Henderson's Medium Red Clover 



Domestic Grown (Trifolium Pratense) 



Red Clover grows 1 to 2 feet in height and usually makes two crops a 

 year, yielding two to three tons of cured hay per acre. Stock fed on it 

 requires 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 nitrogen to the oil. 

 In Northern States Red Clover seed is usually sown in the spring; the 

 earlier the better. If grown alone, use 12 to 14 lbs. of seed per acre if 

 broadcasted, and cover not over half an inch deep. 



Price. Henderson's (Domestic Grown) (extra recleaned) 65c. per lb 

 $33.00 per bush, of 60 lbs.; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 



(Trifolium 

 Pratense perenne) 



Mammoth Red £»% Clover 



Domestic Grown 



Quite distinct from the common Red Clover. Of very robust growth, 

 yielding enormous bulk, valuable for reclaiming exhausted lands. Per- 

 ennial. Time of flowering, July. Height, 2 to 3 feet. Sow (if alone) 

 about 12 lbs. per acre. Price (Domestic Grown), 70c. per lb ; $36.00 per 

 bush, of 60 lbs. ; $55.00 per 100 lbs. 



Alsike or Hybrid Clover ggg 



Alsike is a perennial and one of the hardiest of all Clovers, thriving in 

 the coldest climates, making hay of fine texture. Height. 1 to 2 feet. 



We advise farmers «o add 2 to 3 lbs. per acre to their usual seeding of 

 Red Clover and Timothy. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price. 65c. per lb. ; $33.00 per bush, of 60 lbs. ; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 



DUt H„n r eysuckle White CloVCr (^r ' r ™ ^ "" '^ 

 A valuable addition to permanent pastures, as it furnishes plant food 



to the other Grasses. Perennial. Time of flowering, May to September. 



Height, 6 inches (creeping). In mixtures for lawns White Clover is 



used to prevent washing out of soil during heavy rains. Sow (if alone i 



8 lbs. per acre. 



Price. 80c. per lb. ; $38.00 per bushel of 60 lbs. ; $60.00 per 100 lbs. 



White Bokhara Clover 



Sweet Clover 



(Melilotus alba) 



Grown as a forage plant, and often for bees; the numerous small white 

 flowers possess a sweet, honey-like fragrance. It is of great value for 

 plowing under for green manuring. Height, 3 to 5 feet. Sow 10 lbs. pet- 

 acre. Price, 40c. per lb.; $18.00 per bush, of 60 lbs. ; $25.00 per 100 lbs 



Mixed Permanent Clovers 



Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the yield 

 of hay and pasture, collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root 

 nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses and are of benefit to subsequent 

 crops. Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, should 

 be sown separately but at the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed 

 Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. 

 Sow 10 lbs. per acre. 



Mixed Permanent Clovers. Price, 65c. per lb.; 10 lbs. $6.00; 

 100 lbs. $50 00. 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover SKSj 



Plowing under a 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 nitrogenous root formation will many times 

 repay the cost of seed and labor. 



Sow at the rate of 15 lbs. of seed per acre, either broadcast or drilled. 

 Cover lightly with a harrow. If sown too early, especially in Southern 

 States, it is apt to mature and form seeds the same season without mak- 

 ing full growth. In the lati- 

 tude of New York City 

 sow from July 15 to Sep- 

 tember 15, and in the 

 South as late as Octo- 

 ber. Time of flower- 

 ing is June ; height, 

 2 feet.
