FARM 
Selected varieties chosen by seedsmen who 
know this territory and its special needs. 
LESPEDEZA—Produces plenty of high quality 
hay, and does an excellent job of soil building— 
particularly when inoculated. Stands dry, hot 
weather very well, and produces repeat crops in 
good volume, even where moisture is low. Consult 
us about varieties best suited to your growing 
conditions. 
COW PEAS—The triple-purpose crop, good for 
table use, stock feed, and soil improvement. Un- 
questionably one of the greatest soil improving 
and general hay crops, and adapted to practically 
every kind of soil. Food value is exceptionally 
high. Be sure to inoculate. 
SOY BEANS—The crop of many purposes. Ex- 
cellent for hay, ensilage, grain, and soil improve- 
ment. Ground Soy Beans are as good or better 
than Oil Meal for mixing with your grains ina 
balanced dairy ration. 
We offer the highest quality seed of a good range 
of varieties. Consult us about the choice of varie- 
ties best suited to your own needs. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE—One of the most valu- 
able crops. Excellent green food for all livestock, 
including hogsand chickens. Anacre of good Rape 
will pasture 20 hogs for two months. Delicous for 
your table, too. If you haven’t tried it, cooked 
like other greens, be sure to plant some this season. 
MILLET—Its quick growth makes it particularly 
desirable for hay and pasturage, especially in 
times of drouth. 
SORGHUM—A seed that must be bought with 
special caution because of the danger of impurities 
that will seriously affect final results. We handle 
only seed which has been produced with the great- 
est care. Feel free to consult us about the selection 
of Sorghum Seed varieties that best fit your own 
special wants. 
VELVET BEANS—Fine for a forage crop and a 
good soil builder, too. Grows rapidly. Excellent 
for planting in corn or in fruit groves. (Be sure to 
inoculate.) 
GRASSES 
BERMUDA—The best foundation for permanent 
pasturesin many territories. Needs little moisture. 
Thrives almost everywhere. Does well in com- 
binations. 
HULLED BERMUDA—Hulls completely re- 
moved to encourage quick germination. Under 
proper moisture conditions will germinate in one 
to two weeks. 
CARPET GRASS—Excellent permanent pasture 
because its creeping growth lets it stand close 
grazing. Needs plenty of moisture. Especially de- 
sirable for golf courses. 
DALLIS GRASS—Germinates slowly and needs 
plenty of moisture at the start—but well worth 
the effort because it comes closer to giving you 
year-round pasturage than any other grass. 
ITALIAN RYE or WINTER GRASS—American 
grown. The grass that solves many winter lawn 
and pasture problems. Must be considered strictly 
an annual on lawns, but if not grazed too closely 
will reseed itself in pastures. 
SUDAN GRASS—One of the greatest summer 
grazing crops. Also fine for green feed. Keep a 
small plot near the barn to cut and feed green to 
cows or horses.

CLOVERS 
Lack of space prevents listing all our offerings of 
Clover. We carry an adequate range of varieties, 
carefully selected for their suitability to this ter- 
ritory. Consult us as to the best choice for your 
own particular needs. 
SEED POTATOES 
Our Certified Stocks are the most economical you 
can plant, because they reduce your hazards, give 
you bigger production and fewer culls. They are 
true toname... grown especially for seed stock 
.. more highly disease resistant... tagged for 
origin. 
SEED CORN 
More and more, the problem of choosing seed corn 
is becoming a local problem. It’s of prime impor- 
tance to have the varieties that best fit your own 
growing conditions and the particular needs of 
this territory. 
Our selection of seed corn is built on intimate 
knowledge of this district—and conscientious ap- 
plication of that knowledge. So you are always in 
good hands when you buy seed corn here.

BERMUDA GRASS UNHULLED— 
As valuable for lawns or golf courses as 
it is for pasture—or wherever a thick, 
heavy sod is desired. Needs plenty of 
water. When Bermuda grass turns 
brown in late fall or winter, it should 
be given a good application of lawn 
fertilizer. 
HULLED BERMUDA GRASS—The 
highest grade of Bermuda, with the 
hard, almost water-tight hulls removed. 
Produces much quicker and more cer- 
tain results. Germination, with proper 
moisture conditions takes only 1 to 2 
weeks. 
CARPET GRASS—Exceedingly 
hardy. Does better in poor, sandy soil 
than any other grass. The more mow- 
ing and trampling it gets, the better it 
likes it. Highly desirable for golf courses. 
WINTER RYE—The grass that with- 
stands winter weather perfectly. Plant 
it in fall for a nice green lawn during 
the winter months. An annual—must 
be planted every year. 
RED TOP—Particularly suitable for 
wet, low spots, as it stands wet weather, 
or even overflowing, better than other 
grasses. Also does well on almost any 
good, rich soil. Often thrives where blue 
grass fails. However, it should not be 
considered as competitive with blue 
grass, but as a good supplement for it. 
Particularly useful in mixtures for re- 
straining the growth of weeds. 
OUR BEST LAWN MIXTURE—Pro- 
duces excellent results under most con- 
ditions. However, we recommend that 
you consult us if you are in any way 
uncertain about your lawn. 
Our No. 1 lawn mixture is the very fin- 
est combination of high quality seeds— 
a formula based on years of experiment- 
ing under local conditions. 
HOW TO HOLD MOISTURE 
IN YOUR LAWN 
The life and beauty of a lawn depend 
upon how much water it retains. 
As almost every lawn is different, the 
amount of water needed and the meas- 
ures taken to retain moisture will differ. 
For instance, a lawn that tops a rise in 
ground and is unshaded, will need con- 
siderably more attention than one ina 
hollow, or surrounded by trees. 
For the lawn which dissipates its mois- 
ture, there is no better remedy than an 
application or applications of peat moss. 
Peat moss is noted for its ability to re- 
tain moisture and keep the soil particles 
loose and friable. It can be used in two 
ways; either spaded into the soil to 
loosen and lighten it, or spread on the 
surface as a soft moisture-retentive. 
Apply peat moss to a depth of at least 
half an inch on the surface, depending 
upon conditions. A full inch may be 
spread in some cases, and where a very 
heavy clay soil must be loosened, even 
more is desirable.
