FORAGE CROPS 5 
bees. It appears to be the equal of any as a honey 
plant. It can also be propagated by seed. 
Reports indicate that this clover varies greatly in 
behavior in different localities and does not do nearly 
so well in all situations. Due to some apparent limi- 
tations in adaptation, it remains in the experimental 
£ Zi BS 
Pellett Clover in bloom 
stage. We offer it as an interesting plant for trial and 
one which may become very useful if some difficulties 
in adaptation can be overcome. 
Ask us for the reprint, “That New Clover.” 
Root divisions of this clover transplant readily dur- 
ing dormant season, late fall or early spring. In the 
north, fall planting should be mulched. For best re- 
sults, spring planting should be as early as can be 
done. 
Seed is not available. 
Strong root divisions, well packed for shipping: 25 
for $2.00, 100 for $5.00, 250 for $10.00, 500 for $18.00, 
postpaid. Per 1000, $30.00, not prepaid. Shipping sea- 
son, late fall and spring up to May 10. 
SAINFOIN 
(Onobrychis) 
Sainfoin is the main source of honey in some Euro- 
pean countries where it is extensively grown as a for- 
age crop. It is drowth resistant and will grow in some 
situations where clovers do poorly. As a honey plant 
it has few equals, since the bees visit the flowers freely 
from the time of first opening until the last have faded. 
It is a pretty sight when in bloom. It blooms in May 
> and June. Honey from it is of fine quality. 
Seed, per packet, 15c; per pound, $2.25; postpaid. 
WAGNER FLAT PEA 
(Lathyrus silvestris wagneri) 
For those who will give it the necessary attention to - 
get it established, Wagner Pea apparently offers a long 
time heavy yield of forage. Once established, it is re- 
ported to succeed on poor soil, stand much dry weather 
and to last for a lifetime. In Washington state some 
old stands are reported which are 40 or more years old.
