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 im- 
provement. Unquestionably 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. 
Excellent for hay, ensilage, grain, and 
soil improvement, Ground Soy Beans are 
as good or better than Oil Meal for mix- 
ing with your grains in a balanced dairy

livestock, including hogs and chickens. 
An acre of good Rape will pasture 20 
hogs for two months. Delicious 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 par- 
ticularly desirable for hay and pastur- 
age, especially in times of drouth, 
FIELD 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 dis- 
trict —and conscientious application 
of that knowledge. So you are al- 
‘ways in good hands when you buy 
seed corn here. 
Sorghum — A seed that must be bought 
with special caution because of the dan- 
ger of impurities that will seriously af- 
fect 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 rap- 
idly. Excellent for planting in corn or in 
fruit groves, (Be sure to inoculate.)

GRASSES 
Bermuda — The best foundation for per- 
manent pastures in many territories. 
Needs little moisture. Thrives almost ev- 
erywhere. Does well in combinations. 
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 pas- 
turage because its creeping growth lets 
it stand close grazing. Needs plenty of 
moisture. Especially desirable 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 win- 
ter lawn and pasture problems. Must be 
considered strictly an annual on lawns, 
but if not grazed too closely will reseed 
itself in pastures. 









_ SEED POTATOES 
Our Certified Stocks are the most 
economical you can plant, be- 
cause they reduce your hazards, 
give you bigger production and 
fewer culls. They are true to name 
++.» grown especially for seed 
stock ... more highly disease 
resistant . . . tagged’ for origin. 
Sudan Grass—One of the greatest sum- 
mer grazing crops. Also fine for green 
feed. Keep a small plot near the barn to 
cut and feed green to cows or horses.

Best Lawn Mixture —Our selected lawn 
mixture is the very finest combination of 
high quality seeds ... a marvelous mix- 
ture that years of experimenting has 
proved to be safe and sound. It produces 
a lawn that is like a carpet of green vel- 
vet ... smooth, even, and thick. All the 
grasses in it are fine-bladed and deep- — 
rooting. 
Shade Mixture—Wherever shade makes 
it difficult to obtain a good lawn, our 
special shade mixture is heartily recom- 
mended. Excellent quality, shade-endur- 
ing grasses and clovers... blended into 
a mixture that will give surprising results. 
Bermuda Grass Unhulled — As valuable 
for lawns or golf courses as it is for pas- 
turage—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 certain results: 
Germination, with proper moisture con- 
ditions, takes only 1 to 2 weeks. 
Carpet Grass — Exceedingly hardy. Does 
better in poor, sandy soil than any other 
grass. The more mowing and tramping 
it gets, the better it likes it. Highly desir- 
able for golf courses. . 
Winter Rye—The grass that withstands 
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. 
HOW TO FIGHT CRAB GRASS 
Crab grass is an annual which propagates 
itself by re-seeding. During early growth it 
looks much like grass, but when it matures 
and spreads it is easily recognized by its 
“tingered’’ head. Full grown, it smothers 
out the grass. 
Crab grass doesn’t start until warm weather. 
Therefore, the first step in fighting it is to 
plant plenty of good seed early, and fertil- 
ize early. When the lawn has a vigorous 
start, it doesn’t give the weed an opening. 
Next, before last year’s crab grass seed has 
a chance to sprout, treat the lawn with lead 
arsenate, 20-25 lb. per 1000 sq. ft. applied 
as dust or spray. Damage to the blue grass 
will be avoided if the treatment is followed 
by application of a fertilizer rich in nitrogen. 
Where crab grass actually has appeared, a 
direct chemical attack is necessary. New 
“selective” killers have now been perfect- 
ed which kill the pest without permanent 
injury to the lawn. (Ask us about them.) 
Along with these methods of attack, the or- 
dinary routine of mowing, watering, and 
fertilizing should be regulated to help the 
fight. High cutting helps, because a thick 
mat of grass has a better chance to smother 
crab grass seedlings. 
Watering infrequently but heavily helps, 
too, because the young seedlings can’t 
reach the deep moisture. Fertilizing should 
be done well before the crab grass season, 
or after it.
