Giant Kangaroo Rape 



"THE KING OF RAPES" 



RAPE is one of the most valuable fodder crops in cultiva- 

 tion. It is easily cultivated, makes strong, rapid 

 growth, and produces an abundance of highly nutritious 

 and palatable green feed greatly relished by all kinds of stock. 

 Giant Kangaroo Rape grows to a height of 1 1 feet, and 

 will fatten three more sheep to the acre than other kinds. It 

 has long, strong tap-root, enabling it to stand long periods of 

 drought; the stalks, unlike ordinary Rape, break easily and 

 are very succulent right through ; will not taint the milk. It is 

 a great fattening food for cows, horses, sheep, pigs, &c. 

 Sow 4 to 6 lbs. per acre in drills, or 8 to 12 lbs. broadcast. 

 Price, lOd. per lb.; 84/- per cwt. 



Rice Growing 



TAKASUKA SEED RICE, for which we are Sole 

 Agents, is specially suitable to Viflorian soil and 

 climate. Imported Rice mostly comes from Burmah, 

 where they cannot grow as good quality as here. An average 

 yield over a fair area is half a ton per acre, but the selected 

 variety has given over one ton per acre, which is worth from 

 £14 to £18 per ton. Rice Straw is excellent for chaff, and 

 stubble makes splendid grazing for all stock. 2/- per lb.; 1/9 

 per lb. in cwt. lots; 16 per lb. in 2 cwt. lots or more. 

 Postage or carriage extra. Ask for Descriptive Pamphlet.
