SWEET CLOVER 
Will add 
80 to 100 
pounds of 
NITROGEN 
per acre 
and improve 
your soil 
structure! 
RESTORES POOR LAND — MAKES GOOD LAND 
BETTER IN NATURE’S OWN WAY. 
Adds from 80 to 100 Ibs. of nitrogen per acre, plus humus to your soil and improves soib structure. 
Time after time sweet clover has proved its ability to give a 15 to 25 bushel an acre yield increase in 
return for a planting cost of less than two dollars an acre. As an intercrop—sown in small grain this 
spring, plowed down next fall or spring for corn—it does not take the field out of cultivation. It’s a 
bonus, pure and simple, and easy to collect. 10 pounds of seed can produce 20 tons, green weight, 
including roots, of some of the best green manure you ever turned under. Sweet Clover makes slow 
growth in spring, but by the first fall its toproot is big and deep, making nearly all its nitrogen the 
first season. Best time to plow down is the next spring to get the most nitrogen. For your biggest 
dollars worth of fertilizer, pasture, ensilage and soil improvement, seed sweet clover this spring. Many 
sow with oats using about 1 bu. oats per acre, and can be sown in wheat in the spring. An excellent 
honey crop. Plant 10 to 12 Ibs. per acre. 
YELLOW Sweet Clover 
Lot BOW (Bi-ennial) 
9912% Pure — 85% Germination 
This is extra fine quality seed, 99% or better pure, plump and of bright color. A biennial or 
two year yellow bloom clover, it is earlier and does not get as large as the white. It seems to 
stand drought and adverse conditions better and is better liked by many for these reasons. Yel- 
low makes excellent pasture and is easier to handle because of its smaller growth, but does not 
give as much green manure when plowed down. Tests, however, have shown very little differ- 
ence between white and yellow in amount of nitrogen added to the soil. This seed is hulled and 
scarified for quick germination. 
For 22 Years! 
Baileys Harbor, Wise. 
We have been using your seeds since 1932, and have never had a failure. Yields are always good and 
they stand the winters better than most do. We had the most severe winter in 1949-50, and the 
crops from your seeds came thru in fine shape. We have a very fine stand of clover and brome seeded 
in 1949. Jacob Merkle, Sr.
