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.

riety in the South, although small for hay

per acre.

quantity prices. 
ZOYSIA JAPONICA—This fine-leaved lawn 
grass 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. 
Lb. $3.75; 5 Ibs. $17.50, 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 
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. 
1 lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.25, postpaid. Write for 
Prices on larger quantities. 
‘KOREAN LESPED 
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 Ib. 60c; 5 Ibs. $2.50, postpaid. 
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 2% feet tall. Woe 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. 
1 lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.50, postpaid.
