| Weeds, therefore, and sometimes grasses are much liable to come into the soil occupied by the sainfoin and to crowd the same. |
| In August, open areas can be planted with perennial cover crops such as clover or sainfoin, sometimes called esparcet or holy clover. |
| Because of this it is specially important that sainfoin shall be sown on a clean seed-bed. |
| 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. |
| Besides beetroot for sugar, clover and sainfoin are grown, little or no barley, and neither turnips nor mangel-wurzel. |
| The time to cut it is, as with clover and sainfoin, when it is in early flower. |
