J. STECKLER SEED COMPANY, Ltd., NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 



Bermuda Tee Carpet Grass Fairway 

 Winter Scene — Edgewater Gulf Hotel Golf Course 



372. CARPET GRASS. Plant from February to September, 20 lbs. per acre for lawn and 30 lbs. for Golf Courses. 

 This is a much coarser grass than Bermuda but will stand drought and hot weather better and also stays green 

 longer in the Fall. It is a natural perennial grass in Louisiana. It is used very extensively in lawns, golf cours- 

 es, fairways and parks. It stands more shade than Bermuda. Takes 20 to 30 days to start. Carpet Grass is also 

 used extensively for meadows and pastures in the South. 

 Prices: lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.50, postpaid. 



373. CLOVER — Steckler's Matchless Alfalfa. This is the most 

 widely planted of all clovers. It produces an extremely long 

 root, stands drought exceedingly w T ell. It will produce 4 or 5 

 crops of hay a year and it enriches the soil. Its very long branch- 

 ing roots loosen the subsoil. A very profitable field crop for the 

 farmer. Plant January to April for Spring and September to No- 

 vember for Fall at the rate of about 30 pounds per acre. 

 Prices: lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 



374. CLOVER, Alsike. Sow in Spring, six lbs. to the acre. This is ex- 

 ceptionally good for wet lands, very similar to Red Clover, except 

 smaller plant and leaves. Makes excellent pastures and hay. Suc- 

 ceeds in impoverished and acid soils. This is a Perennial Clover. 

 Prices: lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25, postpaid. 



375. HAIRY PERUVIAN ALFALFA. Sow thirty pounds per acre, 

 from January to April for Spring and September to November for 

 Fall. Withstands colder weather better than Alfalfa or Lucerne and 

 usually produces a heavier yield of hay. A perennial plant. We 

 highly recommend this variety for hay and pasture. 

 Prices: lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 



37:5. LESPEDEZA or JAPAN CLOVER. One of the best clovers 

 that can be planted in the South during the spring months. Plant- 

 ed at the rate of one bushel to the acre from December to May. If 

 sown on sod the land should be first scarified with a disc harrow 

 in order to give the seed a good seed bed. Thrives on very poor 

 soils and continually improves them, at the same time yielding a 

 highly profitable and nutritious forage. 

 Prices: lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25, postpaid. 



377. RED CLOVER. 



Sow in Spring or 

 Fall, fifteen pounds 

 to the acre. This va- 

 riety is most univer- 

 sally grown through- 

 out the country. On 

 fertile soil and espe- 

 cially where hay is 

 desired, it has only 

 one superior, and 

 that is Alfalfa. 

 Alfalfa Prices: lb. OOc; 5 lbs. 



$2.50, postpaid. 



378. WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET (Melilotns Alba or Bokhara.) Sow 



20 pounds per acre from February to April for Spring and Sep- 

 tember to December for Fall. Resembles Alfalfa in appearance 

 and will grow luxuriantly on soils rich in lime and of insufficient 

 depth for successful growing of either Alfalfa or Red Clover. 

 Prices: lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. 



379. WHITE DITCH. This is a very common variety in the South, 

 although small for hay production, it is one of our best pasture 

 clovers. Sow in Spring or Fall, 12 pounds per acre. 

 Prices: lb. 75c; 5 lbs. $3.0^, postpaid.
