Prices Not Prepaid—See Yellow Price List Enclosed 
1105—DALLAS GRASS (Paspalum Dilatatum)—A perennial, 
especially popular in the South, starting growth in mid- 
spring and remaining green until frost. When well estab- 
lished it will afford more nutritious grazing, especially in hot, 
dry weather, than any other Southern pasture grass. Besides 
being a_superior pasture grass Dallas is a fairly good hay 
plant. It is adapted to a wide variety of soils, but prefers 
heavy and somewhat moist land. When this unusual grass 
_is combined with the late winter and very early spring 
pasture grasses and clovers as Hop and White Dutch Clover, 
Red Top, and Orchard Grass, a most excellent pasture will 
result which will afford heavy grazing about nine months 
per year. Sow in March and April, earlier in the lower 
South, on well prepared land. Cover little or none. Plant 
10 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 75c; 5 Ibs., $3.50; 10 Ibs., $6.50 
11066—CARPET GRASS—Carpet Grass is one of the most 
valuable pasture grasses for the lower South. It grows on 
poor sandy soils better than Bermuda and does well on most 
any soil with a fair amount of moisture. It spreads rapidly, 
stands closest grazing and heavy trampling. For lawns and 
golf courses it will make a heavy sod and the closer it is 
cut the better it grows. It also does well in pastures with 
Bur Clover, thus giving all year grazing. Sow 15 pounds 
re acre for pasture, twice this for lawns, from March until 
une. 
Price—l1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00 
1108—TIMOTHY—Timothy requires good land for heavy 
yield. If sown with Red Clover the clover will help to 
supply nitrogen. Red Top or Herd’s Grass and Red or 
Alsyke Clover all mature at the same season as Timothy and 
are excellent to sow with it for hay or grazing, increasing 
the yield of hay and pasturage. A good mixture is 6 pounds 
Timothy, 5 pounds Red Top or Herd’s Grass, and 5 pounds 
Alsyke Clover; this mixture will furnish an excellent hay 
and fine pasturage on good loamy soils or on low ground. 
If Timothy and Alsyke Clover are sown together, mix 8 
pounds Timothy and 6 pounds Alsyke. Sow in early fall or 
early spring alone or in mixtures. 
Price—1 Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.00 

Field Of Annual Lespedeza 
LESPEDEZAS 
1061—_COMMON LESPEDEZA—Sow all Lespedezas Feb- 
ruary through April. Lespedeza is the salvation of Southern 
impoverished lands, and it produces a good hay crop on 
more fertile soil Common Lespedeza has never failed to 
grow on any soil in the Middle or Southern States, and while 
it will grow year after year on hard, compact, uncultivated 
soil, it will respond in a marked degree to proper prepara- 
tion. When sowing Lespedeza in a pasture mixture always 
sow Common since it withstands more adversity and closer 
grazing than any other. Sow 20 or 25 pounds per acre in 
winter or early spring. 
Price—1 Ib., 60c; 5 Ibs., $2.50; 10 Ibs., $4.50 
1080—KOBE LESPEDEZA—A taller, improved type of 
Lespedeza which grows much ranker and has larger leaves. 
It has been known to grow 38 inches tall, but usually about 
2 to 24% feet. Possibly due to its rank growth, completely 
shading the ground and thus retaining moisture, it is much 
more resistant to dry weather than other Lespedezas. Ex- 
cellent for pasture and a leading hay variety. Sow 20 to 25 
pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $3.25 
10799—KOREAN LESPEDEZA—The earliest of the annual 
Lespedezas. It comes up early in the spring and grows rap- 
idly, furnishing much earlier pasture than any other variety 
and more nutritious grazing at a time when other grasses 
and clovers are not at their best. It is the only variety that 
can be cut for hay in August and if sufficient moisture is 
available will produce a seed crop before frost. Sow 20 to 
25 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., $1.75 
NITRAGIN 
Pays On All Legumes 
Inoculated plants make more growth and furnish 
more nutritious food. 
1077—SERICEA LESPEDEZA—A Perennial Lespedeza, send- 
ing up new shoots from the crown after cutting or grazing. 
It will grow, thrive and thicken on poor, thin lands and on 
sour soils. We have never known it to be killed by drouth. 
It should not be cut more than twice in a year and will pro- 
duce about four tons per acre of hay almost equal in feeding 
value to Alfalfa. Or, a hay crop may be made from the 
first cutting and later an abundant seed crop can be har- 
vested. For the best quality hay, Sericea should be thick 
and must be cut before the stems become too coarse and 
woody. It also furnishes proportionately more grazing than 
any other Lespedeza. If not cut more than twice a year nor 
grazed too late in the fall it will continue profitable produc- 
tion indefinitely. It is most valuable to plant on soil that is 
too poor and eroded to produce any other profitable crop. 
Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 60c; 5 Ibs., $2.50; 10 Ibs., $4.50
