CRIMSON OR SCARI^BT CI^OTBR. 



( Trifoliitm iiicarnatum.^ 

 The Great Soil Improver, Early Green Feed, Grazing or for Hay Crop. 



Soiling, ur early green' feed, is iinportaiit in the early spring. As Crimson 

 Clover IS so mucli ahead of the pasture it can be readily cut and carried to 

 the stai>led stock. It will not make a second crop m time for turning under 

 for green manure. 



Fertilizer. This is (me of the best uses to which Crimson Clover is adapted. 

 Its cap.icity for stooling and root formation is very great ; like other plants 

 it gaj;h:;rs nitrogen from the air and stores it ii\ the plants and roots, which 

 become valuable food for crops that follow ; it produces 8 to 10 tons of green 

 fodder per acre. 



Pasturage. When sown early enough to get a good start Crimson Clover 

 will maice a splendid winier grazing for sheep and cattle, and is the earliest 

 pasture in spri;ig, as it blooms during the latter part of April. 



Hay. Crimson Clover produces from 2 to 3 tons of cured Hay per acre. T > 

 secure tne best quality of Hay it should be cut before full bloom. It cures 

 very rapidly and should be carefully handled to retain as much leaf as pos- 

 sible, but the stalks are very nutritious. Can be cut three weeks earlier than 

 Red Clover.

 ties of these old stand-bys. The heads are large and full oi 

 beautilul, plump, red grains. The straw is stout and Mifl, 

 thereby enabling it to stand up well. This new variety is pro-

 close-chaffed wheat, and holds the berry light. Peck, 50 cts.; 

 bus., $].60. Add cost of bags (18 cts.) for each 2-bushel.

 um height, with stiff, strong straw, ripens early, and seldom 

 fails to make a good crop. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1.60. Add 

 cost of bags (18 cts.) for each 2-bushel.
