Clean—Adaptable—High Test Seeds For Better Crops 
Millets 
Current prwes on application 
True Southern or Tennessee Millet. Equal in 
quality to any of the other millets and far superior 
in yield to the Common or Golden, growing from 
three to five feet high, with abundant foliage, and 
terminating with large seed heads, formed by 
numerous panicles of small round, bright golden 
yellow seeds. 
Japanese or Barn Yard. (Billion Dollar Grass). 
Forage plant of great value, growing luxuriantly 
on most any soil and under indifferent conditions. 
It will grow in seasons of extreme drought and 
attain a height of six feet. When cut continues to 
grow until frost. 
Clover 
Current prices on application 
Alsike or Hybrid Clover. (Trifolium Hybridum). 
Even poorly drained lands will produce a good 
crop of Alsike; perennial and very hardy. It is very 
valuable both for pasturing and soiling; very pro- 
ductive, sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a dis- 
tinct light pink, and much liked by bees. 
Crimson Trefoil or Scarlet Italian Clover. (Tri- 
folium Incarnatum). An annual, valuable as a cover 
crop, soil improver or for fodder; attains a height 
of eighteen inches with pointed bright crimson 
blossoms. It is not reliably hardy north of Phila- 
delphia. 
White Dutch Clover. Used largely in lawns and 
pasture mixtures. The White Dutch is smaller and 
less vegetative than Ladino which is superior for 
pasture; while the Wild White Clover is smaller 
and more leafy, therefore preferred in lawn mix- 
tures. 
Wild White Clover. A low growing type, more 
leafy with less blossoms than common White Clover. 
Very hardy and preferred for lawns and in some 
localities for pasture. 
Ladino White Clover. Large or mammoth type 
that has spread rapidly in use for pasture and 
hay because of its outstanding performance and 
high nutritious value. Grows 12 to 18 inches high 
and thrives throughout the Northeast. Should be 
sown with other clovers or grasses at rate of one 
or two pounds per acre. 
Sweet Clover. (Melilotus Albi). Valuable bien- 
nial, thrives almost anywhere except on acid soils. 
One of the greatest plants known for soil improve- 
ment, feed value equal to alfalfa; used extensively 
by bee-keepers. Sow at rate of 18 to 20 lbs. per 
acre; April or August usually most satisfactory. 
Red Clover, Medium. (Trifolium Pratense). The 
common variety, used with other grasses for either 
pasture or meadow. Domestic northern grown seed 
99.25% pure or better. 
Alfalfa. (Medicago Sativa). Hardy Northern 
grown seed. U.S. Verified origin, sealed and tagged 
bags are for your protection. Alfalfa has a remark- 
able range of adaptability, growing on soil varying 
from sandy to heavy clay, provided there is good 
drainage, fair fertility and a supply of lime, as it will 
not grow on acid soils. The feeding value of Alfalfa 
is unexcelled. Sow 18 lbs. per acre alone or 4 to 8 lbs. 
in mixtures. Inoculation of seed is recommended. 
Grimm Alfalfa. This is the very hardy variety 
which has given such satisfaction in our northeast- 
ern states. We exercise great care to have the 
genuine, and usually have State-sealed grades. 
Write for market price. 
Buffalo Alfalfa. Developed at Kansas Agricul- 
tural Station. A selection superior in bacterial wilt 
resistance. Connecticut fields show good forage pro- 
ductivity and hardiness. Seed supply limited.
