 BERMUDA GRASS— Plant from February to

 and 30 pounds for golf courses and 40 for 

 levee protection. Bermuda is used more 

 extensively than any other grass on lawns, 

 golf courses and levee protection. It has 

 a narrow, thin leaf of dark green color. 

 Spreads quite rapidly and grows very well 

 in the South. It dies down with a heavy 

 frost in the Fall but comes in in the Spring. 

 It does not do well in the shade but is very 

 hardy where it has sunshine. Takes about 

 30 days to start.

 longer in the fall. It is a natural perennial 

 in Louisiana. It is used extensively in 

 lawns, golf courses, fairways and porks.

 November, and cover lightly. Reseeds Itself 

 even when closely grazed. Makes an up- 

 right growth 2 to 3 feet high. Will stand

LESPEDEZA 



LESPEDEZA or JAPAN CLOVER— One of the 



best clovers that can be planted in the 

 South. Planted 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 

 disk 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 nu- 

 tritious forage. One bushel to the acre. 25 

 lbs. to the bushel. 



1 lb. 75c; 5 lbs, $3.50, posfpaidi Write for 

 prices on larger quantities. 



KOREAN LESPEDEZA 



KOREAN LESPEDEZA 



Korean is the earliest of the annual Les- 

 pedezas, coming up first and growing rapidly, 

 therefore giving earUest grazing of any les- 

 pedeza. Grows taller than Common, larger 

 plant and coarser, with broader leaflets. 

 Korean matures earlier than other lespedezas, 

 seed beginning to ripen in September. The 

 only variety suitable for Northern half of the 

 United States. Korean is fine in combination 

 with grain for it will drop seed before time to 

 break the ground to sow grain in the fall. 

 Korean is fine in pasture combinations, and 

 an abundant hay ylelder. 



I lb. 35c; 5 lbs. SI. 35, postpaid. 



KOBE LESPEDEZA 



Kobe has certainly earned a home for itself 

 on Southern farms, particularly where long 

 periods of drought occurred, for Kobe came 

 through these droughts where Common Les- 

 pedeza was burned out. The drought resist- 

 ance is a life-saver to a farmer, and is no 

 douLbt due to the very extensive root system 

 and its rank growth, with larger than ordinaTy 

 leaves. We have seen Kobe 36 inches tall but 

 usuaUy it is 2 to 2V2 feet tall. We have seen 

 yields of 4 tons per acre with Kobe. It is ex- 

 cellent for hoy and pasture alike. Can be 

 sown with oats, also with orchard grass and 

 red top or herd's grass.
