Unequalled for hay, pasture and soil - building 1 . * 
Adapted to a wider area than any other known le¬ 
gume. Withstands droughts that would kill other crops. In¬ 
creases the grazing capacity of pastures from twenty-five to fifty 
percent. Grows anywhere—on acid soils, waste lands, worn-out 
gravelly soils and galled hillsides where nothing else of value 
will grow. Reseeds itself every year, even when severely grazed, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. Does well in mix¬ 
tures in all Southern pasture grasses. 
726 Tennessee 76. A selected late maturing strain of Common 
Lespedeza developed by the Tennessee Experiment Station. In 
shape and size of leaf it is like the original Japan Clover but 
grows much taller and yields a third more hay. Does well in the 
lower cotton belt, and especially popular in western Tennessee 
and North Carolina. Lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25. For larger quantities, 
see price-list in back of catalog. ^

733 The most widely-grown 
variety. Does well over a 
wider territory than other va¬ 
rieties. The most important 
pasture legume in the South. 
Increases carrying capacity 
of pasture lands from 25 to 
50%. Grows on poor soils, 
including acid types, a.nd sup¬ 
plies grazing during the sum¬ 
mer and fall months when 
most pasture plants are suf¬ 
fering from hot sun. On 
good soil will produce an ex¬ 
cellent growth, and reaches a 
height of from 18 to 30 
inches. The small stems of 
the plant make it an easily 
cured hay crop. Seed should 
be planted on a well-prepared 
but firm seed bed in Feb¬ 
ruary or March. On grazing 
crops sow 10 to 15 pounds 
per acre. When planted, 
alone for hay crop sow 2 & 
pounds. Lb. 30 c; 5 lbs. 
$1.25. For larger quan- A 
tities, see price-list in Aj
