BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
(Lotus Corniculatus) 
Birdsfoot trefoil is a very drought resistant for- 
age plant which is new to American agriculture. 
Tests have indicated ‘that it is adapted to a wide 
variety of soils and will succeed under varied 
climatic conditions, It succeeds on some soils 
where alfalfa and the clovers do poorly. The 
acreage is expanding as farmers became familiar 
with it. It is especially valuable when mixed with 
grasses for a pasture crop. 
In England it is regarded as a valuble bee plant 
and beemen in eastern New York report good 
crops of well flavored honey from it. It blooms 
freely in early summer and continues with a light 
bloom until frost. For field culture prepare as for 
clover or alfalfa and seed in either spring or fall.
