WHIIE CLOVER. 



WHITE CI.OVER. 



Dutch or Honeysuckle Cloirer. 



Botanical, Trifoliumrepens. German, Weissklee. 

 French, Trifle 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 

 permanent pastures and lawns, and also pre- 

 vents the soils from being washed by heavy 

 rains. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre ; weight 

 per bush., 60 lbs. {See cut.) Price, 22 cts. per 

 lb., S12.00 per bushel, $20.00 per 100 lbs. 



Mampti5 oi' P^^ ^i°B I(ed CloVer'. 



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 ; they get much sus- 

 tenance from the atmosphere, and actually add to the fertility of the land. 



RBD CL,OVER. (Common or Medium Clover, June Clover.) 



Bota.mca,l, Trifolium pratense. Germa.n, Kopfklee, roth bluhender. French, Trifle rouge. 

 This is by far the most important of the Clover family for practical agricultute. It 

 grows luxuriantly in stiff loams, and is fond of lime, tliough 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 abundantly. Sow (if alone) 12 to 14 lbs. per acre. If sown in spring after Timoth;||^, 

 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. Price, Henderson's Standard Sample (extra re-cleaned), 14 ct^. 

 per lb., $7.25 per bushel, $12.00 per 100 lbs. 



ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER. 



(S^WEDISH CLOVER.) 



Botanical, Trifolium hybridum. German, Bastard 



Klee. French, Trifle hybride. 



Perennial. Time of flowering, July and August. 



Height, 9 to 18 inches. 



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 tliick bottom, 

 and increases the yield of hay. Alsike Clover fre- 

 quently produces heavy crops on soils that have 

 become "clover sick," and whei'e no other clovers 

 will succeed. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs, per acre ; weight, 

 60 lbs. per bushel. 18c. lb., $10.00 bushel, $16.00 

 per 100 lbs. 



YELLOW TREFOIL CLOVER. 



(Hop Closer, Nonsuch or Black Medick.) 



Botanical, Medicago lupuUna. German, Gelb-Hop- 



fenklee. French, Mineltejutme. 



Biennial. Time of flowering, May to August. 



Height, 8 to 15 inches. 



An excellent variety for sheep pastures, either 

 alone or with other grasses. It thrives on dry, 

 inferior soils ; starts vei-y early in the spring ; valu- 

 able for one or two years' lay. Very productive and 

 grows rapidly. Sow (if alone) 15 lbs. per acre. 20c. 

 per lb., $10.00 per bushel, $16.00 per 100 lbs. 



cow GRABS, MAMMOTH On PEA TINE CLOVER. 



(Perennial Red Clover, Cow Crass.) 



Botanical, Trifolium pratense perenne. German, 



Bullenklee. French, Trifle vivace d' Angleterre. 

 Perennial. Time of flowering, July. Height, 3 to 5 feet. 

 Quite distinct from the common Ked Clover, 

 and valuable for purposes for which the latter 

 is entirely unsuited. It lasts for years and is 

 adapted for longer lays. It produces a cutting 

 crop two or three weeks later than common Red 

 Clover, of very robust growth, yielding enor- 

 mous bulk ; it is very valuable for reclaiming 

 exhausted lands. Sow (if alone) about 12 lbs. 

 per acre; weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. Price, 

 Henderson's Standard Sample (extra re-cleaned), 15 cts. per lb., $8.00 per bushel, 

 $13.00 per 100 lbs. 



YEI.I.01V SUCKI.ING CLOVER. 



Botanical, TrifoUamJiliforme. German, Gelber fadevformigcr Klee. French, Trifle filiforme. 

 Perennial. Time of flowering, May to July. Height, 6 in. (creeping). 



A small trailing Yellow Clover, succeeding well on dry, gravelly or sandy soils. 

 Stands the hot sun, and can be advantageously sown with mixtures for either lawns or 

 permanent pastures for dry situations. Sow (if alone) 10 lbs. per acre. Price, 35 cts. per 

 lb., $19.50 per bushel, S30.00 per 100 lbs. 



Vk'HITE BOKHARA. (Sweet Clover.) 



Botanical, Melilotus alba. German, Wunderklee. French, Trifle de Bokhara. 



Biennial. Time of flowering, June to September. Height, 2 to 4 feet. 



This is a tall shrubby plant, bearing quantities of small white flowers of delicious 

 fragrance, and is exceedingly valuable as a pasturage throughout the season for bees, 

 and is also of great value to plow under as a fertilizer. It flourishes on poor soils and in 

 exposed situations. Should be sown in the spring, and if expedient in drills 12tol8 inches 

 apart, requiring 10 lbs. per acre. Price, 35 cts. per lb., $18.00 per bush., S30.00 per 100 lbs. 



CRI9IS01S OR SCAREET CEOVER. 



(Trifolium incarnatum.) 



The value of Scarlet Clover is now thoroughly established, and all lands from which^ 

 crops have been harvested during the summer and fall should be sown with Scarlet Clover^ 

 for plowing under the following spring. The quality of the hay and fodder is superior to ' 

 that of Red Clover. It may be sown among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at the time ot\ _, ^ 

 last hoeing, or after potatoes, melons, cucumbers, etc., have been harvested, or on grain '^-^ 



stubble and harrowed in. In the latitude of New York time of sowing may extend from " ^^ ,- ^jA r-t^t-'^'' t'^^^^,
