ALSIKE CLOVER. 
( Trifolium Hybridum .) 
NOTE the pink and white head of flowers, intermediate in appearance between Red or Purple Clover or 
White Clover, but less closely crowded than in either of these. The surface of the plant is smooth and the stems are 
hollow. The fruit is a short pod or legume, as shown with the adherent calyx of the flower at the lower left side 
of the diagram ; it encloses one, two, or three small seeds of dark green colour. Alsike is a free grower on most 
kinds of soils, and is commonly included in mixtures of “ seeds ” for temporary layers. It is practically free from 
Clover sickness. 
Seed Tested for Purity and Germination. Price from Hid. to Is. 3 d. per lb. Special prices for quantities See also page 17.
