ANNUAL YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER

 valuable winter legume for the lower South. 

 Grows 2 to 3 feet tall and produces 5 to 

 10 tons of green matter by early May. Will 

 reseed itself if cut when seeds start matur- 

 ing. It thrives on all kinds of soil and grows 

 rapidly and abundantly. Sow during the 

 early fall or spring at the rote of 20 pounds 

 per acre if used alone. Inoculate seed for 

 best results with NITRAGIN. 

 Lb. 40c; 5 lbs. S1.60. 



ALTA FESCUE — Has great promise of being 

 the greatest year round pasture, hoy and 

 silo grass for the South. It is a perennial 

 grass attaining a height of from 21/2 to 3 

 feet. Grows practically the year round in 

 favorable seasons. The growth may be 

 somewhat slow the first year while an ex- 

 tensive root system is being developed, but 

 should be rapid and vigorous after that 

 time. Alta Fescue is adapted to nearly all 

 soils in the South that will retain the needed 

 moisture and is particularly tolerant to wet 

 and even overflovring land. The seeds may 

 be sown in February and March. Sow at 

 the rate of 10 to 15 lbs. of seeds per acre. 

 Lb. 70c; 5 lbs. S3.50. 



ZOYSIA JAPONICA — This fine-leaved lawn 

 gross will thrive well both in full sun and 

 dense shade. As it only grows from 3 to 

 4 Inches tall it requires very little mowing. 

 The new strain we are offering grows as 

 rapidly as St. Augustine Grass in warm 

 weather, is immune to chinch bugs and has 

 a tendency to crowd out crab grass. Full 

 directions for planting with each purchase.

CROTALARIA 

 SPECTABILIS 



World's Best Cover Crop. Build up yotir 

 soil with this new legume.. This new legiime 

 produces more humis and more nitrogen per 

 acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and 

 can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself 

 each year under favorable conditions. It is 

 used as a summer cover crop and soil builder 

 in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. Livestock 

 will not eat it, therefore you will not be 

 tempted to cut it for hay when your ground 

 needs it so badly. This should be planted as 

 soon as danger of frost is past and at a time 

 when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, 

 and can be planted as late as July, either 

 broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is 

 required per acre for broadcasting and half 

 of that amount If drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 

 feet depending entirely on the locality.

STRAWBERRY SHOOKS 

 or DIRT BANDS 



STRAWBERRY SHOOKS or DIRT BANDS— Egg 

 plants, muskmelons and early cucumbers 

 pay well if they come early into the market. 

 In order to "have them early, it is a good 

 plan to start them in a cold frame in what 

 are called "Dirt Bands." This Is a box 4 

 inches square and 4 inches deep, without 

 bottoms. These are placed in a frame and 

 filled with good rich soil, and five or six 

 seeds m each box. When the plants come 

 up, thin them out to one or two In each box. 

 Before using dirt bands, wet them thorough- 

 ly before handling or they will be apt to 

 break at the grooves, as they are made of 

 thin veneered wood.

ARASAN 



Seed treated with Arason is pro- 

 tected against many seedling dis- 

 eases and seed decay which cause 

 missing hills and hills with only one 

 stalk. Fifty-one farm demonstrations 

 in the Com Belt showed that Arasdn 

 increased stands by 5% to 15%.
