PLANT CLOVERS--FOR SOIL BUILDING 
A FIELD OF HUBAM CLOVER 
Black Medic 
(Medicago Lupulina) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Black Medic is also known in some sections 
as Yellow Trefoil. It is a good spreading an- 
nual plant for winter growing. Has a bright 
yellow bloom, similar in shape but smaller in 
size than White Dutch Clover. The plant gets its 
eas from the black color of the mature seed 
pods. 
It re-seeds itself freely and yields a very 
nutritious pasturage. Black Medic has proven 
to be one of the most valuable additions to 
Bermuda pastures on lime soils and is certainly 
worthy of extensive trial on all types of soil. 
Black Medic is closely related to Alfalfa and 
Bur Clover. In North Texas Black Medic will 
grow about a month longer than Bur Clover. 
The usual rate of seeding is 15 pounds to the 
acre. Sow the seed in September, October or 
the first half of November, also in February 
and March. Plant on established pastures or 
in mixtures with other grasses and clovers, two 
or three pounds to the acre are sufficient. Will 
re-seed itself even under rather close grazing. 
Lb., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Please ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
Crimson Clover 
(Trifolium Incarnatum)) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “BB” 
An annual winter growing legume with abil- 
ity to grow and make its crop during the fall 
and early spring. 
This clover also has a record of growing on 
poorer soil than other clovers, as it is not 
particularly dependent on lime. 
Plant in August, September or October, sow- 
ing 20 pounds of seed to the acre when planted 
alone; four or five pounds to the acre when 
planted in mixture. Lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.10, post- 
paid. Please write for prices in larger lots. 
RESEEDING 
Crimson Clover 
This strain of Crimson Clover will reseed 
itself in practically all areas where the regular 
Crimson Clover is adapted. It of course can not 
be pastured at seed making time. There has 
been a great deal of this clover planted in 
Texas and surrounding states this Fall and re- 
sults will be watched with interest. It has done 
exceptionally in the states of Alabama and 
Georgia. Plant in October and November. Drill 
10 to 15 pounds to the acre or broadcast 15 to 
20 pounds to the acre. Lb.,90c; 2 Ibs., $1.75, 
postpaid. Write for prices in larger lots. 
Hop Clover 
(Trifolium Dubium) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN ‘'B” 
Hop Clover makes a rather upright growth 
under practically all conditions. A single plant, 
however, with ample space will spread. Hop 
Clover is especially adapted to sandy soil and 
waste land. It will thrive on such soils, thus 
adding to the pasturage, and is readily eaten, 
especially when young. When planted on rich 
soil, it will produce larger plants with more 
foliage. When planted in the fall the plants 
will make a slow growth through the winter, 
but will come out very rapidly in the early 
spring. By the last part of March it will make 
excellent grazing. 
As the seeds are small, it requires only four 
or five pounds to sow an acre; only one pound 
when planted in mixture. Plant in the fall or 
early spring. Lb., 80c; 2 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
Hubam Clover 
(Melilotus Alba Annua) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
This is annual White Flowering Sweet Clovei 
and grows more rapidly than the biennial vari- 
ety the first year; in fact, it grows so rapidly 
that it will even crowd out weeds, if planted 
broadcast. It is a dandy clover for both pasture 
and hay and also does well when planted 
with oats or other small grains. Practically the 
same as the biennial in tood value and chem 
ical analysis. Will re-seed itself. 
Plant in fall and spring, using fifteen pounds 
of seed to the acre. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, post- 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
Ladino Clover 
(Trifolium Repens) 
Ladino clover is gaining in popularity and 
does well in areas where White Dutch Clover 
thrives. Well drained soils with a continuous 
supply of moisture is the best for this clover as 
it is not drought resistant. Can be planted in 
Spring or Fall. It is a perennial clover with 
great promise for permanent pastures—where 
adapted. Broadcast 4 to 5 pounds per acre. Lb., 
$2.85; 2 lbs., $4.60, postpaid. Please write for 
prices in larger lots. 
LESPEDEZA 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “’L” 
Lespedeza spreads over the ground, forming 
a dense carpet growth. It will re-seed itseli 
under practically all conditions. 
You will do well to give fee soil a light 
preparation for the planting of Lespedeza, as it 
will assist the germination. This does not apply 
to most other clovers. i 
Where sown by itself, use 25 pounds of seed 
per acre broadcast. Where mixed wih other 
clovers and grasses, use about one-quarter o1 
one-fifth of the above amount. 
Common Lespedeza 
(Lespedeza Striata) 
This is the variety of Lespedeza that has 
grown throughout the South for many years. 
Lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. Ask for prices 
in larger quantities. 
Kobe Lespedeza 
This variety is larger than the regular Les 
pedeza, a vigorous grower and maturing abou 
the same time as the regular Lespedeza, anc 
is well adapted for both pasture and hay crop 
Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c, postpaid. Ask for prices 
in larger quantities. 
Korean Lespedeza 
(Lespedeza Stipulacea) 
This is a valuable pasture plant, doubling 
the carrying capacity of the native grass pas- 
ture when it is most luxuriant through July, 
August and September, just at a time when 
many other grasses and clovers are not at 
their best. 
Korean Lespedeza differs from the regular 
Lespedeza in the larger and heavier growth. 
Lb., 40c; 2 Ibs., 75c, postpaid. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities. 
Lespedeza Sericea 
It is a perennial plant; you can, therefore 
depend on it increasing in value each season— 
the increased number of stems coming from the 
crown of the plant. It is extremely leafy; how- 
ever, the leaflets are about one-half the size oi 
Alfalfa leaves, It must be cut for hay at the 
proper time, otherwise the stems will be woody. 
Experimental tests have proven that it will 
thrive on soils too sour for Alfalfa and most 
clovers. 
Its place appears to be as a hay and pasture 
crop on soils too sour and too poor for the 
profitable production of Alfalfa or clover. It, oi 
course, also does well on better soils. Lb., 50c; 
2 lbs., 90c, postpaid. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
MADRID CLOVER—See Sweet Clover, page 42. 
Melilotus Indica 
(Annual Yellow Blossom Clover) 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Sometimes called Yellow Blossom Sweet 
Clover and also spoken of as Sour Clover, The 
chief use of this Clover has been for early pas- 
turage and soil improvement, and is rapidly 
becoming recognized as a wonderful plant to 
plow under for green manure. 
This plant, like many other clovers, thrives 
best on lime soils; however, it has been suc- 
cessfully grown on other types of soils. Its use 
should be extended more widely for winter 
pasturage and as a winter cover crop, espe- 
cially on stiff lands. 
The land is seldom prepared for Melilotus 
Indica. Instead, the seeds are sown with those 
of early fall grains or between the rows oi 
some summer crop, or even broadcast over 
unplowed land. 
Plant in September, October or November at 
the rate of 15 pounds to the acre, or about four 
pounds to the acre when planted with clovers 
and grasses. It will grow through the entire 
winter and is just the plant to build up run- 
down soils. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 10 Ibs., $1.80. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
Persian Clover 
(Trifolium Resupinatum) 
An annual clover adapted to the South on 
moist heavy clay soils, also on irrigated lands. 
Makes excellent pasture and hay. Broadcast 15 
pounds to the acre. Crop failed.
