Magnolia Seeds. Cre Good. VEGETABLE SEEDS
Jo. A PRODUCTIVE GARDEN ALL YEAR ‘ROUND
Broccoli
Asparagus
Seed Culture—Soak the seed at least 24 hours before planting. Sow in spring or fall in rows 3 feet apart. Cover seed about 1 inch. When plants are well established thin to about one inch apart. By the following spring, roots will be ready for setting in the perma- nent bed. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill. 1 pound will plant an acre. One ounce will produce 300 plants. Pest Control—Against Asparagus Beetles use Acme Rotenone Garden Guard, or NNOR Garden Spray. Washington Asparagus Seed (2 Years) Improved strain of rust-resistant qual-
ity. Giant size, high yield, straight stalks of fine flavor and rich green color.
Broccoli
Culture—Plant and cultivate like cab- bage. See Page 4. One ounce will pro- duce 5,000 plants.
Pest Control — Against Aphids, Cut Worms and Cabbage Worms use Acme DuraDusT, or Acme Rotenone Garden Guard, or NNOR Garden Spray. Calabrese Green Sprouting—Bears a succession of sprouting heads, which, if kept cut continue to form for six to eight weeks. Each sprout produces a small cauliflower-type head, deep green buds.

Beans Green Pod Bush Beans
Culture—Beans are sensitive to both cold and wet and should be planted when the ground has become dry and warm. Plant in drills two to three feet apart for the best results. Cover seed 1 inch deep and thin plants three to six inches apart in row. Up to time of blossoming, cultivate shallow. Mutila- tion of roots by cultivation after plants have come into bloom causes blossoms to blast, and reduces crop. One pound plants 100 ft., 30 to 50 pounds to an acre. For succession plant every two weeks until mid-summer. Frequent picking results in long bearing. In- crease yield up to 50% by inoculating seed before planting with Nitragin “D” or Garden Nitragin.
Pest Control — Against Aphids and Mexican Bean Beetles, use Acme Rote- none Garden Guard, or NNOR Garden Spray.

Magnolia Cabbage
Culture—Prepare soil thoroughly, if you want hardy plants. Sow seed about 45 days in advance of time wanted to trans- plant in open. Early varieties may be sown outside in March and April. For Winter Cabbage, sow seed in June, July or August. Keep crop well watered and cultivated, for when growth is checked, seed head matures and bursts forth as soon as moisture is again applied. Cabbage requires heavy soil with good drainage and frequent but shallow cultivation. However, good crops can be obtained on lighter soil if well fertilized. Root plants deeply when setting them, to resist drouth. % lb. seed will produce approximately 20,000 plants, enough to plant an acre. The days shown indicate average number to produce heads for market from time plants are set in field. Control seed decay and seedling blight, and in- crease plant vigor and productiveness by treating seeds with
Semesan before planting.

Cauliflower
Culture—Requires rich soil and abun- dant moisture. The only significant dif- ference in the culture of Cauliflower and Cabbage is that with Cauliflower the heads must be protected from sun- light in order to insure the desired white curd. This is most readily ac- complished by gathering the leaves to- gether loosely as soon as the heads be- gin to form and tying them at the top. One ounce produces 2000 plants; % pound plants one acre.
Early Snowball—Farliest maturing va- riety. Adapted for forcing or wintering over for early crop; also one of the best sorts for late summer and _ fall crop. Heads solid, round, very white, about six inches across. 52 days. Wt. 1% to 2 lbs.
Culture—Sandy loam made rich by ma- nuring the previous year is the best soil for the carrot ; any good land, if thorough- ly and deeply worked produces satisfactory crops. It is advisable to sow as early as the ground is fit to work. Cover seed one-half to one inch deep and see that the soil is pressed firmly above the seed. As

Magnolia Cucumbers
Culture—For largest yield of cucumbers, soil should be well enriched with Vigoro and _ loca- tion should be fully exposed to the sun. Plant seed not over one inch deep, in hills from 3 to 5 feet apart each way, dropping 15 to 20 seeds in a hill. After plants begin to crowd, thin to 3 plants to the hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation, until plants make runners. Pick fruit as soon as large enough before it begins to ripen, as vines will cease setting fruit when seeds begin to mature. In gathering for pickles, cut the stem instead of pulling fruit off; and be careful not to mar the fruit in any way; if the skin is broken, pickles will not keep so well. Use % ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 lbs. per acre. Control seed decay and seedling blight, and in- crease plant vigor and productiveness by treat- ing seeds with Semesan before planting. Protect seeds from birds by using Stanley Crow Repel- lent.

When plants begin to crowd thin to 4 of the most vigorous plants in the hill. Give frequent but shallow cultivation until plants make run- ners. Rich earth for young plants is far better, but if manure must be used, see that it is well rotted and thoroughly mixed with the soil. Vigoro has proved to be very satisfactory for fertiliz- ing soil into which cantaloupes are to be sown. Use 1 ounce of seed to 100 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to acre. Control seed decay and seed- ling blight, and increase plant vigor and productiveness by treating E seeds with Semesan before planting. Protect seeds from birds by | using Stanley Crow Repellent.

HARVEST EARLY!
Too many growers, in attempts to get larger growth and yield, delay harvest beyond the stage of best quality. No vegetable should be allowed to become tough, coarse, overgrown, and unpala- table before being harvested. Quantity is important, but so is quality. Large size in a product is of little value in itself; indeed, excessive size is gen- erally associated with mediocre, if not low, quality. The sooner vegetables can be used after harvest the better.
If you are growing for market pur- pose, choose varieties adapted for that purpose, and you will get more for your crops.

Fresh Garden Peas PLANT FOR ABUNDANT SUPPLY
Culture—For early peas soil should be light and warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy soil is better. Fresh manure and a very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided, as they cause a large growth of vine at the cost of the quality of the peas. Seed should be planted at a depth of 2 inches, in rows 21 to 28 inches apart for dwarf varieties and 28 to 42 inches for the taller sorts. Wrinkled varieties are more sensitive to wet weather than the smooth-seeded but are of super- ior quality. Peas should be gathered as fast as fit for use. If even a few pods begin to ripen not only will new pods cease to form, but those partly advanced will stop growing. Two pounds seed plants 100 feet; 70 to 100 pounds per acre. Increase yields up to 50% by inoculating seeds before planting with Nitragin C or Garden Nitragin.

Magnolia - Tomato Seeds
— oc =
Culture—Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over-rich soil, and success depends largely upon securing a rapid, vigorous and unchecked growing dur- ing the early part of the season. Sow in January and February in hotbeds for early crops. Set out the plants as soon as danger from frost is over, after hardening off the plants by gradually exposing them to the night air and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard, and the leaves thick and of a dark green color. Transplant care- fully and cultivate well as long as the vines will permit. If to be grown with- out training, plants are usually set out from 3 to 4 feet apart each way, ac- cording to the growth of the variety. Magnolia tomato seeds are from the finest strains grown, and we invite comparison with any on the market. An ounce will produce 38,000 plants; 1% ounces will produce sufficient plants to set out an acre. Number of days in- dicates from time set out to maturity of first fruit. Control seed decay and seedling blight, and increase plant vigor and productiveness by treating seeds with Semesan before planting.

Stokes Leads
For sixty-eight years, tomato seeds have been the prime interest of the Francis C. Stokes family. To talk with Mr. Stokes is to be impressed with the sincerity and enthusiasm of a research man who has turned his talents to the production of seed for the tomato grow- ers of this Nation and has found a deep satisfaction in the leadership of his product. We know of no finer seeds than Stokes’. In areas where immense commercial crops are grown, Stokes- bred seeds are demanded, because they have brought profit and satisfaction to their growers.
Whether you are a home gardener in- terested in fruit for your own table or that one man in a hundred who is a perfectionist when it comes to toma- toes, you will be pleased with the re- sults you get from Stokes-bred Seed. The Stokes program of seed develop- ment and production is one of preci- sion, thoroughness and control at every stage. Stokes seed is the starting point for brilliant uniformity and high pro- duction. We offer five varieties:

Magnolia - Tomato Seeds
Culture—Tomaioes do best on light, warm, not over-rich soil, and success depends largely upon securing a rapid, vigorous and unchecked growing dur- ing the early part of the season. Sow in January and February in hotbeds for early crops. Set out the plants as soon as danger from frost is over, after hardening off the plants by gradually exposing them to the night air and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard, and the leaves thick and of a dark green color. Transplant care- fully and cultivate well as long as the yines will permit. If to be grown with- out training, plants are usually set out from 3 to 4 feet apart each way, ac- cording to the growth of the variety. Magnolia tomato seeds are from the finest strains grown, and we invite comparison with any on the market. An ounce will produce 3,000 plants; 1% ounces will produce sufficient plants to set out an acre. Number of days in- dicates from time set out to maturity of first fruit. Control seed decay and seedling blight, and increase plant vigor and productiveness by treating seeds with Semesan before planting.

Stokescross No. 5—The new F2 Hybrid
Stokes Leads
For sixty-eight years, tomato seeds have been the prime interest of the Francis C. Stokes family. To talk with Mr. Stokes is to be impressed with the sincerity and enthusiasm of a research man who has turned his talents to the production of seed for the tomato grow- ers of this Nation and has found a deep satisfaction in the leadership of his product. We know of no finer seeds than Stokes’. In areas where immense commercial crops are grown, Stokes- bred seeds are demanded, because they have brought profit and satisfaction to their growers.
Whether you are a home gardener in- terested in fruit for your own table or that one man in a hundred who is a perfectionist when it comes to toma- toes, you will be pleased with the re- sults you get from Stokes-bred Seed. The Stokes program of seed develop- ment and production is one of preci- sion, thoroughness and control at every stage. Stokes seed is the starting point for brilliant uniformity and high pro- duction. We offer five varieties :

Texas Hybrid Corn
OUR SEEDS HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH CERESAN
Our HYBRID SEED CORN, bred from Texas pure strains by Watson for us, are the best adapted to our soil and cli- mate. These seeds are scientifically bred to give uniform ears, the highest grain shell-out, and corn of the best feed-
Yellow
Texas No. 8 — A yellow, double-top cross between two inbreds and native yellow Surecropper. Recommended for the Black Land, and for West Central Texas, and wherever drouth resisting corn is needed. Medium soft grain, light yellow color.
Texas No. 12—-A four way cross, Yel- low Dent type corn that is especially well suited for rich, flat and bottom land, of good fertility and sufficient moisture, where the climate is suitable for growing Yellow Dent Corn. Pro- duces uniform ears with mellow grain of golden color, small kernels with the very highest feeding value.
Texas No. 18—This is the largest ear and produces a larger, softer grain than the No. 8 and No. 12 Texas Yel- low Hybrids. All four inbred parents were developed from Texas varieties. Like No. 8, No. 18 is a good drouth resister, and outstanding for hybrid vigor. Uniform ears and deep golden colored grains. Plant where Yellow Dent varieties do well.
Texas No. 20—A yellow corn very sim- ilar to No. 18, though it seems to be more widely adapted, producing very satisfactory yields wherever tested. No. 20 has a heavy root system and good shuck protection, Large, medium soft grain, of deep golden color.
Texas No. 24—A brand new type of yellow hybrid with slightly larger ears than those of No. 12, 18 and 20. Ex- cellent shuck coverage; highly resis- tant to insect damage; vigorous stalks with strong root system. Very resis-

tant to lodging. Provides fine quality feeding corn. Matures in about 120 days.
Texas Hybrid No. 26—A new hybrid being produced in 1949 for the first time. It is quite similar to the No. 18 with large soft grains but has a better shuck coverage, a little stronger stalk and a higher yield. It is a few days earlier, having the same maturity date as the No. 8—118 days.
White Texas No. 9-W—It has almost perfect shuck coverage. Very resistant to ear worms and weevils. Early maturing, a good drouth-resister and well adapted to all corn growing areas in Texas. It’s a favorite for roasting ears.
Magnolia Open Pollinated Corn

No. 24 No. 11-W
Texas No. 11-W — A heavy producing White Hybrid with a wide range of adaptability. Has larger ears than No. 9-W and tests so far indicate a yield as good or better than 9-W. Matures in about 120 days.
Texas No. 13-W—A high vielding white double top cross hybrid, bred primar- ily for the valley and coastal areas. Excellent shuck coverage. Insect resis- tant. Produces dry corn in about 130 days. Primarily a feed grain variety but suitable for roasting ears. Deeper and harder grain than that of 9-W, with heavy shuck that is medium tight. Does well on delta or river bottom land in areas where soil moisture is not likely to be a critical factor during late spring and summer season.
Buckwheat
This nourishing plant should be more generally grown in the South. May be sown in early spring or late summer, maturing in about two months. Yields large quantities of grain and the flow- ers provide exceptionally fine food for bees. Extensively used for a green ma- nure plant. Buckwheat tends to smoth- er weeds out, and it will produce a crop with very little rainfall. Buck- wheat flour is of fine quality and much in demand. Plant March to May or in August at the rate of 48 pounds to the acre.
Mammoth Sunflower
Produces an enormous head, from 12 to 20 inches in diameter. On light, well- drained, well tilled, fertile soils yields from 380 to 50 bushels per acre. Plant and cultivate as you would corn. May be planted some earlier, using 5 to 10 lbs. per acre. As a poultry feed mixed with other grains it has no equal.
Sorghums — For fnislage —
SYRUP CANES
These triple purpose canes make money for producers. Used for syrup production, ensilage, or seed and dry forage. For syrup, cut just before seeds ripen, as there is more saccha- rine at that stage. Plant 5 to 10 lbs. per acre, and cultivate like corn. Chop like cotton, leaving plants 12 to 15 inches
apart in the row.
Japanese or Honey Drip—125 days. Makes 150 to 200 gallons of syrup per acre; or 10 to 15 tons of green forage; or 800 to 1200 lbs. of seed. Grows very tall with many joints in the stalks and with a vigorous root system. Especially recom- mended for ensilage, as well as for syrup. For ensilage sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre; for syrup 5 to 10 Ibs.
POPULAR FODDER CANES
Red Top or Sumac—110 days. Formerly the principal forage crop of the Southwest, but yielding acreage to newer sor- ghums. Slender stalks and abundant leaves, combined with drouth-resistant features make it a fine fodder. Yields 4 to 6 tons dry forage per acre. Plant 6 to 8 lbs. to acre in rows,

ATLAS SORGO
90 to 95 days. Fine saccharine variety, which is especially recommended for en- silage, as it grows from 7 to 8 feet high and the yield of forage is very heavy and the stalk sweet. The strain runs out in three years so be sure to get new seed, produced by a Seed Breeder, not less than every three years. Plant in rows, April to July; 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre.
DARSO
110 days. A dwarf variety with large stalk and heavy foliage. The stalk is straight and juicy and contains about 12 per cent saccharine, making it espe- cially good for forage and excellent for ensilage. Drouth resistant. Darso yields 3 to 5 tons per acre of dry forage, and 30 to 40 bushels of grain. Plant April to July, 8 to 10 lbs. per acre in rows, or broadcast 50 lbs.
HEGARI
ARIZONA STATE CERTIFIED
115 days. Hegari is one of the most important varieties of grain sorghum in the Southwest. It produces an enormous crop of grain under favorable conditions, and a large yield of excellent fod-
der even under somewhat un- favorable conditions. Normal yield ranges from 8 to 12 tons of green forage per acre. The large heads of creamy white grain do not shatter, and the
numerous large leaves and juicy stalks are relished by livestock.
Many growers are_ harvesting LO plant when Hegari with combines. Plant digging. Plant
April to July, 8 to 10 lbs. per acre in rows, or broadcast 50 lbs.
95 days. A popular Saccharine Sorghum for early green feed or ensilage. It is the earliest sort and makes tine hay, green or cured, which is relished by stock. Will yield 2 to 3 cuttings each year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. Plant 8 to 10 lbs. to acre in rows—50 lbs.
Black Amber
Grain Sorghums MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO
95 days. A very early maturing variety which suckers very little. Resistant to Pythium Root Rot. On the basis of average yield, Plainsman Milo is a sub- stantial heavier producer than Mar- tin’s, however, the Martin’s head dries out and threshes well early in the sea- son, which reduces the hazard of pos- sible bad weather with damage to the grain. This latter quality makes Mar- tin’s the preference of a considerable number of growers. Plant April to June, in rows, 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre.
PLAINSMAN COMBINE MILO 100 to 105 days. This variety continues to lead in popularity, particularly in the northern and western parts of the state. It continues to show the same uniformity, which is such an important factor in Combine Milo. Plainsman re- peatedly attains yields that are out-
standing by comparison, and the stout- er stalks stand up longer awaiting the harvest. Plainsman produces grain of

Magnolia Millet
Quick growth of millet makes it very desirable for hay and pas- turage—particularly in times of drouth. Plant from April te August. For seed and to produce large heads, sow from 5 to 10 Ibs. to acre, broadcast about 50 Ibs. to the acre.
Big German—Now recognized as the finest quality, becoming more popular each year. Produces ex- tra large heads, and grows rank, 4 to 5 feet tall. The best variety for hay, for which it should be cut when in full bloom. On good soil, a yield of five tons per acre is not unusual.

Peanuts
For medium light, loamy or sandy land, peanuts are one of the most profitable crops that can be grown. Often yield as much as fifty bushels per acre on land too poor to plant corn. Produces ordinarily about a ton of excellent for-
age per acre in addition to the crop of nuts. Tennessee Long Red — Does well on
black waxy land as wel! as sandy soil. Larger in size, with greater numbers of nuts than most varieties grown in the south. A splendid commercial va- riety and very productive. 30 pounds to the acre.

Spanish Peanuts — This variety grows compactly, making them easy to cultivate. While nuts are small, they are sweet and of fine flavor, and contain a high per cent of oil. ‘‘Pops,’’ so common
in larger varieties, are seldom found in the Spanish. The best

Harvesting Alfalfa
Alfalfa
Alfalfa, a perennial, is adaptable to al- most any climate and many soils, ex- cept acid soils which should be cor- rected by the use of lime and ample drainage. Deep soils with liberal lime content and low water level are best for maximum alfalfa production. Alfal- fa is not used extensively for grazing but it ranks first in hay production in the United States. Alfalfa, when in- oculated, enriches the soil. Sow Sep- tember to November and February to April. Sow 20 pounds per acre in well prepared, clean, firm soil, covering about one inch with harrow, followed by roller. Keep weeds clipped down with mower until alfalfa thoroughly covers the ground.
Common—The deep tap root of Com- mon Alfalfa assures drouth resistance and winter hardiness. May be cut from 3 to 5 times a year. The variety gen- erally planted in Texas and Oklahoma. Hairy Peruvian—Not so winter hardy, but very drouth resistant. May be cut more often than other varieties but hay of lower quality. The stems and leaves are covered with fine, short hairs which gives the variety its gray- ish appearance.
Magnolia Clovers ALSIKE
A long-lived perennial which often survives winter conditions that kill other clo- vers. Prefers low-land soils where plenty of moisture is available and tolerates con- siderable acidity. Fine for grazing, hay and soil improvement. Sow September and
October, 5 to 7 lbs. per acre. ALYCE
Alyce Clover is a summer annual used primarily as a hay crop. May be used for light grazing. Clay soils are preferred. Grows erect in dense stands but tends to fall down in sparse stands. Sow from April through July, 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.
BLACK MEDIC OR TREFOIL
A biennial. Has small yellow blossom. Plant is similar to alfalfa except that it spreads more and lays flat on the ground. Reseeds itself even under rather close grazing. Sow 15 lbs. per acre in September and October ; also in February, March and April. When sown with other clovers and grasses, sow 2 to 3 lbs. to the acre.
BUR CLOVER An annual clover which reseeds itself readily. Sow seed August to November. Highly desirable because of its adaptability to most soil conditions, its fine winter pasturage and its tendency to materially improve soil. This clover should not be planted in pastures for sheep since its burs will reduce wool grade.

HOP CLOVER
An annual clover, adapted to a wide variety of soils and climatic conditions. Up- right growth, bearing small yellow blooms. Plant September to November—it grows slowly during the winter months but makes rapid growth in the spring and early summer. It does well on sandy waste lands. Grows 12 to 15 inches high. Plant 3 to 6 pounds
to the acre. HUBAM CLOVER
An annual white flowering sweet clover of very rapid growth. Excellent for both pasture and hay, also honey production as well as for soil improvement, when inoculated with Nitragin. It is similar in feed value to the Biennial White Flowering clover. Plant in fall or spring, 15 lbs.
to the acre. LADINO
Ladino is a large form of White Dutch Clover. Under favorable conditions the stems, leaves and flowers becoming 2 to 4 times as large. Rapid growing and spreads by creeping stems that root at the nodes. Usually a perennial but will kill with too hot or dry conditions. Adapted to more fertile, moisture retaining soils. Sow February, March, September through Novem- ber, 5 to 7 lbs. per acre.
MADRID YELLOW SWEETCLOVER
A hardy biennial. Lower-growing, leafier, finer-stemmed, and has an early seed- ing vigor that makes it more desirable for drouthy conditions than common bien- nial sweet clovers. Adapted to fairly tight soils high in lime and free of cotton root-rot. Sow September-November ; January-March, 15 to 25 pounds per acre.
MELILOTUS INDICA (Annual Yellow Blossom Clover)
This clover is also called ‘‘Sour Clover.’’ Thrives on wide range of soils. It is ex- tensively used as a cover crop, as it will produce 5 to 10 tons of green matter by early May, to be plowed under. Sow in fall or spring, 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.
SWEET WHITE FLOWERING CLOVER
A biennial. Does not bloom first year but can be grazed. Early the next spring you are assured a good pasture, continuing through the summer, or an abundant hay crop. This clover has penetrating roots and will do well even on poor clay soils. Plant in September, October, and February to April, 15 lbs. per acre, on firm seed bed that has been ploughed several months before. Roll lightly after sowing. Pasture Mixtures are much benefited by this clover. It helps keep the soil in good condition and adds extra feed value. Blossoms excellent for honey produc- tion. Black lands respond very well to the soil building qualities of Sweet White Flowering Clover which has been inoculated with Nitragin.
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER
This clover, a hardy perennial, is recommended for pastures by the Texas Experi- ment Station, particularly for use in East Texas. Plantings made at the Lufkin Station resulted in furnishing an abundant amount of feed from February 1 to well up in May, both for grazing and cutting. Excellent addition to Bermuda Pastures as it provides grazing early and late when Bermuda is dormant. Also a desirable addition to Bermuda lawns. It is also very desirable for honey produc- tion and for an early green manure crop. The plant reseeds itself. Plant in fall or spring on firm seed bed or on closely cropped pastures. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre.
Ibs. per acre.
Clover for Greater Milk Production
Lespedeza KOBE
An annual for grazing or hay crops. Somewhat earlier and more drouth re- sistant than Common Lespedeza, and produces a larger growth. Sow in spring, 35 pounds seed to the acre.
KOREAN An annual Lespedeza, the plants of which are larger and show faster
growth than any other varieties de- veloping about 30 days earlier than most others. Does well on poor and acid soils and also on black land. Pro- duces excellent grazing in the hot sum- mer months. In producing for hay, fer- tile soil will give a much greater re- turn. Korean Lespedeza greatly in- creases the carrying capacity of pas- ture lands and it is an excellent soil
builder, when inoculated. Sow in spring, 25 pounds to the acre. SERICEA
A perennial, excellent for grazing and hay production. Its feeding value is considered equal to alfalfa. Like alfalfa it is deep rooted and so drouth and cold resistant. It will thrive on acid soils where alfalfa will not grow and will produce profitably on poor soils (except poorly drained areas) where alfalfa is unprofitable. It is a soil build- er, when inoculated. It yields from 2 to 5 cuttings annually after becoming established, depending upon the soil and climate. It should be planted in the spring when danger of frost is over and sown and cared for like al- falfa. Plant from 20 to 30 pounds per acre.
Grazing Dwarf Essex Rape
Dwari Essex Rape
Rape is one of the most valuable green feed crops. Well liked and highly nutri- tious for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, also chickens. Plants grow to a height of from 1 to 4 feet depending on condi- tion of soil and climate and furnish surprisingly abundant grazing, produc- ing from 10 to 25 tons of green forage per acre. An acre will pasture 20 hogs for two months. Leaves grow very rank and succulent and are sweet and tender. The crop is not injured in ordi- nary winters in the South and will withstand summer heat very well. Rape also makes a delicious green food for humans, when cooked like other greens. Fall seeding is best, but early spring sowing is successful. Sow in drills or broadcast 5 to 8 Ibs. per acre.

HOW TO GROW PASTURES
Fertilization: Pastures can produce only in proprotion to quality of the soil. Test your own soil with our Soil Test Kits. Deficiencies of lime, phos- phorus, potash and nitrogen should be supplied with manures or commercial fertilizers and/or inoculated legumes. Phosphorus is especially important. be- cause, both the plants and the animals that eat the plants, require phos- phorus.
Seeding or Reseeding: A firm seed bed is essential for a good stand from grass, and clover seeds, and the coy- ering should be very shallow. Roll the seeds in or use a brush drag or a spike- tooth harrow set for shallow work. Plant Seed Mixtures for continuous grazing.
Judicious Grazing: Before turning in stock give pasture plants time to get a good start. Avoid excessive tramp- ling in wet weather. Cross-fence and rotate to permit regrowth after heavy pasturing.
Weed Control: Control weeds by disc- ing, harrowing or mowing before weeds go to seed and by spot treatment with 2-4D Weed Killer.
Harrowing: Harrow occasionally to spread droppings, prevent patchy growth and keep the soil more uni- formly fertile.
Sod Bound Pastures: Pastures some- times become sod-bound, as indicated by stunted growth and early seeding. The remedy: dise or spike-roll, then fertilize. Reseed thin turf.
To Sum-Up: Select pasture locations easily accessible to barns and water
supply . . . Fence and cross fence for rotation Drain or terrace before seeding . . . Prepare your seed bed... . Use fertilizer to increase production

BERMUDA GRASS
Bermuda, is a low growing palatable perennial, is especially well adapted to drouth resistant needs of Southwest. It should form the basis of all per- manent pastures in the cotton grow- ing South. Thrives everywhere except under shaded conditions or on water- logged or very light, poor, sandy soils. Grows well in combination with other pasture plants. The strong root sys- tem helps prevent washing. Plant from February to November: 10 to 15 Ibs. per acre of unhulled seeds ; 5 to 10 Ibs. hulled seeds. For quick germination, plant hulled seeds.
BLUESTEM
A Perennial, Native Bunch Grass Big Bluestem
Fine for spring, summer and early fall pastures. The deep root system pre- vents soil erosion and adds organic matter to the soil. Plants spread by short rootstocks to form dense leafy growth 1 to 2 feet high. Plant Feb- ruary to April, 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. Little Bluestem Well adapted to topsoils that are fer- tile but low in lime. Has deep and wide spreading root system which holds the soil and adds organic matter. By June plants have formed heavy bunch growth of bluish-green, narrow leaves. Fine for early spring and fall grazing. Plant February to April, 12 to 20 Ibs. per acre.
King Ranch Yellow Bluestem Outstanding for reclaiming old fields and eroded lands. Deep rooted, drouth- resistant, mid-grass.’ Semi-rooted, half erect, erosion resisting tufts. Tends to spread eliminating competition. Very palatable and highly nutritious. Stands up well under grazing and produces high quality hay. Plant January to March; September to October, 5 to 6 Ibs. per acre.
BUFFALO GRASS
A perennial which, because of its de- sirable turf and spreading runners, is in great demand for revegetation pur- poses. Especially adapted to heavy soils and splendid for grazing purposes, in the plains regions of Texas and Okla- homa. The treated seeds we are offer- ing are of good germination and well adapted for use in this territory. Ex- cellent for combination with other pas- ture grasses. Plant from February to June, from 5 to 8 lbs. to the acre.
CARPET GRASS
A low growing, broad-leaf perennial, creeping and taking root at every joint. It is better adapted to wet, sour soils and cut-over pine lands than is Ber- muda. It prefers sandy or loamy soils where moisture remains near the sur- face. Makes a splendid permanent pas- ture and will withstand close grazing without injury. It is not a pest, plow- ing will kill it. Plant September and October; also February to May, 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
best on fertile, rather heavy, moist soil. Plant September to December, 15- 20 lbs. per acre.
DALLIS GRASS
Dallis Grass, a perennial, broad leaf, bunch grass, prefers heavy soils, with lots of moisture, but will grow wher- ever there is sufficient fertility to sus- tain grass. It provides unsurpassed grazing, more nearly year-round than any other grass. It stops washed places quickly. Not a pest. Permits other grasses and clovers to live, but helps to choke out weeds, Plant any time, except in the drouthy summer, but preferably in spring when danger of frost is past. 5 to 10 lbs. seed to
acre. JOHNSON GRASS
It is hard to eradicate in the South. Continues to grow year after year from the roots except in climates with zero temperatures. Makes very fine hay, withstands drouth. Very prolifie.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS
A long lifed perennial. Succeeds best on limestone land, but does well on stiff clay and medium soils. Needs con- siderably moisture. We do not recom- mend planting alone in Texas, since it does not stand extreme heat well. Good results are obtained when plant- ed in shady places both in pastures and lawns. Plant 35 pounds to the acre, in the fall of the year.
KENTUCKY 31 FESCUE
A strain out of Alta Fescue. Under ideal conditions furnish year-round pasture. Seeded in fall it is ready for pasture in early spring. Keep grazed to about 3 inches and keep it growing. For heavy winter pasture the grass should not be grazed from July to mid- November. Very palatable. Although a pasture grass it makes heavy yields of hay or silage of fair quality. Can be cust 2-8 times annually. Plant 15-20 pounds per acre.
RED TOP OR HERD’S GRASS
A perennial of creeping habit for hay making or winter pastures and green winter lawns. It is recommended for heavy moist lowlands, as it withstands wet weather but also does well on most any good rich soil. It is tolerant of acid soils. Grows about 2 feet high. Sow broadcast 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre.
RESCUE GRASS
Rescue Grass, sometimes called Prairie Grass, a winter annual bunch grass, leafy and palatable makes a very good winter and spring pasture. It is adapt- able to practically any soil condition. Very nutritious and stock like it. Good on cultivated land or in permanent pas- ture mixtures. Reseeds itself, and will come up the following fall after dying out in late spring. Broadcast from October to May, 20 to 25 pounds per acre.
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS
A short lived perennial sod-forming grass. Establishes pastures quickly in mixtures with other perennial grasses on fertile soils with long, cool moist periods. Plants form dense turf coar- ser than Common Rye Grass. Very nu- tritious and palatable. Seldom endures more than one season under Southwest conditions.
Pastures — Jo Reclaim Waste Acres
RYE GRASS
An annual bunch grass satisfactory on soil with fertility to sustain grass. Provides unsurpassed winter and spring grazing. If not grazed too close- ly at seeding time, it will reseed itself. This grass wili solve your winter pas- ture problem. Another use of Rye Grass is as a nurse crop for clovers on land being started to permanent pas- tures. Seeds should be broadcast on a firm seed bed and harrowed in lightly. Use 28 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre, if sown alone; 10 to 15 pounds when sown with other seeds.
SIDEOATS GRAMA
Has the longest grazing period of any range bunch grass. Low in moisture, but nutritious and fattening, green or dry. Thrives best on limestone, sand- stone and shale soils. Drouth-resistant, easy to establish and control. Plants erect to spreading and form dense turf 14% to 3 feet tall. Plant February to May; July, 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. VELVET GRASS Also Known as Mesquite
(Not Texas Curly Mesquite)
A hardy long-lived perennial with soft broad leaves, never getting coarse. Grows from 8 to 12 inches high. Es- pecially recommended to sow with other grasses. Provides good grazing or pro- duces a good quantity of hay, but if planted alone does not yield as large a tonnage as many other grasses. Drouth resistant and adaptable to most soil conditions. Sow in September or October; also March and April, 20 to 25 lbs. per acre.
WEEPING LOVEGRASS Eaten readily by livestock either dry or green. Has long grazing period. This long lived, perennial bunch grass grows rapidly into large dense clumps. Spreads by offsets forming at nodes on stems which send out aerial runners to establish themselves as new plants. Gives good results on most any type soil. Drouth and cold resistant. Plant
February to June, 1 to 2% lbs. per acre.
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS Perennial bunch grass. Hardy and
long-lived. Because of deep root sys- tem (5-6 ft.), it is highly drouth re-
Austrian Winter Peas
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘C’’
Austrian Winter Peas resemble the Early English Pea in seed size and the Canada Pea in character of vine. Recommended as a winter legume cover crop for soil improvement, when inoculated with Nitragin. Austrian Winter Peas thrive even after being subjected to zero temperatures. Does well on most any soil and grows from 4 to 5 feet tall on fertile soil. Provide excellent grazing for live stock or a good hay crop or an outstanding green manure crop. Planted in orchards and plowed under in the spring increases fertility. Plant from September to November also in the spring, 30 to 35 pounds to the acre when planted alone. If planted following a cultivated crop, it is not necessary to plow the ground, simply disc or harrow and cover the seeds lightly with a drag or roller. We recommend plant- ing with Rye, Barley or Wheat to hold the vines off the ground. A bushel of small grain with 20 to 25 pounds of Austrian Winter Peas to the acre.

Pasture Mixtures TESTED AND PROVED FOR EACH SECTION
North and Central Texas — Ber- muda, in North and Central Texas, may be established from seed or may be sodded in clumps, and since it spreads very rapidly, you get a good stand quickly. If you sod, or if you already have a Bermuda stand, plant our Pasture Mixture for North and Central Texas. This consists of Rye, Dallis, and Rescue Grasses, Hubam, Spotted Leaf Bur, and Sweet Clover. Sow at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per acre.
East Texas Sandy Uplands—In this section, also it is very desirable to have a Bermuda base. Our mixture consists of Rescue, Dallis, and Rye} Grasses and Hubam, Lespedeza and Spotted Leaf Bur Clovers, which should be sown at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre.
East Texas Black Lands—Mixture consists of Bermuda, Rescue, Rye and Dallis Grasses, and Hubam, Hop and Sweet Clovers. Sow at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. Where a stand of Bermuda is al- ready had, the mixture may be ordered without the Bermuda Grass Seed.

COMMON SUDAN
An annual. Being hardy, it may be planted wherever there is sufficient fer- tility to produce cotton or corn. Sur- vives drouth remarkably well. For hay, sow broadcast and harrow in, using from 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre. Grass should not be grazed until plants are from 15 to 18 inches high. Plant when soil is warm from March to July. Sudan is a splendid forage crop, that has proved of immeasurable value to Texas farmers. For temporary pasture or supplemental grass and hay, it is thoroughly dependable. Our seeds are pure, true to type and free from all noxious weeds, and Johnson Grass.
Hairy Winter Vetch
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘C’’
recorded.
The method of planting and cultivating Vetch has a tremendous in- fluence on the growth, weather hardiness and final yield. First in- oculate seed with Nitragin; then apply 150 pounds or more of 20% Phosphate, to the acre. Loosen soil from 3 to 5 inches; plant seeds not less than 2% inches deep; sow 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre from August to November for winter pasture and soil improvement, and in the early spring for summer pasture. We recommend equal amounts of Vetch and Oats sown together so Vetch will have proper support in growing. When crop is turned under in the spring for green manure, disc or harrow the land before planting another crop.
Hairy Winter Vetch—Proved the best of the vetches in five years of tests in the Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations. This variety not only produced the highest yields during each year of the test, but was more dependable during periods of cold weather and other adverse climatic conditions. Under average conditions yielded from 8 to 10 tons per acre; 12 to 14 tons were not unusual and 19 tons have been
Common Vetch—Not quite so hardy as Hairy Winter Vetch but very fine and well adapted to most of Texas.

MAKING A NEW LAWN
Here are the six steps to successful new lawn making: 1. Spade to a depth of at least 6 inches. 2. Pulverize the soil thoroughly, work- ing in humus material, such as peat moss, as required to condition the soil. 3. Distribute evenly 4 lbs. of Vigoro per 100 sq. ft. of area and work it into the top inch or two of the seed bed. 4. Seed with Magnolia Good Grass Seed, weed free and high in germination. 5. Roll the lawn to compact the soil and assure good contact between soil and seed. This step is essential. A tamper may be used if a roller is not available. 6. Water with a fine spray daily until germination of the seed is complete, and the young seedlings well started. Then water as needed, but always water thoroughly. Light sprinkling en- courages shallow roots.
REVITALIZING AN ESTABLISHED LAWN
Start by feeding your lawn a balanced, complete meal of 4 lbs. of Vigoro per 100 sq. ft. of lawn area. Apply only when the grass is dry. Vigoro is most effectively applied with a Vigoro Spreader, but may be applied with a kitchen colander or broadcast by hand. Next, soak the lawn thoroughly. A day or two after feeding go over the entire lawn, loosening up the soil on thin areas with an iron rake. Next, reseed these areas with Magnolia Good Grass Seed. Roll or tamp the newly seeded areas to make certain the seed is in firm contact with the soil. A little fine top-soil sifted, especially over the reseeded areas, is helpful. Water daily until germination of

BERMUDA GRASS
Bermuda Grass is, undoubtedly, the best lawn grass for the South (except in shaded areas, where it does not do well). Bermuda succeeds on practical- ly all kinds of soils and, once estab- lished, it will not be killed out by hot, dry weather.
Bermuda Grass, Magnolia Extra Fancy Unhulled — Germinates in from 21 to 30 days. Sow February to July, 7 to 10 lbs. to 1000 sq. ft. (20’x50’) of lawn area. Mixing 4 or 5 parts of dry sand with one part Bermuda seed, by bulk, before sowing, makes broadcasting easier and more uniform.
Bermuda Grass, Magnolia Hulled— Germinates in from 7 to 10 days. Sow April to August, 4 to 5 Ibs. to 1000 sq. ft. of lawn area. Other planting direc- tions same as for Unhulled Bermuda.
CENTIPEDE GRASS
Centipede Grass—A low growing per- ennial grass, spreading by creeping runners that root at each joint. The stems of runners lie close to the ground and have a long heavy root system. It has no underground runner and is easy to control. In appearance, it is half way between St. Augustine and Bermuda and of good green color. At maturity attains a height of 3 to 4 inches. Will grow in any soil regardless of fertil-

ity if it is properly drained, After it establishes, withstands drouth. Seed not available, lawns are established by planting rooted plants or stolens. Plant stolens 4 to 6 inches apart in both di- rections. After the grass is established, 3 or 4 mowings a year will keep the grass in good shape, but an occasional mowing helps to maintain an even turf. This grass is chiefly a lawn grass and should not be planted where livestock is to graze as it contains very little food value. Centipede requires little feeding. A light application of Vigoro once a year is sufficient. Write for de- scriptive folder.
Kentucky Blue Grass —- Germinates in 21 to 30 days. A desirable lawn grass for some sections of the South and parts of Texas, however it does not stand up well under the hot sun and dry conditions of much of Texas. Ken- tucky Blue Grass does do well in, and 1s recommended for, shaded areas where water for sprinkling is available. Sow in late winter or early spring, 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft.
RECOMMENDED GRASS MIXTURES
Magnolia Shady Lawn Mixture — A mixture of grasses that thrive in shade, under trees or close to walls. Remember that trees use a lot of plant food. Your lawn under trees, therefore, must be given much more plant food and moisture. 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft.
Magnolia Winter Lawn Mixture— Sow during September or October at the rate of one pound to two hun- dred sq. ft. Before sowing, mow the lawn closely and if the Bermuda is very thick, give it a top dressing of one inch loamy soil and Vigoro. Then rake the lawn and water thor- oughly. If allowed to seed in the spring this grass will reseed itself, but if kept cut it must be replanted.
Red Top Grass—Makes a green winter lawn. Well adapted for grass mixtures, or may be planted in the Bermuda lawn in the fall.
St. Augustine Grass — Grows in the shade. Seed not available. Must be propagated from sod. One square yard of sod cut in 3 inch squares and dis- tributed evenly over 10 square yards of lawn area, will cover quickly.
White Dutch Clover—Mixed with lawn grasses. White Dutch Clover shows up well in the cooler months. It also does well in shaded areas. Sow. in fall or early spring, 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. Inocu- late seeds with Nitragin B, clover will then add to the lawn sod fertility.
Winter Rye Grass—Winter lawns were a luxury in the days when making them required digging up the establish- ed lawn. Now, you can enjoy a beauti- ful, green lawn all winter, without dis- turbing your permanent grass, by fol- lowing these simple rules: 1. In the fall, cut the permanent grass closely, remove clippings. 2. Apply Vigoro evenly, 4 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft., and work down by ruffling the grass with the back of your iron rake. 3. Sow evenly with Winter Rye Grass, 1 lb. to 100 sq. ft., rake in lightly and soak down thoroughly. Keep the seed and _ soil moist until growth is well started. The Winter Rye Grass will die out when it turns warm in the spring, and the per- manent grass will come out as usual. Feed the permanent grass with Vigoro, 4 lbs. to 100 sq. ft.
In the latter part of August and early September when the days be- come shorter, the nights cooler, and the frequent fall rains start, it’s nature’s and the successful garden- ers’ laws making time. Fall weather
is ideal for quick germination and sturdy development of grass. Late summer and early fall made lawns will have a luxuriant top growth an deep, sturdy root growth by the time winter comes.

Shand be planted in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. These flow-
ers make their growth early and do
very little in mid-summer. By feed- ing and cutting off faded flowers, they can be revived to bloom in the fall.
CULTURE V
Not only garden flowers, but also can be used as winter flowering house plants. For garden use, handle ac- cording to II. For house plants, sow late in the season as old plants do not bloom well. As soon as the second pair of leaves appear, plant in 244” pots and keep shifting to larger pots, not more than two sizes larger, until they are in 6” pots. Annuals in pots should have five to six hours of direct sun- shine daily if they are to flower in- doors.
CULTURE VI
Except for a short time-during the fall, perennials may be seeded any time during the year. They can be seeded in cold frames during the early spring and will grow when warmer weather comes. Cold frames or beds shaded from direct sun are best. Peren- nials are weak growers and need a well fertilized, friable seed bed so that a thick mat of roots will form and they will transplant easier. Cover lightly and water with a fine spray.

w FLOWERS all Year ‘Round
When second leaves show, transplant to permanent positions or they can left in the seedbeed until the following spring. Planting earlier does not in- crease the chance for first year blooms, but if it is more convenient to start perennials earlier in the spring, Cul- ture I may be used.
CULTURE VII
Because these annuals do not trans- plant readily and need a longer grow- ing period than can be given them out of doors, they must be started in pots or plant bands and set into per- manent position without disturbing the roots. Otherwise culture is the same as I. The use of plant bands is pre- ferred as the bands can be set directly in the soil where they soon rot and the seedlings will grow as if started in the garden.
CULTURE VIII
Biennials make a leafy growth the first year and bloom the following year. The flower or spike or stem ap- pears the second year, after which the plant dies. If a continuous bloom is wanted from biennials, a new planting must be made each year. Biennials are handled the same as perennials except that to allow the plant to store food for the next year’s bloom, the seed should be sown as early in the spring as the soil can be worked.
