PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVE K RS'aTum, 



The Most Valuable Plant Known for Restoring the Fertility of Wornout Soils 



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. Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent 

 to 20 tons of stable manure per acre. 



It is the cheapest source of nitrogen and has revolutionized the methods of farming in many States, 

 has restored to profitable cultivation thousands of acres of poor land. Its value as a winter soil mulch 

 and for green manuring for orchards cannot be overestimated. 



If intended for feeding, it should always be cut while in the young stage, and never fed to stock after 

 the crop has ceased flowering, as serious results are apt to follow the feeding of overripe Crimson Clover. 



In the latitude of New York, time for sowing may extend from July 15th to September 15th, and further 

 South up to October. The seed needs to be only lightly covered, and a good plan is to sow on fresh plowing 

 and cover with a light harrow. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. (See engraving.) 



Choice new crop seed of highest growing quality, thoroughly re-cleaned, and free from weed seeds. 



Price, 40c. lb.; $17.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; $25.00 per 100 lbs. 



ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER ( ™ F0LIUMHYBRIDUM) 



A hybrid intermediate in growth and appearance between Red and White Clovers. It is a perennial 

 and one of the hardiest of all clovers, thriving particularly well in cool climates and stands freezing well. 

 It is valuable for sowing with other grasses and clovers 

 as it forms a thick bottom, increasing the yield of 

 hay. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre; weight, 60 lbs. 

 per bushel. 



Price (Domestic Grown), 70c. lb.; $36.00 per bushel 

 of 60 lbs.; $55.00 per 100 lbs.
