run clover seed or seed supplied you from a neighbor that has not been 
tested and cleaned. This is the way foul weeds are introduced to your 
land, Seed containing only 75% pure clean seed is an extravagant buy 
even if the price is one-half that of good clean seed showing a purity 
of 99% or better. All the seed that we have to offer is Hardy Northern 
grown, mostly Wisconsin. It is fine bright seed, plump and high testing.

(WISCONSIN GROWN.) 
Red Clover is the most largely grown and 
generally useful legume crop in America, 
feeding value, the hay ranks next to alfalfa and 
In 
as a soil builder it is the equal of any and 
superior to most. It should be grown on 
every farm where soil and climatic condi- 
tions permit as it is well adapted to grow- 
ing in rotation. Red Clover is grown chief- 
ly for hay and occasionally for pasture to 
plow under to improve the soil. It is a 
biennial and will last for two seasons un- 
der good conditions. Requires a medium 
fertile to rich sweet soil with good drain- 
age.

BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
BROAD LEAF 
Birdsfoot Trefoil is a long lived peren- 
nial with a well developed branching tap- 
like root with a few to many stems 
developing from each crown. The plants 
for the most part are erect or ascending, 
and attain the height of 12 to 30 inches. 
Stems are comparatively slender, branched 
to some extent and are moderately leafy. 
Each leaf has three leaflets borne at the 
end of a short petiole and has a clover- 
like appearance. In eastern New York 
and western Oregon it has become natural- 
ized and is proving valuable for forage 
and pasture. It is also grown as a mix- 
ture with other grasses. Plant alone for 
seed at the rate of 8 to 12 pounds per 
acre, and in grass mixtures at the rate 
of one pound. Prices: 1 Ib., $1.30; 5 lbs., 
$6.25, postpaid. By freight or express 
f. o. b. Madison: 10 Ibs., $10.85; 100 lbs., 
$105.50,

MIDLAND RED CLOVER 
Midland is a composite of equal propor- 
tions of four old strains, Rahn and Letcher, 
Poland, Otten, and Emerson. In recent years 
Kireh and Van Fossen strains have been sub- 
stituted for Poland as they were more Satis- 
factory. Its superiority to other strains of 
red clover is its good growth characteristics, 
more winter hardy, and shows some resistance 
to Northern Anthracnose. Prices: Certified

paid. By freight or express f. 0. b. Madison:
