RED CLOVER, ALSIKE- 
and TIMOTHY MIXTURE 
Regular grade contains 30% Clover 
This is a fine lot of hardy, home grown, recleaned seed. It contains 
a goodly percent of clovers, enough to produce a heavy yield of fine 
feed. In making up this mixture, we use more Red Clover than we 
do Alsike. The Alsike seeds are smaller, therefore a smaller percent- 
age will give about the same number of seed as Red Clover. By hav- 
ing both Red Clover 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 have better assurance of having a 
good clover stand over the entire field. 
When you sow this at 10 lbs. to the acre, you will have 30 to 35 
clover seeds per square foot. That is plenty for a good stand of 
clover. This is especially true when you have Timothy in with it. 
Timothy occupies part of the ground and it also holds the Clover 
erect so that it makes a more satisfactory growth. Together they 
can produce a tremendous amount of seed. More and more we are 
realizing that the addition of grasses to a clover seeding is a great 
help. This is especially true when there is trouble with soil erosion. 
The grass in it makes a better sod and thus reduces the danger of 
soil washing. So, you have soil improvement as well as erosion 
control. 
FOR 
Good for Hay and Pasture 
The way the Clover grows up in this seeding gives it a heavy leafy clover con- 
tent that is high in protein. The clover in the mixture tends to draw nitrogin into 
the soil, from which the Timothy benefits, thus raising the feeding value, as well 
as the palatability of the grass. By having a relatively high percentage of grass in 
it, the danger of bloat is reduced to a minimum for a clover pasture, And made 
into hay, this cures up more rapidly than the straight clover hay. 
This seed is all recleaned and we have installed special machines to blend this 
as carefully as possible so the mixture will be uniform throughout. This will 
give you a better seeding. Berry’s values in seed mixtures are nationally fa- 
mous, and at the price, you will find the value in this Red Clover, Alsike & Tim- 
othy Mixed Regular grade to be an excellent one. Should you want more clovers, 
you could select the Lot Just Rite, that is described on page 24. It is very 
similar to this, but contains 50% Clovers, in place of 30, as in this regular Mix- 
ture, Page 21 will tell you about other mixtures. But if it is especially pasture 
mixture that you are looking for, you will find them on the opposite page 19. 
One thing that we want to emphasize is, that this is all Gro-Coated brand 
seed. See pages 2 and 3 of this book. It certainly will pay you to demand the 
original genuine Gro-Coated Brand. See item number 97 on the price list. 
AND HIGHER FEEDING 
oi 
VALUE 
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, 
30% 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 
cuts 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. 
Makes Rich High Protein Feed 
A combination that has about two-thirds legumes in it, is certainly 
a rich mixture. Clovers as we all Know, run higher in protein than 
grasses. The use of more clovers in mixtures both for hay and pas- 
ture is rapidly gaining in popular favor. Berry’s have always pushed 
these combinations and are glad to see others coming to the realiza- 
tion that these are splendid seedings to make. 
We can offer these mixtures to advantage because frequently we 
have an opportunity to secure some lots of seed that are grown 
mixed. Then we can add other seed to it, in order to make a mixture 
of the proportion you desire. You can buy these mixed seeds at very 
substantial discounts and still get seed of good character and quality. 
This seed in the Gro-Coated Brand helps insure satisfactory results. 
We guarantee you a liberal and genuine saving on this seeding that 
you may buy from us. Sow this at the rate of 8 to 10 lbs. seed 
per acre. 
You may wish to have a mixture with still more grasses, or clovers in it. 
We refer you to the descriptions in this book for different mixtures that are all 
ready prepared. Then again you may want to add other grasses such as Brome 
Grass, Alta or 144 Fescue, Orchard Grass, which make splendid combination with 
some of these seedings. Page 32 gives you a pretty good idea as to what to 
select for various soils and various purposes. However, this Alfalfa, Red Clover 
and Timothy Mixture No. 102 is one that is an excellent seeding just the way 
it comes and we can recommend it to you highly. 
ALSIKE and TIMOTHY MIXTURE 
Regular Grade Contains 20% Alsike 
Both the Timothy and 
Alsike are adapted to similar types of soil and climatie conditions. 
Both of them are very winter hardy and mature at the same time. 
This is a combination that is a natural. 
Alsike is a smooth stemmed clover. The hay is less dusty than that 
from Red Clover. Pound for pound, it has higher feeding value. 
There are more than twice as many Alsike Clover seeds per pound as 
there are Red Clover. When you sow a mixture containing 20% 
Alsike, you have about as many Clover seeds as you would in a 45% 
mixture of Red Clover. This is a seeding that makes a fine quality 
of hay. This is also widely used for pasture. When you sow this at 
8 lbs. to the acre you have about 30 more clover seeds per square 
foot. You have the Timothy in the mixture to hold the clover erect. 
That is especially helpful in Alsike, as it is a finer stemmed clover 
than Red Clover. This seeding will grow on land that is too acid for 
Red Clover and will stand somewhat more severe winter conditions. 
a lsike is a perennial clover and will grow for several years from one 
seeding. 
Alsike and Timothy combination is one of the lower cost seed- 
ings that you can make. It was one of the first combinations to come 
on the market as mixed seed, for the reason that a considerable

amount of the seed is grown mixed. Thus we can offer this seed to 
unusually good advantage. We recleaned the seed, of course, thor- 
oughly, but do not intend to make the separation of the Timothy and 
the Alsike. This seeding is adapted throughout the northern half of 
the United States. If you have some land that is inclined to be wet, 
this mixture will go very nicely there. Of course, if the land is ex- 
tremely wet, it would be better to use some grasses like Meadow 
Foxtail or Reed Canary Grass in combination with Alsike. Timothy 
in itself, however, will stand quite a bit of moisture in the soil and 
will respond to it with an increased growth. You should not think, 
on the other hand, that it is a seeding to be made only on land that 
is inclined to be wet, because we have seen some very remarkable 
results on upland in seasons of favorable rainfall. If your land is
