It is adapted to much the same types of soil as red clover, although it is able to grow on soils too wet for the latter to thrive. Another way in which it differs from red clover is its ability to withstand a slightly acid condition of the soil. It is therefore better adapted than red clover to sections of the country having wet or acid soils. In many parts of the clover-growing region, the soils have become so deficient in lime that red clover
