LADINO CLOVER 
The Wonder Pasture Clover 
It is known as the giant white clover—a perennial lasting from 
four to eight years. It is not a particularly deep rooted plant, 
making its best growth where there is a fairly constant, but not 
excessive moisture supply in the surface and subsurface soil. AS 
is the case with all clovers, largest growth is obtained on fertile 
and deep soils that are well supplied with lime, phosphate, humus 
and moisture, 
It is primarily a pasture plant, and as such produces a heavy 
tonnage of rich succulent feed relished by all kinds of livestock. 
Ladino clover also furnishes hay of excellent quality, being very 
rich in protein, and is consumed readily by all kinds of livestock. 
When used for both pasture and hay, the spring growth is used for 
pasture, early summer growth for hay, and later growth for either 
hay, pasture or seed, 
When seeded for pasture, Ladino White Clover fits in exception- 
ally well with other grasses as companion plants. The most com- 
monly used mixture is 2 to 3 lbs.. Ladino Clover with 12 to 14 lbs. 
of Orchard Grass per acre. The smaller quantities indicated above 
per acre are highly recommended by leading dairymen and experi- 
mental stations. Heavy acreages were planted late last summer 
and early fall with the finest reports being received of the remark- 
able results obtained. Other commonly used mixtures are 3 Ibs. 
Ladino, 3 Ibs. Perennial Rye Grass, 4 lbs. Red Top,and 3 lbs. Orchard 
Grass per acre. When seeded alone use 5 to 6 lbs, per acre. Adapta- 
ble to all Southern and Eastern States.

U. S. RED CLOVER Adapted to the Piedmont and moun- 
5 tain sections of Virginia, North Caro- 
lina and northern states. Red Clover is the ideal biennial legume 
for crop rotations, furnishes an abundance of highly nutritious 
hay or pasture and adds nitrogen and humus to the soil. Cut it 
just before full bloom for best quality hay and the largest amount 
of leaves and nutrients. This lets the second crop get an earlier 
start and larger yield. Does well on any well drained, limed and 
fertilized soil. Inoculate and broadcast on small’ grain from Feb- 
ruary to April or in August; 12 Ibs. per acre alone, or 8 lbs. in grass 
mixtures. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER ‘°ce¢ is identical to red clov- 
: er, growth is similar, but 
larger, is longer lived, and matures hay two weeks later, at the 
Same time as timothy. Makes one cutting a year. Cut in early 
bloom state. Superior for pasture or soil improvement. Seeding 
rate and culture same as red clover. For hay on strong loam or 
clay soils use 8 lbs. sapling, 10 lbs. timothy, and 5 lbs. red top. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 5ow 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. Culture same 
; as Red Clover; but has more leaves, grows 
thicker, has finer stems, makes better quality hay and more and 
better grazing. Grows on soils too acid, poor or wet for other 
clover, is hardier, hay contains a higher per cent of digestible pro- 
tein, stands longer uncut without deterioration, and is adapted toa 
wider variety of soils. Succeeds on light uplands, loam, clay or wet 
bottoms. Sow it where other clovers fail. An ideal substitute for 
white clover in pasture mixtures, makes a thick undergrowth, 
greatly increasing the yield, is highly nutritious and paltable. Use 
it in every permanent pasture or hay mixture. 
ALYCE CLOVER 
A Fine Hay Producer 
ADAPTABILITY—Alyce Clover is particularly well suited to 
the Gulf states, thriving unusually well on sandy loam soil. Satis- 
factory stands have also been obtained in the eastern Carolinas 
and occasionally eastern Virginia, It is not recommended for other 
localities, 
SEEDING TIME—Alyce Clover is strictly a warm weather plant 
and rather slow in germinating, and in the far southern Gulf 
States can be planted during April and farther north during May 
and June. A good seed bed is important, discing and harrowing 
to eliminate as many weeds as possible before planting. The crop 
requires ample moisture for reasonably quick germination, and 
where weeds get ahead of the crop they should be cut off with a 
mower blade just above the clover. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre, 
broadcast, and give the seed a light covering. 
FERTILIZATION—We recommend for large growth an appli- 
cation of 200 to 300 pounds of superphosphate and 50 to 100 pounds 
muriate of potash per acre. ; 
Timely Advice on When to Cut for Hay 
1. Red clover, when in about one-half bloom. 
2. Timothy, when the top quarter of the heads are in flower. 
3. Alfalfa (first crop), when in one-fourth bloom or when 
the plants first show a change in color as evidenced by 
a slight yellowish cast. 
4. Alfalfa (second crop), when in full bloom. 
5. Alfalfa (third crop), about 30 to 40 days before the usual 
date for the first killing frost in the fall. 
. Ladino clover, when in full bloom. 
Soybeans, when seeds start forming in the lower pods. 
Sudan grass, before full bloom. 
. Annual lespedeza, when the first blooms appear or slight- 
ly earlier. 
oaoAD 
10. Lespedeza Sericea, when the plants reach 12 inches in 
height. 
11. Sweet clover, when the first blooms appear. 
12. Small grains, when seeds are in the milk stage.
