 Hi, Janet.  Even though this plant is a little harder to get started (not
 for me; it grows all over up here), it has the added bonus of having an
 incredibly pleasant fragrance that perfumes the surrounding area.

I agree Sheila,  the larger sweet.clover M. albus smells great,  and when it
blooms here,  it crawls with bees.  When I first thought of using Melilotus as
green crop,  I had wanted albus,  but was unable to find a seed source,  so I
settled for what I already had.  Now I like the yellow one.  I will keep my
eyes open to see if I ever come across a strain of albus that isnt as leggy as
the one that occassionally comes up for me now.  

Janet.
