It cm be seeded at any tune from June to October, at the rate of 15 to 20 

 pounds per acre, and makes the earliest possible spring pasture, blooming the 

 latter part of April or May, and for feeding as hay should lie cm when in full 

 bloom. If sown with Italian Rye Grass or Orchard Grass, which matures at 

 the same time, it yields luxuriant and nutritious crops for pasture. 



Sow Crimson Clover at the last working of all crops like Beans, Corn, Melons, 

 Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and other crops, whenever the land is not intended for 

 such early spring crops as would not be benefited by following such a .seeding, 

 although it would pay to seed for only fall and winter months if only for pro- 

 tecting the ground through the winter and catching and holding the fertility of 

 the soil, which would otherwise be lost by leaching or other causes. In addi- 

 tion to all this, the plant's and roots would prevent washings that occur during 

 winter thaws.

 peas. Both the vines and pods are eaten by live stock of all kinds, and the 

 beans can be ground either with or without the pods, and fed instead of corn, 

 or oats, or can be mixed with them. It is a strong grower, and should be 

 planted in rows about 4 ft. apart, and 1 ft. apart in the row, putting 2 or 3 

 beans in each place. It will quickly cover the ground with a thick mass of 

 foliage. The culture is same as for cow peas. Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 25 cts., by
