 soils and along roadsides. Periodically this plant comes into notice, due 

 probably to favorable seasonal conditions inducing an abundant growth of 

 unusual size. It often attracts the attention of farmers to such an extent 

 that they become interested in its economic possibilities and send samples 

 to their experiment station for information and advice. 



There are several species of hop clover and the taller one doubtless is 

 worthy of cultivation for pasture purposes and for soil improvement, 

 especially on run-down soils that are best suited for pasture purposes.
