CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. 
Crimson Clover is an annual, and when ripe to cut for hay it never starts again; but when sown early in the 
Summer on good land, if it has made a good growth, it can be pastured without harm during the fall and winter 
and still make a crop of hay at the usual time. It is a very rank grower —some stools counting as many as 120 
to 140 blossoms from one seed. It grows to the height of twenty to twenty-four inches ; roots deep, even in poor 
soil. It will grow and make a heavy crop of hay on land so poor that the common clover will do but little. It 
grows late in the fail, early in the spring, and in warm spells in winter, when Red Clover will not think of starting. 
The quantity of seed to sow per acre is from Io to 20 lbs., ro lbs. being enough to sow where the ground has 
been properly prepared. When land has been plowed and harrowed well, there is no better way than to sow seed 
and then go over with a plank drag. 
It is the earliest and best crop one can grow for soiling, being ready to cut in May. Stock of all kinds appear 
to do much better on it than on the Red Clover, cut and used in the same way. Price, pound, .12. 
SACALINE.— NEW FORAGE PLANT. 
Described by the introducer as follows —“ Grows to the height of ten feet and produces from go to 180 tons 
of green fodder per acre; endures the severest drought and is perfectly hardy ; thrives where no other forage plant 
will grow, and once planted will stand forever.” 
As this new plant will be largely advertised, we have bought seed in order that all who wish may try it. We 
await the results of trial before recommending it to New England farmers. Packet, .25. 
‘*ROSE LEAF”? EXTRACT OF TOBACCO. 
A perfectly pure aqueous extract, highly concentrated and of uniform strength. 
For Aphis, Red Spider, Thrip, Mealy Bug and other insects of like character, use one part extract to about 
forty-five parts of water applied, with a syringe or sprinkler. 
It is largely used for vaporizing, and in plant houses heated by steam, its use affords a quick and sure method 
of getting rid of troublesome insects. In houses heated by hot water, the pure extract painted on the pipes when 
they are hot, will prove effective. Prices, 14 pint, .30; pint, .50; quart, .75; gallon, 2.00.
