it's roots make their way. Wherever
the winters are not too severe it
thrives and is a valuable plant for soil

The Seed.-The seed Of crimson clov-
clover and is almost perfectly oval in
shape. The fresh seed is of a bright
reddish yellow color and has high
polish. AS the seed becomes older the
color changes to a reddish brown, and
eventually the polish is lost and the
seed has dull, dark reddish brown
color. Such a seed should never be
purchased as it is too old to grow we'll.
In general the seed of crimson clover
is less liable to contain many weed
seeds than the seed of other clOvers.
icS of 20
weeds have matured their seed, and
being planted in late summer or fall
it tends to choke out what weeds may
come up with the young plants. In
some cases, however, it contains the
seeds of serious weeds and farmers
should be Oh their guard when pur-
chasing. In a humble of tests

the worst samples there were from

while in one case there were 3S,95S
seeds of yellow trefoil per pound. The
seeds of a species of geranium are not

The seeds of Egyptian clover are OF

tends more to an egg shape. There

seed is comparatively pure its ger
mination often leaves much to be de-
sired. The seed deteriorates rapidly

be demanded; nor should an assur-
ance of it's being fresh be sufficient,
but a guarantee of a definite percent

be demanded from dealers. Seeds

Many of the failures with crimson
clover are due to use Of old seed,
which is sold al a low price. This is
discolored and will show poorer germi-
nation than fresh seed and produce
weaker plants. Even fresh seed may,
however. be of poor quality. The seed
of crimson clover is not easy to har-
vest. The plants require to be cut
when the seed is hard and ripe but not
