1053—RED CLOVER (Medium Red Blossom)—Red Clover 
not only furnishes excellent pasturage and abundant hay 
crops, but enriches the land and adds humus to the soil. It 
is second in food value only to alfalfa. It makes two or 
more cuttings of hay each season, and can be sown alone or 
in combination with other clovers and grasses. Sow seed 
during the spring or fall at the rate of 12 to 20 pounds to the 
acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 85c; 5 Ibs., $4.00 
1055—ALSYKE_ CLOVER (Delicate Pink Blossom)—This is 
one of the hardiest varieties known. It is perennial and does

1066-—HOP CLOVER (Yellow Blossom)—Grows about 6 to 8 
inches high. Its growing season is from very early spring 
until early summer. Especially valuable for pasture when 
sown very early with Japan Clover on Bermuda sod or with 
any grasses, clovers or mixtures which do not make a heavy 
early spring growth. It is the earliest and fastest growing 
clover adapted to Southern soils and climates. Sow 4 to 5 
pounds alone or 2 pounds to acre in mixtures. 
Price—1 Ib., $1.00; 5 Ibs., $4.50 
1056—WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (White Blossom) —Will grow 
on almost any soil. Largely used for sowing on lawns, mixed 
with Kentucky Blue Grass and other grass seeds, and is 
very valuable because it supplies nitrogen to the soil, thereby 
aiding other plants in the sod and building up soil fertility. 
Furnishes abundant early and late fall grazing and should be 
used in all permanent pastures. Sow in fall or early spring. 
Price—1 Ib., $1.50; 5 Ibs., $7.00 
1060—CRIMSON CLOVER (Scarlet Blossom)—Succeeds on 
almost any good soil. Don’t fail to sow your Lespedeza and 
Bermuda sod to this winter annual at the rate of 20 pounds 
per acre in October without any preparation. It will furnish 
an abundance of late winter and early spring grazing. Sown 
at the rate of 15 pounds per acre on a prepared seed bed 
any time after August 15th and up to October Ist, or can be 
sown in early corn, covering shallow, during August, using 
15 ee to the acre. Crimson Clover furnishes good hay 
and adds fertility to the soil. 
1062—GIANT SOUTHERN BUR CLOVER—Seed should be 
sown broadcast on a prepared seed bed, 100 pounds per acre, 
or in cotton middles, using 50 to 60 pounds per acre. Cover 
shallow. Sow in July, August, September, or, in lower South, 
October. You will find this a splendid crop to grow for soil 
building. Bur Clover and Bermuda Grass make a splendid 
combination for permanent pasture which is excellent for all] 
livestock. Bur Clover will grow on almost all types of soil 
and can be depended on to add humus and nitrogen to the 
soil annually without sacrificing the regular summer crop, 
and is one of the cheapest legumes that serve as a winter 
cover crop. If it is allowed to mature 
a crop of seed before plowing under it 
will reseed itself for a number of years.

PERSIAN CLOVER 
not winter kill. It will do better on moist land than any other variety of clover, 
and is suitable for either hay or pasture. When sown with grasses, it forms a 
thick undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. It is frequently sown both 
with Red Top Grass and Timothy, and the quality of hay thus produced is excel- 
lent. It is fine-stemmed and leafy, and thus is quickly cured. 
Sow alone for hay or pasture 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. An excellent hay or pasture 
mixture on low, wet land is Alsyke 5 lbs., Red Top 5 lbs., Timothy 6 Ibs. 
Price—1 Ib., 70c; 5 Ibs., $3.00 
1057—-SWEET CLOVER (White Blossom)—There is probably no crop that will 
improve soil fertility as fast as Sweet Clover and it will grow on any type of soil, 
provided it is well limed and inoculated. It grows two years from one seeding 
and no other plant will furnish as much nutritious grazing per acre as sweet 
clover; or, it will produce two heavy cuttings of hay the first year, one the second 
year and a seed crop. Sow 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. 
; Price—1 Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75 
CROTALARIA 
A legume that frequently produces 30,000 pounds of green manure per acre. When 
turned under the cash value of the 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 following crops are mequently doubled. Completely 
smothers out summer weeds. Grows well on any soil. Crotalaria probably will 
make more growth on sandy and light poor soil than any other legume. Requires 
no lime, fertilization or cultivation, although early cultivation pays. Sow 15 to 20 
pounds per acre broadcast or 5 pounds in rows after danger of frost. Our seed is 
scarified and germinates readily. SHOULD BE INOCULATED. TAKES SAME 
INOCULATION AS COW PEAS. 
1270—EARLY CROTALARIA—Most desirable for planting in upper South since 
it grows more rapidly. Should be used more as a catch crop after oats or sown 
just before the last cultivation of corn, cane or cotton in the central and lower 
South. E 
Price—1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00 
1271—LATE CROTALARIA—Although it makes about a foot more growth than 
any other Crotalaria, averaging 7 feet high, and will yield 15 or more tons of green 
manure per acre, does not make its maximum growth as quickly as the early type. 
This strain should be used in all cases where early planting is possible. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00 
Furnishes splendid grazing from early 
spring until June. Yields 2 to 3 tons of 
rich, palatable hay per acre. Cures very 
quickly. An excellent soil builder. Re- 
seeds itself even when closely grazed 
and spreads rapidly. Grows well in mix- 
tures, and is often planted with White 
Dutch, Bermuda and Dallis Grass. It 
has a deeper root system than White 
Dutch and requires less moisture for 
its success. It grows equally well on 
clay or loamy soils, other conditions be- 
ing favorable. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per 
acre. 
Postpaid—1 Ib., $1.25; 5 Ibs., $5.75. 


LADINO WHITE CLOVER 
Sow it for a year ’round pasture. U. 
S. Department of Agriculture says: “La- 
dino is the largest growing form of 
white clover. It is similar to White 
Dutch, but grows twice as large.” It is 
a long lived perennial, excellent for 
grazing, as well as producing a most 
nutritious and palatable hay crop. The 
stems run on the ground, taking root. 
It is not subject to alfalfa diseases and 
is ideal to plant after alfalfa. It does 
not bloat livestock as much as other 
clovers, but is safer to plant with pas- 
palum, timothy, red top, meadow fes- 
cue, Kentucky blue, orchard, carpet and 
rye grass. 
Postpaid—1 1b., $2.50; 3 Ibs., $7.35; 5 
Ibs., $12.00.
