8 FORAGE CROPS 
gardens indicate likewise. Because of the long bloom- 
ing period the seed does not all ripen at one time and 
is hard to harvest in quantity. This fairly recent devel- 
opment in a white blossom variety we think outstand- 
ing for bee-pasture. 
Seed, per packet, 15c; pound, $1.00; three pounds, 
$2.50, postpaid. 
MADRID SWEET CLOVER 
Madrid is a new outstanding variety of biennial yel- 
low sweet clover. It is outstanding for early seedling 
vigor and high yields of forage. It appears to be well 
suited to the great plains and corn belt sections. It is 
a heavy seed producer, maturing slightly later than 
the common yellow. 
Seed, packet, 15c; pound, 85c; three pounds, $2.25; 
postpaid. 
HUBAN CLOVER is the white annual sweet clover. 
Unlike the biennial sweet clovers, this one completes 
its life cycle all in one season. It is of use in farm 
rotation where a quick soil builder is desired. It is one 
of the best plants for honey and can be depended upon 
for bloom the first season when planted early. Under 
favorable conditions it blooms over a long season and 
often means an additional honey flow after other clover 
blooms are past. 
Seed packet, 15c; two pounds, $1.00; five pounds, 
$2.25; postpaid. 
COMMON SWEET CLOVER 
There are two common varieties of biennial sweet 
clover, the white blossom and the yellow blossom. This 
offer is of seed of the white and yellow blossom mixed. 
Packet, 15c; two pounds, $1.00; five pounds, $2.25; 
postpaid. 
HAIRY VETCH 
(Vicia villosa) 
The Hairy Vetch, also known as Winter Vetch, is 
much used for green manure and cover crop, and for 
hay and pasture in some sections. It acts as a biennial 
when planted in the fall. An excellent source of fine 
quality honey in some localities. Long blooming period. 
Seed, packet, 15c; two pounds, $1.00; postpaid. 
Trees and Shrubs 
(Incisa negundo) 
This long lived shrub or small tree furnishes abun- 
dant bloom which the bees work freely and constantly 
over a long blooming period beginning mid-summer and 
lasting until nearly frost. It is reported likewise in 
southern Missouri where it reaches a height of 12 to 15 
feet; coming into bloom about the time clover begins 
to fade and humming with bees constantly for nearly 
three months. It is attractive in both foliage and
