SCARIFIED 
, Reuter’s. Crotalaria seed is hand: 
picked, machine cleaned and cured in ’ 
the most approved manner. Our -repu- 
tation stands back of every bag we sell. 
6 seed has a purity of 98% or more 
and germination of 90% or better. In 
recent test plantings, properly cured and 
séarified seed produced eight. times as 
many plants per square yard as com- 
pared to ordinary field-run, non-scarified 
séed, 
885-A Spectabilis, Early Strain. 
A new early strain in every way equal 
to the common variety, but matures 
three weeks earlier and more dwarf in 
erowth. Makes nearly as heavy a ton- 
nage. Can be sown from) March until 
July. More ‘desirable for planting in 
fruit and pecan orchards and will ma- 
ture seed and can be plowed under be,

885 Spectabilis, Late. 4 remark 
able new summer cover crop and. soil

recommended for hay. Requires no fer- 
tilization, no lining, no inoculation. Re- 
seeds itself under favorable conditions. 
Broadcast. just before the last cultiva- 
tion of cotton or corn. It will just 
about. double the crop yields following 
it. Thrives on any_soil. Broadcast 10 
to.15 pounds on well-prepared land from 
March through June, harrowing in not 
over’2 inches, while the soil is moist.

long, thin leaves are of, fine quality. 
It’s two weeks earlier than the Specta- 
bilis. -Grows’' much the. same as the 
other two. types described above. It is 
adapted to sandy loam soils, but does 
well.on high ground. It requires abow

910. The roots are crowded 

with nitrogen gathering nod- 
ules and it is truly a great crop to turn un- 
der for building up* your soil. For hay, 
plants grow erect and bushy not lodging: 
except on ‘rich bottom land. Grows 3. to. 5 
feet high, easily cut ahd cured—stock eat 
it clean with less waste than peavine hay. 
Yields run from 500 to 1,000 pounds per acre, 
Mung Beans do well on sandy to heavy clay 
soil that will grow any kind of grain crop. 
Plant 3 to‘5 pounds per acre-in 3%-foot 
rows. Broadcast 10 to 15 pounds per acre.

884 Macrocarpa. 4°. x 6 at 
summer growing fertilizer crop. 
Loosens and emulsifies the soil. Citrus growers in 
the Imperial and Rio Grande Valley have found it, 
superior to all other fertilizer. crops, making more 
tonnage, quicker: growth and shading the young 
trees during hot -weather. Florida citrus growers 
are commencing : to. plant ‘it liberally. Trucker 
growers. are planting it in a bigger way. _ It requires 
from 8 to 10 weeks’ from time of germination to 
‘time of plowing under. It should be plowed under 
when the seed is in the dough. Attains a height of 
from 8 to 10 feet. Individual plants will make a 
limb spread of from 4 to 6 feet. The foliage is like 
an Acacia, with finely cut small leaves, They decay 
very rapidly. The root ‘growth is very rapid, as 
much as 3 feet from.tip to tip, and 18 inches deep 
in eight weeks. They are entirely covered with 
nodules. If has. no known value other than as a 
fertilizer crop, or‘ for game preserves, Quail are 
- very. fond of the seed, which ‘are produced in abun- 
dance, and are capable of lying on the ground a 
- long while, and remaining in good condition. Citrus 
_ rowers usually drill 30 lbs. of seed to the acre, 
between the trees. Trucker growers should sow 40 
: Ibs. per acre and give a light covering. Cotton and 
corn farmers have found Sesbania the solution of 
keeping up their soils, sowing at the rate of 12. to 
* 20 Ibs. per acre. For the period of growth, we 
know of no legume which is equal as a producer of 
nitrogen. and humus. Cultivation readily kills it. 
Plant only scarified seed that germinates readily,
