"As the result of our experiments last season with these 

 clovers, we will not sow any more crimson on any large scale 

 until w^e have experimented further with it, but will try medium 

 red, sown in our orchards about June 15th to July 20th. Our 

 objects will be to secure a covering for the ground during the 

 latter part of the summer, fall and winter to improve the mechan- 

 ical condition of the soil, and to add fertilitv. Our intention 

 would be to plow under the clover in May and June following. 

 We refer to orchard purposes entirely. We think the red is 

 worthy of further experiments, and would advise others to try it 

 for tli em selves. We have long felt the need of something which 

 will give us the results we have attained the past season with the 

 red clover, and if results are generally as satisfactory as they 

 have been this time, we will be satisfied;" but we are not yet 

 ready to give any final opinion upon the question.
