in the row. Cultivation must be constant and thorough to keep 
down the weeds until the plants are well developed.

CROTALARIA 
A remarkable fast growing legume that produces a heavy growth 
of foliage for humus, and a high percentage of Nitragin from the 
nodules in the roots. It is wonderful for building up poor soil 
too low in fertility for other crops. 
The seed should be sown from April to July 1% inches deep, 
using 6 to 8 Ibs. of seed, if planted in 3 ft. rows; or 20 to 25 Ibs. 
if sown broadcast. For best results, the seed should be scarified 
and inoculated to produce quicker germination. 
One of the best varieties on account of 
its tremendous growth and seed produc- 
Grows rapidly, choking out weeds and grass, and frequently 
will yield ten to fifteen tons of green manure per acre. When 
this is turned back into the soil with the nitrogen gathered by the — 
nodules on its roots, yields of corn and other crops are increased 
enormously. (Not edible.) Lb., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.85, 
postpaid.
