Mammoth or Pea Vine Red Clover “cow crass 
Botanical, Trifolium pratense perenne. German, Bullenklee. French, Trefle vivace d’Angleterre. _ 
Perennial. Time of flowering, July. Height, 2 to 3 feet. Quite distinct from the common Red Clover, being of larger and coarser 
growth and valuable for purposes for which the latter is entirely unsuited. It lasts longer and is two or three weeks later than com- 
mon Red Clover. Of very robust growth, yielding enormous bulk, valuable for reclaiming exhausted lands. Sow (if alone) about 12 lbs. 
per acre; weight, 60 Ibs. per bushel. Henderson's Superior Sample (extra recleaned). Price, 35c. per Ib., $19.75 per bushel, $32.00

White Clover “Sickie Ctover) 
SUCKLE CLOVER) 
Botanical, Trifolium repens. German, Weissklee. 
French, Trefle blanc. 
Perennial. Time of flowering, May to September. Height, 
6 inches (creeping). 
A very hardy, creeping Clover, which accommodates itself to 
a great variety of soils and climates; being found in every state 
in the Union. It grows most luxuriantly in moist ground or during 
wet seasons, but succeeds wherever there is enough rainfall to 
grow cereal grains. It is a perennial plant, the stems having the 
habit of creeping along the ground and taking root at the joints, 
so that plants are multiplied indefinitely. White Clover also remains 
in bloom so long, that blossoms are forming and maturing seeds 
most of the summer, and vast numbers of young plants spring up 
from these seli-sown seeds. It will therefore readily be seen, that 
once it takes possession of the land—even though grazed—it will 
be permanent for a number of years. 
White Clover is also a very valuable addition to mixtures for 
permanent pastures, as it furnishes considerable plant food to the 
other Grasses composing such mixtures. This is owing to the ability 
of its stems to continually produce new plants which occupy the 
soil when the old plants die and are turned into fertilizer. 
In mixtures for lawns, White Clover is always used, as there 
is no plant more suitable for the formation of a dense sward, and also 
to prevent the washing out of soil during heavy rains. As a bee 
plant it is famous the world over, and there is probably no other 
plant in existence which furnishes more or better honey. Sow (if | an g Cini ‘S. Set ‘

ew retoverny Alsike or Hybrid Clover 
Botanical, Trifolium hybridum. German, Bastard Klee. French, Trefle hybride. 
Perennial. Time of flowering, July and August. 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, thriving 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 finer texture. It is very nutritious, 
its feeding value equalling that of Alfalfa and is good for either green forage, pasture or hay. When mixed with Red Clover it improves 
the quality of the latter. It is valuable for sowing with other Grasses and Clovers as it forms a thick bottom, increasing the 
yield of hay. 
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 lbs. 
per acre; weight 60 Ibs. per bushel. (See cut.) 30c. per lb., $16.25 per bushel, $26.00 per 100 lbs. 
White Bokhara Clover °éfdver) 
Botanical, Melilotus alba. German, Wunderklee. French, Trefle de Bokhara. 
Biennial. Time of flowering, June to September. Height, 3 to 5 feet. 
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 importance 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 
, togrow. Sow 10 lbs. per acre; weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 30c. per lb., $16.25 per bushel, $26.00 
Per 100 Ibs. J l (LESPEDEZA 
apan Clover STRIATA) 
An annual leguminous plant considerably grown, particularly in the South, asas 
pasture, green forage and hay crop. It also has much value as a soil enricher when | 
under as green manure. It will flourish on poor and exhausted soils, too poor to pri 
2 profitable crops of any other forage plant. Though an annual, once sown it reseeds | 
from year to year, and in that way will last indefinitely, and is pronounced by competent 
authorities as the best pasture plant for impoverished soil in the Southern states. Sow 
14 lbs. per acre; weight 20 lbs. per bushel. 30c. per lb., $5.50 per bushel of 20 lbs., 
$25.00 per 100 lbs.
