SOUTHWESTERN COMMON. 
FIELD SEEDS 
We do not give any warranty, express or implied as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, 
plants, etc. 
ALFALFA (lInoculate) 
60 Ibs. to the bu. 20 to 25 lbs. plants an acre. 
Alfalfa. in the South will produce 3 to 5 
tons of hay to the acre each year and in 
money value surpasses any other Clover. Al- 
though fall sowing is preferable, fine results 
can be obtained when planted in early spring. 
One of the important features in growing 
Alfalfa is first preparing your land, and in- 
oculating your seed. 
HAIRY PERUVIAN. Heavy yielding variety 
under normal or average field conditions. 
Stands temperature down to 10 degrees F. 
Superior in dry weather but falters when 
cold and wet. Planted extensively in Louisi- 
ana. 
Developed 
from Common Chilean, under dry conditions 
of the Southwest. Similar in behavior to 
Hairy Peruvian but smaller stemmed. A 
heavy producer and very popular. 
COMMON OR CHILEAN (Arizona, Oklahoma 
and Kansas.) More hardy than above vari- 
eties and stands more adverse conditions. 
Producing slightly less. Its stems are small- 
er and the quality of hay better. It is pos- 
sibly the safest and most popular variety 
grown in the U. S. 
CLOVER (lInoculate) 
MELILOTUS ALBA or WHITE SWEET 
CLOVER. A biennial clover growing two 
to five feet high, resembling alfalfa. Grows 
two years from one seeding. Makes a large 
growth the first year, but a much heavier 
growth the second due to its extensive root 
system. It’s a great soil builder. Relished 
by all kinds of livestock. Good hay and graz- 
ing crop for alluvial soils or limed soils. No 
other pasture crop measures up to the sum- 
mer and fall grazing furnished by this 
plant. 
Plant 15 to 20 lbs., in fall or spring. 
BLACK MEDIC CLOVER. 
CALIFORNIA BUR CLOVER. 
TENNESSEE 76 LESPEDEZA. 
grazed and spreads rapidly. Grows 1 to 
2 feet high, bears small pink flowers and 
seeds heavily. Will stand heavier, wetter 
lands than most clovers. Sow 6 to 8 pounds 
per acre from September to November. 
A wonderful 
Clover of the alfalfa family, thriving on all 
soils except water-logged types. It spreads 
faster than any other Clover. Reseeds it- 
self with close grazing. Yields a very nutri- 
tious pasture. Sow from early September 
until December, the earlier the better. It 
is an excellent hay plant. 
Similar to 
Southern Bur but kills at about 10 degrees 
F., yet is very popular in Louisiana and 
Texas. It is worth trying. 
HOP CLOVER. Grows well over the greater 
part of all the Southern States. It’s very 
aggressive and hardy. Should be a part of 
all pasture Clover mixtures. It is one of 
the earliest to give grazing. If used alone, 
sow 6 pounds per acre. Seed should be 
inoculated. Plant in the fall. 
SOUTHERN GIANT BUR (Spotted). Usually 
sown in Bur at rate of 6 to 8 bushels of 
10 lbs. to acre. Oan be grazed until late 
March and then make a good seed crop. 
Some winter grazing can be had and a good 
green manure crop realized to plow under. 
Seed are trashy and dusty. Sow in fall. 
LESPEDEZA (inoculate) 
Selected 
strain of Common Japanese, originated by 
Tenn. Experiment Station. 
KOBE LESPEDEZA. Makes great growth 
and thrives over the entire South. It is 
larger than Common and late like it. 
COMMON LESPEDENZA. A widely grown 
variety. Does well over a wider territory 
than other varieties. An important pasture 
legume in the South. Increases carrying 
capacity of pasture lands. 
_- KOREAN LESPEDEZA. Korean is earlier, 
coarser and usually a heavy producer. It 
is of most value in the northern half of the 
cotton belt.

Briefly, success depends largely on plant-

ing deep, inoculating seed, and if soil is too 
poor, apply phosphorus. Planted consistently 
/ over a period of years, your cotton and corn 
production can be doubled. Plow under seed 
- with turning plow or middle buster, keeping 
| in rows for better drainage. On average soils 
four inches seems best depth to plant. 
COMMON VETCH. Is the most popular winter 
vetch for Louisiana and Hast Texas. It 
has never winter killed in this latitude and

and lawns. Accommodates itself quickly to 
nearly all soils. Does well in Bermuda and 
mixed pastures, furnishing grazing in late 
winter and early spring—long before the 
Bermuda starts. Mixes well with all grass- 
es and clovers for a permanent pasture. 
Sow 5 to 10 lbs. to acre in fall. 
| MELILOTUS INDICA CLOVER—Annual Yel- 
low Blossom Sweet Clover. Also spoken of 
as ‘Sour Clover.’’ A valuable winter legume 
for the lower South. Grows 2 to 3 feet tall 
and produces 5 to 10 tons of green matter 
by early May. Will reseed itself if cut when 
seeds start maturing. Sow during the early 
fall or spring at the rate of 20 pounds per 
acre. 
A new Clover that 
should be planted on every pasture in the 
South. Furnishes splendid grazing from 
December until June. Will carry several 
head of cattle per acre. Yields 2 to 3 tons 
of rich, palatable hay per acre. Cures very 
quickly. Reseeds itself even when closely

probably produces the heaviest cover crop 
we can plant and is ready to plow under 
earlier than other Vetches. Plant 30 lbs. 
per acre. 
Similar to Common 
and has small seed, planting further to the 
pound. Some insist it is better than Com- 
mon, and it is especially popular on Alluvial 
Soils, although not so much so in hills. 
Plant 25 lbs. per acre. 
Preferred by 
many to Vetches for a cover crop. They 
grow off fast in spring and can be plowed 
under early. Write your experiment sta- 
tions about Peas and Vetch. Plant 40 lbs, 
per acre. 
HAIRY VETCH. Universally popular and 
still planted generally all over the South. 
Having very small black seed, it plants 
further, hence, although the price is higher, 
it goes further and is economical to plant. 
Plant 20 lbs. per acre. 
We will not be in any way responsible for the crop. No Responsible Seedsman Gives Any Warranty. 
FIELD GRASS 
A most valuable grass 
because it grows and thrives under condi- 
tions that most other grasses would perish. 
It is hard to have a perfect lawn in the 
Gulf States, except through the use of 
Bermuda, and a permanent pasture is not 
complete without it, and again, on rich 
bottom land the plant grows tall enough to 
cut for hay and the quality averages well 
up with the best. The plant will stand 
drought, will bear several cuttings and 
much grazing. On lawns sow 1 pound to 
1,000 sq. ft. or 15 lbs. per acre for pasture 
or hay. 
HULLED BERMUDA. Revolutionizing Ber- 
muda lawn planting. The process removes 
the hull and promotes quicker germination. 
Tests show that this type will germinate 
within 8 to 15 days. Plant in spring. 
ITALIAN RYE OR WINTER GRASS. Amer- 
ican-grown. An annual, tall, broad, flat- 
leaved deep green Grass very valuable for 
winter lawns and pastures. Produces with- 
in 3 weeks, or less, a beautiful green winter 
lawn. Splendid grazing is secured from 
midwinter until June. Withstands winters 
well. Strictly an annyal on lawns, but re- 
seeds in many cases on pastures. Requires 
10 pounds per 1,000 square feet for lawn; 
40 to 50 pounds per acre for pastures. 
DALLIS GRASS. Comes nearer growing the 
year round than any other grass. Its roots 
give succeeding crops whether seeds are 
allowed to mature or not. Cultivation read- 
ily kills it. Besides being a superior pasture 
grass. Dallis is a fairly good hay plant. 
Plantings are made principally in early fall 
and in the spring commencing in January. 
Our Louisiana-grown seed is fairly satisfac- 
tory and widely used. Sow 10 to 20 lbs. 
per acre. It is hard to get established, 
usually taking two years or more. 
SUDAN GRASS. The greatest summer graz- 
ing grass that can be planted. Often planted 
in April, cut once for hay, and grazed from 
late July until frost. The hay usually will 
be worth the cost of producing the crop. 
Resembles Johnson Grass in growth but is 
an annual that does not come back from 
the root. A small plot handy to the barn, 
can be cut and fed green to the cow or 
horse, supplementing concentrated feed and 
resulting in substantial saving of feed. 
Dairymen cannot afford to be without Sudan 
pasture in summer and Abruzzi Rye pasture 
in winter.
