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 numus and nitrogen to the 

 soil. 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. 



Price, Henderson's (Domestic Grown) (extra recleaned) 75c. per 

 lb.; $42.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; S65.00 per 100 lbs.

Henderson's 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 separatelv but at the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed 

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

 Sow 10 pounds per acre. 



Mixed Permanent Clovers, Price, 75c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $7.00; 100 

 lbs.. $65.00. 



Henderson's Superior Recleaned 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover f if£) 



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 pounds 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 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. Time of flowering is 

 June; height 2 feet.
