Ladino Clover 
THE GREATEST PASTURE CLOVER GROWN 
LADINO CLOVER WILL PASTURE MORE CATTLE THAN ANY OTHER VA¬ 
RIETY OF CLOVER WE KNOW OF. LADINO IS A PERENNIAL WHITE CLOVER 
THAT GROWS FROM 12 to 18 INCHES TALL PRODUCING A MOST PALATABLE 
FORAGE FOR CATTLE, SHEEP AND HOGS. LADINO INCREASES MILK FLOW, 
IMPROVES THE SOIL, WILL THRIVE ON SHALLOW MOIST SOILS AND IS THE 
FIRST CLOVER TO AWAKEN IN THE SPRING AND THE LAST PLANT TO QUIT 
IN THE FALL. Ladino should be sown in the spring for best results. Prepare the soil 
early and have it in readiness for sowing. Tne application of sulphur or gypsum to the 
soil will quicken the young growth and promote a heavier and sturdier stand. Sow 6 
pounds of seed per acre, harrowing in lightly. It is not necessary to grow a nurse crop 
with Ladino, although many growers plant Rye Grass, Orchard Grass or Fescue with the 
Ladino claiming that it will prevent bloating. We believe this is a good practice. If these 
grasses are sown with the clover it will not prevent threshing the crop for seed as the 
grasses named above can be easily cleaned oat of the Ladino. 
This picture shows a Ladino Clover field in full bearing. 
Note the dense growth. 
MR. C. J. HUNTER LIVING NEAR MEDFORD, OREGON, Says: 
“I planted my field on the 25th of March last spring on ground that had been cleared 
during the winter, using 6 pounds of seed per acre. The seed was inoculated before plant¬ 
ing and sowed with a broadcast seeder. I have 6 acres in the field supporting 21 head 
of dairy cows. Started pasturing the first of August.” 
ANOTHER CUSTOMER SAYS: 
“I planted 6 Y 2 acres the last week in June. The first cutting was made about August 
10th to keep weeds down. September 1st the stand was so thick I could not place my hand 
on a bare spot of ground and the clover stood a foot high. My cattle will leave other 
grasses and clovers for Ladino and will crop it right to the ground. I find Ladino Clover 
the finest forage plant I have ever grown.”
