CLOVER SEED—Continued 
REO CLOVER (Trifolium pretense). One of the best crops 
lor nay and pasture; it is also used sometimes for a soil crop 
and is also valuable when used for hay in maintaining a 
supply of nitrogen in the soil. Red Clover will not succeed 
on poorly drained or boggy soil, but will produce good re¬ 
sults on any soil that will grow Corn. Soils containing 
lime or where lime can be supplied are ideal soils for Red 
Clover. 1 his variety of Clover may be seeded in the early 
k.prmg or in the !• all. If seeded in the Spring, the best time 
lor sowing is when the ground is freezing and thawing and 
in the Autumn about six weeks before frost. The best 
results to be obtained for hay, is to cut when just past full 
bloom, containing at this time the maximum of protein and 
dry matter. Quantity required to seed one care, 15 lbs. 
Lb. 25c., 100 lbs. $22.00. 
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium repens). Sometimes called 
Lawn Clovcr and will succeed almost anywhere in the United 
States, and on almost any character of soil, but a heavy soil 
is best suited for it. W hite Clover may be sown at the 
same time as Red Clover; it is rarely sow T n alone, but usual¬ 
ly used in lawn mixtures and for pasture. A small propor¬ 
tion of this small clover, if used in permanent pasture, 
often fills in bare spots and makes valuable grazing for 
stock. It is often affected by extreme dry w r eather and will 
appear as if killed, but on the return of the rains will reappear 
as .fresh as ever. 8 to 10 lbs. usually sown to the acre. 
Lb. 50c., 100 lbs. $40.00. 
SWEET CLOVER (Mclilotus albus). A native of all parts of 
the United States and Canada and is a valuable addition 
to farm crops in many sections. Sweet Clover will thrive 
on most soils, either poor clay or sandy, but it prefers a 
limestone soil. Where lime is deficient, it should be added, 
and good results will be attained. White Clover, like tho 
other varieties, will respond to inoculation with excellent 
results. White Clover will succeed best if planted alone, 
and should be sown either in the Spring or Fall. It is tho 
most vigorous soil enricher of all the Clovers, and will grow 
on soils that will not support an ordinary farm crop. Quan¬ 
tity usually sown to the acre, 30 lbs. To eradicate Sweet 
Clover, mow it when in full bloom, that it may not re-seed 
itself. Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $30.00.
