WHITE CLOVER. 
WHITE CLOVER. 
Dutch or Honeysuckle Clover. 
Botanical, 7yifolium repens. German, lWetss- 
klee. French, T'vefle blanc. 
Perennial. Time of flowering, May to September. 
Height, 6 inches (creeping). 
A very hardy creeping variety, which accom- 
modates itself to a great variety of soils, but 
grows most luxuriantly in moist ground or in 
wet seasons. It is valuable in mixtures for per- 
manent pastures and lawns, and also prevents 
the soils from b-ing washed by heavy rains. 
Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. peracre; weight per bush., 
Go lbs. (See cut.) 22 cts. per 1b., $12.00 per 
bushel, $20.00 per 100 Ibs.

RED CLOVER. 
(Perennial Red Clover, Cow Grass. ) 
Botanical, 7rifolium pratense perenne, Ger- 
man, Bullenklee. French, Trefle vivace 
ad Angleterre. 
Perennial. Tiime of flowering, July. Height, 3 to 5 feet. 
Quite distinct from the common Red (Clover, 
and valuable for purposes 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, yielding enormous bulk ; 
it is very valuable for reclaiming exhausted lands.

re-cleaned), (See Cwut.) 14 cts. per 1b., $7.25 per bushel, $12.00 per 100 lbs. 
(Lespedeza striata.) 
Is not a true clover, but in appearance and habit of growth much like White 
It is especially valuable in the Southern States where it will flourish on poor 
and exhausted soils, too poor to produce profitable crops of any other forage plant. It 
is an annual, but once sown it re-seeds itself from year to year, and in that way will 
last indefinitely, and is pronounced by competent authorities as the best pasture plant

(Sweet Clover.) 
German, Wunderklee. 
Time of flowering, June to September. 
This is a tall shrubby plant, bearing quantities of small white flowers of delicious 
fragance, and is exceedingly valuable for bees, and is also of great value to plow

CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. 
(Trifolium inearnatumi. ) 
The value of Scarlet Clover is now thoroughly established, and all lands from 
which crops have been harvested during the summer and fall should inimediately be 
sown with Scarlet Clover for plowing under the following spring. 
among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at the time of last hoeing, or after potatoes, 
melons, cucumbers, etc., have been harvested, or on grain-stubble and harrowed in. 
In latitude of N. Y. City, sow July 15th to Sept. 15th, but August is the best month.

Clovers are one of the most important factors to success in Agriculture. They ex- 
haust the soil less than any other class of plants giving equal bulk ; thev derive nitroven 
(the most co-tly element in fertilizers) from the atmosphere, and actually add to the 
fertility of the land. Clovers are of the greatest value for plowing under for supplying 
humus and nitrogen. 
RED CLOVER. (Common, or Medium Clover, June Clover.) 
Botanical, Zvifolium pratense. German, Kopfklee, roth bluhender, French, Trefle rouge. 
This is by far the most important Clover for practical agriculture. It grows luxuri- 
antly in stiff loamis, and is fond of lime, though it adapts itself to a variety of soils. In 
the Northern States it is generally sown in the spring, and in a short time yields abund- 
antly. Sow (if alone) 12 to 14 lbs. per acre. If sown in spring after Timothy, 6 to 8 lbs. 
per acre. CAUTION.—E£very care should be exercised in buying Red Clover, for there 
zs always on the market at a cheap price large quantities, badly infested with weed seeds, 
which in size and appearance closely resemble Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out. Lor 
some years past tmimense quantities of Red Clover, purposely adulterated with Yellow 
Trefoul (a small yellow-flowered annual clover of 
little or no value), have been sold to the unsuspect- 
ing farmer by country merchants who did not have 
the expert knowledge to detect it, and upon whom tt 
had been foisted by unscrupulous dealers. Our seed 
1s of high germination, pure and free from weed 
seeds and foreign matter. Price (subject to change 
without notice), Henderson’s Standard Sanmi- 
ple (extra re-cleaned), 13 cts. per lb., $6.60 per 
bushel, $11.00 per 100 Ibs, 
ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER. 
(Swedish Clover.) 
Botanical, 77¢folium hybridum. German, Bastard 
Klee. French, 7rvefle hybride. 
Perennial. Time of flowering, July and August. 
This is one of the hardiest of all the Clovers, It 
succeeds on any soil, and resists extremes of 
drought and wet. It yields enormously, and can 
be cut several times in a season ; is very nutritious, 
and is good for either green food, pasturing or 
cured for hay, It is valuable for sowing with other 
grasses and clovers, as it forms a thick bottom, and 
increases the yield of hay. Alsike Clover fre- 
quently produces heavy 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 with Timothy. Sow (if 
alone) 8 lbs. per acre; weight, 60 lbs. per bushel, 
16c. lb., $8.50 bushel, $14.00 per 100 lbs. 
COW GRASS, MAMMOTH OR PEA VINE CLOVER.
