CLOVERS. 227 



from China about 1850. It re-seeds on the same 

 ground year after year, and has not been sown much 

 artificially. It is highly prized for pasture in the 

 South, but is not suited to northern climate. It is 

 somewhat cut for hay also on the lowlands. It seems 

 to have been spread by the war, the seed having been 

 carried from place to place in the hay and by the 

 horses. It was not much known before that time.
