It makes good hay, good pasturage and is a good honey plant, especially for Italian bees. It will thrive on land too wet for red clover. Crimson Cloyer. With the possible exception of Japan clover, there is no clover that will succeed on a wider territory in North Carolina than crimson clover will.

It is also known as Annual Clover, German Clover, Scarlet Clover, and possibly some other names. Interest is increasing in this crop in every section of the State. The indications are that there will be several thousand more aeres in crimson clover in this State this year than was ever grown before.
