Clover 
Current prices on application 
Alsike or Hybrid Clover. (Trifolium Hybridum). 
Even poorly drained lands will produce a good crop 
of Alsike; perennial and very hardy. It is very valu- 
able both for pasturing and soiling; very productive, 
sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a distinct light 
pink, and much liked by bees.

folium Incarnatum). An annual, valuable as a cover 
crop, soil improver or for fodder; attains a height of 
eighteen inches with pointed bright crimson blossoms. 
It is not reliably hardy north of Philadelphia. 
White Dutch Clover. Used largely in lawns and 
pasture mixtures. The White Dutch is smaller and 
less vegetable than Ladino which is superior for 
pasture; while the Wild White Clover is smaller and 
more leafy, therefore preferred in lawn mixtures. Lb., 
$1.40; 5 Ibs., $6.75. 
Wild White Clover. A low growing type, more 
leafy with less blossoms than common White Clover. 
Very hardy and preferred for lawns and in some

that has spread rapidly in use for pasture and hay

nutritious value. Grows 12 to 18 inches high and thrives 
throughout the Northeast. Should be sown with other 
clovers or grasses at rate of one or two pounds per

able range of adaptability, growing on soil varying 
from sandy to heavy clay, provided there is good 
drainage, fair fertility and a supply of lime, as it will 
not grow on acid soils. The feeding value of Alfalfa 
is unexcelled. Sow 18 lbs. per acre alone or 4 to 8 lbs. 
in mixtures. Inoculation of seed is recommended.
