DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE NITROGEN SHORTAGE 
Until the war is over there just won’t be enough nitrogen to 
go around, but fortunately, there is a simple, practical and 
economical way for growers to solve this shortage. Four-fifths 
of the air above our land is nitrogen. It is there for the taking 
by planting legume crops, such as all the clovers, cow peas, 
Beggarweed, Crotalaria, Soy beans and Velvet beans listed and 
described on these pages. An acre of these legume crops takes 
from 50 to 150 lbs. of nitrogen per acre from the air in one 
season. This is as much nitrogen as is contained in 300 to 
1000 lbs. of commercial Nitrate of Soda. 
Never plant any of these nitrogen-fixing legume crops with- 
out inoculating the seed before planting with Nitragin (see 
page 47). Every acre of legumes planted in 1944 for feed or 
cover crop should be inoculated with Nitragin in order to pro- 
vide the land with a good part of the nitrogen it needs. In 
this way you will avoid having nitrogen starved crops and a 
nitrogen starved farm before the war is over. 
We are not bound for any definite time by the prices quoted in this Catalog. 
Due to present uncertain conditions, all prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
Write for special prices on larger quantities. 
We recommend you order early. 
ALYCE CLOVER 
Sow 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Used as a cover crop, soil builder, for hay, and as a pasture 
plant. It has shown great promise especially in Central and 
North Central Florida. Seed should be planted on well pre- 
pared ground and covered very lightly. Planting can be done 
any time from April to July. The crop is similar to alfalfa in 
chemical composition and in nutritive value. It makes a pala- 
table hay. It is a good soil builder, and does well on all types 
of soil, except heavy, wet land; not as well adapted, however, 
to high, dry sandy land as is Crotalaria. Lime soil and inocu- 
late seed with Nitragin before planting. (See page 47.) 
1 lb. 35c, postpaid. 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Sow 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre alone, or 6 to 8 lbs. per acre 
in a mixture. 
Recommended principally for mixtures in perennial pas- 
tures. Furnishes abundant grazing throughout the year in the 
south. Also useful for lawns, especially in mixtures. Does well 
with Bermuda and Dallis Grass. Succeeds best on moist ground 
and during wet seasons. Sow in the late fall and early win- 
ter from October to January. Lime soil and inoculate seed 
with Nitragin before planting. (See page 47.)

BLACK MEDIC CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre alone, 5 to 8 pounds per 
acre in pasture mixtures. 
A wonderful, hardy clover that spreads rapidly. It will thrive 
on most any sweet soil, except the loose, dry sandy and very 
wet, water-soaked types. Seed may be sown in late fall or early 
winter, the earlier the better. It yields an excellent quality of 
hay, and is ideal for permanent pastures for late winter and 
spring grazing, dying down by July. Reseeds itself even with 
closest grazing. Can also be used for a cover crop on culti- 
vated land. Lime soil and inoculate seed with Nitragin. (See 
page 47.) 
1 Ib. 50c, postpaid. 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
PERSIAN CLOVER 
Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre alone, or 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre 
in mixtures. 
Should be planted on every pasture for grazing from De- 
cember until June. Will stand heavier, wetter lands than most 
clovers. Grows well in mixtures. Sow in late fall or early 
winter from October to January. Lime soil and inoculate seed 
with Nitragin before planting. (See page 47.) 
1 tb. 50c, postpaid. 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
CALIFORNIA BUR CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre alone, 5 to 8 pounds per 
acre in pasture mixtures. 
Grows fast, withstands dry weather, and is adapted to nearly 
all soils that are sweet, but will not tolerate very dry er very 
wet soils. Very valuable for grazing and permanent pastures, 
and is also a good soil builder, adding Nitrogen and humus. 
Broadcast seed in late fall or early winter, from October to 
January, and disc in lightly. Lime soil and inoculate seed 
with Nitragin. (See page 47.) 
1 lb. 45c, postpaid. 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
BENNE OR SESAME 
Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre drilled. 
A tall growing annual herb, grows 3 to 5 feet, producing 
flowers followed by seed pods, which shatter the oily seeds 
in great profusion. These seeds are relished by poultry and a 
great use at present is a crop to attract and feed wild birds, 
especially quail and partridges. This is one of the best plants 
that can be grown for poultry feed. Plant from March to July, 
drilling seed thinly in rows three to four feet apart. Cultivate 
the same as corn. Benne matures in about four weeks and 
seeds will continue to develop for about three months after it 
begins to ripen. Benne will do well on any soil suitable for 
corn. We have only the native giant or tall variety.
