Red Clover 
(Trifolium Pratense) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “’B” 
This clover is a very important leguminous 
forage and soil building crop in many sections 
of the United States. It will grow on well 
drained fairly rich soil, but is by no means a 
good clover for the South as a whole. 
It will not grow on soil light in lime content, 
or on hard rundown land, in which the organic 
matter has been exhausted. In the South it is 
only locally grown as a winter crop. 
Sow broadcast, 15 pounds to the acre or 8 
pounds to the acre in drill. Sow in the fall for 
best results. Lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
White Flowering Sweet 
Clover 
(Melilotus Alba Bi) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Sweet Clover requires a firm, well-settled 
seed bed, with only a bit of loose soil on the | 
surface to permit the seed to be covered lightly. 
For spring sowing, soil that has been 
ploughed in the fall is usually in the proper 
shape. Land should be ploughed several months 
or more in advance of sowing of Sweet Clover. 
Should the seed be sown on soil that appears 
to be a bit loose, it will be wise to roll the field 
after sowing. 
Sow in the fall and spring at the rate of 15 
pounds per acre. 
Scarifying of seed hastens the germination. 
Nicholson's Tested White Flowering Sweet 
Clover seed is hulled and scarified, both of 
which help and hasten germination and insure 
you a good stand. 
Sweet Clover is useful for soil improvement, 
for hay, for pasturage, and as a honey plant 
for the bees. 
White Flowering Sweet Clover is a biennial 
and, as a rule, does not bloom the first year 
after planting; the growth is much more rapid 
the second year. With the stimulus of food 
stored in the roots and the second year growth 
starting early in the spring of the second sea- 
son, you are assured a good early pasturage 
or an abundant hay crop. 
The first year’s growth of this plant should 
be used for pasturage. The second year’s 
growth can be used for pasturage as early as 
March—before most summer plants are avail- 
able—and may be pastured throughout the 
early summer. 
In Texas, this great Clover is especially 
adapted to the stiff lands, and even clay soils, 
that are too poor in organic matter to support 
a thrifty growth of Alfalfa or other clovers 
and grasses. Such soil will increase greatly in 
value with each year’s growth of Sweet Clover.

LIFE INTO YOUR LAND 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER IN BLOOM 
Growing Sweet Clover is the best known 
method of building up worn-out lands. Black 
lands especially will respond to Sweet Clover 
where commercial fertilizer fails. 
Sow 15 pounds to the acre in spring or fall. 
Lb., 35c; 2 Ibs., 65c, postpaid. Ask for prices 
in larger quantities. 
SubterraneanClover 
(Trifolium Subterraneumj 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN ’B” 
Subterranean Clover is an annual which, on 
account of re-seeding itself, is permanent when 
once established. 
The lower shoots force their seed pods into 
the soil, from which the Clover probably de- 
rives its name. 
It is also known as "Self Sown' Clover 
and “Carpet Forming’ Clover and is classed 
in Texas as a low growing running annual. 
Sow 20 pounds of seed to the acre. As the 
seeds are reasonably large, can be planted 
with an ordinary grain drill. When planted 
in mixture, sow one-quarter the above amount. 
Plant in fall or spring. Lb., $1.50; 2 lbs., $2.90, 
postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger quanti- 
ties. 
Cow Peas 
Planting Cow Peas is one of the cheapest ways of improving your soil. The entire mature 
plant need not be turned under: It is more economicaf to cut off the vines and cure them for hay. 
After this turn under the stubble and roots. As for a forage and nutritious yielding crop, Cow 
Peas are hard to beat. 
BROWN CROWDER. This is a very fine large 
variety of Peas and is popular as a table Pea 
throughout Texas and the Southwest. Lb., 50c¢; 
2 lbs., 90c, postpaid. Ask for prices in larger

ties. 
BRABHAM. Seeds are similar in appearance 
to Whippoorwill, only smuch smaller and do 
not require to be seeded as thickly as other 
kinds. Are very resistant to disease, practically 
free from nematode, vigorous growth, holding 
their foliage well. Lb. 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
LARGE WHITE BLACK EYE. The large Black 
Eye Peas: are more prolific, better flavored and 
bring a higher price than most any other va- 
riety. Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
CLAY. Vines grow long and very leafy. One 
of the best for enriching soil. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs.,

ties. 
CALICO (Polecat). A heavy viner, free from 
nematode. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. Ask

White Dutch Clover 
(Trifolium Repens) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “B” 
This wonderful clover is a native of Europe, 
but was introduced into this country many 
years ago. It is a low-growing plant and is 
usually seeded in mixture with other clovers 
and grasses. 
White Dutch Clover is a long-lived perennial. 
It is very valuable as a grazing plant; inci- 
dentally, valuable as a honey plant, and for 
soil improvement. You will also find this same 
Clover planted with grasses for a winter lawn 
—and in heavily shaded spots, through the 
summer. It requires a fairly moist soil, with a 
preference for loamy, fertile soils. 
Does well in Bermuda and mixed pastures, 
furnishing grazing in late winter and early 
spring—long before the Bermuda starts. 
When sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds to the 
acre; when planted with other grasses, one- 
fourth the above amount is sufficient. Plant in 
fall or spring. Lb., $1.35; 2 lbs., $2.60, postpaid. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities. : 
TMT 
Land should always have some kind of 
plant growth covering it so that erosion 
will not so quickly steal away its fertility. 
Why not plant legumes? They will not 
only protect your land but will actually 
build it up.
