 Crimson or Scarlet Clover. (See cut). It can be seeded at any time from 

 June to October, at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per acre, and makes the earli- 

 est possible spring pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for 

 feeding as hay should be cut just before coming into full bloom. It is an ex- 

 cellent crop for turning under as a fertilizer, furnishing nitrogen, which it 

 gathers from the air and stores in the plant or root. Sow Crimson Clover at 

 the last working of all crops like Beans, Corn, Melons, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, 

 and other crops whenever the land is not intended for such early spring crops 

 as would not be benefited by following such a seeding, although it would pay 

 to seed for only fall and winter months if only for protecting the ground 

 through the winter and catching and holding the fertility of the soil, which 

 would otherwise be lost by leaching or other causes. We offer the finest qual- 

 ity recleaned seed at 12 cts. per lb. (20 cts. per lb. by mail). For larger quan- 

 tities write for sample and price.
