CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. 



Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular both for pasture and 

 hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. It can be seeded 

 at any time from June to October at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, and 

 makes the earliest possible green pasture, blooming the latter part of April 

 or May, and for feeding as hay should be cut just before coming into full 

 bloom. It is a very rank grower, some stools containing as many as 120 

 to 140 blossoms from one seed. One acre grown at the New Jersey 

 Experimental Station yielded, May 31st, 6,997 pounds of organic matter, 

 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds of phosphoric acid, and l86j^ pounds 

 of potash. The nitrogen alone could not be bought for ^30.00, and is 

 fully equal to that found in 20 tons of stable manure, and at such a small 

 cost. It not only builds up worn out soils, when turned under, but rich 

 soils are kept up to their fertility with less cost than by any other means.
