wet lands. When mixed with Red Top or Timothy, makes 
an excellent hay. We have a stock of extra select lots on

‘for hay. ; 
Ladino Clover 
Ladino is a tall-growing variety of white clover which 
has proven its great worth as a pasture clover. Here in 
Idaho it has yielded twice as much pasture as Blue Grass 
and grows tall enough to cut for hay. The clover that the 
dairyman has been looking for. 
White Clover, Small Dutch 
- White Clover is especially valuable when mixed with 
Kentucky Blue Grass for either lawns or pastures. 
Sweet Clover, White Blossom 
Sweet Clover is rapidly coming into more popular use as 
its good qualities are becoming better known. The features 
that make Sweet Clover so valuable are its ability to thrive 
and produce good hay or a good pasture on poor soil, at 
the same time improve the soil on which it is growing. 
It is being used more and more through this section of 
the country for pastures, and the use will be more general 
when its ability to withstand drouth and to produce good 
green feed through the hot summer months is better 
known. 
Almost every farm has a piece of land that is hard to 
farm, or the soil is too poor to raise a grain crop, that if 
seeded to Sweet Clover would produce a large amount of 
valuable feed, and at the same time build up the soil. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover is the popular and standard 
variety. It is a biennial, growing from 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover 
This variety of Sweet Clover is about two weeks earlier 
than the White Blossom and does not grow as tall or 
coarse.
