Unequalled for hay, pasture and soil-building. 
Adapted to a wider area. than any other known 
legume. Withstands droughts that would kill other crops. In- 
creases the grazing capacity of pastures from twenty-five to fifty 
percent. Grows anywhere—on acid soils, waste lands, worn-out 
gravelly soils and galled hillsides where nothing else of value 
will grow. Reseeds itself every year, even when severely grazed, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. Does well in mix- 
tures in all Southern pasture grasses.

733 The most widely-grown 
variety. Does well over a 
wider territory than other va- 
rieties. The most important 
pasture legume in the South! 
Increases carrying capacity 
of pasture lands from 26 to 
50%. Grows on poor soils, 
including acid types, and sup- 
plies grazing during the sum- 
mer and fall months when 
most pasture plants are suf- 
fering from hot sun. On 
good soil will produce an ex- 
cellent growth, and reaches a 
height of from 18 to 30 
inches. The small stems of 
the plant.make it an easily 
cured hay crop. Seed should 
be planted on a well-prepared 
but firm seed bed in | Feb- 
ruary or March. On grazing 
crops sow 10 to 15 pounds
