If wanted by mail, add 8 cts. per lb. on all Farm Seeds for postage. CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. ( Trifolium incarnatum.) The Great Soil Improver, Early Green Feed, Grazing or for Hay Crop. The Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular bolh as a pasture and hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. It can be seeded at any time from June to October at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per acre, and makes the earliest possible spring pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for feeding as hay should be cut when in full bloom. If sown with Italian Rye Grass or Orchard Grass, which matures at the same time, it yields luxuriant and nutritious crops for pasture. It can be sown after other crops are removed from the ground, such as wheat (when clover has failed to catch), oats, millet, or on any vacant ground. It is a very rank grower, some stools containing as many as 120 to 110 blossoms from one seed. Sow Crimson Clover at the last working of all crops like Beans, Corn, Melons, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and other crops, whenever the land is not in- tended for such early spring crops as would not be benefited by following such a seeding, although it would pay to seed for early fall and winter months if only for protecting the ground through the winter and catching and holding the fertility of the soil, which would otherwise be lost by leaching or other causes. In addition to all this, the plants and roots would prevent washings that occur during winter thaws. The results of plowing under can be plainly seen in crops following Scarlet Clover, viz.: Corn, Potatoes, etc., by the heavy dark green foliage and immense crops.
