Sweet Clover is an outstanding. soil improving crop. It is unexcelled for 
putting nitrogen into the soil as well as other elements of plant food that 
are made available when the crop decays. <A crop of sweet clover plowed 
under in the spring will increase corn yields as much as 20 bushel to the 
acre. There are some who will let the crop grow until it is in the full 
bloom stage. Somewhat higher fertility is returned in that way. When you 
follow that practice, however, it becomes too late to put the land to corn 
that year. If you plow it under early in the spring when it is six to eight 
inches high you can generally still put the land to corn and get wonderful 
results. We could give you results of many experiments on the fertility 
of sweet clover. Its effect on corn yields will illustrate what it can do for 
you. It has very strong tap roots that go down deep. The tap roots will 
break up heavy soils and permit better drainage. Sometimes they will 
break up hardpan. They decay quickly when plowed under. We do not rec- 
ommend plowing the same year it is sown unless you use Hubam, described’ 
on page 37. 
The first year Sweet Clover will afford pasture from the latter part of 
July until in October. In the spring you can get pasture from April to 
along in July with Yellow and from May until August with White. That ii 
is why a good many like to mix White and Yellow to prolong the pasture 
period. It is good for hog pasture if you keep it held down to a height 
of around 15 inches. It has a tremendous carrying capacity as a pasture. 
All our Sweet Clover seed is Gro-Coated Brand. <A customer in 
Nebraska reported plants from this seed grew so fast it got ahead 
of the Sweet Clover weevil, whereas other seedings in his area 
were lost. We make no such claim, but this man was 
positive Gro-Coated Brand seed made the difference.

aiCte Our Very Finest Quality 
aud JZ This biennial or two year yellow blooming sweet clover is liked by many 
for the reason that it is finer stemmed, and that it does not grow quite as 
tall. It also seems to tolerate more adverse conditions such as drought and 
closer grazing or cutting. It will make about as large a growth the first 
year as the white, 12 to 24 inches, depending upon soil and 
seasonal conditions. The second year it may not produce 
quite as much because it matures somewhat earlier. This 
is oftentimes the feature which is greatly desired. It is 
also quite a common practice to mix white and yellow, so 
as to lengthen the pasture season, and also to lengthen the 
bloom season in event you want to use it for bee pasture 
purposes. If you demand the very best in quality you will 
find it in our World Brand grade. The seed is thoroughly 
scarified, and the shipment is absolutely guaranteed to 
please you. Write for special quantity or delivered prices. 
Sweet Clover Is Cheap This Year. Sow Plenty of It 
We handle Sweet Clover in about the same grades as the 
other clovers namely Planet, Fancy and World Brand. 
These grades are described on page 33 and on _these pages. 
That which we list in our catalog as Sweet Clover is the 
White Blossom, unless otherwise specified. Because of 
eonditions in the principal seed producing sections, it may 
contain some Yellow. The Yellow Blossom lives two years 
and matures about ten days earlier than White. It is 
finer stemmed and somewhat leafier. Hubam, also known 
as the Seven Wonder Clover, an annual variety, makes its 
full growth in one year, see page 37. : : 
We also call your special attention to the combination 
seeding of Sweet Clover and Mammoth Red described be- 
low. It’s a great value. 
This is a lot of high grade Sweet Clover containing about 20% This Fancy Grade runs our World Brand quite a close second. We can sell

of around 5 inches, that should be sufficient. That will not reduce 
the production next year as much as if the white were cut or 
pastured that close. From a soil building standpoint we consider 
that it is very similar to the white. In fact, we think it starts 
off a little faster in the second year. Some customers say they think 
it is easier to get a stand of yellow and that it will do well under 
less favorable conditions. Sow White or Yellow, use around 12 
to 15 pounds to the acre. 1 Ib of any Sweet Clover Postpaid,

Sweet and Alfalfa 
We secured another lot similar to above only 
it contains Alfalfa instead of Mammoth. It’s all 
hardy northern seed. Canadian grown contains 
about 18% Alfalfa. Has a total crop purity of 
99%. It is a seeding with a great big extra 
measure of value. 2
