DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Nothing beats rape for hog pasture. The crop is short 
this year, and we have genuine Dwarf Essex Seed for 
early orders only. 
Rape is rich in protein—just what young pigs need. It 
is far cheaper to grow this protein in the form of rape 
pasture than to buy it in the form of tankage or other 
feeds.

MIDLAND RED CLOVER 
Certified Higher Yielding Disease-Resistant 
Midland is a new variety of Medium Red Clover that 
we introduced to the Midwest. Much finer stemmed than 
regular Red Clover, yet stands up better in field. Disease- 
resistant, highly productive in hay and seed. Seed yields 
of 3 bushels per acre are reported this year. The parent 
stock of seed was developed through the cooperation of 
the U.S.D.A. and Agricultural Colleges of the Middle 
West. Very limited supply. 
Big, plump, purple berry seed. In sealed bushel bags. 
State Certified. 29.95 per bu. 
Hulled and Scarified 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
Hulled and scarified Korean has really made friends 
with farmers. It germinates and grows thicker than seed 
with the hull on. It takes less seed per acre. Only 8 to 
10 Ibs. per acre is plenty. Hulled seed can be cleaned 
free of noxious weeds. 
We always sell lots of this hulled Korean. 99% pure 
seed, new crop. Add to your pasture along with other 
legumes. Korean does best in midsummer and early fall 
when you really need it. 12.50 per 50 Ibs.; 24.95 per 
100 Ibs.

SPECIAL BLEND ALFALFA 
Here’s a real Alfalfa for folks who want choice seed 
of average color, but still want it cheap in price. We can 
sell for less because it was bought right. Purity 97% or 
better. This mixture is a blend of hardiest spreading 
root type Alfalfa and the tall-growing, heavy-producing 
types. Fits all soil types and gives a stand most any- 
where. This blend is always one of our most popular 
Alfalfas. Sow same as any Alfalfa—12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
21.00 per bushel. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Orchard grass is a tall growing, perennial bunch grass, 
fine for shade. Starts growing early in the spring. Starts 
earlier and gives results a month ahead of Timothy. You 
will find it well adapted to your needs as hay and pasture, 
grass silage and turf as well. Orchard grass does fine 
along with legumes like Ladino, Red Clover, Alsike and 
Alfalfa or Lespedeza. This fine grass had increased in 
popularity very rapidly the last few years. Plant it alone 
at rate of 15-20 lbs. per acre or along with other grasses 
and clovers. 33.00 per 100 Ibs. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
(Lotus Corniculatus) 
A long-lived perennial legume with a much-branching 
tap-root and crown somewhat like alfalfa. The plants 
have many fine stems. Very palatable as hay. Birdsfoot 
trefoil will improve both yield and quality of hay and 
pasture on dairy and livestock farms. Plant ie es tab - 
qual in 
protein to alfalfa—no danger of bloat. 1.25 per Ib., postpaid. 
ELLIS SORGO 
A brand new introduction, Ellis is a cross between Atlas 
Sorgo and Leoti. Ellis is earlier than Atlas, much sweeter 
stalk, doesn’t grow as tall, easier to handle and has much 
softer rind. Excellent for silage or cured bundle feed. 
Ellis has bright, green leaves, resistant to rust and other 
diseases. This new sorgo has an open head, cures rapidly, 
white seeded and grows to a height of 5 to 6 feet requiring 
about 100 to 110 days to mature. Be sure to plant some 
Ellis for lots of fine feed. Figure on 5 lbs. per acre. All

Best Grimm Alfalfa 991/4°% Pure 
This is northern-grown 
Grimm Alfalfa of highest Only 
grade. We are proud of the 
quality of this particular 
seed. Not every lot of seed per 
we buy every year can match 
this for quality. You won’t 
find frost bitten seed, dark and discolored ber- 
ries in this lot. Grimm can take a lot of pun- 
ishment in the winter months, when many 
other Alfalfas fail to live through till spring. 
This seed was harvested from fields that have 
lived over year after year and no Alfalfa is 
hardier. Plant the acreage you are seeding 
this Spring with Grimm. 
RED CLOVER-ALFALFA MIX 
Something new in the way of mixtures, tried 
and proven by farmers under field conditions. 
Made up of equal parts Home-Grown Red Clover 
and California Alfalfa mixed together. Here is 
how this mixture works: The faster growing 
Southern Alfalfa makes more growth the first 
year than Red Clover. You can get a big cutting 
of hay first year after harvesting the small grain 
crop. You can plow under first fall for more 
green manure than straight Red Clover seeding. 
When left over the second year you get better 
quality hay of mixed Alfalfa and Red Clover. Even 
if the Southern Alfalfa mostly winter kills, you 
still have a good stand of second year Red Clover 
for hay crop. Try it and you will be pleasantly 
surprised. Plant 10 lbs. per acre. 23.95 per bushel. 
BEST ANNUAL HUBAM CLOVER 
Clover that produces all its growth gs ber 
the first year. Always a favorite be- 
cause it fits in so nicely with your rotation pro- 
gram to build-up your soils as a green manure 
crop. Fine for hay and pasture, too. We sell car- 
loads of Hubam every year to our many cus- 
tomers, and it always gives a good account of 
itself. Hubam is high in protein content. Seed 
early in the Spring along with small grain or on 
Fall-seeded grains. Figure on 12 to 15 pounds per 
acre. One of the cheapest legumes on the list to 
plant.

early; stands up well, good yields of grain, 
ripens fast because of spreading-type heads. 
This combine grain sorghum has medium-slen- 
der stalks, grows to a height of 3 to 3% feet, 
ideal for combining. Heads dry out fast and

The seeds of Norghum germinate rapidly 
and at low temperatures. Does fine where an 
early maturing grain sorghum is wanted. Plant
