Beautiful State Certified Seed 
Heavy Yielding Giant White Clover 
You may have read about this wonderful clover in your 
Farm or Poultry magazines. They have been. talking about 
its splendid yields, high nutritive value and big profit fea- 
tures. You will be hearing more and more about this great 
legume for additional experiments are continually showing it 
has wider-adaptability of soils and climate ‘than originally 
estimated. 
It is a rapidly growing perennial legume that grows two to 
four times as large as common white clover 'and about six 
times as big as the English wild white clover. It has creep- 
ing fleshy stems that root at the nodes and joints. It covers 
the ground thoroughly and grows profusely. Reports from 
Pennsylvania show that Ladino runs close to 30% protein on 
a dry basis where’ they recommend it highly for poultry range. 
Up to 30 Tons per Acre 
This same report showed that Ladino poultry range yielded 
as high as 30 to 40 tons of green feed per acre. This was 
Dased on small enclosures of wire placed throughout the field 
and clipping and weighing the growth every two or three 
weeks. An eight acre Ladino range carried 2500 to 3000 
head of poultry from late April to late October. On a dry 
basis the yield was calculated of 5.4 tons per acre, 
Adaptability 
It was originally recommended especially for the northeast- 
ern U. §. Reports from other states show it is highly re- 
garded over a wide area. Michigan says it has not equalled 
Alfalfa in yield but that it can be used for hay, silage or 
pasture, especially the latter. Kentucky says it outyields or- 
dinary white clover in that state. Oklahoma reports that on 
the basis of recent tests they consider it will have a place in 
their pasture program. 
In a general way it can be said that it does its best on 
fertile soils and responds well to fertilizer on poor land, espe- 
cially phosphorus. Will stand quite a lot of drought and wet 
although not extremes of either. 
Seeding Suggestions 
Spring seedings are most general although fall seedings are 
not uncommon. It is very important that the seed bed be 
firm. Rolling very desirable. Ladino is widely used with 
other grasses. Two pounds of Ladino with 6 lbs. of Tim- 
othy is a good combination. Less Ladino may be used. For 
a straight seeding of clover only as much as 3 pounds per 
acre is suggested. The seed is very small and a little goes a 
long ways. Another good mixture for cattle or poultry pas- 
ture is 3 Ibs. red, 2 lbs. alsike, 1% lbs. Ladino with 4 Ibs. 
of timothy or orchard grass. Rye Grass, Red Top and Blue 
Grass are also suggested to use in combination with Ladino. 
While high in price this clover justifies its place on your 
farm because of its great value. Be sure to use some by 
itself or in mixtures even if only % lb. per acre in mixture 
for it is a clover you should know better for greater profit. 
Price not prepaid: 10 Ibs., $25.00; 30 Ibs., $72.50. Post- 
paid: 1 lb., $2.75; 5 lbs., $13.25; 10 Ibs., $26.00.
