( Trt/oiiuin pratensePrices on Red Clover, Medium. application. Red Clover, Mammoth or Pea Vine. Grows five to six feet high, with large, coarse stalks, and is largely used for plowing under for manure. Prices vary with the market. Alsike, or Hybrid Clover. [Tri/oliusn hybridiim.) Ev^n clover-sick lands will produce a good crop of this; pe- rennial and very hardy. Its strong, fibrous roots take a strong hold in the ground, and thus do not wash out. It is very valuable, both for pasturage and soiling ; very productive, sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a distinct light pink, and much liked by bees. Sow in Spring or Fall, 6 Ib^ per acre. Per ft) 40 cts. ; per 100 lbs. $ Lucerne or Alfalfa {Mcdkago sativa). Early, productive, succeeds in nearly any good soil, and lasts for a number of years. Valuable for the south, as it thrives on dry, rich, sandy soil, producing 3 to 4 cuttings annually, and even in seasons of severe drouth is always fresh and green, because the roots extend so deep into the soil. It grows two to three feet high, with purple blossoms. It yields an immense amount of green food for cattle, and should be cut when first commencing to bloom, or it can be cut and used as ordinary clover hay. Instead of ex- hausting the land it increases fertility, but does not .suc- ceed on compact clay or in land with impermeable sub- soil. Sow 8 to 10 fl)s. per acre. Per ft) 35 cts. ; per 100 !bs. ^ White Dutch {Tri/olium repens). Thrives best in damp locations, and while not a heavy producer, is valuable in permanent pastures. In connection with Blue Grass it affords the most nutritious food for sheep and cattle. Per ft) 40 cts. Bokhara [MfUloius leucantJta). Affords an abundance of excellent food for bees, throughout the entire season. Per ft) 60 cts
