Reseeding Crimson Clover has aroused interest among some of our Rappahannock farmers as result of articles bn the subject appearing in farm publications among which was “Tractor Farming” distributed locally by A. W. Mitchell A Company of Culpeper. For this reason the following ‘untinted’ information ii offered for what it may be worth to our farmers concerned.
Regular Crimson Clover seed mature and fall to the ground in June and after a few good rains they germinate. The hot dry weather that usually follows germination usually kills most, if not all* the young seedlings. The reseeding type produces a large percentage of hard seed that do not germinate until later in summer when conditions are more favorable, thus it can reseed itself.
