Legume. Adapted to any soil. Makes crop of hay 
or seed same year sown. Reseeds itself each year, 
unexcelled for pasture, hay or soil building. 
Drought resistant. Height 15 to 24 inches. 10 
pounds per acre will produce a heavy crop of hay 
the second year, but 15 to 20 pounds will secure 
a full crop of seed for harvest the first year. Our 
stock is of the highest quality and will give satis- 
faction. See Farm Seed List for quantity prices.

spring and gives at least three cuttings a season 
with as high as three tons of hay per acre from a 
single cutting. Plant very shallow in 3'4-ft. rows 
on a well prepared bed, in late spring, 3 to 4lbs. 
per acre. 5 lIbs., $2.50; 10 Ibs., $4.50, postpaid. 
EARLY LESPEDEZA. New Iowa 6. Earlier and 
Heavier Yield. New early Lespedeza—averagee 
6 inches taller, much earlier, and heavier 
yielding than common strains, making it ideal 
for folks who want a taller and earlier type and 
who have not had success with ordinary Lespede- 
za. Grows anywhere—especially valued where 
other legumes will not grow. Will grow on the 
sourest soil and will build it up by adding nitro-

RED CLOVER. Native Missouri grown. 
Extra fancy, clean, high germination.

is adapted to Missouri soils and con- 
ditions is the cheapest in the long 
run. Beware of poor quality foreign 
seed offered at lower prices. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER. Is a large variety 
of Red Clover, superior for soil building. Our 
stocks are the very finest. 
LADINO White Clover 
U. S. Department of Agriculture says: “Ladino 
is the largest growing form of White Clover. It is 
similar to White Dutch, but grows twice as large.” 
It is a long-lived perennial, excellent for grazing, 
as well as producing a most nutritious and palatable 
hay crop. Its tap root goes down one to three 
feet. The stems run on the ground, taking root. 
It is not subject to Alfalfa diseases and is ideal to 
plant after Alfalfa. It does not bloat livestock as 
much as other Clovers, but is safer to plant with 
Timothy, Red Top, Tall Fescue, Kentucky Blue 
Grass, Orchard Grass and Rye Grass. 
See Farm Seed Price List for quantity prices. 
KENLAND Red Clover 
Blue Tag ‘‘Certified’’ 
A new, very productive variety, disease resist- 
ant, and highly recommended for those that are

land has definitely been proved superior in every 
way including a much longer ‘‘stand’’ life. We be- 
lieve that it will pay you to use this new strain.

Grows Where Other Clovers Fail 
Alsike does well on low, wet, heavy soil where 
Red Clover, Sweet Clover and Alfalfa can’t take 
it.

Red Clover in feeding value. Does fine planted 
along with Timothy, Tall Fescue, or any other good 
grasses. Alsike seed being small, requires only 
6 to 10 pounds per acre. Our Alsike is hardy, 
northern grown, the very finest quality, dark,
