BERMUDA GRASS — Plant from February to 

 September, 20 pounds per acre for lawns 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.

CARPET GRASS — Plant from February to Sep- 

 tember, 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 

 in Louisiana. It is used extensively in lawns, 

 golf courses, fairways and parks. It stands 

 more shade than Bermuda. Takes about 30 

 days to start. Carpet Grass is also used 

 extensively for meadows and pastures in 

 the South.

PERSIAN CLOVER — A very valuable new 

 clover for the South. Furnishes splendid 

 grazing for cattle from December until June, 

 and yields 2 to 3 tons of rich nutritious hay 

 per acre, which can be easily cut and cures 

 very quickly. It is a splendid soil builder, 

 and -will thrive on clay or loamy soils. Sow 

 6 to 8 pounds per acre from September to 

 November, and cover lightly. Reseeds itself 

 even when closely grazed. Makes an upright 

 growth 2 to 3 feet high. Will stand wetter 

 lands than most clovers. Seed should be 

 inoculated with NITRAGIN. See page 34.

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 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. One bushel to the acre. 25 lbs. 

 to the bushel. 



1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.50, postpaid. Write for 

 prices on larger quantities. 



KOREAN LESPEDEZA 



Korean is the earliest of the annual Les- 

 pedezas, coming up first and growing rapidly, 

 therefore giving earliest 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 yielder. 



1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 



Lespedeza, Korean 



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 

 doubt due to the very extensive root system 

 and its rank growth, with larger than ordinary 

 leaves. We have seen Kobe 36 inches tall but 

 usually it is 2 to 2Vi feet tall. We have seen 

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

 cellent for hay and pasture alike. Can be 

 sown with oats, also •with orchard grass and 

 red top or herd's grass. 



1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid.
