Ladino Clover produces’ that 
“good” pasture you have plan- 
ned to have. It is a perennial 
and sends up large leaves on 
long stems, which soon cover 
the ground between plants. 
Ladino Clover in a mixed seed- 
ing forms the perfect pasture. 
One farmer runs 10 head of 
cows on three acres and rota- 
tes them every three or four 
weeks for a season of 150 days. 
On another farm 15 acres of 
Ladino carried a herd of 55 
high-producing dairy cows ‘for 
5 months. 
Many poultrymen are using 
Ladino Clover for _ poultry 
ranges. One such range s 
the year before, carried 500 to 
700 pullets per acre during the 
entire season and was. then 
clipped several times during 
the season. 
Price 80c., per Ib., 5 Ibs. $3.90.

SERICEA LESPEDEZA (PERENNIAL) 
Adapted to any type of soil, wonderfully resistant to 
drought, yielding large hay crops,—a fine soil improver. 
Like alfalfa, it requires one year to get set, but after 
the first year it will produce two to four tons of field- 
cured hay per acre annually. Some farmers think that Ser- 
icea Lespedeza hay is equal to that of alfalfa. Sow unhull- 
ed seed in February and March, 20 to 25 pounds per 
acre. Hulled or Scarified in April or May, 15 pounds per 
acre. Can be sown under same conditions as Korean. 
Hulled Seed, Lb. 20c., 100 Lbs. $18.00. Unhulled Seed, 
Lb. 16c., 100 Ibs. $15.00. 
HAIRY VETCH 
(Vicia Villosa) 
lt is very hardy, is valuable as a winter cover crop to 
prevent leaching, and for forage and fertilizing purposes. 
oa in spring also with oats for hay. 15 Ibs. Vetch and 
1% Bu. Oats per acre makes good mixture. 
Lb. 13c; Bu. $7.00. 
DOMESTIC RYE 
Excellent for winter lawns. Ideal for sowing on crab- 
grass sod when the crab-grass becomes dormant. If well 
watered, seed will germinate in 6 to 8 days. Domestic 
Rye should be sown each fall. Keep closely clipped in 
spring.

GRASSES 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
Especially adapted to the South; stands heat and 
drought of mid-summer and the cold of winter. Starts 
growth early in spring and gives good grazing until late 
fall. If sown alone, use 18 to 22 Ibs. per acre; if sown in 
mixture use 8 Ibs of Tall Meadow, 8 Ibs. of Orchard 
Grass, 8 Ibs. of Red Clover. 
Lb. 14c., 100 Lbs. $12.50 
SUDAN GRASS 
A great summer forage crop. Sow about 10 lbs. per 
acre in drills 18 inches apart and cultivate; may be broad- 
cast at the rate of 20 to 25 Ibs. per acre. 
Lb. 6c., 50 Lbs. 5c., per Lb. 
RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS 
Succeeds better and is adapted to a wider range of soil 
than any other grass grown in the United States. Red 
‘not do so well on light sandy soils. 
Top is especially adapted for growing on wet, heavy bot- 
tom lands, and should always be included in mixtures for 
such lands whether for hay or pasture. Red Top, if sown 
alone, should be seeded at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds of 
fancy recleaned seed per acre. Being used quite a bit in 
recent years with Timothy.

TIMOTHY 
Timothy is suitable for a wide variety of soils, but does 
best on bottom lands, rich moist loams and clays. It does 
Timothy can be sown 
to good advantage in either fall or spring. 6 pounds of 
Sapling Clover, 6 pounds of Timothy, and 4 pounds of 
Herds Grass make a mixture very desirable for hay or 
pasture, sufficient to seed an acre. Timothy by itself re- 
quires to be sown at the rate of about a peck to the acre; 
or with clover, 6 pounds of Timothy and 6 pounds of 
Clover will give a good seeding.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Does not succeed on thin sandy soils. Limestone and 
stiff soils suit it best. One of the first grasses to start 
up in the spring, yielding valuable, nutritious pasturage 
It stands -the coldest weather, and cattle tramping the 
ground does not injure it. Should be sown thickly, as it 
requires some time to become thoroughly established, 
usually one or two years, and for that reason we recom- 
mend that it be sown with other grasses. Sow either in 
the fall or spring, 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 25c., Bu. $2.95, 8 Bu. Bag $2.90 per Bu. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Orchard grass is a very vigorous grower and yields large 
crops of excellent and nutritious hay, as well as having 
special value as a pasture grass, furnishing good grazing 
from early spring till winter. It responds quickly after 
cutting or grazing. With a few weeks of seasonable wea- 
ther it is ready for grazing again. When cut for hay be 
sure to cut when in bloom, or as soon thereafter as pos- 
sible for if left too long after blooming the woody fibre 
forms and the hay become coarse. Orchard grass is 
particularly well adapted for pasture, and has the fur- 
ther advantage of growing well in shade, giving excellent 
results when sown in orchards and shaded parks. 85/85,
