 SWEET PEA CULTURE.— Seed should be sown as early as ground can be worked in Spring to enable the vine to get a good, 

 strong growth before warm weather comes; don't plant the seed in soil that is too poor for any other culture, or in a sunless 

 location. They need a free clay loam, moderately rich, freely cultivated. Seed should be planted not less than 2 inches deep, 

 and as the plants become established bank soil against them, repeating this two or three times throughout the season. Don't 

 over-fertilize; by so doing you will produce abundance of vine and few blooms. Our Lawn Fertilizer has been found to produce 

 a healthy vine and profusion of bloom, if used in quantities of about 5 pounds to 100 feet thoroughly mixed in the soil. As the 

 flowers come into full bloom or fade, they should be cut off; if the pods are allowed to form, the plants will stop blooming.

 pink.

 and light primrose wings. 



DUKE OF CLARENCE.— Bright rose claret; sort of purple 

 maroon. 



DUKE OF SUTHERLAND.— Purplish maroon standard, In- 

 dlgo-blue wings.

BLACK COW PEA.— Quicker to mature than the Black 

 Eye Pea; better adapted for late planting or for growing in 

 districts farther North than Virginia; splendid land Improver; 

 valuable as a forage crop, making an enormous yield of rich, 

 nutritious feed. Sow in May or June 1J4 bushels to the acre. 



BLACK EYE.— Very prolific; bring a good price in market. 



CANADA FIELD PEAS. 



POPULAR and satisfactory forage and hay crop. Sown in 

 February, March or April, with a small quantity of oats, 

 they make a large yield of forage; relished by all kinds 

 of stock. Cures easily, making a splendid hay. Sow 1 to VA 

 bushels per acre broadcast with yi bushel of oats. Cut for 

 hay before the Peas mature. Per peck, 50c.; bushel, about 

 ¥1.50. Write for special prices in quantity. 



KAFFIR CORN. 



One of the best things offered of late years for a forage 

 plant. The heads contain small white seeds, which make an 

 excellent flour. They are greedily eaten by horses and cattle, 

 and make excellent feed for poultry, either fed in the grain 

 or ground and cooked. Use 4 to 5 pounds to the acre.

THE GREAT SOIL ENRICHER. 

 MAKES POOR LAND RICH. 

 MAKES GOOD LAND BETTER. 



SOJA BEANS. 



Prices on 

 Application. 



THE great drouth-resisting forage crop; unsurpassed in 

 nutritive value for feeding; also makes a splendid soil 

 improver. Experience of farmers with this Bean confirms 

 its great value, both as a forage crop and as a soil im- 

 prover. It withstood drouth better than any other forage 

 crop, and seems capable of njaking its growth, in spite of 

 more adverse conditions than any other crop which we have 

 ever grown. In point of nutritive value, it is unequaled, and 

 makes in connection with Corn, as a number of our custom- 

 ers state, a "balanced ration" grown upon the farm, saving 

 the farmer from paying out cash for oil meals, bran, etc. 

 Soja Beans should unquestionably be one of the staple crops 

 with every farmer. Peck, 40c.; bushel, $1.50. Write for spe- 

 cial prices in quantity. 



EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE. 



The saccharine matter of this early and productive variety 

 is of the first quality, and produces a fine sugar or syrup. It 

 grows 10 or 12 feet high and yields large crops of fodder, 

 which is relished by all kinds of stock. It will produce two 

 cuttings during the Summer. Culture same as Corn. Sow 

 3 or 4 quarts per acre. Lb., lOc. By mall, 20c.
