SAND OR HAIRY 

 VETCH 



An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding enor- 

 mously on almost any ground. It is biennial, sim- 

 ilar in growth to field peas, only that the vines are 

 much finer, longer and more thickly covered with 

 leaves and side stems. It is not unusual to find 

 vines 10 feet long. As a soiling crop it is un- 

 equalled, and for spring and fall pasture its value 

 cannot be over-estimated. Seed sown in August 

 will produce splendid fall pasturage by the middle 

 of September, after which a good covering may be 

 left on the ground to prevent washing of the soil 

 during the winter and early spring months. It 

 starts into growth again very early in spring, mak- 

 ing a very rapid growth, and will be ready to pas- 

 ture again by the middle of May, or if allowed to 

 mature will yield a heavy hay crop in June. If 

 sown in April or May it may be cut for hay in July. 



It yields enormous crops on rich soil; from 15 

 to 20 tons of green fodder to the acre not being 

 uncommon and on sandy, thin land it makes a 

 remarkably heavy growth. For planting in young 

 orchards and plowing under it possesses great 

 value. 



Sow broadcast, either in spring or fall, using 

 from 30 to 60 lbs. of seed to the acre, sowing with 

 it about % bushel of oats to support the vines. 



Per lb., 15c (by mail, 25c per lb.); 10 lbs., $1.25; 

 25 lbs., $2.75; 100 lbs., $10.00. 



SOY BEANS. 



A valuable forage crop, and an excellent soil 

 renovator. We offer only Northern grown varieties, 

 as the larger Southern grown sorts do not mature 

 in this section. The seed should not be sown until 

 the ground is warm; just after corn planting time. 

 Plant in drills 30 inches apart and three or four 

 inches apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the 

 acre for forage, or if for seed use about 2 quarts 

 more. 

 Early Black — Of medium height, plants stocky and 



prolific. 



Ito San (Early Yellow) — A dwarf early variety, 

 producing a large quantity of seed. 



Price of the above Soy Beans, per quart, 20c 

 (by mail, 35c per quart); peck, $1.00; bushel (60 

 lbs.), $3.75.
