LADINO CLOVER 
Here is a strain of white clover, well worth 
your attention. Grows tall. Much taller than the 
regular variety. This seed grew in the far north¬ 
west—mostly Idaho, Washington and Oregon. 
Makes quite a growth—hardy—more popular 
right along. Where there is plenty of soil mois¬ 
ture, Ladino is one of the most productive pas¬ 
tures known. Prefers a rich soil, but in poorer 
soils responds nicely to phosphate fertilizer. 
KENT COUNTY WILD WHITE 
This seed came from England. Different from 
all other white clovers. Excellent for grazing 
for beef cattle. Produces extremely thick root sys¬ 
tem, which provides its rare qualities as a pas- - 
ture grass. . . . Used with many of the ordinary 
grasses, helps them produce much better stands. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
This is the variety you’ve always sown. Due 
to scarcity of seed, cost is quite high this year. 
Might be the year to give at least partial trial to 
either of the above strains. As you know, this is 
a spreading variety. Valuable with blue grass, 
because it supplies valuable nitrogen. Has high 
protein value. Stands trampling well. Provides 
nectar for bees. 
CRIMSON (SCARLET) CLOVER 
Valuable legume for soil improvement or as a 
cover crop. Likely to winter-kill in the north. 
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 has been successful in lower Pennsylvania, 
Ohio, and New Jersey. Seeded from June 15th 
to late August. Not sown in the spring. Matures 
in June. Often broadcast in cornfields at last 
cultivation. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Be sure to 
inoculate the seed. 
Most failures with Crimson are due to not 
covering the seed properly, thin sowing, poor 
seed, lack of inoculation. In a careful farmer’s 
hands Crimson Clover is very good. 
“Am very well pleased 
with my Hybrid Corn. It 
stood up well. Large ears, 
not many small ones. Yielded 
very good. Husks much 
easier.” — Tillman Benna , 
Bedford County, Pa.

Experimental results show 
dearly that even if Clover has 
been grown successfully for 
fifteen years and inoculate 
every time it was seeded, 
will be an increase in yi 
much more than pay for 
inoculation. This, of course, 
holds' true for Alfalfa, or any 
other legume.
