Sweet Clover 
White Flowering 
(Melilotus Alba Bi) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Sweet Clover requires a firm, well-settled 
seed bed, with only a bit of loose soil on the 
surface to permit the seed to be covered 
lightly. 
For spring sowing, soil that has been 
ploughed in the fall is usually in the proper 
shape. Land should be ploughed several 
months or more in advance of sowing. of 
Sweet Clover. Should the seed be sown on 
soil that appears to be a bit loose, it will be 
wise to roll the field after sowing. 
Sow in the fall and spring at the rate of 
15 pounds per acre. 
Sweet Clover is useful for soil improvement, 
for hay, for pasturage, and as a honey plant 
for the bees. 
White Flowering Sweet Clover is a biennial 
and, as a rule, does not bloom the first year 
after planting; the growth is much more rapid 
the second year. With the stimulus of food 
stored in the roots and the second year 
growth starting early in the spring of the 
second season, you are assured a good early 
pasturage or an abundant hay corp. 
The first year’s growth of this plant should 
be used for pasturage. The second year's 
growth can be used for pasturage as early 
as March—before most summer plants are 
available—and may be pastured throughout 
the early summer. 
Growing Sweet Clover is the best known 
method of building up worn-out lands. Black 
lands especially will respoad to Sweet Clover 
where commercial fertilizer fails.

Subterranean Clover 
(Trifolium Subterraneum) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “B” 
Subterranean Clover is an annual which, on 
account of re-seeding itself, is permanent 
when once established. 
The lower shoots force their seed pods into 
the soil, from which the Clover probably de- 
rives its name. 
It is also known as ‘Self Sown’’ Clover and 
“Carpet Forming’’ Clover and is classed in 
Texas as a low growing running annual. 
Sow 20 pounds of seed to the acre. As the 
seeds are reasonably large, can be planted 
with an ordinary grain drill. When planted 
in mixture, sow one-quarter the above

White Dutch Clover 
(Trifolium Repens) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “B” ° 
This wonderful clover is a native of Europe, 
but was introduced into this country many 
years ago. It is a low-growing plant and is 
usually seeded in mixture with other clovers 
and grasses. 
White Dutch Clover is a long-lived peren- 
nial. It is very valuable as a grazing plant; 
incidentally, valuable as a honey plant, and 
for soil improvement. You will also find this 
same Clover planted with grasses for a win- 
ter lawn—and in heavily shaded spots, 
through the summer. It requires a fairly most 
soil, with a preference for loamy, fertile soils. 
Does well in Bermuda and mixed pastures, 
furnishing grazing in late winter and early 
spring—long before the Bermuda starts. 
When sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds to 
the acre; when planted with other grasses, 
one-fourth the above amount is sufficient. 
Plant in fall or spring. Lb., $1.35; 2 lbs., $2.60, 
postpaid. Ask for prices in larger quantities.
