History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
grow in the open air, but requires the protection of a frame to produce abundant crops of roots, which are 
used like those of the potatoe in the countries where it is a native. {Pursh. Amer. t. 22.) 
1598. Melilotus. From Mel, honey, and Lotus. These plants are similar to the Lotus, and are the 
favorite resort of bees. M. officinalis is the chief ingredient in flavoring the Gruyere cheese. This cheese 
no doubt owes its chief excellence to the mixture of herbs in the mountain pasturage which surrounds the 
valley of Gruyere, but partly also to the flowers and seeds of this plant, which are bruised and mixed with the 
curd before it is pressed. 
1599. Lupinaster. That is to say. Lupine-like. A pretty little herbaceous plant, with bright flowers. 
1600. Trifolium. A plant with three leaves ; the r^npuXXov, of the Greeks, t7-ejle, of the French, and 
trefoil, of the English. This genus includes the two most valuable herbage plants adopted in European 
agriculture, the white and red clover. Notwithstanding all that has been said of the superiority of lucern to 
clover, and of the excellence of saint-foin, and various Leguminosas of the pea kind, yet the red clover for 
mowing, and the white species for pasturage, are, and probably ever will be, found to excel all other plants in 
these respects. The yellow clover, T. procumbens, and the cow or meadow clover, T. medium, are also in 
cultivation, but are far inferior to the others. The meadow clover is a useful addition to the white sort in 
laying down permament pastures j the yellow grows on poor soils, but the herbage is not much liked by cattle. 
The soil best adapted for clover is a deep sandy loam, which is favorable to its long tap-roots : but it will grow 
in any soil, provided it be dry. So congenial is calcareous matter to clovers, that the mere strewing of lime on
