the second year, but 15 to 20 pounds will secure 
a full crop of seed for harvest the first year. Our

faction. See Red List for quantity prices.

single cutting. Plant very shallow in 3\4-ft. rows 
on a well prepared bed, in late spring, 3 to 4 lbs. 
per acre. 5 Ibs., $2.00; 10 Ibs., $3.25, postpaid.

for folks who want a taller and earlier type and 
who have not had success with ordinary Lespede-
