Cow Peas 



New Era Cow Peas. 43 Days After Planting 



1159. New Era. This ne-w extra early Cow Pea is unquestionably 

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

 growth than any othfr Cow Pea in cultivation: makes a very large 

 growthof vine and very prolific yield of Peas. The ^■ines stand up- 

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

 one-tiiird smaller in size than the ordinary Cow Pea, so that it does 

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

 Prices. 



325. Long White Cow-Horn Turnip 



It has been found by practical fa'-mers that there is no better way 

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

 sowing the I^ong White Cow-Honi Turnip. They can be fed to the 

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

 ground and rot. ha^ig a valuable fertilizing property and soil im- 

 prover. They grow nearlj- 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. % i,b. iSc. l,b. 40c.

"Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this countrj- every 

 year than is now purchased annually by tlie farmers at the cost of millions of 

 dollars." — Year book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



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. "V\'e strongly recommend so-nnug the Mixed Cow Peas 

 as a soil impro^"ing crop. The upright growing varieties holding up the vining va- 

 rieties, they will make much better and give more satisfactory results, yielding 

 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 Write Xjs for Prices.

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

 return to the land thcmuch 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 in a green state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost 

 doubled. 



Peas are a paying crop and can be profitablj' planted in many waj's. 



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 iK bushel of peas 

 and 2 bushels of oats an acre. By so doing a double crop can be secured. They 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 w-ay. If town together, the peas 

 should b- sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the oats may then 

 be drilled in. 



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

 "in milk" they are nearlj' equal in value to Clover, used in the same way. to enrich 

 the soil. 

 Sown in January, February or early March. Pk. 45c. Bu. $2.00. Write for prices. 



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



1156. Burt, or 90-Day Oats. The earliest, most prolific and surest cropping of Spring Oats: far superior to O' dinary spring or rust-proof oats for spring 

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

 It is earlier to mature, free from rust, healthv, clean and vigorous growth of straw, and makes a very good yield of clean, bright and heavy g-am. On ac- 

 count of its earliness to mature, it escapes the drv hot weather we frequently experience m June,, and is on this account, one of the surest cropping varieties 

 of the South. Colorand appearanceof grain somewhat resemble the rust-proof Oat. Pk. 25c. Bu. 90c. Wriie for Paces on large lots. 



1161. Virginia Gray Winter or Tuff Oats, when sown earlv, before the middle of March, these oats will far outyield the ordmary spring oats, making 

 a 1 irger crop and heavier grain. For seed purposes, too, it is most desirable to sow winter oats m the spring, as Uiey make a better and cleaner seed oats 

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

 from these oats, when sown even as late as the first of Ma v, 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 very much larger and belter yielding crops than the sprmg oats usually sown m the northern and western 

 states. Sow at the rate of l}-< to 2 bushels per acre. Pk. 30c. Bu. $1.00. Please write for 

 Prices on la-'ge lots. 



1191. Red Rust-Proof Oats. Theseoatsare very popular throughout the South, espec- 

 ially on the light, sandy soils of the const region. They are al>o preferred for l<-,w grounds 

 or in situations where otheroats are much inclineii to rust. Pk.25c. Bu.51.00. Prices fluctuate. 



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

 North and West, and is also quite largely grown in this section, although the newer varie- 

 ties offered by us are decidedly preferable, both as to yield and reliability of cropping. 

 Price of our Gold Brand, (heaviest and cleanest quality) aboutSOcper bu.. "Silver" choice 

 quality. White -Spring oats, about 75c per Bu. Please write us for Market prices. 



1209. Beardless Spring Ba"ley. This crop has been sown with very satisfactory results 

 for two o r three sen.sons 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 aNo make a go.'^d grain crop, although its principal value is as an early, 

 nutritious forage crop, either to feed gieen or to cure as hay. Sow 1}^ to 2 bushels per acre. 

 Price, $1.75 per bnshet. 



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

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

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

 tion 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 th.an two bushels to the acre should be'sown. Bu. $1.40. Please write for prices. 



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

 bushels. Ub. 10c. (postpaid ISc.) Pk. $l.uO. Bu. of 56 lbs. $3.75. 



Rllf IcwIlPTit For a late summer crop Buckwheat is very desirable and profitable, 

 JJUCIWyllCdL especially in mountainous sections. It is easily grown, makes splendid 

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

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

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



1160. JapaneNe BucKwheat, This variety of Buckwheat ripens a week earlier than the 

 Sliver Hull, and yields more largely tlian that variety. Pk. 30c. Bu. Sl.OO. Please w-rite for 

 Prices. 



1178. Silver Hull BucKwheat. A prolific and favorite sort, making a fine quality flour, 

 A superior variety ill evfry way to the ordinary Buckwheat, which it has almost entirely 

 superseded. Pk. 35c. Bu. $1.00. Please write for prices.
