SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
The Perennial Lespedeza 
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 OF 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 5 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 until 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 cut¬ 
tings under favorable seasons. The quality of hay is excellent, provided cuttings are made when the 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. 
We suggest seeding in rows 36 inches apart using about 
two pounds of seed per acre. Cover very shallow, about 
Vi inch deep, and firm the soil on the seed. Or seed broad¬ 
cast using 12 to 15 pounds per acre, early in March or 
April. Postpaid, oz. 10c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $13.75. 
Not prepaid, 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.25. Larger quantities 
at 30c per lb. 
MUNG BEANS 
A Wonderful yielder of Beans and Hay 
THE MUNG BEAN is an erect, much branched plant, 
growing from 3 to 4 feet high. In general appearance it 
resembles the Soja Bean, but branches more, the branches 
spreading out wider. The pods average 2 y 2 to 4 inches long 
and are borne out on the ends of the branches. The pods 
grow in clusters of from three to five, each pod containing 
from 10 to 14 seeds. The beans are small and are very 
rich in protein. The pods range in color from brown to 
black. The foliage is dark green and the leaves and foliage 
do not shatter as badly as do Soja Beans. The stem of 
the plant is much softer than the Soja Bean thus making 
a better forage. The yield of beans is from 8 to 15 bushels 
to the acre. Maturing season is about 90 days. Seed re¬ 
quired per acre single rowed and cultivated is 3 to 5 
pounds and they should be planted the average width 
of a corn planter. We predict for the Mung Bean a per¬ 
manent place in American agriculture. Our supply of 
seed will be very limited and for this reason we suggest 
that you order early. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 
$1.00; 10 lbs. $1.75/ Not prepaid, 5 lbs. 65c; 10 lbs. $1.15; 
bu. $5.00. 
Mung Beans 
BROOM CORN 
OKLAHOMA DWARF —Quite distinctive from all 
others in earliness. Of robust habit and extreme 
productiveness; brush long and well fibered and is 
a drought resister. Averages five feet in height, 
making it convenient for pulling brush. Postpaid, 
pkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 35c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.25. 
Not prepaid, 5 lbs. 60c; 10 lbs. $1.00; bu. $4.50. 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN —This Broom Corn grows 
about 7 to 9 feet high, stands up well, and is en¬ 
tirely free from crooked brush. The fiber is long 
and fine. Its greatest value is, that it will not get 
red in the field before it is cut, but is strictly a green 
variety of brush. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 
35c; 6 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.25. Not prepaid, 5 lbs. 
60c; 10 lbs. $1.00; bu. $4.50. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
Sunflower Seeds Are Egg Producers 
Has very large single heads borne at the top of 
a single unbranched stalk usually, and with much 
more and larger seed than the common sorts. It is 
used extensively for feeding poultry and is an ex¬ 
cellent egg producer. Also largely planted for 
hiding unsightly places. The plant often grows ten 
feet high. Sow seed as soon as ground is fit for 
planting corn, in rows, 3 to 4 ft. apart and about 1 
foot apart in row. Cultivate the same as corn. This 
variety will yield 1,000 lbs. or more of seed per acre. 
They grow readily in almost any soil but do best on 
light, rich limestone or alluvial land well supplied 
with moisture and not shaded by trees or buildings. 
Postpaid, pkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 45c; 5 lbs. 90c; 
10 lbs. $1.50. Not prepaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 
lbs. $1.25. Larger quantities 10c per pound.
