Grows abundantly on poor and acid soils. Makes 
a heavy root system, the roots reaching from one 
to three feet deep in the soil. Withstands severe 
droughts and the roots break up hardpan and heavy 
subsoils. 
HABITS OP GROWTH. Lespedeza Sericea grows 
erect with a few to many stems rising from a crown 
like alfalfa. Each stem is branched and the plant 
grows from 3 to 6 feet tall during the first year. 
From 6 to 30 or more stems will arise from one 
crown during the second year, and the plant will 
grow taller. Additional stems grow each year un¬ 
til a plant five or six years old may have as many 
as 100 stems. The plant is extremely leafy, leaves 
holding on to the bottom of the stems. In a dense 
stand, the plant stems are no thicker than a 
wheat straw. 
HAY PRODUCTION. After the first year, two 
cuttings of hay may be safely made, with three 
cuttings under favorable seasons. The quality of 
hay is excellent, provided cuttings are made when 
plants are 12 to 15 inches tall. Second cuttings are 
usually better than the first as from one to six new 
stems are put out by the plant after the initial 
cutting. 
While there are several strains of Sericea. we 
list the 12087 strain which has proven to be the 
finest stemmed and hardiest of the different va¬ 
rieties. We suggest seeding in rows 36 inches 
apart using about two pounds of seed per acre. 
Cover very shallow, about inch deep, and firm 
the soil on the seed. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; oz. 16c;

This is the large type of Japan or Lespedeza Clover. Suitable for hay and pasture. Korean Japan 
Clover starts in the spring, has large foliage, grows more rapidly and is ready to graze before the 
ordinary variety. The roots penetrate eight inches, making it highly drought resistant. Thrives on 
acid and worn out soils; no lime preparation required; does well where other clovers may fail. Fur¬ 
nishes excellent pasture crop from July well into September when most pasture crops are often at their 
poorest. Makes excellent quality hay, having produced as high as two tons air-dryed hay per acre. 
It is a legume, therefore a soil builder, adding both nitrogen and humus to soil, and is drought resist¬ 
ant. It is an annual, reseeding itself each year without soil preparation; seeding usually done in Feb¬ 
ruary, March and April. Rate of seeding: 12 to 14 lbs. per acre where full crop is desired first year; 
8 to 10 lbs. if first crop is permitted to reseed itself tor full crop the second year. It is not recommended 
for wet or shaded land. Quality Brand, postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. .$1.25; 15 lbs. $1.75. Not pre¬

Alfalfa 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
Genuine Certified Pure Stock 
This variety of Alfalfa differs from others in the fact that 
it has a branching growth, instead of the single tap root. It 
makes a great network of feeder roots, which keep it from 
freezing out so readily. Its advantages are many, chief of 
which are its extreme hardiness and great yielding qualities. 
On account of its hardiness and great growth a field of Grimm 
Alfalfa will not kill out as easily. Ten to twelve pounds of 
seed are enough for an acre, as it branches considerably more 
than other varieties. Quality Brand, postpaid, lb. 35e; 5 lbs. 
$1.50: 10 lbs. $2.50; 15 lbs. $3.60. Not prepaid, bu. $12.50; lOO

HARDY ALFALFA 
STANDARD VARIETY 
Genuine Southwestern Grown Seed 
In hardiness, the Southwestern grown nonirrigated Alfalfa 
ranks first. It is hardy enough to stand the winters except in 
high altitudes and where the winters are unusually severe. 
It is the alfalfa we recommend for general sowing. Sow 15 to 
20 pounds per acre. Quality Brand, postpaid, lb, 25c; 5 lbs.

WHITE BOKHARA 
On lands too poor to grow a paying crop of corn, 
on worn out, galled, waste land, on land too sandy 
to grow any other crop, or too acid or too moist for 
other clovers, sow sweet clover, and after a few 
years the land can be brought into condition for 
general crops. It is adapted to a wider variety of 
soils than any other clover; is useful for pasture, for 
forage, for bees, for turning under to improve, for 
it is a nitrogen gatherer, and for inoculating the 
land for alfalfa. The deep roots break up, create 
and drain stiff subsoil and add humus. Sow 15 lbs. 
to the acre in February, March or April. QUAL¬
