It will thrive in open woodlands, on the poorest of upland hills, along roadsides and in other waste places. And although it is an annual, it produces enough seed to reseed itself. Being a legume, it is valuable for soil improvement. Another use is as a constituent in permanent pastures with Bermuda and Carpet grass. Lespedeza is sown in the early spring at the rate of 25 pounds of seed to the acre. (Write Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for Farmers' Bulletin 1143.) 1 lb., 25c, postpaid. MAMMOTH LESPEDEZA Two varieties of Mammoth Lespedeza are now available— Korean and Kobe. They grow to a foot and a half in height. Tennessee 76 is another type, but it is not as good as these two. Korean and Kobe differ in that the former is two to three weeks earlier beginning growth in the spring and maturing in the fall. Kobe yields more hay but less seed than Korean. Sow 15 pounds of seed of either variety per acre. Write for prices.

Sow 6 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 60c, postpaid. TIMOTHY Timothy is adapted to a cool and humid climate rather than one which is hot or dry.
