CLOVERS 
RED CLOVER 
Has long been the leading Clover, especially where crops are 
rotated. It matures so early that it may be followed by a second 
crop such as additional hay, late pasture, or a cash crop from seed 
for which there is usually a ready demand. 
Virginia Grown. 99.25% pure. Lb. 47 cts.; bus. $27.75. 
Central States. 99.25% pure. Lb. 45 cts.; bus. $26.25. 
MAMMOTH or SAPLING CLOVER 
Widely used for seeding with timothy and then cut as hay. Matur- 
ing later than Red Clover, it ripens more uniformly with timothy. 
Produces a larger growth, resulting in greater tonnage on a given area. 
Current supply much larger than in recent years—and price lower. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Central States. 99.25% pure. Lb. 45 cts.; bus. $26.25. 
All of our Virginia grown Red and Mammoth Clovers are cleaned 
over a special machine to remove many kinds of weeds. Order our 
Virginia seed. 
KENLAND CLOVER 
Certified Blue Tag 
As pointed out here last year, this is one of the newer strains of 
old-time Red Clover. It is, in fact, the only one that has thus far 
become popular or attained a commercial volume. 
We are convinced that it is far superior to the unimproved strain of 
Red Clover, but thus far the substantially higher price of Kenland 
has retarded the demand. For this apparent reason the supply proved 
more nearly adequate than was originally expected. Further increase 
in the production during 1952 will, we believe, provide enough seed 
for the coming season—maybe at a price more nearly that of ordinary 
Red Clover. 
Certified, Blue Tag. Lb. 66 cts.; bus. $38.90. 
Certified, Yellow Tag. Lb. 63 cts.; bus. $36.90. 
Broadleat Birdsfoot Trefoil 
This comparatively new legume continues to receive vigorous 
applause from those who have used it. As noted here before, it is 
somewhat akin to Ladino, and some think that it is superior in 
several respects. For one thing, it is adapted to a wider variety 
of soil and climatic conditions. Another factor in its favor as 
pasture is that there is no known case of bloat on record. Lb. 
$1.00; 5 lbs. $4.75. 
SWEET CLOVER 
A very good crop to improve the soil, when it reaches a reasonable 
stand. It will grow in almost any kind of ground, but best results 
come when the land is amply limed and the seed inoculated. When 
sown in the spring, a nurse crop should be used, to help keep down 
weeds. Small grains such as oats or fall-sown grains are good for this 
purpose. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. of scarified or hulled seed per acre in late 
February, March and April. Usually either White or Yellow Blossom 
is available; Yellow is somewhat smaller and about ten days earlier 
than the White. 
Yellow Blossom. 99.25% pure. Lb. 18 cts.: bus. $10.00, 
White Blossom. 99.25% pure. Lb. 18 cts.; bus. $10.00. 
BOTH PREMIUM GRADE 
NEW ZEALAND WILD WHITE 
CLOVER 
Is gaining popularity in some quarters for pasture mixtures. Is 
believed by many to be superior to ordinary White Dutch Clover. 
Quantity per acre is determined by the assortment of grasses and 
quantity of each being used. Further details and prices will be 
furnished on request. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
For lawns and pastures. Produces a low, compact growth, covering 
the ground like a carpet, but is more satisfactory when used in mix- 
tures with other grasses. Sow in spring or fall, 8 to 12 lbs. per acre if 
planted alone. 98.50% pure. Lb. 72 cts.; 5 lbs. $3.50.

LADINO CLOVER 
LADINO CLOVER 
Much space would be required to fully narrate its numerous vir- 
tues. It never becomes very tall, but its one outstanding quality is 
its quick comeback after being pastured or mowed. It has won a 
permanent place in every pasture mixture. Regardless of what other 
grasses you think should be in a pasture mixture, always include some 
Ladino. Sow 1 to 2 lbs. per acre. 
A big crop of seed was produced in 1952, both here and in Italy, 
and price is much lower—lowest ever. 
Certified. 99.60% pure. Lb. $1.30; 5 lbs. $6.45. 
Field inspected. 99.50% pure. Lb. $1.10; 5 lbs. $5.40. 
Certified Imported. Lb. $1.10; 5 lbs. $5.40. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
A very hardy Clover that is g:owing more popular in recent years 
because it frequently takes hold where other Clovers fail, especially 
in low, wet soil or high gravel ground. It provides desirable hay, and 
is excellent for improving the soil. Sow 6 lbs. to the acre. 
98.50% pure. Lb. 44 cts.; bus. $25.90, 
95.00% pure. Lb. 41 cts.; bus. $24.20. 
(Alsike and White Dutch) 
GRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER 
One of the best crops for green manuring, and furnishes fine pasture 
in fall, winter, and spring. It improves poor land and through its 
nitrogen-gathering properties restores the fertility of those that have 
been worn down by excessive cropping. May be planted in fall, spring, 
or summer. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. 99.00% pure. Lb. 24 cts. ; 
bus. $13.45.
