Strawberry Clover 



Strawberry clover is a low-growing perennial that is adapted to wet 

 soils in Montana, Wyoming, western Nebraska, Colorado, and New Mexico 

 and westward to the Pacific Coast. It withstands flooding and a wide range of 

 temperatures. It prefers saline soils, although it also grows well on non- 

 saline soils in the above regions. It is an excellent pasture and soil- 

 improvement crop for wet lands. 



Salinas , the only variety produced to date, is less winter hardy than 

 common. It is grown in central and southern California. 



Subc lover 



Subclover is an annual legume grown extensively on the coastal ranges 

 of Washington, Oregon, and California. Tests show that it is a promising 

 crop in the lower Piedmont and coastal plains of South Carolina, Mississippi, 

 Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. It requires cool, moist winters, 

 and well-drained soils that contain adequate amounts of phosphate. The 

 legume provides winter and spring pasture on land where drought prevails 

 during the summer months. The name, subclover, is derived from the 

 plant's habit of burying its seed heads in the soil as they mature. 



White Clover 



White clover is widely used throughout the United States for pastures 

 and lawns. Like all clovers, it requires a moist, cool climate during some 

 part of the year, but it will withstand greater extremes of temperature than 

 either red or alsike clover. White clover prefers moist clays or loams; it 

 does not grow well on strongly acid soils. There are three general types 

 of white clover: large, intermediate, and low-growing. The low-growing 

 type is better adapted for lawns and has no importance as a forage plant. 



Ladino is avarietyofthelargetype.lt exceeds ordinary white clover 

 in size of leaves, stolons, flower heads, and yield where adapted. It 

 produces a highly nutritious hay or pasture crop. It grows well in 

 Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and States east- 

 ward to the Atlantic Ocean. It can also be grown under irrigation in 

 other States. Continuous close grazing or cutting late in the fall in the 

 Northern States is not recommended. 



Pilgrim , a variety of white clover similar to Ladino, is somewhat 

 longer lived in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and 

 in parts of adjoining States. 



Louisiana White is a naturalized reseeding intermediate type that has 

 been grown in Louisiana and adjoining areas for many years. 



Louisiana S-l is a more vigorous -growing and higher -yielding 

 variety than Louisiana White. Its reseeding habit and climatic 

 adaptation is similar to those of Louisiana White. 



Nolin White is a selection from Louisiana White that is higher yield- 

 ing and somewhat more persistent than its parent.
