and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
some soils will call into action clover-seeds, which it would appear have lain dormant for ages. At least this 
appears the most obvious way of accounting for the well-known appearance of white clover in such cases. 
The climate most suitable for the clovers, as of most plants natives of Europe, is one neither very hot nor 
very dry and cold. Most leguminous plants delight both in a dry soil and climate, and warm temperature ; and 
the clover will be found to produce most seed under such circumstances ; but as the production of seed is only 
in some situations an object of the farmer's attention, a season rather moist, provided it be warm, is always 
attended by the most bulky crops of clover herbage, 
Tlie time of sowing seeds is generally the spring, during the corn-seed time, or from February to May ; but 
they may also be sown from August to October ; and when they are sown by themselves, that is, unaccom- 
panied by any corn crop, this will be found the best season, as the young plants are less liable to be dried up 
and impeded in their progress by the sun, than when sown alone in spring, and remaining tender and unshaded 
during the iiot and dry weather of July. 
The manner of sowing is almost always broad-cast. When sown with spring corn, clover and grass-seeds 
are usually put in immediately after the land has been pulverized by harrowing in the corn-seed, and are 
themselves covered by one course more of the harrows ; or, if the corn is drilled, the small seeds are sown 
immediately before or after hand-hoeing ; and the land is then finished by a course of the harrows. 
In the operation of sowing, some consider it best to sow the clover and rye-grass separately, alleging that 
that the weight of the one seed and lightness of the other, are unfavorable to an equal distribution of both.
