1935 SPRING SEED CATALOG-HENKY FIELD C O.—S H E N A N D O A H 
The New Sorgo Fodder Crop 
HEGARI 
Often called 
“Early Atlas” 
Atlas Sorgo 
gave wonderful 
results last year 
and I wish I had 
g e nuine Atlas 
seed for you 
again this year. 
But, the Atlas 
seed crop was a 
failure. Fine for 
feed but didn’t 
ripen enough too 
make germina¬ 
tion for planting. 
Hegari is the 
nearest thing to 
Atlas and in some 
ways better, and 
it’s earlier. It 
licked the drouth 
enough to mature 
a fine lot of seed. 
Hegari seed looks 
like common Kaf¬ 
fir but don’t you 
let anyone sell 
you any Kaffir 
seed for Hegari— 
because Hegari is 
is far and away better than Kaffir. Has a sweet, 
leafy stalk, a lot like Atlas and it matures about 2 
weeks earlier. My own try-out field of Hegari last 
year wasn’t quite as tall as Atlas but leafed out 
thicker to add up about the same. 
The Nebraska Experiment Station says: “Hegari 
has produced slightly heavier yields of cured forage 
than Black Amber during a 6 year period in Neb¬ 
raska Experiment Station tests, and was unsur¬ 
passed in grain production. It should therefore 
prove very satisfactory as an emergency forage 
crop in this state ” That ought to pretty nearly 
settle it. 
I’ve got some beautiful Hegari Seed, not a world 
of it but enough to take care of you folks who will 
get busy and order it early. It’s reasonable in price, 
too, because it takes only 10 lbs. to the acre in 
rows, or 50 lbs. broadcast or drilled. But, if you 
want Hegari at the present low price better hurry 
your order in here for it right away.

SWEET CLOVER 
Along with most farmers in the Corn Belt you are probably worry¬ 
ing about what in the world to do for emergency pasture. Don’t 
forget what a wonderful crop Sweet Clover is. The folks who had 
it last year were patting themselves on the back because it did such 
a good job of resisting the drouth. 
Remember this, you can plant Sweet Clover on the frozen ground 
in February or early in March and you will have good pasture by 
Mid-summer and still more for next Fall. Sweet Clover is fine feed 
for your live stock and it is a great soil builder, to boot. 
If you need this crop on your place this year, don’t put off order¬ 
ing your seed. The government reports the shortest Sweet Clover crop 
on record since it became so popular. There will be a heavy demand, 
you can be sure of that. And in the face of a serious shortage, you 
are apt to get left in the lurch if you don’t get yours ordered just as 
early as you can. 
I’ve got some mighty fine Sweet Clover Seed for you. It’s beauti¬ 
ful seed, real quality, high germination, the fancy kind you might 
expect to be priced way out of sight. But, you will find my price 
very reasonable. To be sure of getting the low price, I want you to 
order yours early and the earlier the better for you and me both. 
Korean Lespedeza 
Korean Clover is certainly proving itself as one of the most sensa¬ 
tional crops since Alfalfa came into its own. Never has any legume 
crop had such an increase in so short a time. Surely there can be 
but one answer for this, Korean Lespedeza gives results. 
Korean Clover is a soil builder the same as any other clover, better 
than some of them. It will grow on practically any kind of soil, 
sour land, washed, eroded and worn-out soil. It grows successfully 
where no other kind will catch. It makes a full crop of pasture, hay 
or seed the same year you plant it. It re-seeds each year. 
The last three or four years have thoroughly proven that Korean 
Clover is probably the most reliable and best adapted of all legumes 
for poor land in the Central and Southern States. It’s just what you 
need for summer pasture. Right through the summer months, when 
Blue grass and other grass pastures are all dried up and brown, 
Korean is at its best, nice and green and producing a real pasture. Or 
it produces a good heavy crop of fine stemmed leafy, high quality hay 
that cures easily. 
Best of all, the price of seed this year is down where you can af¬ 
ford to sow it. The price is cheap. You don’t need to use lime or 
fertilizer. And it requires little or no seed bed preparation. 
Sow Korean this year where your land is torn up by washing. Sow 
it on poor or thin soil to build it up. Sow it on those thin pastures 
and make them really pay good returns. But, remember to sow it 
early, the earlier the better, right on top of the ground. 
And, sow Korean Clover in all of your pasture mixtures, whether 
sowing a new seeding or thickening up a thin stand. It does best 
on a good solid seed bed. Sow 7 to 10 pounds per acre in pastures 
and 12 to 15 pounds for hay or for a new seeding. Write for Latest

Sericea Lespedeza 
The new perennial Lespedeza is often referred to as “Sour Land 
Alfalfa” for it will grow on poor acid land and where adapted lives 
for several years. It lived through last winter here on our farm at 
Shenandoah and is coming along all right so far this year. Try it out. 
Sow it early. 
Harbin Lespedeza 
An Annual, a very new introduction by the government. It will 
move the Lespedeza belt 300 miles farther north. We grew the seed 
here at Shenandoah and it was dead ripe when Korean started to 
bloom, gave good reseults on our tests as far north as South Dakota 
It’s extra early.
