GENERAL LIST OF GRASS SEEDS—Continued 
CRESTED DOGSTAIL - Cynosurus cristatus 
Very much esteemed for lawns and mixtures in 
many of the Northern States, producing a quick 
growth of short grass, which is, however, of little for¬ 
age value and has many stems. 
BERMUDA GRASS - Capriola dactylon 
A valuable grass for the South and for tropical 
climates; will not endure frost. Sow 5 to 8 lbs. per 
acre. 
ASTORIA BENT - Agrostis tenuis 
Same variety as Rhode Island and Colonial Bent. 
An excellent all around bent for lawns, greens, 
parks and playing fields; grows on wide range of 
soils; spreads mainly by underground root stalks or 
rhizomes, making a deep reinforced sod. It seldom 
produces many stolons or surface runners, thus less- 
JAPAN AND KOREAN CLOVERS 
(Lespedeza) 
The acreage sown to these Clovers is rapidly in¬ 
creasing each year; they are becoming very valuable 
as forage crops, used extensively for hay; also very 
popular for grazing. Lespedeza is an annual, but once 
planted reseeds itself satisfactorily if given a short 
period of rest. Being leguminous plants, they are 
very profitable as soil builders, growing on almost 
any character of soil; thriving well on sour land. 
Seed can be sown during the early spring, or as 
late as May 15th, broadcast at the rate of 25 pounds 
per acre; being customarily sown on old pastures 
where plowing is not necessary, producing good yields 
under ordinary conditions. Also, excellent to sow with 
other grasses, affording ample grazing through the 
hot summer months. Quantity of seed sown per acre 
should be reduced according to stand of grass. 
The Korean Clover is larger, coarser and blooms 
earlier than the Japan Clover. 
ening the amount of top-dressing and watering. Prom 
60 to 100 lbs. of seed should be used per acre. 
MIXED GERMAN BENT 
As the name implies it is composed of a mixture of 
different varieties of bents. It is a general purpose 
grass for greens, lawns and fairways. 
SEASIDE OR COOS COUNTY BENT GRASS 
(Agrostis maritima) 
A superlative bent for putting greens and lawns, 
ranked high by U. S. Golf Assoc, for putting surface, 
producing a luxuriant matted growth. It is one of the 
most vigorous stoloniferous creepers although this 
characteristic does not usually show up till the sec¬ 
ond year, after which it makes a fine turf of uniform 
color and texture. Sow about five pounds to 1,000 
square feet. 
RED CLOVER - Trifolium pratense 
Too well known to need extended description. Can 
be sown either in the spring or fall and requires 8 to 
12 lbs. per acre alone or 5 to 6 lbs. per acre if in mix¬ 
ture with grasses. 
MAMMOTH OR SAPLING CLOVER 
Similar to Red Clover but of larger growth and 
blooms 3 weeks later, hence more valuable for sowing 
with Timothy. It also forms better aftermath than 
Red Clover. Requires same quantity of seed as Red 
Clover per acre. Current prices on request. 
ALSIKE CLOVER - Also Called Swedish Clover 
Similar in growth to Red Clover but not quite so 
vigorous. Blossoms flesh color. Blooms later and at 
the same time as Timothy. Valuable for hay and more 
satisfactory for pasturage as it lasts longer and will 
stand more grazing. 
If sown alone requires 4 to 6 lbs. per acre or in 
mixture 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 
"ACME" BEST CLOVER SEEDS 
Prices are so changeable they cannot be given here. Will be glad to quote firm prices on request. 
Bags for Clover Seed, holding zy 2 bus., extra, and must be remitted for on all orders.

NOCULATION 
FOR ALL LEGUME CROPS 
The legume crops, such as alfalfa, the clovers, soy beans, 
vetches, peas, etc., are known as soil builders because certain 
soil bacteria make nodules on their roots in which nitrogen is 
gathered from the air and stored. If these special bacteria are 
not present, the crop robs the soil instead of building it up. The 
only way to make sure that there is a sufficient supply of nod¬ 
ule bacteria in the soil is to inoculate the seed before sowing 
with a culture of the right kind of bacteria. Inoculation pro¬ 
duces the following results: 
1 . Insures Better Stands. The legume crops require plenty 
of nitrogen. Inoculation makes an ample supply available. 
2. Insures Bigger Crops. Inoculation by increasing available 
plant food promotes the most vigorous growth and produces 
bigger crops. 
3. Increases Value of Crop for Peeding. By feeding nitrogen 
to plants, their protein content and hence their feed value, is 
greatly increased. 
4. Adds Fertility to Soil. Inoculation provides plenty of ni¬ 
trogen for the crop and, when it is turned under, adds to the 
soil an average of 100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre.

ACME INOCULATION is a scientific pure culture of root 
nodule bacteria, prepared on special food jelly in bottles with ______ 
patent stoppers which permit the bacteria to live and breathe ~~ ~ ” ’ 
and maintain their vigor. Each culture contains plenty of bacteria to inoculate the quantity of seed mark¬ 
ed on the bottle. The cost per acre is very small. 
Moreover, Acme Inoculation is easy to use, requiring no equipment or experience. Takes only a few 
minutes. Complete directions on every bottle. Results are sure. Buy your Acme Inoculation when you buy
