 except smaller plant and leaves. Makes excellent pasture and 

 hay. Succeeds In impoverished and acid soils. This is a Perennial 

 Clovwr. 

 CLOVER-BURK^A wonder-ful soil builder. An excellent winter 

 cover crop. Furnishes plenty of pasture for stock; grows any- 

 where ; solves the soil fertility problem. 

 HAIRY PERUVIAN ALFAL-FA. Sow thirty pounds per acre, from 

 January to April for Spring and September to November for Fall.

 the country. On fertile soil and especially where hay is desired, 

 it has only one superior, and that is Alfalfa. 

 WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET (MeUlotus Alba or Bokhawu) Sow 

 20 pounds per acre from February to April for Spring, and Sep- 

 tember to December for Fall. Resembles Alfalfa in appearance and will grow luxuriantly on soils rich in lime 

 and of insufficient depth for successful growingof either Alfalfa or Red Clover.

our best pasture clovers. Sow in Spring or Fall, 12 pounds per acre.

 will eat all of it but if permitted to get coarse and tough, stock will not eat it. Sow during March and April, 

 1 to 1% bushels, per acre; exceedingly hard to eradicate when once planted. 



KENTUCKY BLUE. The standard grass in America for pastures.

 lished it is permanent. Sow 30 pounds per acre in Spring or 

 Fall.

 South. Very hardy, starts early in Spring and continues well into 

 the winter. Bears close grazing and is very long lived. Grown very 

 extensively in the South for pasture and hay. Sow from Septem- 

 ber to June, 45 pounds per acre.

 lands. This is an excellent pasture and hay grass. An excellent 

 variety, 30 pounds per acre. Sow from October to February. 



RYE, ENGLISH. The winter lawn for Southern homes. Southern 

 winter lawns are greatly admired and enjoyed and are produced 

 with very little expense. The summer lawn grasses die out when 

 frosts and cold weaiher come. Rye Grass is planted from Sep- 

 tember 15th to about April Ist. It comes up very quickly. English 

 Rye is slightly lighter In color and some prefer it to the Italian. 

 Sow 300 pounds to the acre, for lawn and golf courses and IH'! 

 pounds per acre for meadows. 



DOMESTIC or AMERICAN RYE— Grown in the United States from. 

 the Imported Italian and English, has the qualities of both except 

 that it runs about 80% English and 20% Italian, used extensively 

 today in America for Lawns, Golf Courses, Meadows and Pastures. 



RYE, ITALIAN. This variety of Rye Grass some gar- 

 deners claim is a little hardier than the English. It is 

 slightly darker and stays green a little longer in the 

 early summer. It is planted as extensively as the 

 English and is as well liked. 300 pounds per acre is 

 required for lawns and golf courses, 150 pounds per 

 acre for meadows. 



Steckler's Winter Lawn and Golf Link Grass 



TI3IOTHY, For a hay crop, Timothy is probably un- 

 surpassed by any other grass. It is also an excellent 

 grass for grazing. Planted extensively. Sow 12 

 pounds per acre, September to October. 



STECKLER'S SUNNY SOUTH LAWN (Mixture). Plant 

 September to April 150 pounds per acre. Great suc- 

 cess has been reported from the planting of this mix- 

 ture, 



SUDAN. An excellent forage crop. Grows vigorously 

 and hardy. Yields more tonnage per acre than any 

 other forage crop. Plant 15 pounds per acre. March 

 and April for Spring ; August and September for Fall. 



STECKLER'S WINTER LAWN AND GOLF LINK 

 GRASS. Especially adapted for all lawns in the 

 South. An old lawn which has been planted with 

 Bermuda or Carpet should be prepared in the follow- 

 ing manner. The Grass should be mowed as closely 

 as it is possible, scarified with a rake and planted 

 with Stecklers Winter Lawn and Golf Link Grass at 

 the rate of 300 lbs. to the acre or 10 lbs. to the average 

 city lot of 30 x 120, cover this vnth a light loam of 

 any sort and see that it is well covered so that the 

 seed will be in contact with the sod below and the 

 soil on top. This should not be done any earlier than 

 September 15th and not later than April 1st, as the 

 Winter Lawn grass does not last after June 1st. When 

 this dies away either the Bermuda or Carpet Grass 

 which ever you have planted will come np unnoticed.
