This clover is a good soil builder. Makes rather coarse hay. 
Planted in the Spring, it will give a fine growth by Fall 
of the same year. White Blossom is a biennial variety 
(Melilotus alba). It lives for two years and then dies. 
Planted in the Spring or Fall of one year, it will live 
until mid-Summer of the following year. Let it go to seed 
and it will reseed itself and last for years. Used by many 
farmers to prepare the soil for later sowing of alfalfa. 
Yellow-flowering biennial Sweet Clover (Melilotus 
officinalis). It grows 2 to 2^ to 3 feet the first year, 4 to 5 
feet the second year. Does not make as much growth as 
White Blossom, but has finer stems, nearly as fine as alfalfa. 
Therefore preferred for hay or pasture. 
An early dwarf strain of the biennial White Blossom Sweet 
Clover. Matures 2 weeks earlier. Has finer stems. Makes 
finer hay. Grows palatable feed. Not as tall. 
★ 
Use enough lime. Most crops benefit by it. Lime corrects 
acidity, sets free plant food, improves texture of the soil. 
SOILTEX is <quick, easy, accurate. Tells in a few minutes 
if soil is acid, and how much lime it needs. Each outfit, 
$1.00 (postpaid), makes 75 to 100 tests. Full directions 
and lime table included. Costs about 1 cent per test. '
