Red Clover. 



Alfalfa or Chili Clover, or French 



Ivlicerne. This variety does well here, but 

 the ground has to be Vvcll prepared and 

 deepl}' plowed. It will not do in low wet 

 ground. Should be sown in the fall of the 

 };ear, or January and February; eight to ten 

 pounds per acre. It is slated that it does 

 much better in heavy than in sandy soil. 



Crimson Clover. Trifoliuni Incarna- 

 turn. Crimson Clover, an annual variety, 

 which is a native of a warm* climate, has 

 not been grown as extensively as it de- 

 serves to be. 



It has been highly praised up as a forage 

 plant, said to be equall}- as good for pastur- 

 age as well as for mowing and to do better 

 in poor worn out soil than any other vari- 

 ety. 



It certainly has attracted a great deal of 

 attention in the South during the past three 

 or four years, and the Experiment Stations 

 of Louisiana and othtrr vSouthern States 

 speak highly of it, l)u': its true merits are 

 still in doubt. 



Crimson Clover has been grown for years 

 in the South of France and Germany, with 

 what success is not knowii. but it is claimed 

 that owing to its quick grov/th it is prefera- 

 ble to other varieties. 



As a forage plant it maj/ be mowed twice 

 and then plowed under, thereby acting ss a 

 fertilizer and renovating the exhausted soil. 



In the Southern States Crimson Clover | 

 should be sovrn in r'le months of October j 

 and November. Ifowever, it may be sown | 

 with good results as late as January or Feb- ; 

 ruary and will produce a fine crop. The . 

 demand for this variety of Clover has in- 

 creased considerably since a few years. 

 From 8 to lo pounds should be sown per , 

 acre '

Meadow Fesctie. Fcstuca Fraiensis. 

 As a pds.urage grass we consider this one of 

 the most valuable. It is not affected by dry 

 weather, as its roots penetrate the earth 12 

 to 15 niches; it is much relished b}' all kinds 

 of Slock on account of its long and tender 

 leaves. It yields a very suDerior hav when^
