LESPEDEZA 

Korean Lespedeza 
Makes an excellent hay crop 10 to 20 inches tall, and equal to 
alfalfa in analysis and feed value. Requires no soil prepartion and 
even when closely grazed it grows readily in acid land. Produces two 
to three tons of hay per acre each year and reseeds itself if properly 
cut. Korean Lespedeza makes the best and cheapest pasture in mid- 
summer, for it is practically drought-resistant. It can be cut for hay 
in September. It increases soil fertility and costs less to produce than 
other important legumes. Sow on small grains or on pasture land from 
January 15 to April, 20 lbs. per acre. 
Dodder-free seed. Lb. 10 cts.; 100 lbs. $9.50. 
1 Dodder per oz. Lb. 91% cts.; 100 lbs. $9.00. 
2 Dodder per oz. Lb. 9 cts.; 100 lbs. $8.50. 
Hulled Seed. Dodder Free. Lb. 12 cts.; 100 lbs. $11.00. 
Unhulled Seed 
Sericea Lespedeza 
A drought-resistant soil-improver for almost any soil. After the 
first’year will yield two to four tons of field-cured hay per acre each 
year. Sow 30 to 35 lbs. of unhulled seed per acre from January 
through March; 20 lbs. of hulled or scarified seed in April or May. 
Hulled Seed. Lb. 24 cts.; 100 lbs. $22.50.

MODERN SEED HOUSE 


SEED OATS 
Sow 64 to 90 lbs. per acre 

Oats and other grains yield larger crops of better quality when 
treated with Ceresan to control smut and other diseases. Since we are 
well equipped to treat Oats during the process of cleaning and grad- 
ing, the additional cost is very slight. See page 23 for more detailed 
information on Ceresan and other du Pont products. 
VICLAND OATS 
Vicland Oats is a new, high-yielding disease-resistant variety first 
distributed by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in 
1941. This new variety was grown on about half of the Wisconsin Oat 
acreage in 1943. The result was an increase of not less than 20 million 
additional bushels of Oats for feed. This would not have been possible 
with the older Oat varieties. Little extra effort was invoived in the 
added production of Vicland; and this variety exemplifies the value 
of economy for greater output per man and per acre. Treated seed, 
bus. $1.60; 9-bus. lots, $1.58 per bus. Certified seed, bus. $1.85; 
9-bus. lots, $1.83 per bus. 
LEE GOLDPROOF OATS 
The most popular winter Oats in the southeastern part of the 
country. Is also a favorite for spring crop, when seeded in February 
and early March. Produces large heads of heavy grain and stands up 
well. Supply of seed this year is limited. Treated seed, bus. $1.85; 
9-bus. lots, $1.83 per bus. 
COLUMBIA SPRING 
The leading spring Oats for the Southeast, for it matures before hot 
weather and rust can cause damage, and is usually taller, more uni- 
form and erect. Produces a good yield of large, heavy heads containing 
plump grains, 7 to 10 days before other varieties. Treated seed, bus. 
$1.60; 9-bus. lots, $1.58 per bus. 
FULGRAIN 
Has become very popular in Virginia and other eastern states. 
Early maturing, disease resistant. Stools well and is a vigorous grower. 
Its upright growth of medium height makes it easy to combine. Heads 
are large and well filled with rich reddish yellow plump grains. Bus. 
$1.85; 9-bus. lots, $1.83 per bus. 
SWEDISH SELECT 
A heavy-yielding, extra-heavy variety of Oats that is especially 
recommended for Virginia and West Virginia. Produces a good crop of 
both hay and grain on either light or heavy soil. Tall stalks and large 
heads containing plump, heavy grains. Treated seed, bus. $1.65; 
9-bus. lots, $1.63 per bus.
