This should be Melilotus alba Lam. of 'Bengal Plants'. Photographed today (7.2.15), a wild weed in cultivated and no-cultivated field, a bit stouter than M. indicus, but with relatively bigger white flowers.
First two photographs show both the species, M. albus and M. indicus.

Picture taken in the last week of June, near a park in the Niagara Falls area.

Looks like Melilotus sp.
Could be Melilotus alba?
I tried searching after your suggested id.

Thanks, ..., for id.
To me also appear close to images at Melilotus albus
Yes Melilotus albus

Yes, I agree with Melilotus albus aka White Sweet Clover; this plant is good for honeybees who will make lots of lovely honey. Most honey labelled as 'clover honey' is from this plant. I grow this plant in my garden as it has blood thinning properties... if harvested after the flowers have formed.
