RED CLOVER, ALSIKE 
AND TIMOTHY MIXTURE 
"Regular" Grade Contains 30% Cilovers 
This is a fine lot of hardy, home grown, recleaned seed. It is all 
Gro-Coated of course. In making up this mixture we use more Red 
Clover by weight than Alsike. The Alsike seeds are smaller, there- 
fore a smaller percentage gives about the same number of seeds per 
pound. By using both Red and Alsike Clover you have greater as- 
surance of getting stands. Often Alsike will catch where Red 
Clover will not and thus you have better assurance of a good clover 
stand over the entire field. Alsike will withstand wetter and more 
acid soil than Red, It is a splendid idea to sow some of each in a 
seeding. 
Increase Yields, Improves Quality 
Seeding at the rate of 10 pounds to the acre will give you 30 to 35 
clover seeds per square foot, and then there is plenty of Timothy, 
of course, besides. Timothy supports the Clover and together they 
produce a treméndous amount of feed. The Clover increases the pro- 
tein content of the feed. It feeds nitrogen into the soil from which 
the Timothy benefits. This seeding makes a very good sod. There 
is practically no danger of bloat in such a combination and it greatly 
reduces any danger from soil erosion, We have several other 
mixtures such as the Lot Leader in the opposite column, and others 
on pages 19, 20 and 24. There are combinations to fit practically 
every need. This gives you a seeding that is low in cost and very 
satisfactory in production. See Item No. 97 on the price list. 
VERY PRODUCTIVE 
Highly Palatable 
While a new grass in this country, it has long 
been used in Northern Europe. It produces a 
higher percentage of basil leaves, than most 
grasses, the flowering stems are erect and usually 
about 8 foot tall. Cattle and sheep will graze 
this grass in preference to other grasses. They any 
will eat both stems and the leaves which contain 
more sugar than most other grasses. It is nota 
real sweet grass like Sorghum, but very palatable. 
How and When to Sow 
In most of the Northern and Northeastern States, 
spring seedings are preferable to fall seedings. In 
milder climates, fall seedings are good. 6 or 7 lbs. 
per acre will make a sufficient seeding if you have 
a good seed bed. It can be sown with a drill, cov- 
ered lightly, at the most not over an inch, and roll- 
ing after seeding gives best results. Seed bed 
should be fine, but firm, and as clean as possible.

Berry's Seed Fine for 15 Years : 
Dear Sirs: Liberty, Ind. 
The seeds I have bought from you for the past 15

for Spring sowing. Many thanks for the services you 
have rendered me, :

Red Clover with 25% Timothy 
99% Crop Purity 
In this Lot Leader we believe we have a value that you will find 
matchless elsewhere. It is beautiful plump seed with lots of large 
purple berries. This type of clover commands premium prices. You 
can be assured of complete satisfaction in quality when you order 
Lot Leader. It is an old favorite with our trade, 
The use of Timothy with Red Clover is quite generally considered 
a wise practice. The two crops help each other as explained in the 
opposite column. In Lot Leader we have practically reversed the 
formula, You get approximately 75% Red Clover in this lot and it 
is all Red. ‘It contains no Alsike. Personally, we like this richer 
clover mixture. There is ample Timothy to support the clover and 
to help check soil erosion. The seeding is practically the equivalent 
of a straight Red Clover seeding from the standpoint of yield, feed- 
ing quality and soil building ability. 
If you will refer to Item 96 on our price list you will see that the 
price is very low for such a fine seeding. This is made possible be- 
cause we have our buyers trained to-watch for high quality com- 
bination lots that can be bought at discounts. Then we can bring 
these up to a uniform mixture. Thus our customers get very fine 
quality at a genuine savings. Not only does this seed have excellent 
purity and germination, it’s Gro-Coated. Shipment guaranteed to 
please you or your money back, See Item 96 on price list. 
DELICIOUS ano NUTRITIOUS 
A long season, perennial grass 
DON’T CONFUSE THIS WITH FOXTAIL MILLET OR FOXTAIL WEED 
This is one of the earliest cultivated grasses to start grow- 
ing in the spring. It can be grown anywhere in the northern 
half of the United States. It does well where summer tem- 
peratures may reach 100 and winter well below zero. It is a 
tremendously heavy producing grass as the accompanying 
photograph will show. A Minnesota field has stood for 25 
years. It works fine in mixtures with grasses and clovers, 
Great for Wet Lands 
Like Reed Canary Grass, it will stand long periods of over-flow. Good 
stands have been obtained on low wet lands that are quite alkali. It 
is much easier to start than Reed Canary grass, that is why many 
prefer it aS a grass for such conditions. 
Good for Uplands 
Although naturally a wet or moist land grass, it can give good returns 
on well drained soil of medium fertility, that are fairly well supplied 
with moisture for winter and early summer growth, It is good to use in 
waterways. The pasture season generally extends from shortly after the 
last heavy spring frost to early heavy freezes in the fall, 
Grows Well in the Shade 
Like most grasses, Meadow Foxtail makes good growth in shady 
places. In this respect it is similar to Orchard Grass, but will stand 
much more wet soil. There are many places where this grass will 
prove itself one of the best money makers you can possibly use.

Excellent Success with Berry Seeds 
Gentlemen: Bricelyn, Minn. 
I have had grand success with your Honest John AJ- 
falfa, Clover Grass Mixture and Ladino Clover. We had 
wonderful pasture and it really made good quality hay 
that is easy to cure, 
Yours truly, Merle Shirk.
