(A) Alsike or Alsatian Clover {Trifolium hy 
bridum) (European) is quite similar to our native 
white Clover, but the stem is stout, branching and juicy. 
The trifoliate leaves of this species are unmarked and 
have a simple, rounded end, not notched, but the edge 
of the leaf is very finely toothed. The florets compos¬ 
ing the round flower-heads are cream-colored, tinged 
with pink; they are very fragrant and laden with 
nectar. 
(B) White Clover ( T?'ifolium repens) is the most 
common of the white clovers. It is supposed to be in¬ 
digenous in the northern parts of our range. It is 
highly prized as forage for cattle and is often culti¬ 
vated in fields for that purpose. It is also a favorite 
with keepers of bees. 
Its stems are smooth, reclining and 4 to 10 inches 
long. The leaves are eomposed of three leaflets, heart- 
shaped or notched at the ends, and usually with a more 
or less distinct triangular mark in the middle. The 
flowers are creamy white, slightly pinkish and very 
fragrant.
