SHENANDOAH VALLEY’S 
ae MODERN SEED HOUSE 
CLOVERS 
RED GLOVER 
Has long been the leading Clover, 
especially where crops are rotated. 
It matures so early that it may be 
followed by a second crop such as 
additional hay, late pasture, or a 
cash crop from seed for which there 
is usually a ready demand. 
Looks as if a big supply of 
Clover was produced in 1950. 
Result: much lower prices, al- 
though market could rise. 
Virginia Grown. 99.25% pure. 
Lb. 48 cts.; bus. $27.50. 
Central States. 99.25% pure. 
Lb. 46 cts.; bus. $26.25. 
<« Wetsel’s Clovers available in 
1-bushel bags at no extra cost. 
MAMMOTH or SAPLING CLOVER 
Widely used for seeding with timothy and then cut as hay. Matur- 
ing later than Red Clover, it ripens more uniformly with timothy. 
Produces a larger growth, resulting in greater tonnage on a given area. 
Current supply much larger than in recent years—and price lower. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Central States. 99.25% pure. Lb. 44 cts.; bus. $25.00. 
Broadleaf Birdsfoot Trefoil 
This is a new legume in this area but has been planted at 
scattered points for two years now. Almost everybody who has 
tested it is loud with praise. Some think that it is the coming 
pasture legume that may possibly be even better than Ladino. 
We do not at the moment possess a technical description of it. 
We just wanted you to know that we have the seed on hand. 
Due to increased production, price is much lower than last year. 
Lb. $1.20; 10 lbs. $11.50. Ask for price on larger lots. 
LADINO CLOVER 
Last year we presented Ladino as the ‘‘Miracle Clover.’’ That was 
no exaggeration. In the meantime we have received reports of results 
and personally observed numerous crops and general performance 
that are truly astounding. 
Much space would be required to fully narrate its numerous vir- 
tues. It never becomes very tall, but its one outstanding quality is 
its quick comeback after being pastured or mowed. It has won a 
permanent place in every pasture mixture. Regardless of what other 
grasses you think should be in a pasture mixture, always include some 
Ladino. Sow 1 to 2 lbs. per acre. 
” 
A big crop of seed was produced in 1950, both here and in Italy, 
and price is much lower—lowest ever. 
Certified. 99.60% pure. Lb. $1.75; 5 lbs. $8.60. 
Field inspected. 99.50% pure. Lb. $1.60; 5 lbs. $7.85. 
Certified Imported. Lb. $1.55; 5 lbs. $7.60 
GRIMSON or SCARLET GLOVER 
One of the best crops for green manuring, and furnishes fine pasture 
in fall, winter, and spring. It improves poor land and through its 
nitrogen-gathering properties restores the fertility of those that have 
been worn down by excessive cropping. May be planted in fall, spring, 
or summer. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. 99.00% pure. Lb. 26 cts.; 
bus. $15.00. 
SWEET CLOVER 
A very good crop to improve the soil, when it reaches a reasonable 
stand. It will grow in almost any kind of ground, but best results 
come when the land is amply limed and the seed inoculated. When 
sown in the spring, a nurse crop should be used, to help keep down 
weeds. Small grains such as oats or fall-sown grains are good for this 
purpose. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. of scarified or hulled seed per acre in late 
February, March and April. Usually either White or Yellow Blossom 
is available; Yellow is somewhat smaller and about ten days earlier 
than the White. 
Yellow Blossom. 99.25% pure. Lb. 23 cts.; bus. $12.50. 
White Blossom. 99.25% pure. Lb. 24 cts.; bus. $13.00. 
BOTH PREMIUM GRADE 
UNHULLED SWEET CLOVER 
Unhulled seed can be planted earlier—in January or February. 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. This earlier sowing usually results in a 
quicker start in the spring and often a more dense growth. 
White or Yellow Unhulled Seed. Lb. 23 cts.; bus. $13.00. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
For lawns and pastures. Produces a low, compact growth, covering 
the ground like a carpet, but is more satisfactory when used in mix- 
tures with other grasses. Sow in spring or fall, 8 to 12 lbs. per acre if 
planted alone, 98.50% pure. Lb. $1.05; 5 lbs. $5.10. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
A very hardy Clover that is growing more popular in recent years 
because it frequently takes hold where other Clovers fail, especially 
in low, wet soil or high gravel ground. It provides desirable hay, and 
is excellent for improving the soil. Sow 8 lbs. to the acre. 
98.50% pure. Lb. 50 cts.; bus. $28.75. 
95.00% pure. Lb. 47 cts.; bus. $27.50.
