Clovers sup 
ALSIKE OR HYBRID 
(Trifolium Hybridum) 
Alsike or Swedish Clover is a hybrid intermediate 
in growth and appearance between Red and White 
Clovers. The blossoms are pinkish white. It is a 
perennial and one of the hardiest of all Clovers, thriv- 
ing particularly well in cool and cold climates and 
stands freezing well, but also adapts itself to most 
climates where Clovers grow, and will grow in 
moister soil than Red Clover, in fact, has produced 
splendid crops under irrigation. The plants attain a 
height of one to two feet; stems and leaves, though 
smaller than those of Red Clover, are much more 
numerous, making hay of fine texture. 
Alsike frequently produces good crops on soils on 
which Red Clover will not grow. We strongly advise 
farmers to add 2 or 3 lbs. per acre to their usual 
seeding of Red Clover and Timothy. Sow (if alone) 
8 Ibs. per acre. (See engraving.)

CRIMSON OR SCARLET 
(Trifolium Incarnatum) 
Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is 
equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre and 
even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, the bene- 
fits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root for- 
mation will alone many times repay the cost of seed 
and labor. 
Crimson Clover cut when coming into bloom makes 
hay richer in protein than Red Clover, and the yield 
on average soils is two to three tons per acre. It is 
especially adapted for green forage and silage and is 
much relished by dairy stocks. Cut green before 
flowers mature. 
Crimson Clover should not be fed after the flowers 
mature for the hairs of the calyx are apt to form 
“hair balls’? in the stomachs of animals. 
Sow at the rate of 15 pounds of seed per acre, 
either broadcast or drilled. In the latitude of New 
York City sow in July. 
Price, lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00; 25 lbs. $7.00; 
100 lbs. $24.00. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
An annual leguminous plant considerably grown, 
particularly in the South, as a summer pasture, green 
forage and hay crop. Valuable as a soil enricher for 
green manure. Sow 14 Ibs. per acre.

HENDERSON’S 
ERIOR RECLEANED 
LADINO CLOVER 
This type of Clover is used in pasture mixtures 
with success and is hardier than Alfalfa. Can be 
used as a green feed for poultry. 
Sow 8 lbs. per acre. 
Price, lb., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $15.00. 
MEDIUM RED 
(Trifolium Pratense) 
(Domestic Grown) 
Red Clover according to locality is a biennial or 
short-lived perennial. It grows one to two feet in 
height and usually makes two crops a year, yielding 
two to three tons of cured hay per acre. Clover hay 
is very nutritious; all stock fed on it require less 
grain; chopped and steamed it is a good substitute 
for green food for poultry during the winter. As 
pasturage all animals thrive on it, particularly cattle, 
sheep and pigs, and as a green manuring and soiling 
crop it is very valuable, adding humus and nitrogen 
to the soil. In Northern States Red Clover seed is 
usually sown in the spring; the earlier the better. If 
grown alone, use 12 to 14 pounds of seed per acre if 
broadcasted and cover not over half an inch deep. 
Price; 1b. 60¢.; 10 lbs; $5.50; 25 tbs. $12.00: 
100 Ibs. $40.00. 
MAMMOTH OR PEA VINE RED 
(Trifolium Pratense perenne) 
Domestic Grown) 
Quite distinct from the common Red Clover, being 
of larger and coarser growth and valuable for pur- 
poses for which the latter is entirely unsuited. It 
lasts longer and is two or three weeks later than 
common Red Clover. Of very robust growth, yield- 
ing enormous bulk valuable for reclaiming exhausted 
lands. Sow (if alone) about 12 Ibs. per acre. Hen-

WHITE DUTCH OR HONEYSUCKLE 
(Trifolium repens) 
White Clover is a valuable addition to mixtures for 
permanent pastures, as it furnishes considerable plant 
food to the other Grasses composing such mixtures. 
Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre.

WHITE BOKHARA 
(Sweet Clover) 
(Melilotus alba) 
A perennial leguminous plant of tall, shrub-like 
growth, occasionally grown as a forage plant, and 
often for bees; the numerous small white flowers 
possess a sweet, honey-like fragrance. The impor- 
tance of Bokhara Clover, however, is its value for 
plowing under for green manuring, particularly to 
prepare poor soils where it is difficult to get other 
crops to grow. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. 
Price, lb. 30c.; 10 lbs. $2.50; 25 Ibs., $5.00; 
100 Ibs. $18.00. 
WILD WHITE 
A dwarf-growing clover which should be added to 
pasture, helps the grasses by adding nitrogen to the 
soil. thrives on all soils and is relished by cattle.

YELLOW TREFOIL 
(Medicago Lupulina) 
(Bird’s Foot Clover) 
This variety of Clover is recommended by some 
states in mixtures for pasture mixture. A_ dwart 
growing hardy plant; it is a nourishing and bene- 
ficial food for all cattle. Sow 8 lbs. per acre.
