and seed same year sown. Reseeds itself each 
year, unexcelled for pasture, hay or soil build- 
ing. Drought resistant. Height 15 to 24 inches.

LESPEDEZA SERICEA. New perennial Lespe- 
deza. An Oriental perennial legume; grows on 
poor land, acid or sour soil as well as on rich 
soil. Great drought resister with an enormous 
root system. Enriches the soil, starts growth 
early in spring and gives at least 3 cuttings a sea- 
son with as high as 3 tons of hay per acre from 
a single cutting. Plant 1 to 2 in. deep, drilled 
or broadcast on a well-prepared bed, in spring, 
25 to 30 lbs. per acre. See Farm Seed List for 
prices. 
EARLY LESPEDEZA. New Iowa 6. Earlier and 
Heavier Yield. New early Lespedeza—averages 
6 inches taller, much earlier, and heavier 
yielding than common strains, making it ideal 
for folks who want a taller and earlier type and 
who have not had success with ordinary Lespede- 
za. Grows anywhere—especially valued where 
other legumes will not grow. Will grow on the 
sourest soil and will build it up by adding nitro- 
gen. Seed is short—order early. Plant same as 
Korean Lespedeza. 
See Field Seed Price List for quantity prices. 
EARLY No. 19604 LESPEDEZA. Widely known 
as Early Giant. A real drought variety—early, 
tall, quick grower. No wonder it has been 
known as Early Giant Lespedeza—adapted to 
climatic conditions prevailing as far north as 
central Iowa. Does extra well south of us too. 
Growth has been reported up to two feet this 
last year and it was really dry. Will stand lots 
of hot weather. Heavy sure seed producer—as 
much as 1000 lbs. per acre.

NEW! ALFALFA VARIETIES 
NON-HARDY AFRICAN and INDIAN AL- 
FALFA. Two fine varieties suitable for two or 
three-year rotation—for quick hay crop and graz- 
ing. Our seed is California grown, finest quality. 
See Field Seed Price List for prices. 
RHIZOMA ALFALFA. A new variety that spreads 
from underground roots. Developed in Canada. 
Extremely hardy and shows remarkable resist- 
ance to drought. Main area of adaptation seems 
to be in the northern states. Seed supplies very 
scarce. Order now for a start of Rhizoma. See 
Farm Seed List for prices. 
NOMAD ALFALFA. This Alfalfa is also some- 
times called the Creeping Alfalfa. Its origin 
traces to dry and northwestern areas. Not recom- 
mended for hay production; however, it has so 
many wonderful features such as high drought 
resistance and the ability to withstand heavy 
grazing. It spreads rapidly. You'll want to try 
at least a small amount of this variety. See Farm 
seed List for prices. 
MEADOW FOXTAIL. A long season, perennial 
grass. Great for wet land. Will withstand long 
periods of overflow. Generally easier to get a 
stand of this than of Reed Canary Grass. Adapted 
to upland. Grows in shade. Although basically 
a wonderful grass for wet land, it can give good 
returns on well-drained sod of medium fertility 
that is fairly well supplied with moisture for 
winter and early summer growth. It is similar 
to Orchard Grass in its ability to grow in shady 
areas. See Farm Seed List for prices. 
FIELD CLOVER 
See Our Farm Seed List or Write for 
Clover Prices! 
Medium RED CLOVER. Native Mis- 
souri grown. Extra fancy, clean, 
high germination. It pays to plant 
the best. Clover that is adapted to 
Missouri soils and conditions is the 
cheapest in the long run. Beware of 
poor quality foreign seed offered at 
lower prices. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER. Is a large va- 
riety of Red Clover, superior for soil build- 
ing. Our stocks are the very finest. 
KENLAND Red Clover 
Blue Tag ‘‘Certified’’ 
A new, very productive variety, disease 
resistant, and highly recommended for those 
that are looking for an improved medium Red 
Clover. Kenland has definitely been proved 
superior in every way including a much longer 
“*stand’’ life. We believe that it will pay you 
to use this new strain. 
See Farm Seed Price List for prices. 
ALSIKE Clover 
Grows Where Other Clovers Fail 
Alsike does well on low, wet, heavy soil 
where Red Clover, Sweet Clover and Alfalfa 
can’t take it. 
Alsike hay is high in protein, and fully 
equals Red Clover in feeding value. Does fine 
planted along with Timothy, Tall Fescue, or 
any other good grasses. Alsike seed being small, 
requires only 6 to 10 pounds per acre. Our 
Alsike is hardy, northern grown, the very fin- 
est quality, dark, green berry, free of noxious 
seeds. It pays to plant the best. 
See Farm Seed Price List for prices. 
SWEET Clover 
Surpasses all crops in soil building qualities. 
Stores large quantities of nitrogen in the soil, 
increases fertility and humus. A valuable pas- 
ture crop. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover. 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. 
Unhulled Sweet Clover. (White Blossoms.) 
Hubam, Annual Sweet Clover. 
Madrid, New Yellow. 
GIANT LADINO 
U. S. Department of . Agriculture says: 
‘Ladino is the largest growing form of White 
Clover. It is similar to White Dutch, but grows 
twice as large.’’ It is a long-lived perennial, 
excellent for grazing, as well as producing a 
most nutritous and palatable hay crop. Its tap 
root goes down one to three feet. The stems 
run on the ground, taking root. It is not sub- 
ject to Alfalfa diseases and is ideal to plant 
after Alfalfa. It does not bloat livestock as 
much as other Clovers, but is safer to plant 
with Timothy, Red Top, Tall Fescue, Ken- 
sucky Blue Grass, Orchard Grass and Rye 
rass.

TALL OR KENTUCKY 
“317 FESCUE 
Discovered growing many years ago on a 
mountain farm in Kentucky, hence its name. 
A perennial bunch grass, puts out blades in 
great number. Is best suited as a permanent 
pasture since it improves with age, building up 
a heavy, dense sod, prevents erosion, produces 
a large amount of succulent pasture the year 
around. Grows anywhere but the better the 
soil, the better the grass. Sow in middle 
August, September or early spring months. 
We offer the very finest strain, free of nox- 
ious weeds and rye grass. See Farm Seed price 
list for prices. 
ALTA FESCUE News. cade 
There’s nothing like it. Heavy yielding wonder 
grass lives 20 years or more, is highly palatable, a 
summer producer, soil builder and weed eradicator. 
Alta Fescue produces as much or more fall and 
winter foliage as other grasses adapted solely to 
those seasons. Produces more summer foliage than 
all but the strictly summer-growing grasses. High 
feeding value and palatability. Rapid recovery 
after pasture. Wide adaptability to soils, climate, 
and moisture. See Field Seed list for prices. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
Sow 5 to 8 Ibs. per acre alone—less in mixtures. 
A hardy deep rooted, long lived legume, fine 
stemmed and leafy with feeding value equal to 
Alfalfa. Will grow on land too low in fertility for 
Alfalfa; stands heat and drought. Especially valu- 
able in permanent pastures. We offer only the 
broad leaf variety which is recommended for this 
section. See Field Seed Price List for prices.
