Kaffir Corn 
One of the best for- 
age plants. The 
heads contain small 
white seeds, which 
make an_ excellent 
flour. The heads are 
greedily eaten by 
horses and cattle and 
make splendid food 
for poultry, fed 
either in the grain or 
ground and cooked. 
The foliage and 
stalks make excellent 
forage. Cultivate the 
same as common 
corn, requiring four 
or five pounds of 
seed per acre. 100 
Ibs. $1.75. 
Dwarf 
Essex Rape 
This plant is ex- 
é tensively grown for 
forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure, 
for which purpose there is perhaps no better plant 
adapted where a quick, rank growth is desired. Pre- 
pare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July 
with a turnip drill, in rows two and a half feet apart at 
the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. 
Our stock is the true Essex Dwarf, and not the worth- 
less annual. 100 Ibs. $8.00. 
Sorghum, or Cane 
Early Amber Sorghum.—Fur- 
nishes a large yield of most nu- 
tritious forage, which can be fed 
either green or cured, and will 
yield two or three cuttings 
a year, stooling out thicker each 
time it is cut. The saccharine 
matter is of the first quality, and 
it also produces a fine sugar or 
syrup. It grows ten or twelve 
feet high. Sow at the rate of 
one peck per acre in drills three 
and a half to four feet apart 
Peck 35c.; bush. $1.75. 
Early Orange Sorghum.—This 
variety is a favorite wherever 
used; it is similar in growth to 
Early Amber, but under fair 
conditions produces a heavier

crop. It is better for stock 
feeding than the Amber. Per 
bushel $1.75. 
Buckwheat 
Japanese.—This variety yields very largely. The ker- 
aels are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branch- 
ing qualities it need not be sown so thickly. Peck 40c.; 
bushel about $1.25. 
Silver Hull.—A superior variety in every way to the 
erdinary Buckwheat, which it has almost entirely super- 
seded. Peck 35c.; bushel about $1.25. Current prices 
quoted on application. 
White Spring Oats 
Our best recleaned stock of these are Choice Northern 
grown, all heavy oats, which have been recleaned by us.

Southern 
Cow Peas 
There is no surer or 
cheaper means of im- 
proving and increasing 
the productiveness of 
our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It 
makes an enormous growth, enabling the 
farmer to put plenty of nitrogenous vege- 
table matter into the soil at a small cost, 
and so very largely enables him to dis- 
pense with the use of nitrogenous com- 
mercial fertilizers, and has the power to 
extract this costly nitrogen from the at- 
mosphere and to store the same in the 
vines and roots, so that if the crop is cut 
off, the land is still enriched and its con- 
dition improved. From five to nine tons 
of green fodder per acre have been pro- 
duced by the Cow Pea. To grow for hay 
they are valuable. For ensilage they are 
| their crop ready for cutting in May or June. 
| be sown in open weather during December, January, 
unsurpassed. When it is desired to turn 
the whole crop under, as a soil improver, 
it is better to do so after the vines are 
partly dead. Cow Peas can be sown in 
May or June, at the rate of one and a-half 
bushels per acre. 
Black.—This variety is quick to ma- 
\ ture, and well adapted for late planting 
Min Northern sections; it is a vigorous 
grower and great yielder. Bushel $2.50. 
Price fluctuates. 
Black Eye.—A prolific vine-growing variety of merit, 
seed often sold for table use. Peck 50c.; bush. $2.50. 
Whipporwill—A favorite early bunch-growing va- 
riety; has brown-speckled seeds which are more easily 
gathered than from the vine-growing sorts. This va- 
riety is a prime favorite in the North and West on ac- 
count of its early maturity and habit of growth. Bush. 
2.50. Price fluctuates. 
Canada Field Peas 
These field Peas are entirely different from the Cow 
Pea, requiring to be sown early in the spring. making 
They can 
February and March, and making large yields of most 
| nutritious food, which can be used either green or cured 
for hay. It also makes a good green manuring crop to 
turn under, but is not equal in this respect to Cow Peas. 
They can be sown alone at the rate of one and one-half 
| to two bushels to the acre, but a light seeding of oats, 
rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support 
the pea vines when the crop comes to maturity. The 
crop is ready for cutting in May and June, and cures 
easily and makes splendid hay. Price fluctuates. Price, 
January 1st, peck, 50c.; bushel, $2.35. Special price 
quoted on large lots. Cotton bags, holding two bushels 
each, I5c. extra. 
Soy, or Soja Beans 
A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Im- 
mense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being 
an Excellent Soil Improver. 
The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great 
soil enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the 
green and dry state. In some parts of the South it is 
extensively grown only for feeding pigs. Agricultural 
Bulletins throughout the Southern States praise it with- 
out stint. To plow under in the green state it is cer- 
tainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas, to 
sow on account of its soil-enriching qualities. It wili 
draw from the air and return to the earth just the nour- 
ishment needed. Peck 75c.; bush. $2.50. Subject to mar- 
ket fluctuations. 
Sand, or Winter Vetch 
Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of 
all Vetches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and is spe- 
cially recommended for poor lands, where it thrives and 
improves the soil wonderfully, as it is very rich in nitro- 
gen. It belongs to the pea family, but the vines are more 
leafy and longer. It may be sown in the spring or in the 
fall, preferably with rye. It remains green all winter 
and is valuable for early pasturing, as well asa fertilizer. 
Peck $1.50: bush. of 60 Ibs. $6.00.
