431. Time of seeding. The time of seeding red clover 

 is determined largely by its relation to other crops in the 

 rotation, and by climatic conditions. In the southern- 

 most clover sections, fall sowing is necessary, as few plants 

 are able to survive the summer after the hay is cut. In the 

 northernmost places where it succeeds, spring sowing is 

 usually necessary in order to avoid serious winter-killing. 

 In the region of its most extensive culture, seeding may 

 be done at any time from very early spring to early fall, 

 or even in midwinter on the snow or frozen ground.
