Synopsis Differences in plant size, flowering, winter survival, and leafhopper damage in Ladino and white clover seedlots indicated that the system of seed certification, from which the Ladino lots were selected, was inadequate to insure that all seedlots were the same genetically. Larger plants flowered later in the season than smaller plants. Numerous leafhopper‐resistant plants were found in the comparatively susceptible Ladino. There was a positive correlation of fall vigor with petiole diameter, winter survival, and leafhopper damage.
