This is a 1913 work on growing different types of clover in a garden. Clover, or trefoil, are common names for plants of the genus Trifolium, consisting of about 300 species of plants in the leguminous pea family Fabaceae. They are small annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial herbaceous plants. This volume offers the reader all the information they might need to know about growing clovers, including soil type and preparation, different varieties, planting, propagation, and much more. Contents include: "General Principles for Growing Clovers", "Medium Red Clover", "Alfalfa", "Alsike Clover", "Mammoth Clover", "Crimson Clover", "White Clover", "Japan Clover", "Burr Clover", "Sweet Clover", and "Miscellaneous Clover". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
