SCARLET CLOVER. (Tri/olium Incarnatum.) Sow in July, 

 August or September, for soiling or mowing the ensuing spring. In 

 our experimental grounds in New York State, this has proved quite 

 hardy, during the past two winters, (which however were somewhat

 Fodder it yields, can be cut and cleared from the ground by the 

 middle of June following, enabling the farmer to get a "catch crop" to 

 plow under or use, and then fallow the land for Winter Wheat, or 

 Spring Grain. It should be cut when in full flower. 18 cts. lb.; 10
