CLOVER 
Lago Brand Ladino — A Pioneer in the Sacramento Valley 
EVERGREEN PASTURES 
Ladino Clover is gradually turning the 
great central valleys into a paradise of 
wealth. 
Shallow hard-pan soils which in some 
sections were formerly considered of little 
value are now considered ideal for the 
growing of Ladino Clover. Returns from 
the planting of Ladino are manyfold. 
Ladino not only increases the value of 
these low-priced lands but the returns are 
most exceptional. Ladino carries more 
stock per acre than any other pasture 
crop. It furnishes the quickest and most 
economical green pasturage for the fatten¬ 
ing of sheep. Other livestock are very 
fond of Ladino and prefer it to any other 
feed. There is no other crop that offers 
such remunerative returns as Ladino. It 
is gradually building up for the great 
central valley a great livestock industry— 
by furnishing feed to many classes of 
livestock. 
The first cost of planting Ladino Clover 
is the largest cost and as a stand of 
Ladino will last for many years it is 
important to sow only the genuine Ladino 
Clover. Lago Brand Ladino is the gen¬ 
uine. Strong growth, large leaves, tall 
lush growth. Lago Brand Ladino is a 
pioneer in the Sacramento and San Joaquin 
valley. Sow 5 to 6 lbs. per acre.

available. It is also adaptable for growth 
in swampy lands and supplies thick mat¬ 
ted roots that will support cattle on soft 
ground. It is a vigorous grower and will
