawn mixtures.
