SEEDS 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER 
Sow it for a year-round pasture. U.S. De- 
partment of Agriculture says: ‘‘Ladino is the 
largest growing form of White Clover. It is 
similar to White Dutch but grows about twice 
as large. Introduced from South Europe. 
Many farmers cut it for hay in the summer 
and graze it the rest of the year.”’ 
It is a long-Itved perennial. Its taproot 
goes down 1 to 3 feet. The stems run on the 
ground, taking root. One plant covers 2 feet. 
A sparse stand soon thickens mto a dense, 
even growth. The only parts available to 
grazing are the highly nutritious leaves and 
flowers which rise 12 to 20 inches in great pro- 
fusion from the numerous jomts. 
It grows on any soil, even shallow hardpan, 
but does best on loam or clay where moisture 
is plentiful. The seed is so small it requires a 
firm hard seedbed, planted shallow and 
covered very lightly. Our seed is scarified, 
germinates over 90 per cent, requiring one- 
half as much per acre. Inoculate and sow in 
spring or fall, 5 pounds per acre alone, or 3 
pounds in mixtures. Don’t pasture until 
plants spread and start sending up shoots 
from the joints. Lb. $3.00; 10 Ibs. $27.50. 
Wild White Clover. This Clover is suited 
for soils below the fertility standard and 
provides a most effective and economical 
source of nitrogen. It is perfectly hardy. 
Sow from 1 to 3 pounds per acre in mixture, 
preferably in the early spring. Mlb. 75c.; 
Ib. $2.75; 5 Ibs. $12.50; 10 Ibs. $23.50. 
Yellow Trefoil (Medicago lupulina). Also 
known as Yellow Clover. Recommended 
for use In permanent pastures because of 
its ability to furnish pasture during the 
spring months. Lb. 60c.
