The time to cut it is, as with clover and sainfoin, when it is in early flower. |
Only in Flanders and a few contiguous districts was grain rotated with soil-restoring fodder crops, such as clover, lucerne, and sainfoin, and fallow thus eliminated. |
A field of sainfoin in June, with its glorious blossoms of pink, is one of the prettiest sights in all creation. |
Because of this it is specially important that sainfoin shall be sown on a clean seed-bed. |
Besides beetroot for sugar, clover and sainfoin are grown, little or no barley, and neither turnips nor mangel-wurzel. |
The nectar, perfumed with the fragrance of thyme and sainfoin, gives a honey of a very high quality. |
