ALFALFA PRODUCES MORE FEED THAN 
ANY OTHER CROP 
The yield should be more than three tons 
per acre where there is abundant rainfall 
and a long growing season. 
Alfalfa and corn fed together make a good 
ration for all live stock—Alfalfa belongs on 
every farm—for hog pasture, hay for the 
dairy herd, family cow or chickens. For 
sheep and beef cattle, no other roughage is 
equal to alfalfa hay. 
When comparing alfalfa with other crops, 
remember one sowing of alfalfa may last 
five years. 
Alfalfa should be sown early enough to 
permit the plants to become well established 
before winter sets in. The rate of sowing 
depends upon the condition of the soil. In 
the South, 25 to 30 pounds per acre is gen¬ 
erally advised. Except under very favorable 
conditions, alfalfa should be sown without 
a nurse crop. 
Alfalfa should be cut for hay when the 
plants are well in bloom. 
LEGUME-AID—Helps 
Prevent Crop Failure By 
Increasing supply of ni¬ 
trogen. Legumes need 
plenty of nitrogen. If 
proper legume bacteria 
are not present, plants 
must depend entirely on 
soil nitrogen. In soils of 
low fertility, the crop may 
fail entirely if proper bac¬ 
teria are not present.

1061—LESPEDEZA (JAPAN) CLOVER—Native Lespedeza „ 
the one seed that the Creator of All Things sent to us of the 
Southland to restore our worn out cotton lands. Lespedeza is 
the salvation of Southern worn hill lands, and it produces a 
good hay crop on rich bottom lands. Lespedeza has never failed 
to grow on any soil in the Middle or Southern States, and while 
it will grow year after year on hard, compact, uncultivated 
soil, it will respond in a marked degree to cultivation. Lespe¬ 
deza is one of the leading crops of the South. Sow in February, 
March or April. Seeds weigh 25 pounds per bushel. Sow 20 to 
25 pounds per acre. Price—1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.40, 
25 lbs., $3.00. 
1080—KOBE LESPEDEZA—A new and improved type of Lespe¬ 
deza which 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 x /z 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., 30c; 5 lbs., 
70c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 25 lbs., $2.75. 
1049 HARDY NORTHWESTERN—So called for it comes from those states like Utah, 
Idaho and others where the winters are very cold, therefore producing hardy alfalfa. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.60; 10 lbs., $3.00; 15 lbs., $4.50; 25 lbs., $7.00 
1050 BUCK BRAND ALFALFA—Grown in the State of Kansas. Our annual sales 
now amount to many thousands of pounds each year, and after 40 years’ experience 
we call it the best upland American-grown alfalfa. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.20; 15 lbs., $4.80; 25 lbs., $7.50 
1051—DAKOTA ALFALFA—This variety is the result of years of careful breeding 
and represents the highest type of alfalfa. Dakota produces exceptionally hardy 
alfalfa, practically immune to winter killing. 
Price—1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.80; 15 lbs., $5.60; 25 lbs., $9.00 
1067 HARDY UTAH—Often known as mile high alfalfa, because these seed are 
produced in the mountain valleys of Utah, more than 5,000 feet above sea level. In 
the mountains of Utah where this seed is grown the severe night temperatures 
often drop 35 degrees below the day temperatures. This seed, we believe, will stand 
more cold without winter killing than any alfalfa grown. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.20; 15 lbs., $4.80; 25 lbs., $7.50 
10j2 KANSAS CERTIFIED—Field inspection is made before harvest. The inspec¬ 
tor repoits upon the eligibility of the field as a source of certified seed, examines 
the field for purity and freedom from diseases and weeds, and inspects the grower’s 
seed-cleaning equipment and storage facilities. If the germination and purity are 
found satisfactory, the seed is bagged and is then inspected and sealed. 
Price—1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.30; 15 lbs., $6.25; 25 lbs., $10.00 
1068 VERIFIED OKLAHOMA ALFALFA-Grown in Northern Oklahoma on the 
border line of Kansas; a very hardy strain and well adapted to our Southern states 
Price—1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.80; 15 lbs., $3.20; 25 lbs., $6.75 
1077—LESPEDEZA SERICEA (Poor land alfalfa)—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. Broadcast 25 lbs. to acre. 
Price 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.15; 25 lbs., $5.00, post paid. Writ'e for prices 
on larger quantities.

COMMON LESPEDEZAS 
1078— TENNESSEE STATION No. 76 LESPEDEZA—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 re¬ 
mains green until killing frost, furnishing excellent pasture 
after the others have lost their leaves. Price—1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 
80c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $3.25. 
1079— KOREAN LESPEDEZA—A new variety and 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 common Lespedeza, and 
more rounded. Begins flowering in July, the flowers crowding 
near the ends of the branches, as distinguished from other 
varieties, which have flowers scattered along the stems. Korean 
is especially suited for a short growing season. Seed ripens in 
September. Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., $1.10; 25 lbs., $2.25 
Inoculate all Alfalfa, Clovers, Lespedezas. Lack of inocula- 
tion has caused many clover crop failures. See page 66.
