It is rather shallow rooted, hence adapted to clay or hardpan soils which hold moisture, 
and to soils in which alfalfa does not thrive because of the presence of sod-forming weeds or disease. 
Ladino clover is high in feeding value, as a large part of the plant consists of nutritive leaves. 
The spring 
growth is so succulent that it is well to combine the sowing with domestic ryegrass and Dallis grass, or any other 
non-bunching pasture grass suited to your locality. In combination sowings Ladino clover should be sown separ- 
ately or in the same quantity as if sown alone, but the grasses used in combination should be in lesser quantity, 
particularly ryegrass. 
The soil should be carefully prepared to a very firm condition. Sowings may be made in the fall or spring 
or any month of the year if sufficient moisture is available.

GPOVERS 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER (Trifolium hybridum)— 
A hardy perennial clover, best suited to colder regions 
including higher altitudes. Requires fairly moist con- 
ditions. Makes good hay or pasture, and is particularly 
suited to planting with other clovers or pasture 
grasses. Sow 8 to 15 pounds per acre. (Lb. 40c) 
(10 Ibs. $3.35) postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
BUR CLOVER (Medicago denticulata)—Valuable for 
cover crop purposes because of its nitrogen gathering 
qualities. own in the fall, it thrives even in poor 
soil with but little moisture, after becoming estab- 
lished. Sow 15 pounds per acre. (Lb. 30c) (10 Ibs. $2.25) 
postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
HUBAM CLOVER (Melilotus alba var. annua)—This is 
the annual form of sweet clover. Rapid growing, it 
produces quick pasture and an excellent cover crop 
when planted in the early spring. Valuable as bee 
food, as it blossoms soon after sowing. Sow 12 pounds 
per acre. (Lb. 35c) (10 Ibs. $2.65) postpaid. ‘Write for 
quantity prices. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense)—Hardy, and one of 
the most important clovers. Grows well in any well 
drained soil. A fine pasture crop, and may be com-

but will stand drier climates if given plenty of irri- 
gation. Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. (Lb. $1.05) 
(10 Ibs. $9.35) postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
SOUR CLOVER, YELLOW BLOSSOM (Melilotus indica)
