Hardie’s Alfalfa 
NlTRAGlN 
“FOR HAY AND PASTURE” W ^ 
Alfalfa is a very profitable crop, yielding three to five cut¬ 
tings a year and the hay is most nutritious. It is claimed that 
the feed value of a ton of Alfalfa is equal to a ton of shelled 
corn. The yield in weight will average five to seven tons per 
acre. The roots will penetrate to a depth of 15 to 20 feet and it 
will get plant food where other crops would be a failure. 
When once established, Alfalfa is the most valuable perma¬ 
nent clover crop that can be grown, also has the highest feeding 
value of any hay. 
When considering the planting of Alfalfa, it is wise to remem¬ 
ber that it is one of the best soil builders. Should you want to 
plant Alfalfa land in some other crop and destroy the plants, the 
large roots decay and produce a wonderful source of fertility 
for the growing of new crops. 
750— HARDIE’S FANCY NATIVE ALFALFA—Our supply of 
seed for 1937 selling is of the very highest quality, truly ac¬ 
climated to the South. Do not buy cheap Alfalfa seed. If it 
is cheap it is not pure, but mixed with weed seed. Lb. 40c; post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $3.50. 
751— HAIRY PERUVIAN—More upright growing than our 
native grown, and especially adapted for the South. Derives 
its name from the leaves and 
stems being quite hairy. The 
crowns are more erect and 
have fewer stems, which are 
coarser than ordinary Al¬ 
falfa. Grows in cool weather 
when other Alfalfa has 
ceased growing. Lb. 40c; 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 
lbs. $3.50. 
For over 37 years, we have given especial thought and care to the selection of seed corn 
which would give best results under the varying growing conditions in this section, and by 
offering only the choicest-tested varieties, we have now become widely known as a dependa¬ 
ble source of seed for this most important crop. We offer Northern and Southern varieties. 
Some growers prefer the one; others pin their faith to the other. From our 36 years’ ex¬ 
perience, we believe that the judicious farmer should mix his crop—planting some of both 
the early maturing Northern corns and some of the later Southern varieties. The earlier 
Northern corns often make before our occassional dry seasons set in. 
There are a good many factors that determine the yield of corn per acre. Some of these 
are beyond the control of the grower, but there is one very important factor that every 
grower can control, and that is the quality of the seeds that are planted. We call attention 
to the error many people make, when planting corn early, in having it too deep. The deeper 
you plant the colder the ground is, and especially with soft corns, the seed is apt to rot 
before the ground gets warm enough to germinate it, resulting in a poor stand. Early 
planting of corn should be planted shallow to produce an early and good stand. 
Southern Grown

best corns for Texas. It makes in about 
100 days. Prices: Per qt. 30c: postpaid.

This fine Southern-grown yellow corn is a 
splendid variety, well suited to the South. 
It makes a good-sized ear, with fine deep 
grain and is very prolific, and stands dry 
weather remarkably well. A well-bred corn ; 
the large demand we have for it every year 
proves that it gives the best of satisfaction. 
Our stock this year is fine; every ear was 
carefully selected before shelling. Price, 
per qt. 30c; postpaid. Not prepaid: peck 
85c; 1 bu. $3.00; 2 bu. $5.80. 
758— HICKORY KING—Comes nearer being 
all corn and no cob than any other. Makes 
a beautiful roasting ear, highly desirable 
where a pure white corn is wanted for meal.

peck 95c; 1 bu. $3.50.

heavy stalk and a medium-sized broad ear; 
in many instances one stalk of this variety 
will produce two ears of corn. We truly be¬ 
lieve that Surcropper will make corn where 
many other varieties fail. It is drouth-re¬ 
sisting and will stand lots of hot weather. 
Requires about 100 to 110 days to mature.
