grasses as it forms a thick bottom and greatly 
increases the yield of hay; cattle prefer it to any 
other forage. The heads are globular, fragrant 
and m-uch liked by bees, which obtain a large 
imount of honey from them. Sow in spring or

and highly valued for its 
enormous yield and for reclaiming exhausted land. For 
hog pasture and as a hog fattener it has no equal, and is 
far superior to the Common Red or June Clover. Where 
jjermanent hog pastures are wanted this variety has 
given the best results, as it is permanent, and does 
not freeze out as easily as the Common Red Clover, and 
is therefore better adapted for fall sowing. It will make 
very large crops of hay. yielding from 3 to 4 tons per acre.
