CROTALARIA YIELDS UP TO 40,000 POUNDS GREEN MATERIAL PER ACRE 
CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
This is truly a marvelous summer cover crop, a yield of 40,000 pounds of green material per 
acre is not uncommon. Splendid soil builder in orchards, etc. Fine with corn planted in same 
rows when corn is planted, or in corn and other farm crops at last cultivation. It will greatly 
increase crop yields following it. It is not offered as a feed crop, or hay crop, though a nearby 
farmer tells us his mules ate it readily. But it is really too valuable as a fertilizer to feed. 
Thoroughly. plow, disc and harrow. the soil. Sow after danger of frost is past, when moisture 
is ‘present, 10 to-15 pounds per acre broadcast or five pounds drilled in three-foot rows, using 
scarified seed only as with Sericea. Firm the soil immediately after planting to conserve the 
moisture, cultivate once or twice when planted in rows. 
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. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib., 55c? 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $3.75. 
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 quickiy as the early type. This strain should be used in all 
cases where early planting is possible.

possible. As soon as frost occurs, dig the roots, cut off the tops and pile on a well drained 
situation, covering with straw or corn stalks and an inch of earth. As it gets colder, increase 
the covering to prevent freezing. Always feed with some dry roughage.

is wet or frozen. You grow them just as you 
would potatoes: Cut them two eyes to the 
piece and plant 2 inches deep, 15 to 18 inches 
apart in 3 to 3l4-foot rows Requires 3 to 5 
bushels to plant an acre. Plant during March
