 perennial in Louisiana. It is used extensive- 

 ly in loTwns, golf courses, fairways and 

 parks. It stands more shade than Bermuda.

 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.

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. 



I lb. $1.00; 5 lbs. 34.50, postpaid. Write for 

 prices on larger quantities.

KOREAN LESPEDEZA 



Korean is the earliest of the annual Les- 

 pedezas, coming up first and growing rapid- 

 ly, therefore giving earliest grazing of any 

 lespedeza. Grows taller than Common, larger 

 plant and coarser, with broader leaflets. 

 Korean matures earlier than other lepedezos, 

 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. 



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 or- 

 dinary leaves. We have seen Kobe 36 

 inches tall but usually it is 2 to 21/2 feet tall. 

 We have seen yields of 4 tons per acre with 

 Kobe. It is excellent for hay and posture 

 alike. Can be sown with oats, also with 

 orchard grass and red top or herd's grass. 



I lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.25, postpaid.
