A valuable legume crop for Summer and early Fall sow¬ 
ing. Unsurpassed for green manure. Also useful as a cover 
crop, for pasture, soiling, and hay. Will grow on poorer 
land than Red Clover, and add much fertility to the soil. 
Gathers great nodules of nitrogen-fixing bacteria at its roots. 
Best suited for sections south of Pennsylvania, but can 
be used successfully in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. 
Seeded from June 15th to late August. Not sown in the 
Spring. Matures in June. Often broadcast in corn fields 
at last cultivation. Should be put in carefully prepared 
ground after Spring crops are removed. Sow 20 pounds 
per acre. Be sure to inoculate the seed. See page 10. 
Crimson will make only a moderate growth in the Fall, 
but comes up quickly in the Spring and matures early. . . . 
Crimson is not as hardy as some plants, therefore must be 
handled with more care and patience. Most failures with 
Crimson are due to not covering the seed properly, thin 
sowing, poor seed, lack of inoculation. In a careful farm¬ 
er’s hands Crimson Clover can be made a source of good 
profit on many a farm. 
“Over 494 tons of clover hay per acre from 
Hoffman’s Extra Quality Red Clover and Alsike,” says 
Al. C. Demmy, Harrisburg, Pa.
