inoculation, grazing, and clipping. 
VARIETIES 
Varieties of white clover may be 
G@ivided into three types: large, 
imenmecaiate, and small. There is 
variation within each type; a natural- 
ized variety of one type may contain 
plants of one or both of the other 
types. Bred varieties are usually more 
uniform in type. A representative 
plant of the large type may have 
leaves, stems, and flowers two to 
four times as large as those of a repre- 
sentative intermediate plant, and 
about six times as large as those of 
plants of the small type. 
Varieties of the large and inter- 
mediate types are the most satis- 
factory in the region; they perform 
better than any of the small-type 
white clovers. Following are de- 
scriptions of the varieties generally 
recommended. 
Intermediate Type 
Louisiana S—-1.—Developed by the 
Louisiana Agricultural Experiment 
Station and feleased in 1951) In 
trials, it has produced greater yields 
of forage than any other strain or 
Vatiety of the intermediate type 
Stands persist longer into the hot 
summer months than other varieties. 
It sets an abundance of seed for reseed-
