PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



MEDIUM RED CLOVER 



Trifolium pratense 

 Common or Medium Clover; June Clover 



lied Clover according to locality is a biennial or short-lived 

 perennial. It grows one to two feet in height and usually makes 

 two crops a year, yielding two to three tons of cured hay per 

 acre. Clover hay is very nutritious; all stock fed on it require 

 less grain. In Northern States Red Clover seed is usually 

 sown in the spring; the earlier the better. If grown alone, use 

 12 to 14 pounds of seed per acre if broadcasted and cover not 

 over half an inch deep. Red Clover may be seeded with a 

 number of different grasses as Timothy, Orchard Grass or 

 Tall Oat Grass, but usually it is grown with Timothy, 8 to 

 10 pounds of Clover and half a bushel of Timothy seed being 

 sown per acre. A very satisfactory combination is 5 pounds of 

 Red Clover, 5 pounds of Alsike Clover, 20 pounds of Timothy 

 and 5 pounds of Fancy Red Top per acre. This makes a fine 

 quality of merchantable hay and the field does not run out so 

 soon as Clover and Timothy alone. 



Price, 45c. per lb.; $24.75 per bushel of 60 lbs.; $40.00 per 

 100 lbs. 



ALSIKE or HYBRID CLOVER 



Trifolium hybridum 

 Swedish Clover 



Alsike or Swedish Clover is a hybrid intermediate in growth 

 and appearance between Red and White Clovers. The blos- 

 soms are pinkish white. It is a perennial and one of the hardiest 

 of all Clovers, thriving particularly well in cool and cold climates 

 and not only stands freezing well, but will grow in moister 

 soil than Red Clover, and has produced splendid crops under 

 irrigation. It is very nutritious, its feeding value equalling 

 that of Alfalfa and is good for either green forage, pasture or 

 hay. It is valuable for sowing with other Grasses and Clovers 

 as it forms a thick bottom, increasing the yield of hay. 



We strongly advise farmers to add 2 or 3 lbs. per acre to 

 their usual seeding of Red Clover and Timothy. Sow (if alone) 

 8 lbs. per acre; weight 60 lbs. per bushel. 



Price, 42c. per lb. $23.50 per bushel of 60 lbs. $38.00 per 

 100 lbs. 



MAMMOTH or Pea Vine Red CLOVER 



Trifolium pratense perenne 



Perennial Red Clover or Cow Grass 



Quite distinct from the common Red Clover, beinjr of larger 

 and coarser growth, growing 2 to 3 feet high. It la-ts longer 

 and is two or three weeks later than common Red Clover, and 

 being of very robust growth, yields enormous bulk valuable for 

 reclaiming exhausted lands. Sow (if alone.) about 12 lbs. 

 per acre; weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. 



Price, 46c. per lb. $26.00 per bushel $42.00 per 100 lbs. 



WHITE CLOVER 



Trifolium repens 

 Dutch or Honeysuckle 



In mixtures for lawns White Clover is always used, as there 

 is no plant more suitable for the formation of a dense sward. 

 and also to prevent the washing out of soil during heavy rains. 

 Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre; weight, per bushel, 60 lbs. 



Price, 75c. per lb. $42.75 per bushel $70.00 per 100 lbs. 



WHITE BOKHARA CLOVER 



Melilotus nihil (Sweet Clover 



Height, 3 to 5 feet 



A perennial leguminous plant of tall, shrub-like growth, 

 occasionally grown as a forage plant, and often for bees because 

 the numerous small white flowers possess a sweet, honey-like 

 fragrance. The importance of Bokahara Clover, however, is 

 its value for plowing under for green manuring, particularly to 

 prepare poor soils where it is difficult to get other crops to grow. 

 Sow 10 lbs. per acre; weight 00 lbs. per bushel. 



Price, 25c. per lb. $12.75 per bushel $20.00 per 100 lbs.

HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR RECLEANED 



CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER 



Trifolium Incarnatum 



Crimson Clover forms an upright branching plant 1 to 2 feet 

 in height, according to soil, locality It roots very 



deeply and is a bountiful provider of oitrog 



Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet O 

 profitable cultivation thousands of aerea of poor land. 



If grown for hay, it must be cut when corning into full bloom, 

 and properly cured. It is then richer in protein than red clover, 

 and the yield of cured hay on average soils will be 2 to 3 tons per 

 acre. The average yield cut green for forage and silage will be 

 from 8 to 15 tone p f;r acre. Cni also makes the best 



early spring pastures when about six inches high. 



.Sow at the rate of 15 pounds of seed per acre, either broadcast 

 or drilled. Cover lightly with a harrow. If sown t 

 especially in Southern States. Crimson Clover is apt to mature 

 and form seeds the same season without making full growth. 

 In the latitude of New York City bow from July 15 to September 

 15, and in the South as late as October 



Price, 22c. per lb.; $11.50 per bushel of 60 lbs.; $18.00 per
