SWEET CLOVERS 
The culture of Sweet Clover is practically the same as for 
Alfalfa. Sweet Clover, however, will make an immense growth 
and if cut before it is too ripe makes excellent hay. It is also 
valuable for pasture for hogs, sheep and cattle. Like Red 
Clover, this is a biennial and should be renewed every other 
year, The seed may be sown in the late fall and winter, or 
early spring as well as in the summer. Sow 12 to 20 pounds 
per acre. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER— White Blossom makes 
the rankest growth of any clover. It produces the biggest 
hay crop and is the best soil enricher and green fertilizer. It 
breaks up the soil, gathers nitrogen from the air and de- 
nosits it in the soil. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.00). 
HUBAM SWEET CLOVER—This is an annual White Sweet 
Clover that may be planted in April and will mature and 
make seed the first year. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.00). 
YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER —Is a biennial like the 
White Blossom Sweet Clover and differs from that variety 
only in that it is ten days earlier. Does not grow as tall, is 
more spreading in habit, makes finer hay or pasture. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.00). 
CLOVERS 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER—Grows well on low, wet 
land where Red Clover does not thrive. Alsike being a peren- 
nial, will last for a good many years, either for hay or in 
pasture. It makes fine hay of high feeding value. It is very 
valuable in pastures, especially on wet or heavy soil. Sow 6 
to 10 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $4.25) (10 Ibs. $8.00). 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL CLOVER (Broadleaf)—For pasture or 
hay, a perennial clover that will withstand moderate alkali, 
grown on many kinds of soil, withstands wide fluctuations 
of moisture and to take more general abuse than Ladino. 
Produces highly palatable nutritious forage with fine leafy 
stems that arise from a single crown. Flowers brilliant yel- 
ow. As far as can be determined it neither bloats nor 
scours. Do not expect too much growth the first season. 
Use 4 lbs. per acre. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $4.75) (10 Ibs. $9.00). 
LESPEDEZA (Korean Clover)—Lespedeza grows on poor soils 
and increases the fertility as well as improves the physical 
condition of the soil. It is an annual but will reseed itself 
each year so that only one sowing is necessary for a perma- 
nent pasture. For pasture about 8 pounds of seed is required 
per acre. On tilled land for hay or for a seed crop 10 to 12 
pounds per acre should be sown. Korean Lespedeza is pal- 
atable to all classes of livestock, particularly cattle. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.00). 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER—Fits better into crop rotation than 
any other legume. It will increase the yield of succeeding 
crops besides furnishing many tons of hay of high protein 
content. It is a biennial which means that it will grow for 
two seasons only and then must be reseeded. Requires 
medium rich well drained soil. Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $3.50) (10 Ibs. $6.00). :

MADRID SWEET CLOVER (Biennial)—Introduced by the 
U.S.D.A. from Spain, it is lower growing, leafier and 
finer stemmed than the common variety. It is also later 
maturing and has greater seeding vigor. Makes excellent 
green manure crop as well as in pastures and for hay. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $3.50) (10 Ibs. $6.50). 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER—Resembles Medium Red Clover 
but grows taller and the hay is coarser. It is hardy and valu- 
able for fertilizing poor soil. Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $3.50) (10 Ibs. $6.50). 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER (Trifolium Fragiferum)—Is primari- 
ly a pasture crop. It thrives on wet, seepy ground, which may 
be crusty with alkali and is apparently more resistant to 
alkali than any other clover. It is capable of spreading and 
establishing itself by its stout creeping runners. Three to five 
pounds will seed an acre. 
Postpaid (Ib. $2.25) (5 Ibs. $11.00) (10 Ibs. $21.50). 
LADINO CLOVER—Is regarded as a tall form of White Dutch 
Clover. It is a low growing, leafy plant with succulent and 
somewhat coarse stems. Sow in the.spring or fall, sow 7 to 8 
pounds per acre. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $4.75) (10 Ibs. $9.00). 
BUCK WHEAT 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make profitable crops 
on rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also 
largely used as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in June or July, 
using 50 pounds of seed to the acre. 
JAPANESE—This is the largest buckwheat. The plant makes 
a more vigorous and larger growth than the common kind 
and yields more. 
Postpaid (5 lbs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $4.50). 
FLAX 
WILT-RESISTANT—Flax is the best and most profitable 
crop for sod or new lands, growers frequently realizing more 
from flax on sod than from wheat on old ground. Sow early. 
as soon as possible after danger from frost has passed. To 
raise seed sow one-half bushed per acre; for fibre, one bushel. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
FIELD OR STOCK PEAS 
Field Peas are an important class of Legumes and should be 
more generally planted. Valuable for hay crop or fertilizer. 
Field Peas are usually growm with Oats, for hay, a combination 
equal in feeding value to clover hay. They contain more di- 
gestible crude protein and fat than Alfalfa and Corn. When 
grown with oats, they are threshed together, and easily sep- 
arated with a fanning after threshing. Drill the Peas in four 
inches deep, as early as the ground can be worked at the rate 
of 90 to 100 pounds per acre. Then, 2 or 3 weeks later, sow the 
oats, drilling it in the other way, 50 pounds per acre. If the 
oats are sown with the peas, they grow too rapidly and check 
or smother the growth of the peas. 
COLORADO STOCK PEAS (White)—Are extensively grown 
in the mountain districts, are very hardy and if mixed with 
oats or other grains, make very nutritious hay. If permitted 
to mature, make excellent feed for fattening sheep or hogs. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.00). 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
An excellent forage crop for sheep and hogs, belongs to the 
cabbage family. It produces a mass of broad, smooth leaves 
which are greatly relished by sheep and hogs. It can be pas- 
tured off and when stock is removed, if not eaten too close, it 
will grow up again and give a second crop. It does best on 
rather moist land, but will do well in any good soil. The seed 
is usually sown broadcast, using about 5 pounds per acre. Sow 
from the first to the middle of August. If sown broadcast on 
corn ground after the last cultivation it makes good pasture 
after the corn is removed. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.50) (10 Ibs. $4.50). 
SUNFLOWER 
Quite extensively grown for feeding. Sow in rows 3 to 3% 
feet apart and thin to a foot apart in the rows. Treat the same 
as corn. Use 10 to 12 pounds of seed per acre. Sunflower are 
often used to mix with corn when filling a silo. It is claimed 
that the mixture makes a better ensilage than pure corn. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN—The variety commonly used to pro- 
duce seed and for filling silos. The heads are often one foot 
across and are filled with striped seed which makes most 
excellent feed for poultry.
