692 ALSIKlfl CLOVER 
Alsike, or Swedish Clover 
in fact, it is the hardiest of all clovers; it does not heave out of t^^t giound 
n Winter and the severest cold does not injure it and it resists the extremes 
of drou-ht and wet. It is the only clover that will thrive on moist ■»». but 
U wm 7u.so grow fairly well in stiff clays. It is mosty grown m bottom 
lands ond quite often mixed with Timothy; these varieties seem to be well 
adapted for this soil and ripen at the same time. 
ilsike is a hybrid of the Red and White Clover. It grows 2 to 3 feet 
hi»h Tlie stems are thinner than those of Red Clover, and the leaves are 
more numerous, making a hay of finest texture, which is eaten without waste 
by stxick: the feeding value of the hay equals that of Alfalfa. The jneld of 
Alsike hay is fully as large as that of Medium Red Clover. ^

696 White Dutch Clover 
A low close-growing Clover; round, white heads; very fragr;int: 
best adapted to moist soils, but does well on dry land; excellent as 
an addition to mixtures for permanent meadows and pastures. For 
lawns It is also splendidly adapted; indeed, no lawn is considered 
"quite right" unless it contains a good sprinkling of this sweet, 
pure, white-blooming, low growing "soft as velvet," hardy White 
butch Clover. As a bee plant it is famous the world over, and there 
is no other plant which furnishes better and more honey. \(- lb.,
