1053— RED CLOVER (Wilt-Resistant) (Medium Red Blossom)—It 
is largely planted in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and other 
Southern states, being admirably adapted to the valley lands of 
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and states farther north. It 
makes two or more cuttings of hay each season, and is fine for 
pasturage in combination with other clovers and grasses. Sow 
seed during the fall and spring, at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds to 
the acre. A bushel weighs 60 pounds. 
1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.95; 10 lbs., $3.75; 15 lbs., $5.40 
1054— RED CLOVER (Mammoth or Sapling) (Red Blossom)—It 
greatly resembles the Medium Red, but grows coarser and more 
vigorous. It is the best clover for pasturage, as it will produce 
an enormous yield and is of the highest feeding quality, but not 
as desirable for hay. Specially desirable for hog pasture. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.90; 15 lbs., $5.60 
1055— ALSYKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER (Delicate Pink)—This 
is one of the hardiest varieties known. It is perennial and does 
not winter kill. It will do better on moist land than any other 
variety of clover, and is suitable for either hay or pasture. When 
sown with other grasses, it forms a thick undergrowth and 
greatly increases the yield. It is frequently sown both with 
Red Top Grass and Timothy, and the quality of hay thus pro¬ 
duced is excellent. It is fine-stemmed and leafy, and thus is 
quickly cured. Sown alone for forage, 12 pounds per acre; in 
mixture, Alsyke 4 pounds, Red Top 6 pounds, Timothy 5 pounds. 
1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.00; 15 lbs., $5.75 
1057—SWEET CLOVER (White Blossom)—A variety of clover 
which, while young, resembles alfalfa, but on mature develop¬ 
ment grows from 4 to 6 feet in height. It is extremely vigorous 
and especially adapted to waste lands, though many promi¬ 
nent farmers and stock raisers use it on good land for a forage 
crop. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.70; 15 lbs., $2.35 
1066—HOP CLOVER (Yellow Blossom)—An annual. Grows about 
6 to 8 inches high. Its growing season is from very early spring 
until mid-summer. It is especially valuable when sown very 
early with Japan Clover on Bermuda sod or with any grasses, 
clovers or mixtures which do not make a heavy early spring 
growth. It is the earliest and fastest growing clover adapted to 
Southern soils and climate. Seeds small, sow 4 to 5 lbs. alone or 2 
lbs. to acre in mixtures. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.90; 15 lbs., $5.50 
1056— WHITE OR DUTCH CLOVER (White Blossom)—Largely 
used for sowing on lawns, mixed with Kentucky Blue Grass and 
other grass seeds, and is very valuable because it supplies nitro¬ 
gen to the soil and increases the fertility and makes the plant 
root more available for the use of the grasses. It is of value to 
the summer pastures and should be used in all grass seed mix¬ 
tures sown for either lawn or pasture. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.10; 10 lbs., $4.00; 15 lbs., $5.75 
1060—CRIMSON CLOVER (Scarlet Blossom)—Succeeds on al¬ 
most any good soil. Sown at the rate of 15 pounds per acre any 
time after August 15th and up to November 1st, or can be sown 
between cotton or corn during August, using 6 to 10 pounds to 
the acre. Crimson Clover furnishes good hay and adds fertility 
to the soil. 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.25; 15 lbs., $3.00 
Wilt-Resistant Red Clover in Blossom 
ANNUAL OR COMMON LESPEDEZAS (Japan Clover) 
The best clover for all average soils of the South ; grows on the poorest 
waste land, withstands drouths, valuable soil improver, reseeds itself each 
year. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre during February, March or April, according 
to location There are about 180,000 seeds to each pound. 
1061—COMMON LESPEDEZA—Lespedeza is one seed that the 
Creator of All Things sent to us of the Southland to restore our 
worn cotton lands. Sow in February, March or April. Seeds 
weigh 25 pounds per bushel. Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.75 
1078— TENNESSEE 76—This variety is similar to the common 
or wild variety, except that it is taller and more upright in 
growth, holding all the branches off the ground, even when the 
plants stand alone. It is finer stemmed than either Korean or 
Kobe, and grows to the height of nearly 3 feet under favorable 
conditions. It blooms slightly later than Kobe and considerably 
later than Korean or common. It remains green until killing 
frost, furnishing excellent pasture after the others have lost then- 
leaves. Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $2.85 
1079— KOREAN—The earliest of the annual Lespedezas. It comes 
up early in the spring and grows rapidly, furnishing much earlier 
pasture than any other variety. The leaves are larger than com¬ 
mon Lespedeza, and more rounded. Begins flowering in July. 
Korean is especially suited for a short growing season. Seed 
ripens in September. 
Price—1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.50 
1080— KOBE—Grows much ranker and has larger leaves and 
slightly coarser stems. It has been known to grow 38 inches tall 
but usually about 2 to 2% feet. Possibly due to its rank growth, 
completely shading the ground, and thus retaining moisture, it 
is much more resistant to dry weather than common Lespedeza. 
Kobe flowers in August and ripens the seed in October. An 
excellent variety for pasture and hay. 
Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $2.85 
LESPEDEZA SERICEA, THE POOR LAND ALFALFA 
It has been proven that untreated or unscarified Sericea seeds 
will only germinate about 4% to 6%, while treated or scarified 
seeds will germinate under ordinary field conditions about 85%; 
we ship only scarified Sericea. 
It will take about 2 pounds of scarified seed to sow an acre, 
planting it about as you would Turnips or Mustard in 2V2-foot 
rows—1 ounce will sow about one 50-foot row; it requires about 
25 pounds to broadcast an acre. 
We advise planting the scarified Sericea in the spring after 
danger of heavy frosts or after the ground is warm, or about 
corn planting time. 
We want you to be successful with your first planting of Seri¬ 
cea, and therefore suggest that you inoculate the seed before 
planting. 
The weight per bushel of clean unhulled seed is about 35 
pounds, and hulled seed 60 pounds. The number of unhulled 
seeds is approximately 100,000 to the pound; of cleaned hulled 
seeds, 225,000 to the pound. 
1077—LESPEDEZA SERICEA is called the poor land alfalfa be¬ 
cause it is a perennial legume plant sending up new shoots after 
cutting or grazing from the crown or root like alfalfa. It will 
grow, thrive and thicken on poor, thin lands where alfalfa or 
other clovers will not grow; it will grow on sour soils without 
the addition of lime; it will last for years without reseeding. 
Price—1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $7.25 
All Lespedezas Are Clovers and All Clovers Should Be Inoculated. See Page 65.
