This is a beautiful lot of seed. This hardy Red Clover seed was purchased 
at a very sharp discount. Our buyers found some lots that contained some 
Alfalfa seed. The crop purity was high but because it contained Alfalfa it 
could not be sold either as Red or: Alfalfa and therefore the discount. In 
order to make these lots uniform we have added sufficient high quality Alfalfa 
to make approximately 25% alfalfa seed. There are many farmers who make 
a practice of sowing mixed seed. Therefore, to those such a seeding is an 
unusually attractive offer. This seed is all thoroughly recleaned, all high 
in purity and strong in germination. You can use this seeding just this way 
and it will make a splendid combination for you, we suggest 10-12 pounds per 
acre. Or you can take it as a base for any other combination that you may 
wish to make. We are constantly striving to give our customers the benefit 
of our wide experience and great purchasing power. In this Lot Beauty we 
have a matchless value. It’s beautiful seed, free of noxious weeds, 99% crop 
(Red Clover-Alfalfa) purity. See Item No. 31 on price list for quotations,

60% Alfalfa—40% Red Clover 
This special value became available just before this catalog went to press. 
It is all beautiful, hardy northwestern grown seed. The extreme low price 
that you will find on our price list was due to the fact that this also was 
a lot of seed that was grown mixed, similar to Lot Beauty described above.

Red Clover in it. The percentages are not exactly 60 and 40 but come very 
close to that figure. It will have a total crop purity of 99%. It will be free 
of noxious weed seed. It may contain a trace of other crop seed such as 
Sweet Clover possibly 3-5%. For color, size of berry, freedom of weeds, 
germination. hardy characteristics this quality is outstanding and our special

farmers prefer this type of mixed seeding which will make about half alfalfa 
and red clover when seeded 3/5 alfalfa and 2/5 red clover. Recommended 
seeding rate 10-12 pounds per acre. As long as this lot lasts you will find it

SIX DIFFERENT LEGUMES 
This is a great combination that we have prepared to meet the demand 
of many customers. Some have grass seed of their own and want a variety 
of Clovers to mix with it. Others prefer to make a seeding of straight clovers 
but like a variety. They tigure there are several advantages to this. First, 
if one fails to catch due to unfavorable soil or weather conditions there are 
plenty left to make a full stand. When used in pasture combinations the 
different clovers give a prolonged pasture season as some do best when it is 
hot, and others early. Even when cut for hay it is desirable to have a good 
aftermath for pasture or plowing under green. If you happen to strike a 
wet year there is Clover for that kind of a season. 
Contains Alfalfa, Red Clover, Sweet Clover, Alsike, Ladino and 
Birdsfoot Trefoil 
We can give you an exceptionally low price on this wonderful seeding 
because we can use in it some lots of seeds that are grown mixed. Those 
can be bought at sharp discounts under the prevailing market. We add 
other clovers to make a balanced seeding. Red Clover, Alfalfa and Alsike 
makes the largest percentage. Also contains enough Ladino to produce a 
nice stand of that valuable Clover in with the others. The addition of about 
10% Birdsfoot Trefoil also adds greatly to its value. See Page 27. 
7 to 8 pounds per acre will give you a good stand. That makes the cost 
of seeding exceedingly low. SEE ITEM NO. 58 ON PRICE LIST. (If you

OUR BIGGEST SELLING CLOVER VACUES/ 
iP, 
ALFALFA, RED CLOVER & TIMOTHY 
5a 3 Munlure 
a and Red Clover 
This splendid seeding is similar to our Famous 5 
Way Mixture described on page 21. This however, does 
not contain the Alsike and the Ladino and it contains 
more Clovers, 60% of clovers and Alfalfa combined, 
and approximately 40% of Timothy. If you want some- 
thing with Alsike and Ladino you can select the Lot 
Just-Rite described below, or if you want them all take 
the 5 Way. This Big Three however, with its extremely 
high Clover percentage is even a grater value. The 
addition of Timothy is a big help in many ways. It 
makes a better sod than just clovers alone. This is 
valuable where you have trouble with soil erosion. 
With the grass in it there also seems to be a little less 
danger of heaving in the spring which so often times 
kills out straight clover or Alfalfa seedings. Clovers 
feed nitrogin to the Timothy so that it increases in 
feeding value and the Timothy also helps to hold the 
Clovers and alfalfa more erect. There are two basic 
reasons why we are offering our trade so many pre- 
pared mixtures. One; it saves you the trouble of doing 
so, two; we can give you as a rule greater values be- 
cause we can buy mixed lots at lower cost than we can 
buy the straight seed separately and then mix it and 
make combinations that we report. All of the seed on 
this page, all of our grasses and clovers are Gro-Coated 
which we consider a tremendous advantage. Suggest 
sowing about 10 pounds to the acre although you can 
sow less. Item No. 102.

With Alsike, Ladino and Timothy 
Now Contains 50% Clovers 
Here is one of our favorite combinations made richer 
and better than normal. Mixed seedings are becoming 
increasingly popular. Timothy is considered one of the 
best grasses to use with Clovers. It helps these legumes 
to grow erect and it is better than straight Clover for 
soil erosion control. The Timothy roots hold the soil 
better. The Clovers feed nitrogen to the Timothy, thus 
increasing its growth and improving its feeding value. 
In many areas payments are being made for making 
such seedings. But whether you get ‘‘outside” money or 
not, it is good business to hold the soil you have by 
using grass seed. Use the Clovers to build up soil fer- 
tility and to produce high protein feed. 
A Highly Satisfactory Seeding 
You can get an excellent stand by sowing at the rate 
of 7 lbs. per acre. In fact at 6 lbs. per acre you will 
have an average of over 24 clover seeds per square foot, 
plus the grass seed. It is economical and you have prac- 
tically double assurance of getting a good stand. There 
is .plenty of both Red Clover and Alsike, so if either 
should fail completely there still would be a good stand 
of the other. Alsike will stand more wet conditions and 
more acid soils than the Medium Red Clover. The Ladino 
Clover adds a great deal to the value of this seeding. 
See Page 27 for information on this wonderful crop. 
The seed is all hardy recleaned stock. The seeding has 
the ability to produce excellent stands of heavy yielding 
hay or pasture crops. The feed is of excellent quality. 
You can build up your land and check erosion with it. 
You can save very materially on your seed bill. This 
Lot Just Rite Mixture has been pleasing our customers 
for years. SEE ITEM NO. 103 on PRICE LIST for “GRO- 
COATED” price.

Gentlemen: Arkdale 
I compared Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed with other seed which 
was not Gro-Coated. The stand from your Gro-Coated seed is 
almost twice as great.
