884 Macrocarpa. 4 great 
summer growing fertilizer crop. 
Loosens and emulsifies the soil. Citrus growers in 
the Imperial and Rio Grande Valley have found it 
superior to all other fertilizer erops, making more 
tonnage, quicker growth and shading the young 
trees during hot weather. Florida citrus growers 
are commencing to plant it liberally. Trucker 
growers are planting it in a bigger way. It requires 
from 8 to 10 weeks from time of germination to 
time of plowing under. It should be plowed under 
when the seed is in the dough. Attains a height of 
from 8 to 10 feet. Individual plants will make a 
limb spread of from 4 to 6 feet. The foliage is like 
an acacia, with finely cut small leaves. They decay 
very rapidly. The root growth is very rapid, as 
much as 3 feet from tip to tip, and 18 inches deep 
in eight weeks. They are entirely covered with 
nodules. It has no known value other than as a 
fertilizer crop, or for game preserves. Quail are 
very fond of the seed, which are produced in abun- 
dance, and are capable of lying on the ground a 
long while, and remaining in good condition. Citrus 
growers usually drill 30 lbs. of seed to the acre, 
between the trees, ‘Trucker growers should sow 40 
Ibs. per acre and give a light covering. Cotton and 
corn farmers have found Sesbania the solution of 
keeping up their soils, sowing at the rate of 12 to 
20 Ibs, per acre. For the period of growth, we 
know of no legume which is equal as a producer of 
nitrogen and humus. Cultivation readily kills it. 
Plant only scarified ‘seed that germinates readily. In- 
oculate with NITRAGIN. Lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 70c.

REUTER SEED CO., Inc., New Orleans 

885 Spectabilis, Late. A remark- 
able new summer cover crop and soil 
builder yielding 40,000 pounds of green 
weight per acre. The humus produced 
by such yield is of tremendous value. 
When turned under is the equivalent of 
800 pounds of Nitrate of Soda. It is not 
recommended for hay. Requires no fer- 
tilization, no lining, no inoculation. Re- 
seeds itself under favorable conditions. 
Broadcast just before the last cultiva- 
tion of cotton or corn. It will just 
about double the crop yields following 
it. Thrives on any soil. Broadcast 10 
to 15 pounds on well-prepared land from 
March through June, harrowing in not 
over 2 inches, while the soil is moist.

885-B Intermedia. *The only Crotala- 
ria that is relished by live-stock. Fur- 
nishes several cuttings of hay. The 
long, thin leaves are of fine quality. 
It’s two weeks earlier than the Specta- 
bilis. Grows much the same as the* 
other two types described above: is 
adapted to sandy loam soils, but does 
well on high ground. It requires about 
3 to 5 pounds to sow an acre planted 
in rows 3 to 3% feet apart, 8 to 10 
pounds broadcasted. _ Seed should be 
planted 1% to 2 inches deep _ as soon 
as danger of frost is past. Cultivate 
the same as corn. Makes a splendid 
cover crop to plow under. Lb. 40c; 5 
lbs. $1.75. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $2.60; 
100 Ibs. $24.00.

feet high, easily cut and cured—stock eat 
it clean with less waste than peavine hay.
