MAMMOTH RED CLOVER— Trifolium pra- tense.—Similar to Red Clover, but coarser and taller, and considered of more value for reclaiming and enriching waste lands, as it sustains itself, and suc- ceeds sometimes when Red Clover fails. Sow from twelve to fifteen pounds per acre, in time to get the benefit of ample moisture. CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER— Trifolium Incarnatum.—-This is a newer variety of Trifolium, highly commended for pasture, hay, and fertilizing purposes. It is a thrifty annual, growing from twenty* to thirty inches high, and has a beautiful crimson bloom of from two to three inches in length. It germi- nates quickly, grows rapidly, and stools abundantly. It is said to be of so rank a growth that it will make a heavy crop on land too poor to give common clover a decent stand. In California and the Southern States it should be sown in the early fall, pastured in the winter, and cut for hay the following May. After working the ground thoroughly to a good depth, sow from twelve to fifteen pounds to the acre, and harrow in with a light harrow. Cut for hay when in full bloom. WHITE DUTCH CLOVER— Trifolium repens.— A small variety, having a white blossom. It is of a vining nature, spreading rapidly, and will soon cover bare spots if the stand be uneven. It does not attain sufficient height to be profitable for hay, but is supe- rior for pasture, either for cattle or sheep, and unsur- passed for the production of honey. It also makes a beautiful lawn, mixed with Blue Grass. When sown alone, use eight to ten pounds per acre. Harrow the soil until it is very fine before White Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced
