CRimSOX OR SCAREET CEOVER. 



( Tt'ifolinin incarnatiun. ) 



The Great Soil Improver, Early Qreen Feed, Grazing or 

 for Hay Crop. 



Soiling, or early green feed, is important in the early spring. 

 As Crimson Clover is so much ahead of the pasture it can be 

 readily cut and carried to the stabled slock. It will not make 

 a second crop in time for turning under for green manure. 



Fertilizer, This js^one of the best uses to which Crimson 

 Clcjver is adapted. Its caoacity for stooling and root form- 

 ation is very great; like other plants it gathers nitrogen from 

 the air and stores it in the jilants and roots, which become 

 valuable food for crops that follow. 



Pasturage. When sown early enough to get a good start 

 Crimson Clover will make a splendid winter grazing for 

 sheep and cattle, and is the earliest pasture in spring. 



Hay. Crimson Clover produces from 2 to 3 tons of cured Hay 

 per acre. To secure the best quality of Hay it should be cut 

 before full bloom. It cures very rapidly and should be care- 

 fully handled to retain as much leaf as possible, but the stalks 

 are very nutritious.
