FARM SEEDS 
LADINO CLOVER 
Ladino is a giant type of white clover with leaves and blossoms larger but very much 
like the white clovers. The main stems trail on the ground and root at each joint or 
node. The leaves and blossoms are borne on upright stems that may reach a height 
of 15 to 20 inches or about as tall as alsike. It has gained prominence for special 
pastures and for mixtures that are to be used several years as both hay and pasture. 
Generally Ladino is added at the rate of 1 lb. per acre to any recommended general 
pasture or meadow mixture. Up to 2 lbs. per acre is recommended where the Ladino 
is the only clover sown with timothy, brome grass and orchard grass. 
We offer both Blue tag Certified and Uncertified strains.

WINTER or FALL BARLEY 
This variety has shown its value and gained popularity the past few years due to 
the good yields (50 to 60 bushel to the acre is not unusual) and the fine feeding value. 
It should be sown the latter part of September and is harvested the latter part of 
June. On account of its earliness, chinch bugs have not bothered this variety. It is 
replacing Oats in the crop rotation as it makes an ideal small grain crop: for starting 
Clover and Alfalfa. Write us next summer for prices for fall sowing.
