SERICEA LESPEDEZA—This new perennial Lespedeza will 
in time prove the South’s foremost Legume. It makes 
heavy yields on poor acid soil and is a great soil im- 
prover, besides resistant to droughts. Sericea Lespedeza 
offers an outstanding opportunity to progressive farmers 
to produce and sell the seed of this wonder plant that 
thrives on poor, sour soil and on which Red Clover and 
Alfalfa are not profitable. While Alfalfa requires fer- 
tile soil, lime and fertilizer in order to produce a good 
crop, Sericea Lespedeza is a much cheaper crop and 
promises to the Southern farmer more certain results.

SAND. OR HAIRY VETCH—A nutritious and valuable for- 
age and soil-improving crop. Makes a large and quick 
growth. Sow from July to November, preferably with 
grain, which holds the Vetch well up off the ground. To 
get the best results sow 20 lbs. to the acre, together with 
50 Ibs. of either Wheat, Oats, Rye or Barley.

Owing to the great care exercised in growing, selecting, 
grading and shelling our Corns and the superiority of our

other States. 
WHITE DENT — This is the standard White Dent Corn 
grown in Virginia. It is a hardy and vigorous grower, 
uniform in size and unusually productive. It has pure 
white grains, large ears with medium size cob, well filled 
out at both ends. When grown on good land often pro- 
duces two good size ears to the stalk. 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE—A large eared variety of White 
Corn. Has deep, soft and very white grains; a vigorous 
grower and has taken more premiums for large yield 
than any other variety. Being a soft corn, it is excellent 
for stock feeding, but is more likely to rot on the stalks 
in a wet season than harder varieties. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE—This is, no doubt, the best Ensilage 
Corn grown. It yields more forage than any other kind, 
grows 12 to 15 feet high, has large stalks and an abun- 
dance of fodder. The ears are long and slender. Has 
thick, hard grains and makes good meal. It should be 
grown only on good land. 
HICKORY KING—An early low growing corn which can be 
planted closer together than the large corns. It has a very 
small cob with large broad grains. Especially recommend- 
ed for high light land. Will yied more shelled corn per 
barrel of cob corn than any other kind. 
VIRGINIA ENSILAGE—A large White Corn with abun- 
dance of foliage which is used extensively for ensilage 
and fodder; also makes good yield of corn. 
D. & B.S IMPROVED GOLDEN DENT—We consider this 
the best Yellow Corn for this section. It is hardy, healthy, 
vigorous growing Corn and a good ensilage variety. It 
has large, broad grains of a rich golden color. It is not 
a flint variety, but it is a moderately hard corn. Matures 
in about 100 days.
