WHITE CLOVER The White Clover is the low Clover that creeps over the lawns, that comes up in the flower-beds, that makes close, thick patches by the roadsides, and in climates too warm for grass is often used as a dooryard cover. It was long believed to be an immigrant from Europe but is now considered one of the few species whose habitat is world- wide, a native of Europe, Asia, and America. The plant is a low, creeping perennial that makes its way by ruimers that rot)t along the sur- face of the ground. This root- ing stem sends up leaves upon long petioles, and also slender flower-stems, each of which bears one flower-head of while florets. These florets are fragrant, full of nectar which can be reached by the honey-bee, and White Clover honey is one of the choic- est brands in the market. The heads are never pretty because the lower florets open first and are successively reflexed, so that during the flowering period the heads appear horizontally diviHcd between the withering and the opening florets. The leaf of the White Clover may well challenge attention because of the interesting ami independent way that the leaflets behave when night comes on.
