LAD I NO CLOVER 
An Old World Pasturage That Shows the Way to New Profits! 
F. Lagomarsino & 
are proud of the distinc¬ 
tion of having been among 
the first to introduce 
Ladino Clover, the perfect 
pasturage clover for milk 
cows, stock and poultry, 
to California a few years 
ago. An idea of its amaz¬ 
ing success and widespread 
acceptance by growers is 
revealed by that fact that 
today in almost all sec¬ 
tions of California and the 
West it is common to find 
acreages of from 50 to 
1000 acres planted to 
Ladino Clover. In the Oak¬ 
dale section alone there is 
approximately 15,000 acres 
in Ladino Clover. 
Originally an old world clover, imported from Italy, 
it possesses all the qualities that make it ideally 
suited to Cal'fornia climate and soil. One of the 
chief reasons for its steadily growing popularity is 
the way it thrives on low priced land. The sections 
north of Sacramento and elsewhere in California 
where water is abundant present unlimited possibili¬ 
ties for growing Ladino Clover. 
Ladino Clover grows luxuriantly on heavy or adobe 
soils. The only requisite is that it be well irrigated. 
We have been importing Ladino Clover seed from 
Oregon and Idaho as well as from Italy for a num¬ 
ber of years. 
Although we recommend 
both the domestic as well 
as the imported Ladino 
Clover, many of our cus¬ 
tomers prefer the import¬ 
ed Italian Ladino Clover 
because of its strong 
growth and purity of strain. 
Our domestic Ladino is all 
certified. This is of im¬ 
portance for the reason 
that the seed of the reg¬ 
ular white clover as well 
as several other varieties 
of Clover are the same 
in appearance as Ladino 
Clover. The ultimate pro¬ 
duction per acre of genuine 
Ladino Clover as against 
these several other vari¬ 
eties of clover however is 
so much greater that there is no comparison.

some of the thousands of turkeys which Mr. W. Hawes 
feeds on Ladino Clover. 
Mr. W. Hawes, of Oakdale, California, plant¬ 
ed 600 acres of Ladino Clover on his large 
stock and poultry ranch where he runs 
around 10,000 head of sheep at the present 
time and will soon increase it to 15,000 head. 
300 acres of it was planted to Lago Brand 
Imported Ladino and 300 to the Lago Brand 
domestic strain. 
Mr. W. Hawes is more than satisfied with the 
results of Ladino Clover stock pasturage and 
recently has started feeding several thousand 
turkeys on this same fine clover. He reports 
that he had reduced his feed bills substan¬ 
tially by using Ladino Clover as a pasturage 
for his turkeys.
