T\6 WINTER VETCH 
Alsike, or Swedish Clover 
AlKiUe .seems to ije especially adapted for tile Nortliern Stqit^s; it is a 
perennial clover and lives lonser than Medium Red; it is also more hardy; 
in fact, it is the hardiest of all clovers; it does not heave out of the ground 
in Winter and the severest cold docs not injure it and it resists the extremes 
of drought and wet. It is the only clover that will thrive an moist soil, but 
it will also grow fairly well in stiff clays. It is mo.sty grown in bottom 
lands and quite often mixed with Timothy; these varictief seem to be well 
adapted for this soil and ripen at the same time. 
Alsike is a hybrid of the Red and White Clover. It grows 2 to 3 feet 
high. The 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 stock; the feeding value of the hay equals that of Alfalfa. The yield of 
Alsike hay is fully as large as that of Medium Red Clover. 
For hay cut when in full bloom: it can be cured easier than other clover, 
the stems being less coarse. Sow 5 to 8 pounds to the acre. V- lb., 22 cts.; 
lb., 40 cts.! 8 lbs., $1.10, postpaid. See wholesale list for larger ciaantitles.
