Japan Clover (Lespedeza Striata). 
JAPAN CLOVER OR LESPEDEZA.—One 
of the most valuable Southern clovers, 
growing well on rich or poor soil. On poor 
land it has a creeping habit; on better 
quality of land a bush form, maki a 
vigorous plant, growing 12 to 18 inches 
high. Sow in spring or fall, about 25 
pounds per acre. Harrow in to the depth 
of 1% to 2 inches, according to character 
of soil, then roll or firm the soil in the 
most convenient way. Makes good grazing. 
Well adapted for use aS green manure by 
turning it under; it enriches the soil and 
prevents “washing” of hill lands. Its 
abundant long taproots and laterals decay- 
ing make the soil porous and leave in it 
much valuable nitrogenous matter to be 
used by the following crops. Roots pene- 
trate deeply, enabling the plant to stand 
severe dry Spells, also bring up valuable 
plant food from the subsoil. For Louisiana 
plant from December to March; In Florida 
sow in the fall for best results; in Georgia, 
Texas, Alabama: and Mississippi sow in 
March or early April. Ib. 50c.; 5 lbs, $2.00, 
postpaid; 25 lbs., at 35c.; 50 lbs., at 30c.; 100 
lbs., at 28c., not prepaid. Write for prices 
on bushel or larger lots. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER.— 
Mililotus Alba or Bokhara. <A _ relative 
of alfalfa and will make luxuriant growth 
on soils rich in lime and of insufficient 
cepth fcr successful growing of either 
Alfalfa or Red Clover. tise vanvedm= 
portant hay and pasture plant and if cut 
while the plants are young, about at begin- 
ning of flowering season, produces hay 
equal to Alfalfa. Seeds may be sown at 
the rate of 20 pounds to the acre from Sep- 
tember to December or February to April, 
producing one cutting the first season, but 
furnishes three cuttings thereafter of from 
one to two each. Hulled, weight 60 pounds

BEGGAR WEED or FLORIDA CLOVER. 
An Annual; valuable forage plant and a 
wonderful soil restorer, more valuable as 
a fertilizer than either Peas or Clover, and 
in many sections of the South superior to 
either for forage. Sow from April to July. 
10 lbs. to the acre. 1 I1hb., 80c.; 5 lbs., $3.50,

CRIMSON CLOVER.—For the South. 
Farmers all through the Middle Atlantic 
and Southern States are increasing the 
acreage of Crimson Clover very materially, 
as they find it one of the best and most 
satisfactory of early forage and soil-im- 
proving crops. Its greatest value is a soil- 
improver, practical farmers maintaining 
that a crop of Crimson Clover turned under 
is equal to a good application of stable 
manure. It costs less to seed per acre than 
any other similar crop, and the results, in 
putting the much needed nitrogen and 
humus into the soil are considered supe- 
rior even to cow peas. Planted during Sep- 
tember, October, February and March. 
Twenty pounds per acre, 60 lbs. to bushel. 
1 1b., 35c.; 5 Ibs., $1.00, postpaid; not pre- 
paid, 10 lbs., $1.80; 50 lbs. at 17c.; 100 
lbs. at 16c. 
WHEAT. 
CULTURE.—The best time to plant 
Wheat in the Southern States is from the 
middle of October to the middle of Decem- 
ber. The aim in any locality is to give the 
plants a chance to get well established be- 
fore freezing weather sets in. Seed should 
be drilled in rather than broadcasted. The 
“open furrow’ system for planting oats 
will answer splendidly for wheat. 
Use commercial fertilizers; at seeding 
time, 200 pounds acid phosphate, 50 pounds 
of muriate of potash, 350 pounds of Cotton- 
seed meal per acre, followed by 75 pounds 
nitrate of soda in the: spring, about 10 days 
before the time for first heads to appear. 
In seeding early use one bushel per acre. 
In late planting, say after November 15, 
yeu bad best use from 4% to % bushel more 
seed. 
FULTZ WHEAT.—One of the old stand- 
bys, matures early and is a good producer. 
Beardless. See Culture. Price, ib., 25c., 
postpaid; peck, $1.25; bu., 60 lbs., $4.00, not 
prepaid. Write for quantity prices. 
RED MAY WHEAT.—We have never 
been able to see where this variety Was 
any earlier and better than the Fultz, 
although many prefer it to that variety, 
claiming great earliness. It is a standard 
variety. Beardless. Price, lb., 30c., post- 
paid; peck, $1.40; bu. 60 lbs., $4.25, not pre- 
paid. Write for quantity prices. 
BUCKWHEAT. 
CULTURE.—Buckwheat is an annual, 
erect in habit, ordinarily growing about 3 
feet high, quite free from interference 
from weeds, plant diseases and insects. 
The crop is well adapted to green manur- 
ing, thrives on quite poor soil, grows rap- 
idly, smothers out weeds, puts hard soil in 
a mellow condition and decays quickly 
when plowed under. Prefers a moist, cool 
climate and matures in 8 to 10 weeks. It 
is planted principally for bee keeping. Seed 
is generally sown broadcast. One bushel 
per acre. In Spring and Fall. 
SILVER HULL BUCKWHEAT. — The 
grains are of a beautiful light gray color, 
have thin husks and less prominent cor- 
ners than those of the other sort. ‘The 
flour is of good quality, and very nutri- 
tious. 1 lhb., 25c.; 5 lbs, $1.00, postpaid; 
48-lb. bu., $3.75, not prepaid.
