“Certified” EARLY 19604 LESPEDEZA 
Is becoming more and more of vital importance. Farmers are real- 
izing what it is doing and the acreage is expanding fast. One of 
our certified growers tells us that no farmer should be without 
at least a few acres of early Lespedeza. During hot summer 
months when many pasture crops are dormant, this crop is beautiful 
dark green and making its best growth. It has a great producing 
capacity at the time of the year you need it most, It provides an 
abundance of high protein feed and enriches the land like other 
legumes, _ 
Another big feature about early 19604 is that your seeding makes 
an early start and grows more vigoriously than ordinary Korean. 
The seed is mature, ahead of regular Korean, giving it an oppor- 
tunity to reseed itself and for the harvest of a seed crop, where 
often times Korean is caught by unfavorable weather. 
“CERTIFIED SEED’—We have a very limited amount of Missouri 
_ State Certified seed. While priced a little higher than non-certi- 
fied, we believe that you will find it better and certainly more 
desirable, if you are going to harvest your crop for seed another 
season. Send your order early while we can supply you.

“Non-Certified” EARLY 19604 LESPEDEZA 
We have a number of farmers who produce Early 19604 Les- 
pedeza Seed, “non-certified,” exclusively for us. These fields 
were planted from certified seed. The seed crops are har- 
vested early and the seed is cleaned in our own mills, We 
have large quantities of non-certified seed even though the 
supply of Early Lespedeza is short this year. _ We believe that 
you will be well satisfied with our “non-certified seed. We 
pride ourselves in our cleaning and believe that we do as good 
a job as can be done. See the field seed price list which came 
with this catalog for prices.

VARIETY 


NEW! *x) ary Lespedeza lowa 81 
We offer a very limited quantity of “State Certified’’ seed of this new early variety 
Towa-81. Iowa-81 atieinaid in Iowa, as a wilt resistant selection of 19604. The field 
from which our seed originates has beenwatched very closely. We have found it free 
from bacterial wilt. Our observation also reveals a stem and leaf of finer growth. It 
grows equally as tall as 19604, if not slightly taller which should make it even more de- 
sirable for hay than its original parent. We know that there is not sufficient seed avail- 
able for everyone to try this variety, but as long as it lasts, we will fill your order prompt- 
ly—order early!

There has been a great many new varieties of Oats developed during the past few 
years. These are produced by crossing the different good disease resistant varieties. 









Korean | Sericea Lespedeza 
Lespedeza 
We are in the heart of one of 
the largest and best produc- 
ing sections. We have har- 
vested some very fine seed 
while probably not enough. 
We can take care of our cus- 
This is a perennial strain of Lespedeza. This means that once established it starts 
from the roots each Spring. The first year of growth is often slow but after it is 
once established it starts out very early in the Spring. It grows much taller than 
Korean, has a greater root system, and very superior as a soil builder. We have 
found it extremely hardy in this climate, To get a good stand, we believe the seed 
should be covered. We believe you would like to have at least a part of your 
acreage in Sericea. 
Early Maturing — Combine Type “State Certified” 
tomers if you order early. 
We clean our “Sure Brand’ 
Lesepdeza to better than 
99% pure. Most lots run as 
high as 99.50% and 99.75% 
pure. We believe you will 
find our Lespedeza priced 
right for quality seed.

Genuine Achenbach Strain—Kansas Grown 
True Achenbach Brome is very scarce this year. Very little seed was harvested in Kansas. 
We were very fortunate in purchasing a fine quantity of Certified “Blue Tag” genuine Achen- 
bach Brome. Enough to supply our regular trade, providing we have your order early. Ach- 
enbach is the Southern strain which is the most satisfactory for Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, 
and Arkansas. We have priced this seed at not more than others are asking for Northern 
grown seed. We can also supply a limited quantity of non-certified Achenbach, Kansas 
grown. You will find both of these lots of seed priced on the field seed price list that came 
with this catalog. Be sure and order early while we can supply GENUINE ACHENBACH. 

Mindo has been developed by the State of Minnesota. It has proven extremely sat- 
isfactory in Missouri, being considerably earlier than Columbia. The straw is very 
stiff, combines nicely, and yields in our seed ‘fields were equally as good as other va- 
rieties. See the field seed price list which came with this catalog for prices. 
CLINTON “State Certified” 
Clinton Oats are becoming very popular in this territory. We sold several thousand 
bushels last season. Being unusually resistant to MHelminthosporium blight, it has 
a very strong straw, stands up even after the crop has ripened. They may be left to- 
fully mature for|}combining. Clinton is about a week earlier than Columbia and 
about a week later than Cherokee and Mindo. Our Clintons are State Certified, come 
to you with Blue Tags. We are pricing them very reasonable this year. Look on the- 
field seed price list which comes with this catalog for price. 
CHEROKEE 
Cherokee is one of the best crosses that has been made to date, The Cherokee is a- 
selection from the same cross as the Clinton Oat. There is, however, quite a differ-- 
ence between them. Difference in appearance, in habit of growth, and Size of grain. 
Cherokee is a little more plump, more compact, straw is shorter than Clintons, maybe 
not as strong but stands up well. The early maturity of Cherokee is an important. 
factor for this section. We hope that you will plant this new variety. You will find the: 
price of Cherokee on the field seed price list which came with this catalog.
