later than Scarborough. Lb. : 
(Inoculate with Nitragin) 
There is no cheaper means of improving 
our soils than by sowing Cow Peas. It is 
not necessary to turn under the crop of vines 
to improve the soil. More economical to cut 
off the vines and cure them as a hay crop, 
and then turn under the stubble and roots. 
Cow Peas make one of the largest yielding 
and most nutritious forage crops grown. 
Sow broadcast in April, May, June or July, 
at the rate of 1 to 14% bushels per acre, or 
they may be planted in drills, using from 12 
to 15 pounds per acre. 
WHIPPOORWILL — A favorite early, up- 
right-growing variety, more largely used and 
sold than any other kind. 
Lb. 20c, not postpaid. 
BRABHAM—-Seeds are similar with appear- _ 
ance to Whippoorwill, only much 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. 20, not postpaid. 
CALIFORNIA BLACK EYE — The large 
Black Eye Peas are more prolific, better fla- 
vored and bring a higher price than most 
any other variety. 
Lb. 25c, not postpaid. 
CLAY — Vines grow long and very leafy. 
One of the best for enriching soil. 
Lb. 20c, not postpaid. 
CHINESE RED — An excellent variety for 
soil improvement. Plants dwarf, erect, of 
uniform maturity, pods small, round, held 
high. Seeds very small, hard, sound, pale 
red to red. Lb. 26c, not postpaid.

to Brown Crowder, darker in color and speckl- 
ed. Lb. , hot postpaid. 
AUSTRIAN PEAS 
This wonder plant makes a heavy vine 
growth that will 
plowed under. 
As a cover crop, it only needs ten to twelve 
pounds of growth to each 10 feet square, to 
plow under for fertilizer. It therefore can 
be planted in South Texas as early as the 
first of January. Other crops planted on 
the same soil, following the plowing under 
of Austrian Peas, will show a _ tremendous 
decay very rapidly when 
increase in yield. Cattle, sheep, and hogs 
will graze on a field of Austrian Peas and 
enjoy it. A greater tonnage of hay can he 
obtained when planted with oats, the oats 
acting as a support for the peas and en- 
ecouraging their growth. 
The most economical manner is to plant 
Austrian Peas in rows. In doing this, one 
should plant in three-foot rows such as in 
planting corn, then turn back and plant be- 
tween the rows, thus giving you 8-inch rows 
when finished. It requires only 30 pounds to 
plant an acre in this way. 
If wanted for pasture or hay, sow broadcast, 
60 pounds to the acre; also 60 pounds to the 
acre when sown with an ordinary grain drill. 
Lb. not postpaid. 
CANADA FIELD — Grows 4 to 6 feet high, 
and can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches high. 
Pasturizing the peas makes them stool out 
better. It is a. good idea when sowing the 
peas to mix a bushel of oats, barley, or wheat 
with 50 pounds of peas per acre. This makes 
a fine mixture and makes good hay. If sown 
alone, sow about 75 pounds per acre, broad- 
cast. Crop of this kind is splendid to plow 
under for green manure. Also used as a table 
pea and is only excelled by the English Peas. 
Lb. 15c, not postpaid. 
CREOLE PEAS — Have the outstanding 
characteristics of being definitely resistant to 
various diseases that are a problem when 
growing other varieties of English Peas. They 
are also immune to root rot, mildew and in- 
sect pests. Withstand our coldest winter and 
do well during hot weather. 
Pods are 3 to 3% inches long and packed 
with 5 to 7 deliciously sweet, smooth, green 
peas of a distinctly superior flavor. Retains 
its tenderness and sweetness after it is fully 
matured. Vines average 6 to 7 feet in height 
and carry an enormous crop. Pkt. 10c; Ib 20c, 
not postpaid. 
If you want larger quantities of Peas, write 
us, stating quantity wanted and we will 
quote you lowest prices. 
SOY BEANS 
MAMMOTH YELLOW — Most popular, 
largest yielder. Grows 8 to 5 feet high. 
Should not be planted until danger of frost is 
past. For hay and as a soil builder sow 2% 
bu. per acre broadcast; for beans plant 15 to 
30 pounds per acre in drills 3 feet apart. 
Lb. 20c, not postpaid. 
LAREDO SOY BEANS — The Laredo 
makes many slender branches and the plants 
are leafy. both of which go to make an ideal 
bean for hay. It is particularly adapted to 
sections where wilt and nematoed are pre- 
valent, as it has proven resistant to these 
troubles. Lb. 20c, not postpaid. 
EDIBLE — See page 1. 
VETCH 
HAIRY VETCH — Used extensively for 
hay and grazing interplanted with rye, which 
protects the young vetch from cold dry winds 
and supports the growing vine. An import- 
ant soil builder. Plants hairy, viny, trailing, 
stems terminated by braded tendrils, flowers 
many and of a bluish color. Lb. 20c not post- 
paid. 
COMMON — A very early maturing, non- 
hardy vetch. Grows rapidly during the cool 
moist periods of early fall and spring. Plants 
semi-viny, having slightly larger leaves and 
stems than Hairy Vetch. Ideal for soil build- 
ing, grazing and hay. Lb. 15¢ not postpaid. 
GRASS SEED 
BERMUDA GRASS — Almost everybody 
living in this section of the country knows 
this grass. It is planted as a lawn grass, and 
nothing will stand the sun better, or will 
make a prettier carpet, when kept short, than 
this grass. It is also very valuable as a 
pasture and hay grass, which heretofore had 
to be propagated by the roots. Lb. 75e. 
FANCY HULLED BERMUDA GRASS — 
This is the same as our Fancy Bermuda Grass, 
but the hull is removed. This operation has- 
tens germination. Many of our customers 
have reported to us that their plantings of 
the hulled seed have come up in seven to ten 
days after sowing. Lb. $1.00. 
FANCY CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Com- 
pressus) — A perennial, spreading by creep- 
ing stems which root at every joint, thus 
forming a close, compact turf. Flourishes on 
land short in lime, thrives under grazing and 
trampling. Will stand more close grazing, 
trampling, grazing and overflow than any 
pasture grass known. Lb. 60c. 
RYE GRASS (Lolium Italicum) — The seed 
we handle is American grown, of the Italian 
variety. 
Of all the grasses for winter and spring 
pasture, we consider Rye Grass to be one of 
the best. Each plant, under favorable condi- 
tions, makes a round bunch with 20 or more 
shoots. Many varieties of Rye Grass are in 
use, but the American grown seed of the 
Italian variety is by far the best for the 
South. It is exceptionally hardy, standing 
very cold weather, and stays green all during 
the winter, spring and early summer. 
Rye Grass is an annual, and, if allowed to 
go to seed, will re-seed itself and come up 
again when the weather gets cool in the fall. 
It makes excellent grazing for-all kinds of 
livestock, and, if cut for hay, single cuttings 
will yield one to two tons of hay per acre. 
[t grows from one and one-half to two and 
one-half feet high. Lb. 30c. 
SUDAN GRASS — Stands dry weather and 
does not blight under ample rainfall. It is an 
annual, the seed having to be sown every year. 
Like the sorghum crops, it must be planted 
each spring, and dies when frost comes. The 
number of cuttings per season, therefore, de- 
pends on the length of the season. Usually 
matures in ninety days from first cutting. 
Its feeding values mark it as one of the de- 
pendable crops for every farmer. Lb. 15¢ not 
postpaid. 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS — Sweet and 
juicy stalk, non-shattering seed habit, a dis- 
tinct sienna colored seed and disease resistant. 
The plants are sweet and juicy, more resist- 
ant to foliage disease and chinch bugs than 
common Sudan and remain green and grow- 
ing later in fall. Grazing tests have indi- 
cated that live stock prefer Sweet Sudan to 
Common Sudan, and the coarse stems are 
eaten readily. Lb. 30c, not postpaid. 
RHODES GRASS — Chloris Gayana) — 
Rhodes Grass is a perennial hay and pasture 
crop. It is especially adapted to all sections 
of the South where the winter temperature 
does not go below 18 degrees. Colder than 
this it will probably winter-kill. : 
The grass spreads by runners on top of the 
ground. These runners may be six feet long, 
with joints every six inches or so, taking root 
and throwing up new plants. In this way it 
covers the ground rapidly. The frequent 
joints and the many crowns make it an ideal 
pasture crop. Broadcast 12 pounds of seed 
per acre, going over the field twice sowing 
6 pounds each way. Lb. 80c, n6t postpaid. 
DALLIS GRASS (Paspalum Dilatatum) — 
Dallis Grass is a perennial, and is not a pest. 
It grows continuously, except in freezing wea- 
ther, a smaller growth in proportion to the 
degree of dryness. While it does not grow in 
freezing weather, it comes nearer growing all 
the year around than any other grass. Dallis 
Grass will gradually choke out Johnson Grass 
and other weeds, if grazed fairly close. It 
needs only a start, in order to stop washes 
and gullies. It is very easy to eradicate, one 
plowing will kill it out. Lb. 60c, not postpaid. 
RESCUE GRASS — Grows best in rich 
moist adobe and limestone soils during the 
cool moist periods of fall and spring months. 
Stems numerous, spreading to erect, leaves 
abundant, with long leaf blades, seed heads 
tall, loose and open. Lb. 5 
, JOHNSON GRASS — Regarded as a pest 
in cultivated fields. This is a nutritious sum- 
mer grazing grass well adapted to clay soils 
in river bottoms and uplands where it gives 
protection and grazing on fields no longer 
wanted for cultivated crops. Yields a fair 
quantity of hay. Lb. A

varieties of grass seed not listed in cat- 
alogue. We will appreciate your in- 
quiry and try to secure same for you. 

MILLET 
FANCY BIG GERMAN — The most popular 
of all the Millet for hay or seed. It matures 
in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. If wanted 
for hay it should be cut while in bloom, as 
the hay quality decreases as soon as the seed 
hardens in the head. Our variety of Millet 
is best and you will find it superior to any 
variety. Lb. 20c, not postpaid. 
HOG MILLET or PROSO — The seed is 
large for Millet and makes a rich food. Good 
for hogs or chickens. The seed ripens while 
the stem is yet green, so that if cut promptly 
you can get a crop of seed and also one of 
fodder or ensilage. Lb. 20c, not postpaid.
