Hollowell" is a horticultural leaflet published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, focusing on the cultivation and benefits of crimson clover, a key winter annual legume. Written during the early 20th century, the book provides insights into the agronomic practices of the time, particularly in the central Eastern States of the U.S. The primary topic revolves around the growth, distribution, adaptation, and utilization of crimson clover as an essential forage plant and soil improver in agriculture. The leaflet details the characteristics of crimson clover, including its growth habits, optimal planting conditions, and soil preparation techniques. Hollowell explains that crimson clover is valued for its ability to prevent soil erosion, improve soil health through green manure, and provide pasture for livestock. The document outlines essential agronomic practices such as seedbed preparation, fertilization, and the management of potential pests and diseases. Additionally, it explores the advantages of using both hulled and unhulled seeds, and lists companion crops that can enhance its cultivation. Overall, the text serves as a comprehensive guide for farmers looking to optimize crimson clover production and utilization for sustainable agriculture.
