OLDS’ CLOVER SEED 
OLDS’ HARDY NORTHERN GROWN 
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 containing only 75% pure clean 
seed is an extravagant 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 Reliability’’ 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.

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.

northern states. It is used mostly for its fibre

cluded in feed. When grown for fibre, moist or 
under-drained and fairly rich loam is required. 
When produced for seed less fertile soil and 
moisture are required, 
REDSON 
Redson is a variety of flax which was approved 
for certified seed production by the Wisconsin 
College of Agriculture and the Wisconsin Experi- 
ment Association. Tt has special merit with 
respect to yield and quantity of oil. In tests in 
Wisconsin and a number of neighboring states, 
it has averaged higher in acre yield in most 
places than the best of the old varieties. It has 
a strong plant and matures early. Very resistant 
to the wilt disease,

A Beautiful Field of 
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 Ibs. 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., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25, postpaid; pk. (15 lbs.),

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,
