RED CLOVER. 
(Trt folium Pratense Perenne .) 
Note the reddish purple head , made up of numerous small flowers j the downy surface of the plant j snd the 
whitish horseshoe-shaped mark on each of the three leaflets which make up the leaf. The pod , or seed-vessel, shown 
at the left, is quite unlike the pods of other leguminous species. It is really a little box, the upper part being a 
smooth shining lid or cap, and the lower half containing a single seed , of colour ranging from dark purple to light 
yellow. This plant occurs in all ordinary meadows and pastures. It is largely used in mixtures of “seeds,” intended to 
remain down for one, two, or more years ; and it is also sown alone, and either folded with sheep or mown for hay. 
Seed Tested for Purity and Germination. Price from 9d. to Is. Id. per lb. Special Prices for Quantities. See also page 17.
