The Great Clover of the Pacific Coast. Over the Pacific routes to California and on the great ranches of the West the only variety of Clover that is grown is the Alfalfa, where it is cul- tivated to a greater extent than the Eed Clover is in the Middle States; vast fields of it are always in sight as far as the eye can reach, it furnishes fine pasture and hay for both horses and cattle; it is a perennial plant, and when once properly seeded in a suitable soil, will produce fine crops for several years. It has a remarkably strong growth, occasioned by its roots penetrating the ground to a great depth, until they are altogether out of reach of drought; and in the very driest and most sultry weather, when every blade of grass droops for want of moisture, Lucerne appears in luxuriant growth; and for this leason it is very desirable for all tropical countries. Its cultivation is simple, requiring no more care and attention than a crop of the ordinary red clover, excepting the first year in preparing the soil and seeding. Sow 15 lbs. per acre.
