DWARF ESSEX RAPE

 sheep, and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for 

 turnips and sow in June or July in rows two and a half 

 feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed 

 per acre S0RGHUM Q R CANE 



EARLY AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of 

 most nutritious 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. 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. 



EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in 

 growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces 

 a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the 

 Amber. 



BUCKWHEAT 



JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels 

 are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching quali- 

 ties it need not be sown so thickly. 



SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the 

 ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded. 



OATS 



WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these 

 are Choice Northern grown, all heavy o^ts, which have been 

 recleaned by us. 



RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the 

 South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enor- 

 mous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay.
