Despite its scientific name, alsike clover is not of hybrid origin.

The saturation pollination technique was also applied to ladino and alsike clover seed production with corresponding increases.

Alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum)

Trifolium hybridum, alsike clover, is a plant species of the genus Trifolium in the pea family Fabaceae.

In 1931, the association asked the United States Tariff Commission to reduce the duty charged by the United States government on alsike clover seed from Canada.

Other plants include alsike clover, bee orchid, cornflower, Japanese honeysuckle, lucern, marsh orchid, medicago, melilot, northern marsh-orchid, wild carrot, wild parsnip and in the ponds azolla pond weed, common reed, phragmites and reedmace.

Although excellent results may follow from sowings in March, yet in many districts the soil is then likely to be too wet and cold, particularly for the smaller seeded species like timothy, rough-stalked meadow-grass, white and alsike clovers to establish themselves satisfactorily.
