CLOVERS 



CRIMSON or SCARLET (Trifolium Incarna- 

 tum). Plowing under a good crop of 

 Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons 

 of stable manure per acre and even if 

 the Clover be harvested or pastured, the 

 benefits derived from the wonderful ni- 

 trogenous root formation will alone many 

 times repay the cost of seed and labor. 

 Crimson Clover cut when coming 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 espe- 

 cially adopted for green forage and silage 

 and is much relished by dairy stock. Cut 

 green before 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 1 5 pounds of seed 

 per acre, either broadcast or drilled. 

 Cover lightly with a harrow. In the lati- 

 tude of New York City sow from July 15 

 to September 15, and in the South as late 

 as October. Time of flowering is June; 

 height 2 feet.

 habit and thrives best during the summer 

 drought months; should be kept under 

 mower during the season. 1 lb. will seed

ROSEN RYE 



Rosen Rye has yielded up to 40 bushels 

 to the acre. The plant is extremely vig- 

 orous, producing a luxurious stiff straw 

 from large stools. On account of its vig- 

 orous stopling habit only one bushel will 

 be required to sow an acre. 

 The grain is extremely attractive, plump, 

 and heavy. 



One of the principal merits of this valu- 

 able grain, is that it thrives equally as 

 well on light soils as it does on heavy 

 soils.
