This clover leafs out very early in the spring. At first 
only basil leaves appear. These leaves are usually very 
large and the individual leafstalks are often more than 
a foot high. In late May the flowering stems appear. 
In our plots they are three feet long at height of bloom 
and each stem has many flower heads at different 
heights. 
The plant blooms in June and July and the bees visit 
the flowers freely. The corolla tubes are short so that 
the nectar is readily available to short-tongued insects. 
It appears to be the equal of any as a honey plant. It 
usually sets seed well and it appears that this plant can

be propagated rapidly by seed as well as roots, once suf- 
ficient acreage is established from which to harvest seed. 
It thrives wonderfully on our grounds.. A well estab- 
lished plant measured strong roots three to four feet long 
and a top spread of three feet. The rate of increase 
from rhizomous roots is very surprising. Rows planted 
3% feet apart in April were growing together in places 
five months later and early the second season the clover 
completely filled the spaces between the rows and the 
ground was heavily bound with roots. From all indica- 
tions it is entirely winter hardy. 
Root divisions of this clover can be planted in either 
fall or spring. In the northern states, early spring plant- 
ing is probably the best. In the south and middle south, 
fall and winter planting may be preferable. 
We offer root divisions which will be well packed for 
shipping. 
Seed is not yet available.

SAINFOIN 
(Onobrychis) 
_Sainfoin is the main source of honey in some Euro- 
pean countries where it is extensively grown as a forage 
crop. It is drowth resistant and will grow on some soils 
where the clovers do poorly. As a honey plant it has 
few equals since the bees visit the flowers freely from 
the time of the first opening until the last have faded. 
Blooms May and June. The honey is of fine quality 
and that most often found in the stores of Paris. 
Seed, per packet 20c, per pound $1.00, postpaid. 
WAGNER FLAT PEA 
(Lathyrus silvestris wagneri) 
This plant is a heavy producer of forage for livestock. 
A deep rooting perennial which starts slowly and_re- 
quires two or three years to become fully established.
