Red Clover. — Succeeds on any soil of moderate fertility; may 
be sown in the Fall or early in the Spring, on the snow just before its 
disappearance, by which the seed is distributed with regularity and 
carried down into the crevices of the soil. From six to ten pounds 
of good seed is required for an acre, more being necessary on old or stiff 
soils, than on new and lighter ones. 
White Dutch Clover. — An excellent pasture grass, forming, in 
conjunction with Blue Grass, the finest and most nutritious food for 
sheep and cows. It succeeds on all rich, clay lands, if not too wet. 
Sow from five to eight pounds per acre. 
Alsike, or Swedish.— This valuable variety is comparatively 
new, but is fast gaining great popularity. It is the most hardy of all 
the varieties, perennial, and absolutely refuses to winter-kill ; is alike 
capable of resisting the extremes of drought and wet. The roots are 
fibrous and'heads globular, resembling more the White than the Red 
Clover, except in size and may be described as a giant White Clover, 
with flesh-colored heads. It affords a large return in hay, is excellent 
for soiling, and for bees, is unsurpassed. Is also especially adapted for 
sowing on lands that are considered clover sick. Sow in the Spring or 
Fall, at the rate of five to eight pounds per acre. 
liUCerne. — This variety is of French origin, and is used mostly for 
soiling purposes, Sow ten pounds per acre in the Spring. 
Sweet Vernal Grass. — An invaluable adjunct for lawns. 
Mixed with Blue Grass and White Cbver, it presents a beautiful appear- 
ance, and when in blossom, exhales a delightful fragrance. Should 
form a part of the mixed grasses in every lawn and door-yard. 
Extra Clean Blue Grass.— The best pasture grass for our 
soil and climate, succeeding finely on our hill lands, and producing the 
most nourishing food for cattle, retaining its qualities till a late period 
in winter, and further south, affording abundant food throughout the
