Cow Peas 



New Era Cow Peas. 43 Days After Planting 



1159. ?Jew Era. This new extra early Cow Pea is unquestionably 

 one of the most valuable varieties in cultivation. It is quicker in 

 growth than any other Cow Pea in cultivation; makes a very large 

 growth of vine and very prolific j'ield of Peas. The vines stand up- 

 right, enabling the Peas to be easily gathered. The Peas are fully 

 one-third smaller in size than any other Cow Pea, so that it does 

 not require nearly as many to seed an acre. Please Write Us For

326. Long White Cow-Horn Turnip 



It has been found by practical farmers that there is no better waj' 

 of aerating and adding humus to the soil in the winter time than by 

 sowing the Long White Cow-Horn Turnip. They can be fed to the 

 stock as they are needed and the rest allowed to remain in the 

 ground and rot, having a valuable fertilizing property and soil im- 

 prover. They grow nearly half out of the ground, are carrot-like in 

 form, very nutritious , heavy cropper and fine keeper. Sow two 

 pounds of seed to the acre, broadcast. Oz. 10c. K Lb. 15c. Lb. 35c.

The great soil improvers. Makes poor land rich. Makes good land 



more productive. Also makes a splendid and nutritious 



green forage or hay crop, enriching the soil 



even when the crop is cut off. 



1175. Mixed Cow Peas. We strongly recommend sowing Mixed Cow Peas 

 as a soil improving crop. The upright growing varieties holding up the vining va- 

 rieties, they will make much better growth and give more satisfactory results, yield- 

 ing better crops of vines and more forage. They are composed of the Blacks, Black 

 Eye. Clays, Whip-poor-wills, Wonderfuls, New Era and .Soja Beans. If once tried 

 you will sow no others where large crops are desired. Please U'rite Us For Pi-ices. 



1167. Soja Beans. The great drought-resisting forage crop: unsurpassed in 

 nutritive value for feeding, also a splendid soil improver. Please Write I's For

 but 10 days earlier and more prolific. Please Write Us For Prices. 



1165. Canada Field Peas. Here is a crop which is not only profitable but will 

 return to the land the much needed nitrogen. Peas are second only to Clover in 

 their soil enriching properties and can be grown under almost any condition of soil 

 or climate. There is always a ready market for peas, or they can be profitably 

 ground and fed to the stock. The vines make rich, nutritious hay. If fed to milch 

 cows, when iu a green state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost 

 doubled. 



Peas are a paying crop and can be profitably planted in many ways. 



First. When sown alone about three bushels are required to the acre. They 

 can be matured and threshed when dry. The yield will vary from 30 to 60 bushels 

 an acre. 



Second. Peas and oats are frequently sown together, using Wi bushel of peas 

 and 2 bushels of oats an acre. By so doing a double crop can be secured. The^- can 

 be threshed at one time and readily separated in cleaning. 



Third. They can be sown alone or with oats and fed green. It is surprising 

 the amount of fodder which is produced in this way. If sown together, the peas 

 should be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep: the oats may then 

 be drilled in. 



Fourth. For plowing under when peas and oats are sown together and each are 

 "in milk" they are nearly equal iu value to Clover, used in the same way, to enrich 

 the soil. 



Sown in January, February or early March. Pk. 60c. Bu. $2.00. Write For Prices. 



Seed Oats, Rye, Barley, Buckwheat, Flax, Etc. 



1156. Bnrt or 90-Day Oats. The earliest, most prolific and surest cropping of Spring Oats: far superior to an ordinary spring or rust-proof oats for 

 spring seeding. Wherever this Oat is grown it comes into great favor. For a Spring Oat for seeding iu March and April it is the best and surest of Spring 

 Oats. It is earlier to mature, free from rust, healthy, clean and vigorous growth of straw, and makes a very good yield of clean, bright and heavy grain. 

 On account of its earliness to mature, it escapes the dry hot weather we frequently experience in June, and is on this account, one of the surest cropping 

 varieties of the South. Color and appearance of grain somewhat resemble the rust-proof Oat. Pk. 25c. Bu. 75c. Please JVrtle Us For Latest Prices. 



1161. Virginia Gray Winter or Tnrf Oats. When sown early .before the middle of March, these oats will far outyield the ordinarj- spring oats.making 

 a larger crop and heavier grain. For seed purposes, too, it is most desirable to sow winter oats iu the spring, as the.v make a bettci and cleaner seed oats 

 for sowing in the Fall than if continual seedings are made from the fall-grown oats. Further norlh than Virginia remarkable results have been obtained 

 from these oats, when sown even as late as the first of May, and from the reports of our customers we strongly recommend these oats to our Northern and 

 Western farmers, as we believe that they will give verj' much larger and better yielding crops than the spring oats usually sown in the Northern and 

 "Western Stales. Sow at the rate of 15^ to 2 bushels per acre. Pk. 25c. Bu. 75c. Please 

 Write Us For P-ices on Large Lots. 



1191. Bed Rnst-Proof Oats. These oats are very popular throughout the South. espe- 

 cially on the light, sandy soils of the coast region. They are also preferred for low grounds 

 or in situations where other oats are much inclined to rust. Pk.25c. Bu. 75c. Prices fluctuate. 



1157. White Spring Oats. This is the variety most generally sown throughout the 

 North and West, and is also so largely grown in this section, although the newest varie- 

 ties off-^red by us are decidedly preferable, both as to yield and reliability of cropping.

1209. Beardless Spring Barley. This crop has been sown with very satisfactory 

 results for two or three seasons past in this section and further South. It makes a quick- 

 growing crop of most excellent and nutritious green feed and is growing in popularity 

 wherever it is used, and will also make a good grain crop, although its principal value is 

 as an early, nutritious forage crop, either to feed green or to cure as hay. Sow VA to 2 

 bushels per acre. Price, $1.50 per bushel. Please Write Us For Market Prices. 



1135. Spring Rye. Distinct from the Winter Rye, grain of finer quality and more pro- 

 ductive; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being largely grown in the 

 Middle States in place of oats, being a much more profitable crop on account of the pro- 

 duction of nearly four times the straw, and also as a "catch" crop where winter grain has 

 failed. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like Winter Rye, 

 not less than two bushels to the acre should be sown. Bu. $1.00. Please Write For Prices. 



1194. Flax. When grown for seed, sow one bushel to acre: if fibre is wanted 2 to 3 

 bushels. Lb. 10c. (Postpaid 18c.) Pk. 85c. Bu. of 56 Lbs. $2.75. Prices fluctuate. 



RlirlcwTlPTlf' ^°'^ a late Summer crop Buckwheat is very desirable and profitable, 

 UUCIVVVlivClt especially in mountainous sections. Itis easily grown, makes splendid 

 flower food for bees and a large yield of grain, which can usually be sold for remunerative 

 prices. As a smothering crop, where the land conUiins objectionable weeds, it is very de- 

 sirable, and it puts the soil in admirable condition for crops to follow. 



1160. Japanese Bnck-wheat. This variety of Buckwheat ripens a week earlier than 

 the Silver Hull, and yields more largely than that variety. Pk. 35c. Bu. $1.00. Please 

 Write Us For Latest f^'ices. 



1178. Silver Hnll Buck-wheat. A prolific and favorite sort, making a fine quality, 

 flour. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat, which it has almost 

 entirely superseded. Pk.35c. Bu. $1.00. Please Wtite Us For Latest Pi-ices. 



1210. Cnltnre. Prepare your ground as you would for 

 wheat or oats, sow at the rate of two bushels per acre. Itis 

 extremely hardy and can be sown earlier than spring wheat or oats, as light frost does nol 

 affect it; it can be sown later, but early sowing is better. Please Write For Prices.
