In regions where red clover is declining on account of lack of lime, one may see some alsike. |
In the mountain States, with Wyoming as a center, timothy and alsike clover would be suitable. |
Nutritionally, white and alsike clovers are similar to alfalfa. |
The alsike remains longer than the red or mammoth, and is better for undrained, thin, and acid soils. |
As a honey plant, alsike clover is without a rival among clovers, unless it be in the small white variety. |
Horse owners should be able to recognize the different red, white, and alsike clovers so that poisoning can be prevented. |
