longs. The vine is usually trailed on a trellis 
or fence. Plant the whole pear with broad

COTTON 
SELECTED VARIETIES 


Planting time, March and April. One bushel 
is required to plant one acre. Thoroughly 
break and prepare the ground early. Rows 
should be 34 to 4 feet apart and hills 12 to 
14 inches apart in the row. When the cotton 
comes up it should be off-barred deep while 
it is small in order to let the heat of the sun 
strike the beds. As the plants get larger, shal- 
low down and towards the last, cultivate 
very shallow. Always keep the top crust of 
the ground broken in dry weather, as it pre- 
vents it from losing its form. Never stop 
plowing for wet weather until the ground 
turns in slices then quit immediately until 
it dries off. Never lay by until the middle 
of August. The first week in April has been 
found to be the best time for planting cotton.

Boll Weevil. These are all good varieties 
which have been thoroughly tested and

STECKLER SEED COMPANY, Inc., NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 





We have the finest and best assortment of 
field and lawn grass seeds offered in the 
South. These selected varieties are grown 
for us by the best growers in the United 
States. Our 100 years of experience is behind 
our selection of seeds and growers. 


BERMUDA GRASS—Plant from February to 
September, 20 pounds per acre for lawns 
and 30 pounds for golf courses and 40 tor 
levee protection. Bermuda is used more 
extensively than any other grass on lawns, 
golf courses and levee protection. It has 
a narrow, thin leaf of dark green color. 
Spreads quite rapidly and grows very well 
in the South. It dies down with a heavy 
frost in the Fall but comes in in the Spring. 
It does not do well in the shade but is very 
hardy where it has sunshine. Takes about 
30 days to start. 

1 lb. $1.10; 5 lbs. $3.60, postpaid. 


CARPET GRASS—Plant from February to Sep- 
tember, 20 lbs. per acre for lawn and 30 lbs. 
for golf courses. This is a@ much coarser 
grass than Bermuda but will stand drought 
and hot weather better and also stays 
green longer in the fall. It is a natural 
perennial in Louisiana. It is used extensive- 
ly in lawns, golf courses, fairways and 
parks. It stands more shade than Bermuda. 
Takes about 30 days to start. Carpet Grass 
is also used extensively for meadows and 
pastures in the South. 

1 lb. $1.00; 5 lbs. $3.90, postpaid. 


CENTIPEDE GRASS—Low growing, thrives in 
shade or sun, requires little mowing, grows 
in rich or poor soil and requires very little 
fertilization. Finer in texture than St. Augus- 


tine. 
VY, Ib. $4.00; Y2 lb. $8.00; lb. $14.95. 


HULLED BERMUDA — Germinates within 15 
days with proper moisture conditions. High- 
est grade of Bermuda with hulls removed, 
which insure quick results and nice green 
lawns. Sow | to 2 lbs. to each 1,000 square 


feet. 
1 Ib. $1.25; 5 Ibs. $5.00, postpaid. 


DOMESTIC ITALIAN RYE GRASS—Grown in 
the United States from the imported Italian 
and English. Used extensively today in 
America for lawns, golf courses, meadows 
and pastures and is claimed to be hardier 
than the imported varieties. Slightly darker 
and stays green longer in the early sum- 
mer. Requires 300 pounds to the acre on 
lawns and golf courses and 40 to 50 pounds 
for pastures. 

1 Ib. 45c; 5 lbs. $1.75, postpaid. 


Not pre- 
paid, 10 lbs. $1.40; 


100 lbs. $11.00. 


SWEET SUDAN—An excellent forage crop.

tonnage per acre than any other forage 
crop. Plant 15 pounds per acre. March 
and April for Spring; August and Septem- 
ber for Fall. 

1 lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.90, postpaid. 


ZOYSIA JAPONICA—This fine-leaved lawn 
crass will thrive well both in full sun and 
dense shade. As it only grows from 3 to 
4 inches tall it requires very little mowing. 
The new strain we are offering grows as 
rapidly as St. Augustine Grass in warm 
weather, is immune to chinch bugs and has 
a tendency to crowd out crab grass. Full 
directions for planting with each purchase. 
Lb. $4.95, postpaid. 


KOBE LESPEDEZA 


Kobe has certainly earned a home for itself 
on Southern farms, particularly where long 
periods of drought occurred, for Kobe came 
through these droughts where Common Les- 
pedeza was burned out. The drought resist- 
ance is a life-saver to a farmer, and is no 
doubt due to the very extensive root system 
and its rank growth, with larger than or- 
dinary leaves. We have seen Kobe 36 
inches tall but usually it is 2 to 2% feet tall. 
We have seen yields of 4 tons per acre with 
Kobe. It is excellent for hay and pasture 
alike. Can be sown with oats, also with 
orchard arass and red top or herd‘s grass. 

1 Ib. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.50, postpaid.

WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET (Melilotus Alba or

Red Clover. A

CROTALARIA 
SPECTABILIS 


World’s Best Cover Crop. Build up your 
soil with this new legume. This new legume 
produces more humis and more nitrogen per 
acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and 
can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself 
each year under favorable conditions. It is 
used as a summer cover crop and soil builder 
in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. Livestock 
will not eat it, therefore you will not be 
tempted to cut it for hay when your ground 
needs it so badly. This should be planted as 
soon as danger of frost is past and at a time 
when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, 
and can be planted as late as July, either 
broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is 
required per acre for broadcasting and half 
of that amount if drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 
feet depending entirely on the locality.

discovery — SULFADENE — 
applied externally, stops itch- 
ing in minutes . . . clears up 
scales and sores in a few 

days.
