CROTALARIA 
THE KING OF SOIL BUILDING CROPS 
It is generally conceded to be one of the best summer soil-build- 
ing crops, makes much more leafy growth and root nodules than 
cow peas or velvet beans, frequently 4,000 pounds per acre. When 
turned under the cash value of nitrogen is estimated at $20.00 per 
acre, besides the untold value of humus which prevents erosion, 
holds water in sandy soil and opens up heavy soil. Yields of fol- 
lowing crops are frequently doubled; completely smothers out 
summer weeds; 8TroOws well on any soil, good or waste land; re- 
quires no lime, fertilizer or cultivation, although early cultivation 
pays as it grows slowly at first. Sow from corn planting time 
through June, 20 lbs. scarified seed per acre broadcast, or 8 lbs, in 
3-foot cultivated rows. Cover 1% inches and roll, Do not plant 
unscarified seed as it germinates pooriy, requiring twice as much 
seed per acre. Our seed is scarified, germinates readily, and is 99% 
pure. Inoculation not necessary but is advisable for larger,.growth. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA 
; Rapidly becoming the most popular of the Crotalaria family. It 
is very outstanding for its mammoth growth and seed production. 
Makes a very rapid growth, offering more resistance to grass and 
weeds. Reports of yields of 15 to 20 tons of green weight per acre 
are not uncommon. When such amounts of organic matter are 
turned back into the soil, together with the nitrogen gathered by 
' the plants, yields of corn and other crops show enormous increases.

Giant Striata is one of the most outstanding le@uminous plants 
known for sandy loam soils. Will thrive on soils that are so low 
in fertility that other crops fail to grow. Seedings have been 
made on plantings of small grains in the early spring in the Caro- 
linas with excellent results; or can be seeded during corn planting 
time. The seed of Giant Striata is smaller in size than the Spec- 
tabilis. Owing to enormous woody growth tractor equipment is 
necessary for turning under the crop.

Showing enormous growth of Giant Striata Crotalaria 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS—The crotalaria for soil im- 
provement on all types of soils. Grows 7 feet tall, yields 15 tons 
or more of green manure, equal to 700 to 1,000 pounds of nitrate of 
soda per acre. Stalks are pithy, easily plowed under and decay 
readily. Is not eaten by livestock or attacked by insect pests, nema- 
todes or other soil diseases. Crotalaria will definitely starve nema- 
todes out of the soil. 
EARLY CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS—<Similar to late, but makes 
1% less growth, matures a month earlier. Will make a seed crop in 
Virginia and the Carolinas. 
CROTALARIA INTERMEDIA—The only palatable crotalaria 
strain relished by animals. Furnishes two cuttings of hay. Long, 
thin leaves of fine quality. Two weeks earlier than Late Spec- 
tabilis.

SEED PEANUTS 
Will grow on any soil. Light sandy soils 
produce the best quality, easier to harvest, 
Yields much more meat per acre than corn. 
The vines are superior to alfalfa in fat, 
nearly equal in protein and will feed live- 
stock throughout the winter and spring. 
Nuts left in the ground will fatten hogs 
and give the pork a superior flavor. 
PLANT in May or early June, 6 to 10 
inches apart in 2 to 2% foot rows. Our 
seed is not shelled. Order 60 lbs. per acre 
and shell before planting. Inoculate. Cul- 
tivate shallow and frequently until nuts 
begin to form. To harvest, loosen the roots 
with a plow, pull up the vines, allow the 
nuts to dry, and stack around a stake, turn- 
ing the nuts inward, and keeping them off 
the ground with cross stakes or brush. Pea- 
nuts require lime, phosphate and potash. 
Use 200 to 400 Ibs, per acre of 2-12-4 fer- 
tilizer. 
PRAYING peanuts with Bordeaux Mix- 
~~ ture 3 times during July and August in- 
creased yields 42% at the Virginia Experi- 
ment Station. 3 dustings with sulphur in- 
creased the yield 25%.

Bunch type. The most profitable nut for 
average conditions as it produces large, 
well-filled pods containing 3 or 4 nuts on 
a wide variety of soils, where other large 
podded varieties yield many pops. It has 
the most delicious flavor, is best for home 
use and brings a premium ‘on the market.
