Unequalled for hay, pasture and soil - building. 
Adapted to a wider area than any other known le- 
gume. Withstands droughts that would kill other 
creases the grazing capacity of pastures from twenty-five to fifty 
percent... Grows anywhere—on acid soils, waste lands, worn-out 
gravelly soils and galled hillsides where nothing else of value 
will grow. Reseeds itself every year, even when severely grazed, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. Does well in mix- 
tures in all Southern pasture grasses. 
726 Tennessee 76. A selected late -maturing strain of Common 
Lespedeza developed by the Tennessee Experiment Station. In 
shape and size of leaf it is like the original Japan Clover but 
grows much taller and yields a third more hay. Does well in the 
lower cotton belt, and especially popular in western Tennessee 
and North Carolina, Lb. 40c; 5 Ibs. $1.75. For larger quanti- 
ties, see price-list in back of catalog.

COMMON 
733 The most widely-grown 
variety. Does well over a 
wider territory than other va- 
rieties. The most important 
pasture legume in the South. 
Increases carrying capacity 
of pasture lands from 25 to 
50%. Grows on poor soils, 
including acid types, and sup- 
plies grazing during the sum- 
mer and fall months when 
most pasture plants are suf- 
fering from hot sun. On 
good soil will produce an ex- 
cellent growth, and reaches a 
height of ‘from 18 to 30 
inches. The small stems of 
the plant make it an easily 
cured hay crop. Seed should 
be planted on a well-prepared 
but firm seed bed in Feb- 
ruary or March. On grazing 
crops sow 10 to 15 pounds 
per acre. When planted 
alone for hay crop sow 23 
pounds. Lb. .40c3; & Ibs. 
$1.75. For larger quant}
