CLOVER and 
GRASS SEED 
Good Seed Is Always the Cheapest 
CLOVER 
The features or qualities which make Sweet 
Clover so valuable are: First, the ability to 
thrive, produce good hay and good pasture on 
very poor soils; and, second, the ability to im- 
prove the soil on which it is growing. 
Although Sweet Clover is very hardy and will 
thrive in the most unfavorable places, it is some- 
times difficult to get a good stand. This diffi- 
culty can be overcome by sowing the seed on a 
thoroughly compacted seed bed with just enough 
loose dirt to cover and by sowing scarified seed. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus alba.) 
A biennial, grows to a height of from 4 to 6 feet, vig- 
orous grower, extremely hardy and produces abundant 
pasturage and lots of hay. This is the standard Sweet 
Clover of the country. 
BIENNIAL YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Mel- 
ilotus officinalis.) This is also a biennial, about two 
weeks earlier than the white, but not quite as tall. Do 
not confuse this with the annual Yellow Blossom which 
is of very little value. 
HUBAM CLOVER. Annual White Blossom that produces 
an abundance of hay or green manure the first year. 
MADRID SWEET CLOVER. An improved variety of 
biennial Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. Produces 
heavier yields and more valuable hay than Common 
Yellow Blossom. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratensis.) Be careful to select — 
seed which does not contain Buckthorn. You can de- 
pend on our Sunflower and Columbine brands of Red 
Clover. 
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium Repens.) A hardy peren- 
nial, excellent for mixing with Kentucky Blue Grass for 
lawns and pasture. 
ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium Hybridum.) Especially val- 
uable for growing on wet or swampy land. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER. A clover that is becoming 
very popular for use on alkali ground. It makes excel- 
lent pasture for live stock and will thrive, when once 
established, in very wet ground. It will even grow right 
under water. Five or six pounds will seed an acre. 
Where it is difficult to get a stand from seed, we rec- 
ommend growing Strawberry Clover in good soil and 
transplanting it on the poor soil. 
LADINO CLOVER. A giant form of White Clover, grow- 
ing 2 to 4 times as large.

INTERMEDIATE WHEAT GRASS. A tall bluish-green, 
sod forming perennial grass that produces a heavy 
growth of basal leaves. Growth starts early in the 
spring, and continues on into the summer; greens up 
in fall after short dormant period. Highly nutritious. 
does well on dry land and under irrigation. Drill seed 
¥% to % inch deep in heavy soils and 1% inches deep 
in sandy land. Plant 8 to 10 pounds per acre for solid 
stands, and 4 pounds per acre for seed production in 
40 inch rows. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense.) Well adapted to spring 
and summer grazing, greatly relished by all kinds of 
stock, especially horses. Excellent hay crop. Sow 10 
to 12 pounds to the acre.
