(Pursh. Amer. t. 22.) 1598. Melilotus. From Mel, honey, and Lotus. These plants are similar to the Lotus, and are the favorite resort of bees. M. officinalis is the chief ingredient in flavoring the Gruyère cheese. This cheese no doubt owes its chief excellence to the mixture of herbs in the mountain pasturage which surrounds the valley of Gruyère, but partly also to the flowers and seeds of this plant, which are bruised and mixed with the curd before it is pressed. 1599. Lupinaster. That is to say, Lupine-like. A pretty little herbaceous plant, with bright flowers. 1600. Trifolium. A plant with three leaves ; the τρiφuλλov, of the Greeks, trêfle, of the French, and trefoil, of the English. This genus includes the two most valuable herbage plants adopted in European agriculture, the white and red clover.

Notwithstanding all that has been said of the superiority of lucern to clover, and of the excellence of saintclover, and of the excellence of saint-foin, and various Leguminosæ of the pea kind, yet the red clover for are, and probably ever will be, found to excel all other plants in these respects. The yellow clover, T. procumbens, and the cow or meadow clover, T. medium, are also in cultivation, but are far inferior to the others. The meadow clover is a useful addition to the white sort in laying down permament pastures; the yellow grows on poor soils, but the herbage is not much liked by cattle. The soil best adapted for clover is a deep sandy loam, which is favorable to its long tap-roots: but it will grow in any soil, provided it be dry. So congenial is calcareous matter to clovers, that the mere strewing of lime on ORDER IV.

At least this appears the most obvious way of accounting for the well-known appearance of white clover in such cases. The climate most suitable for the clovers, as of most plants natives of Europe, is one neither very hot nor very dry and cold. Most leguminous plants delight both in a dry soil and climate, and warm temperature; and the clover will be found to produce most seed under such circumstances; but as the production of seed is only in some situations an object of the farmer's attention, a season rather moist, provided it be warm, is always attended by the most bulky crops of clover herbage.

The time of sowing seeds is generally the spring, during the corn-seed time, or from February to May; but they may also be sown from August to October; and when they are sown by themselves, that is, unaccompanied by any corn crop, this will be found the best season, as the young plants are less liable to be dried up and impeded in their progress by the sun, than when sown alone in spring, and remaining tender and unshaded during the hot and dry weather of July.

The manner of sowing is almost always broad-cast. When sown with spring corn, clover and grass-seeds are usually put in immediately after the land has been pulverized by harrowing in the corn-seed, and are themselves covered by one course more of the harrows; or, if the corn is drilled, the small seeds are sown immediately before or after hand-hoeing; and the land is then finished by a course of the harrows. In the operation of sowing, some consider it best to sow the clover and rye-grass separately, alleging that that the weight of the one seed and lightness of the other, are unfavorable to an equal distribution of both.
