A NEW KIND OF CLOVER.
Introduction of an italian Variety of Great
L........ In. --......L ...-

tfuhnlSt INTO ms country
A new kind of clover growing on the
farm Of John Wilson in q Philadelphia
suburb is the object of much local interest.
An account Of it Is thus given 10y the
Times of that city; The seed from which
this unique and beautiful clover is grown
came from the southern part of Italy, and
has hitherto been unknown in this country,
and was planted by Mr.. Wilson as an OK
pertinent The experiment has proved to
be a complete success and it Is anticipated
that the Italian clover will ere long com.
pletely reyoutionize the system Of raising
cloverfelds in this country and that Ital.
IAN clover will become The rage among
clover growers.
The great uecuiarity of this new clover
Is its graceful shape and very rich color.
It is not globular in form ike ordinary
but the Hover is elongated in shape, and
tapers to point something like an ear OF
wheat while the color, when the clover is
at its best, is a deep and brilliant red, and
when the entire field il covered with these
rich-looking flowers the effect is beautiful,
for tine Italian clover grows very close and
the stalks are longer than ordinary clover,
and if the leaves were taken away and
nothing seen but the flower, field of Ital-
ian clover would ook as though it had a
carpet of bright yermilion, In addition
to its far greater beauty, the Italian GLOW
er grows much faster than ordinary clover,
and the great pecuiurity is the fact that
the clover gees to seed at the first planting,
while the clover now in use does not run
to seed until the second crop. The new
clover grows with sucn rapidity that Mr.
Wilson was surprised after first planting
the seed to see small field of beautiful
clover so soon afterwards
The raising of the new cover 10y Nh.
Wilson was'an accidental experiment. He
happened to enter a market.street store
one day when a package OF clover seed was
handed him, which had been sent to the
store by some unknown parties and Mr.,
Wilson was asked to try it and see if it
was any good He planted a little of il
and that might be called tie introduction
of the Italian clover in this country The
new clover attracts so much atten-
ton from those interested, that parties
drive down in carriages TO Mr.. Wilson $
farm FROM alb around Philadeiphia to ex-
anime il and 1t has even teen found naces-
sary to guard the spot where the Italian
clover grows.

months care is necessary to avert the evils

it is cool in the northwest in comparison
with the conditions prevailing in the south

passes over us that is alike dangerous to

weather They face the hot swetering

deliberate care. They never iume or fret
never fuss and waltz around and thus
strike temperature ten or twenty de-
grees above the thermometer, and they set
aside for a cooler season all oppressive
hbols that can be postponed Their
philosophy renders life tolerabe and re-
