SWEET- CLOVER SEED. 



Sweet clover is one of the chief sources of honey 

 in Utah, Idaho, and other regions of the West, as 

 well as in many localities in the South and other 

 sections of the country. In recent years farmers 

 are also learning of its great value in enriching the 

 soil by the inti'oduction of nitrogen. We recently 

 printed a booklet of about 50 pages entitled "The 

 Truth about Sweet Clover." This contains the ex- 

 perience of a great inany who have grown it to a 

 greater or less extent. We shall be pleased to mail 

 this booklet to those interested, free, on request. 

 We have a good stock of choice fresh seed which 

 we oflfer at the following prices. As to the compar- 

 ative value of the diflerent varieties, we will say 

 that the white, or MeliloUis alba, is most common, 

 and therefore the best known. The yellow is de- 

 sirable because it begins blooming usually from 

 two to four weeks earlier than the white. As to 

 the two varieties of yellow, one of the experiment 

 stations has said there was a distinction without a 

 difference. From the testiinony available, the an- 

 nual, or Melilot us Indica. blooms first; and in Cal- 

 ifornia, where our seed was procured, it is reported 

 as growing from two to six feet high, depending on 

 the character of soil, moisture, and other condi- 

 tions.
