It yields enormously, and can be cut several times in a season; is very nutritious, and is good for either green food, pasturing or cured for hay. It is valuable for sowing with other grasses and clovers, as it forms a thick bottom, and increases the yield of hay. Alsike Clover frequently produces heavy crops on soils on which Bed Clover will not grow. We strongly advise farmers to add 2 or 3 lbs. per acre to their usual seeding of Bed Clover with Timothy. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre ; weight, 60 lbs. per bushel. (See cut.) 25c. lb., $ bushel, $ per 100 lbs. WHITE CLOVER. (Dutch or Honeysuckle Clover.) Botanical, Trifolium repens. German, Weissklee. French, Trefle blanc. Perennial. Time of flowering, May to September. Height, 6 inches (creeping). A very hai'dy creeping variety, which accommodates itself to a great variety of soils, but grows most luxuriantly in moist ground or in wet seasons. It is valuable in mixtures for permanent pastures and lawns, and also prevents the soils from being washed by heavy rains. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre ; weight, per bushel, 60 lbs.

Is not a true Clover, but in appearance and habit of growth is much like White Clover. It is especially valu- able in the Southern States, where it will flourish on poor and exhausted soils, too poor to produce profitable crops of any other forage plant. It is an annual, but once sown it reseeds itself from year to year, and in that way will last
