_Reuter’s. Crotalaria seed is hand- 
icked, machine cleaned and cured, in 
RHE’ rabst approved manner. Our repu- 
tation stands back of every bag we sell 
and the seed’ will represent the very best 
this season has produced. In recent test 
‘seed produced eight times as many 
plants per square yard as compared to 
1885-A Spectabilis, Early Strain. 
A new early strain in every way equal 
to the common variety, but matures 
‘three weeks earlier and more dwarf in 
growth. Makes nearly as heavy a ton- 
nage. Can-be sown from March until 
July. More desirable for planting in 
fruit and pecan orchards and will ma- 
ture seed and can be plowed under be- 
fore the nuts fall. Customers in upper 
South should plant this type. Lb. 55c;

884 Macrocarpa. 4 great 
summer growing fertilizer crop. 
Loosens and emulsifies .the soil. 
the. Imperial and Rio Grande Valley have found it 
superior to all other fertilizer crops, making more 
quicker growth and shading the young 
trees during hot weather. Florida citrus growers 
are commencing to plant it liberally. Trucker 
growers are planting it in a bigger way. It requires 
“from 8 to 10 weeks from time of germination to 
time of plowing under. It should be plowed under 
when the seed is in the dough. Attains a height of 
from 8 to 10 feet. Individual plants will make a 
limb spread of from 4 to 6 feet. The foliage is like 
an Acacia, with finely cut small leaves. They decay 
very rapidly. The root growth is very rapid, as 
much as 3 feet from tip to tip, and 18 inches deep 
They are entirely covered with 
nodules. It has no known value other than as a 
fertilizer crop, or for game preserves. Quail are 
very fond of the seed, which are produced in abun- 
dance, and are capable of lying on the ground a 
| long while, and remaining in good condition. Citrus 
srowers usually drill 30 Ibs. of seed to the acre, 
Trucker growers should sow 40 
ibs. per acre and give a light covering. Cotton and 
corn farmers have found Sesbania the solution of 
| keeping up their soils, sowing at the rate of 12 to 
(0 lbs. per acre. For the period of growth, we 
know of no legume which is equal as a producer of 
pyrogen and humus. Cultivation readily kills it. 
Plant only scarified seed that germinates readily.
