OLDS’ CLOVER SEED 
OLDS’ HARDY NORTHERN GROWN 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
(Sow 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre.) 
(WISCONSIN GROWN.) 
Red Clover is the most largely grown and 
generally useful legume crop in America. In 
feeding value, the hay ranks next to alfalfa 
and as a soil builder it is the equal of any 
and superior to most. It should be grown on 
every farm where soil and climatic conditions 
permit as it is well adapted to growing in 
rotation. Red Clover is grown chiefly for hay 
and occasionally for pasture to plow under to 
improve the soil. It is a biennial and will last for 
two seasons under good conditions. Requires a 
medium fertile to rich sweet soil with good 
drainage.

MIDLAND RED CLOVER 
Midland is a composite of equal proportions 
of four old strains, Rahn and Letcher, Poland, 
Otten, and Emerson. In recent years Kireh and 
Van Jlossen strains have been substituted for 
Poland as they were more satisfactory. Its su- 
periority to other strains of red clover is its 
good growth characteristics, more winter hardy, 
and shows some resistance to Northern Anthrac- 
nose. Prices: Certified Idaho, by mail, Lb., 75c;

SOW TESTED CLEAN SEED 
If you want the maximum returns from your 
land, do not plant country run clover seed or 
Seed supplied you from a neighbor that has not 
been tested and cleaned. This is the way foul 
weeds are introduced to your land, Seed con- 
taining only 75% pure clean seed is an extrava- 
gant buy even if the price is one-half that of 
good clean seed showing a purity of 99% or 
better. All the seed that we have to offer is 
Hardy Northern grown, mostly Wisconsin. It 
is fine bright seed, plump and high testing. 
Plant seed that you can depend upon. Insist on 
having Olds’ Old Gold Brand ‘‘Known for 
Reliabilitv’’ Clover Seed. 
Our Old Gold Brand represents the best and 
tests around 99.5% pure. Our Lakes Brand is 
fine clean seed, free of noxious weeds, but does 
not show as high a purity test. It usually runs 
98% and higher. A pk. of clover weighs 15

KENLAND RED CLOVER 
This clover produces superior yields where 
Southern anthracnose is destructive. It was 
developed by co-operative research of the Ken- 
tucky Agricultural Experiment Station and the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. Popular in 
the Southern part of the Red Clover Belt, where 
it has proven to be much longer lived than other 
strains. Has produced outstanding crops as far 
North as Southern Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. 
It is not resistant to Northern anthracnose.

LADINO CLOVER 
A perennial giant form of White Dutch Clover 
which spreads by surface runners that root at 
the joints. The main branch of the runners lies 
flat on the ground, but the leafy stalks grow 
from 15 to 24 inches tall. Should not be grown 
alone except for seed purposes. Fxcellent on 
lowlands in mixtures with other clovers or 
grasses in pastures. Sow seed at the rate of 
3 to 4 lbs. per acre, depending upon type of 
soil. It does well on moist land and for lowland 
pastures we recommend a mixture of 2 Ibs.

SWEET CLOVERS 
In the corn belt and great plain states, 
Sweet Clover occupies a very prominent place 
among the Legumes for forage and soil improve- 
ment, and is also used for a temporary pas- 
ture and for hay. It is resistant to cold and 
drought, will thrive on soil which is too high 
in alkali for alfalfa. Grows almost anywhere 
where the rainfall is adequate and the soil is 
not sour. Sweet Clover is best sown in the 
Spring with 1 bushel of early Oats or Barley 
per acre as a nurse crop. It may be sown in 
June or July without a nurse crop or in corn 
at the last cultivation. 15 lbs. of seed an 
acre is usually sufficient. 
TALL WHITE BLOSSOM 
Probably the best to use as a hay crop in 
the year sown or for pasture use. Matures a 
trifle later than the Yellow and produces a 
heavier yield the first year. Also used for soil 
improvement. Prices: Old Gold Brand, by mail, 
Lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid; pk. (15 lbs.), 
$2.90, plus postage. By freight or express f. 
0. b. Madison: Bu., $10.45; 3 bu. at $10.35 per 
bu. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM 
Superior to White for Summer sowing and 
for establishing itself in dry seasons or in dry 
climates. It does not make as much top growth 
as the White the first year but makes more 
root growth. The second year it will bloom 
about two weeks earlier than the White and 
will mature seed much more uniformly and usu- 
ally a larger seed crop. Prices: Old Gold Brand, 
by mail, Lb., 45c; 5 Ibs., $2.00, postpaid; pk.

$10.00 per bu. 
GRUNDY COUNTY WHITE BLOSSOM 
An early maturing shorter strain of White 
Sweet Clover. Not the equal of Yellow or Tall 
White for soil improvement. It matures earlier 
and produces a heavy seed crop and is better 
for seed production. Prices: Old Gold Brand, 
by mail, Lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid; pk.

ment Legume, and in the North as a honey crop 
as it continues to blossom most of the Summer,
