30 pounds for golf courses and 40 for levee 
protection. Bermuda is used more extensively 
than any other grass on lawns, golf courses

leaf of dark green color. Spreads quite 
tapidly and grows very well in the South. 
It dies down with a heavy frost in the Fall

well in the shade but is very hardy where 
it has sunshine. Takes about 30 days to 
start.

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. 
1 Ib., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50, postpaid. 
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 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., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50, 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 earhest grazing of any, les- 
pedeza. Gioue taller than Common, larger 
lant and coarser, with broader leaflets. 
Eorean 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 Ibs., $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 22 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 
ted top or herd’s grass.
