full The sweet c1overs Of all three
species, however, will grow on thin,
poor land, in fact they seem to prefer
that to rich land Sweet clover is
something new to many farmers and
for that reason they class it as a
weed. But the same farmers have
acres of their farms stocked with wild
mustard, ragweed, and similar afflic-
tons without making the slightest
effort to rid themselves of them. The
carpet weed of California ought to
grow in Florida and it is useful. If
you grow Bermuda onions you can
grow Tagasaste, another fodder.
There is a great future for these
things in Florida on the thin, sandy
lands of that lovel " state. w. K. M.
(Three of the plants mentioned
were unknown to us, by the names
given, so we wrote for specific names.
The following is the writer's reply:
Yours of August 27th is at hand.
The carpet weed is "Lippia nodlflora
Cor repens). A161eria is Erodium
Cicutarlun, a full account OF which
is published by Arizona Experiment
Station Tagasaste is the tree alfalfa,
Cycytisus proliferus of the Canary
Islands, when allowed to grow three
years and then cut, the young shoots
arising are excellent fodder: It is a
drought resister. w. K. M.
Prof. Bailey in his Cyc1opedia of
American Horticulture says of Lippia
repens: "Under the name Of Lippia
repens, Franceschi introduced into
S. California in 1900 an interesting
perennial designed as substitute for
lawn grass in the South. It makes a
remarkably dense mat, and bears
numerous tiny flowers an inch or so
above the ground. The flowers are
borne in a dense, bud-1ike head, cover
ed with many tightly overlapping
bracts. The flowers appear in rings,
beginning at the base of the little

Forage Plants.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida AgrlCulturist:
Noting yours in August 18th issue,
it might be we'll to add to what ap-
peared in Gleanings in Bee Culture
with reference to sweet clover. The
yellow species is grown in Bermuda
and Australia, also Texas, hence it
would seem to be best for Florida.
The Indian species grows we'll in Ari-
iona and the Experiment Station at
Yuma states it is the best soil i'm
proven in that section. Surely it
should grow in Florida Pin clover
(Alfileria), which grows so we'll and
is SO very useful in Arizona, Califor-
MIA, Utah, Nevada, Texas and else
where ought also to grow. Tt is worth
millions to the West.
Southern farmers ought to be told
Our cultivated Northern clovers re-
quire rich, deep soil to be success
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-09-18

head Franceschi writes of this plant
that it thrives in any soil no matter
how poor, rapidly covers the ground,
smothers weeds, stands tramping, re-
CURES much less water than grass,
needs no moving, can be easily taken
out if desirable, and is used in South
ern Europe for tennis grounds"
This seems to be a very desirable
plant for many parts of this state.
Of Alfleria, Prof. Bailey says: "The
West American or Spanish name for
Erodium cicutarium A hairy annual
which is used for pasture in dry
regions"
Of the Tagasaste, Cytisus pro1if-
erus, Prof. Bailey says &C. pro1if-
erus, shrub to II feet, with long and
slender pubescent branches.
Recommended as a fodder plant for
California"
