 succeed on compact clay, nor on land 

 with impervious subsoil. The roots 

 shoot downward till they are ten or 

 fifteen feet below the surface, and will 

 therefore resist the driest weather.

Scarlet or Crimson Clover. TrifoUum 

 incarnatum. This annual Clover 



thrives best on warm, loose, sandy
