22 FORAGE CROPS 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER : 
(Trifolium repens) 
White Dutch or pasture clover has long been the 
main dependence for a honey crop over a wide area of 
the Northeastern States. It is an important source of 
nectar in much of the Middlewest. The plant is easily 
naturalized along the roadsides, in pastures and waste 
places. Should be included in any mixture of grasses 
for pasture. 
Seed, per packet, 15c; per pound, $1.50; postpaid. 
LADINO CLOVER 
Ladino is a giant white clover which makes two or 
three times the growth of ordinary white clover where 
it does well. It is proving very popular in many places 
as a pasture and hay plant. It is best adapted to re- 
gions having good moisture conditions and fertile soils. 
Honey from it is very similar to that produced from 
the common white clover. 
The seed is very small. Two pounds per acre well 
distributed on a well prepared seed bed should be suf- 
ficient. 
CERTIFIED seed, packet, 15c; per pound, $2.25; 
postpaid. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER 
(Trifolium fragiferum) is a new clover which is salt- 
tolerant and will grow on some such soils where other 
clovers will not grow. It will usually make its best 
growth on wet or moist soils and will survive periods 
of flooding. Its adaptation to such conditions make it 
very valuable for some wet and saline soils where other 
legumes cannot be grown. Good for pasture and soil 
building in some sections and should be tried elsewhere 
on wet lands. 
Apparently a good honey plant. 
Seed, per packet, 15c, postpaid.

NOTE: We offer sweet clovers and vetch for your 
convenience in securing trial quantities. If you want 
larger quantities you can probably secure them in your 
localities. If not, write us and we will suggest a source 
of supply. 
Sweet clover ranks among the best honey plants in 
this country. Climatically, it is adapted to practically 
all the United States and southern Canada. It will 
thrive on a wide range of soils and is extensively used 
as a forage crop. 
OHIO EVERGREEN SWEET CLOVER 
This variety is of special interest to bee-keepers be- 
cause it blooms over a long period and continues later 
in the season than most other biennial sweet clovers. 
It is reported to have furnished good bee-pasture for 
over three months and some observations of it in our 
gardens indicate likewise. Because of the long bloom- 
ing period the seed does not all ripen at one time and 
is hard to harvest in quantity. This fairly recent devel-
