 CLOVER — C0MM0:N' SUCKLITTG CLOVER. 



Trifolium Flliforme. 



Grows naturally on dry, rocky, or gravelly places. 

 Common Suckling Clover has been recommended, 

 same as Trifolium Procumbens, for growing on dry, 

 rocky or gravelly places, which are incapable of sup- 

 porting the more valuable grasses or clovers. Like 

 Trifolium Procumbens, cattle are not found to relish 

 it, if they can procure more nutritious food. Although 

 generally termed an annual, Trifolium Filiforme is 

 often found of biennial duration, especially when 

 grown in medium good soil, or when eaten down by 

 cattle or sheep.
