1. Studies of the recovery and nutritive yield of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) and serradella had been made in 1951. Five varieties of crimson clover and serradella (Se) were used: Auburn (Ab), Autanga (At), Dixie (Di), Mississippi (Mi), Talladega (Ta). The three systems of cutting emplbyed were : C
1, cut every 35 days or 3 times per year C
2, cut every 49 days or 2 times per year C
3, cut at every full bloom stage or 2 times per year 2. Recovery after cutting (green yield) : Mi produced more significant green yield than the other five varieties in C
1, C
3, and Mi, Ta in C
2. However, there were no significant differences in yields between Mi and Ta. 3. Recovery after cutting (oven-dry yield) : Mi produced more significant oven-dry yield than the other five varieties in C
1, C
3 and Mi, Ta, Di and Se in C
2. However, there were no significant differences in yield between Mi, Ta, Di and Se. 4. Recovery after cutting (crude-protein yield) : Mi produced more significant crude protein yield than the other five varieties in C
1, C
3 and Mi, Ta in C
2. However, there were no significant differences in yield between Mi and Ta. 5, On the differences of yield between three cutting treatments, the following results were obtained.C
