LADINO CLOVER. This is regarded as a giant form of the common 
White Dutch Clover, and like the latter is a long-lived perennial. Its 
growth, however, is more luxuriant. Makes excellent hay, yet roots are 
shallow enough to permit plowing up when desired. Needs moisture, 
especially on starting, but succeeds on soils too moist for alfalfa. Best 
sown mixed with other grasses or clover, about 2 to 3 pounds per acre.
