it is more abundant than the red, and the heads are 

 nearly as large. Also pastures which are close cropped, 

 and where I think there was little or no clover 

 last year, are spotted white with a humbler growth. 

 And everywhere, by roadsides, garden borders, etc., 

 even where the sward is trodden hard, the small 

 white heads on short stems are sprinkled every- 

 where. As this is the season for the swarming of 

 bees, and this clover is very attractive to them, it is 

 probably the more difficult to secure them; at any 

 rate it is the more important to secure their services 

 now that they can make honey so fast. It is an in- 

 teresting inquiry why this year is so favorable to the 

 growth of clover.
