Good pasturage increases milk production and produces more beef 
For increased yields inoculate Clover and Alfalfa with Legume-Aid. See page 67. 
For over 70 years it has been our policy to supply the very best of everything we sell, and farm seeds are no exception. Not only 
is every lot of seed offered selected for purity, freedom from weed seed, and high germination but the origin is also considered. This 
is very important with many kinds of seed, particularly the Clovers and Alfalfa. When estimating your seed requirements, consider 
your crops and decide that you want the very best—and with this in mind you will order Scott’s Seeds. Remember we promise to 
furnish plump, clean, healthy seeds that you can depend upon for hardiness, vitality, and stamina—seeds that have made money for 
successful farmers for more than 70 years. 
CLOVERS 
MEDIUM RED. Most popular Clover for short rotations. When 
grown with timothy it usually makes two good hay crops. 
Plants grow 2 feet or more in height. Sow seed in late winter 
on winter grains or on a firm seed-bed with spring grain. Sow 8 
to 10 pounds with timothy, or 15 to 18 pounds alone. 
MAMMOTH RED. Also called Sapling Clover. This Clover cuts 
a heavier first crop of hay, does better on poorer, drier soils, 
and is more persistent than Medium Red. Valuable for the 
grower who needs maximum organic matter to plow down. 
ALSIKE. A favorite with timothy on acid soils, thin soils, and 
for wet sites. It may be sown in spring or late summer and is 
perfectly hardy. Flowers are sweet-scented and attractive to 
bees. Adapted only to short rotations. Sow 8 to 10 pounds to 
the acre alone, or 3 to 6 pounds in mixtures. 
SWEET CLOVER. Valuable for pasture or hay and a very 
important legume for soil improvement. It does best on sweet 
(neutral) soils and will grow luxuriantly on land too poor for 
Red Clover or alfalfa. The biennial form is best suited for the 
north. The white blossom variety will give the largest yield 
and the yellow blossom variety will tolerate more adverse 
conditions than the white. Seed should be inoculated. Sow 
10 to 20 pounds to the acre, the heavier rate if seeded alone. 
CRIMSON. Popular in southern part of region for green- 
manure crop and soil improvement. Often sown in corn at last 
cultivation for winter cover-crop. Seed 20 pounds to the acre. 
Plants are annual, requiring reseeding each year. 
LADINO. A giant form of White Clover with heavy stems which 
hug the ground and take root at the nodes (joints). Very popu- 
lar, nutritious, and high-yielding when properly used as pas- 
ture for poultry, dairy cattle, beef, sheep, and hogs. Requires 
fertile soil and good management. Generally sown with other 
pasture grasses at the rate of 2 pounds per acre. 
WHITE DUTCH. A small, low-growing White Clover used 
principally in lawn and pasture mixtures. Less productive than 
Ladino for hay and pasture. Succeeds in nearly all types of 
soil. Use 3 to 5 pounds to the acre in mixtures. 
The Cyclone Seed Sower has been the standard seed sower 
for many years for sowing clover, timothy, grass seeds and 
grains broadcast. It saves seed, is easy to operate and broad- 
casts evenly. See page 71. 
ALFALFA 
Alfalfa is of importance as a forage crop because of its high 
nutritive value, its palatability, productiveness, drought resis- 
tance, and long liveability. There is no other forage crop that will 
produce such an abundance of high-class protein feed. For all 
classes of livestock it is considered the best hay obtainable. It 
requires a well-drained neutral or alkaline soil and high fertility. 
Alfalfa is used alone and in mixtures with other grasses. It is 
usually seeded in the spring with fall- or spring-sown grains, but 
in some sections late summer seedings are popular. It will pro- 
vide two or three cuttings of hay in a season, and also makes 
excellent pasture for all kinds of livestock. Seed should be inocu- 
lated. From 12 to 15 pounds of seed are usually sown to the acre 
when grown alone; half this quantity in mixtures. 
Northwestern Common. Grown successfully and entirely 
satisfactorily in this area. 
Grimm. Generally considered longer-lived and better adapted 
to severe winter weather. 
Ranger. A particular strain of Alfalfa that is highly resistant 
to the bacterial wilt disease. Where bacterial wilt is a serious 
factor or where the farmer expects to leave the Alfalfa stand 
for more than two years, it is much superior to other strains. 
Ranger is rapidly gaining in popularity in this section of the 
country and farmers who have grown it are well pleased with 
results. It has a variegated flower color and is, therefore, classi- 
fied in the variegated group. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
A long-lived drought-resistant perennial that can be used for 
pasture, hay and silage. Stays green and produces excellent feed 
during hot summer months. Does well under a variety of soil 
conditions. Sow on well prepared soil at the rate of 4 or 5 pounds 
per acre alone or in combination with a like amount of timothy 
or Kentucky blue grass. Seed should be inoculated. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE 
A well-balanced pasture-producing mixture made up of the 
very highest grades of recleaned grass and clover seeds, which 
will produce an abundant and nutritious food-supply for all 
kinds of stock. Sow 20 pounds to the acre. 5 lbs. $3.25, 10 lbs. 
$6, 25 lbs. $13.50, 50 Ibs. $26, 100 lbs. $50.
