BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
(Lotus Corniculatus) 
Birdsfoot trefoil is a drought resistant forage crop 
which is fast gaining favor in American agriculture. In- 
dications are that it is adanted 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 become 
familiar with it. It is especially valuable when mixed 
with grasses for a permanent pasture crop. It is a legume 
and long-lived. 
In England it is regarded as a valuable bee plant. 
From Eastern New York and Minnesota come reports of 
good crops of very fine quality honey from it. 
For field culture seed carefully on a firm, well pre- 
pared seedbed; three to five pounds per acre for a full 
stand of trefoil; less if mixed with other grasses for per- 
manent pasture.

PELLETT CLOVER 
(Trifolium ambiguum) 
This very unusual clover spreads rapidly from deep 
rhizomous roots and unlike most clovers increases from 
year to year. So dense does the root system become that 
it holds esvecial promise in soil conservation where a 
heavy root system and permanency are desired. A plot 
of this clover at Pellett Gardens was grown from root di- 
visions set 18 inches avart in rows which are four feet 
apart. The plants spread rapidly and completely filled 
the snaces between, early the second season.
