Should be sown in the fall of the year, or January and February; eight to ten pounds per acre. It is stated that it does much better in heavy than in sandy soil. Crimson Clover. Trifolium Incarna- tum. Crimson Clover, an annual, variety, which is a native of a warm climate, has not been grown as extensively as it de- serves to be. It has been highly praised up as a forage plant, said to be equally as good for pastur- age as well as for mowing and to do better in poor worn out soil than any other vari- ety. It certainly has attracted a great deal of attention in the South during the past three or four years, and the Experiment Stations of Louisiana and other Southern States speak highly of it, but its true merits are still in doubt. Crimson Clever has been grown for years in the South of France and Germany, with what success is not known, but it is claimed that owing to its quick growth it is prefera- ble to other varieties. As a forage plant it may be mowed twice and then piowed under, thereby acting as a fertilizer and renovating the exhausted soil. In the Southern States Crimson Clover should be sown in the months of October and ^November. However, it may be sown with good results as late as January or Feb- ruary and will produce a fine crop. The demand for this variety of Clover has in- creased considerably since a few years. From 8 to 10 pounds should be sown per acre. Alfalfa or L
