ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER. ALSIKE, SWEDISH, or HYBRID CLOVER. The hardiest of all; sometimes culled Giant White Clover. It is a perennial, therefore adapted for permanent pastures or for hay crop. Never heaves or throws in the winter, thrives equally well on wet or dry soil, through extreme droughts or excessive rains. Grows on clover-sick land and yields a heavy bulk of herbage where no other clover succeeds. Its superior pasturage is much liked by cattle. Blossom heads round, flesh-colored,sweet and fragrant, much liked by bees. Sow six pounds per acre in spring or fall. Lb., 25c; lOlbs., $ ; 25 lbs , ; bush., 60 lbs., $ LUCERNE, or ALFALFA CLOVER. A perennial forage plant, and when once properly seeded in suitable soil, will produce tine crops for several years. It has a remark- ably strong growth, roots penetrating the ground to a great depth—ten to twenty feet—until they are altogether out of reach of drought. Sow twelve pounds to the acre. Lb.,25c; 10 lbs.,$; bush., 60 lbs.,$ (Price varies with the market.) CRIMSON, or SCARLET CLOVER. A most valuable crop is this annual clover. As an improver of the soil, or for an early summer forage or hay crop, it is first-class. As a green manuring crop for grain, fruit or trucking crops, it gives the very best results, while for improving poor land it has few equals. It succeeds on every kind of soil, standing Southern suns and Northern winters, and is now grown largely in Del- aware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia
