Clover 
Current prices on application 
Alsike or Hybrid Clover. (Trifolium Hybridum). 
Even poorly drained lands will produce a good crop 
of Alsike; perennial and very hardy. It is very valu- 
able both for pasturing and soiling; very productive, 
sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a distinct light 
pink, and much liked by bees. 
Crimson Trefoil or Scarlet Italian Clover. (Tri- 
folium Incarnatum). An annual, valuable as a cover 
crop, soil improver or for fodder; attains a height of 
eighteen inches with pointed bright crimson blossoms. 
It is not reliably hardy north of Philadelphia. 
White Dutch Clover. Used largely in lawns and 
pasture mixtures. The White Dutch is smaller and 
less vegetive than Ladino which is superior for 
pasture; while the Wild White Clover is smaller and 
more leafy, therefore preferred in lawn mixtures. 
White Dutch, lb., $1.30; 5 lIbs., $5.25. 
Wild White Clover. A low growing type, more 
leafy with less blossoms than common White Clover. 
Very hardy and preferred for lawns and in some 
localities for pasture. Lb., $1.50; 5 Ibs., $7.00. 
Ladino White Clover. Large or mammoth type 
that has spread rapidly in use for pasture and hay 
because of its outstanding performance and high 
nutritious value. Grows 12 to 18 inches high and thrives 
throughout the Northeast. Should be sown with other 
clovers or grasses at rate of one or two pounds per 
acre. Lub. $1.75)" 5, Ibs: $8.50: 
Sweet Clover. (Melilotus Albi). Valuable bien- 
nial, thrives almost anywhere except on acid soils. 
One of the greatest plants known for soil improve- 
ment, feed value equal to alfalfa; used extensively 
by bee-keepers. Sow at rate of 18 to 20 Ibs. per acre; 
April or August usually most satisfactory. 
Test Seeds For Better Crops 
Red Clover, Medium. (Trifolium Pratense). The 
common variety, used with other grasses for either 
pasture or meadow. Domestic northern grown seed 
99.25% pure or better. 
Alfalfa. (Medicago Satvia). Hardy Northern 
grown seed. U.S. Verified origin, sealed and tagged 
bags are for your protection. Alfalfa has a remark- 
able range of adaptability, growing on soil varying 
from sandy to heavy clay, provided there is good 
drainage, fair fertility and a supply of lime, as it will 
not grow on acid soils. The feeding value of Alfalfa 
is unexcelled. Sow 18 Ibs. per acre alone or 4 to 8 lbs. 
in mixtures. Inoculation of seed is recommended. 
Grimm Alfalfa. This is the very hardy variety 
which has given such satisfaction in our northeastern 
states. We exercise great care to have the genuine, 
and usually have State-sealed grades. Write for 
market price. 
Buffalo Alfalfa. Developed at Kansas Agricul- 
tural Station. A selection superior in bacterial wilt 
resistance. Connecticut fields show good forage pro- 
ductivity and hardiness.
