8CARLET CLOVER. (Trifolium In- 



carnatum.) 



We have no hesitation in recommendation that all suitable lands from which crops 

 have been harvested during the Summer and Fall should be sown with Scarlet 

 Clover for plowing under the following Spring. Authorities who have made a 

 careful estimate, state that plowine under a good imp of Scarlet Clover is 

 equivalent to 20 tens of stable mmure per acre, and even if the Clover be harvested 

 or pastured, the benefits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root formation w ill 

 alone many times repay the ccst of seed and labor. It is the cheapest source of 

 ni rogen, and has revolutionized the methods of farming in many parts of the 

 Eastern Slates When sou n in Julv and early in August, it has proved hardy in 

 someseasons as far north as Michigan and Canada, but in the no rth a good plan 

 is to top diess after sowing with some long manure or sowing a sprinkling of Rvc 

 as protection In the 1 titude of New York time of sowing may extend liom 

 July nth, to September 30th and fuither South even later Sow .5 lbs per acre 

 Choice American grown new crop seed thoroughly recleaned and free
