Henderson's Superior Recleaned 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover 



( Trifolium Incarnatum) 



Plowing under a good crop of 

 Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 

 tons of stable manure per acre 

 and even if the Clover be har- 

 vested or pastured, the benefits 

 derived from the wonderful ni- 

 trogenous I root formation will 

 alone many times repay the cost 

 of seed and labor. 



Crimson Clover cut when com- 

 ing into bloom makes hay richer 

 in protein than Red Clover, and 

 the yield on average soils is two 

 to three tons per acre. It is es- 

 pecially adapted for green forage 

 and silage and is much relished 

 by dairy stocks. Cut green be- 

 fore flowers mature. 



Crimson Clover should not be 

 fed after the flowers mature for 

 the hairs of the calyx. are apt to 

 form "hair balls" in the stomachs 

 of animals. 



Sow at the rate of 15 pounds of 

 seed per acre, either broadcast or 

 drilled. Cover lightly with a 

 harrow. If sown too early, espe- 

 cially in Southern States, it is 

 apt to mature and form seeds the 

 same season without making full 

 growth. In the latitude of New 

 York City sow from July 15 to 

 September 15, and in the South as late as October, 

 ing is June; height 2 feet. 



Price, 85c. per lb.; $15.75 per bnshel of 60 lbs.; $25.00 per 100 lbs. 



>an Clover (Lespedeza Striata) 

 An annual leguminous plant grown as a summer pasture, green 

 forage and hay crop. It also has much value as a soil em-icher when 

 plowed under as green manure. It will flourish on poor and ex- 

 hausted soils, too poor to produce profitable crops of any other 

 forage plant. Sow 14 lbs. per acre; weight, 20 lbs. per bushel. 

 Price, 70c. per lb.; $13.00 per bushel of 20 lbs.; $60.00 per 100 lbs. 



DV HONEYSUCKLE White Clover (Trifolium repens) 

 "White Clover is a valuable addition to mixtures for permanent 



pastures, as it furnishes considerable plant food to the other Grasses 



composing such mixtures. Perennial. Time of flowering, May to 



September. Height 6 inches (creeping). 



In mixtures for lawns White Clover is always used to prevent the 



washing out of soil during heavy rains. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per 



acre; weight, per bushel, 60 lbs. 



Price, 90c. per lb.; $45.00 per bnshel; $70.00 per 100 lbs. 



CLOVERS 



Henderson's Medium Red Clover 



Domestic Grown (Trifolium Pratense) 

 Red Clover grows one to two feet in height and usually 

 makes two crops a year, yielding two to three tons of cured 

 hay per acre. Stock fed on it require less grain; chopped 

 and steamed it is a good substitute for green food for poultry 

 during the winter. As pasturage all animals thrive on it, 

 particularly cattle, sheep and pigs, and as a green manuring 

 and soiling crop it is very valuable, adding humus and nitro- 

 gen to the soil. In Northern States Red Clover seed is usu- 

 ally sown in the spring; the earlier the better. If grown 

 alone, use 12 to 14 pounds of seed per acre if broadcast 

 and cover not over half an inch deep. 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. (See engraving.) 



Price, Henderson's Domestic Grown (extra re- 

 cleaned), 80c. per lb.; $42.75 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 

 $70.00 per 100 lbs. 



Mammnf-h "'PEAVINE pl ov - r (Trifolium 

 RF.n V^lOVer Pratense perenne) 



Time of flower- 



Jape 



RED 

 Domestic Grown 



Quite distinct from the common Red Clover, be- 

 ing of larger and coarser growth and valuable for 

 purposes for which the latter is entirely unsuited. 

 It lasts longer and is two or three weeks later than 

 common Red Clover. Of very robust growth, yield- 

 ing enormous bulk valuable for reclaiming ex- 

 hausted lands. Perennial. Time of flowering, July. 

 Height, 2 to 3 feet. Sow (if alone) about 12 lbs. per 

 acre; weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. Price (Domestic 

 Grown), S5c. per lb.; $46.00 per bushel; $72.00 per 

 100 lbs. 



S c W L K H Alsike or Hybrid Clover gffiSJ 



Alsike is a perennial and one of the hardiest of 

 all Clovers, thriving in cold climates, and will grow 

 in moister soil than Red Clover. The plants attain 

 a height of one to two feet; making hay of fine 

 texture. 



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. (See engraving.) Price, 65c. per 

 per lb., $36.00 per bushel of 60 lbs., $55.00 per 100 lbs. 



White Bokhara Clover s ^SKf 



A perennial leguminous plant grown as a forage 

 plant, and often for bees ; the numerous small white 

 flowers possess a sweet, honey-like fragrance. The 

 importance of Bokhara Clover, however, is its value 

 for plowing under for green manuring. Height, 3 

 to 5 feet. Sow 10 lbs. per acre; weight, 60 lbs. per 

 bushel. Price, 40c. per lb.; $20.00 per bushel; $30.00 

 per 100 lbs.
