1175. Mixed Cow Peas.— We strongly recommend sow- 

 ing the Mixed Cow Peas as a soil improving crop. The 

 upright growing varieties holding up the vining varieties, 

 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.

(Jow-pea 



«* Burt or Ninety-Day Oats. 



The earliest, most prolific and surest 

 cropping of Spring Cats ; far sup- 

 erior to ordinary spring or rust- 

 proof oats for spring seeding. 



Wherever this Oat is grown, it speedily 

 comes into great favor. For a spring Oat for 

 seeding in March and April it is unquestion- 

 ably the best and surest yielding of spring 

 Oats; the advantages claimed for it being 

 that it is earlier to mature, free from rust, 

 healthy, clean and vigorous growth of straw, 

 and makes a remarkably good yield of clean, 

 bright, heavy grain. On account of its earli- 

 ness to mature, it escapes the hot, dry weather 

 which we frequently experience in June, and 

 is, on this account, one of the surest-cropping 

 varieties for the South. Color and appearance 

 of grain somewhat resemble the rust-proof 

 Oat, but it is a little lighter in color. Bus. 

 80c. In 10 bus. lots and over, 75c per bus. 

 Special prices on large lots. 

 1 161 . Virginia Gray Winter, or Turf Oats. 

 — When sown before the middle of March, 

 these Oats will far outyield the ordinary 

 spring Oats, making a larger crop and heavier 

 grain. Further north than Virginia, remark- 

 able results have been obtained fiom these 

 Oats, when sown even as late as the first of 

 May, and from the reports we strongly recom- 

 mend them to our northern farmers, as we 

 believe that they will give very much larger 

 and better yielding crops than the spring Oats 

 usually sown in the northern and 'western 

 states. Sow at the rate of VA to 2 bushels per 

 acre. Price fluctuates. Present price, Gold 

 Brand, 80c bus. In 10 bus. 'lots and over. 

 75c per bus. 



1157. White Spring Oats.— Sow at the rate 

 of 2 bushels per acre in February, March or 

 April, the earlier the better. Price of our 

 Gold Brand (heaviest and cleanest quality) , 

 about 60c per bus., bags included. Choice 

 quality White Spring Oats, about 55c per 

 bus. Special prices on largelots. 



BUCKWHEAT. 



1160. Japanese.— This variety of Buckwheat 

 ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, 

 and yields more largely than that variety. 

 The kernels are larger than those of other 

 sorts, but, owing to its branching qualities, it 

 need not be sown quite so thickly. PH. 40c. 

 Bushel about $1.00. 



BURT OR NINETY- DAY OATS. 



1176. Larg'e BlacKeye. — The Large Blackeye Peas are more prolific, better 

 flavored, and bring a higher price than the ordinary Blackeye, and farmers 

 will find it more profitable to plant these than the ordinary Blackeye ; they 

 make a more profitable crop to grow for picking the dry peas for sale 

 in our markets during the winter ; at the same time make an excellent soil- 

 improver, being similar in growth of vine and action of roots upon the soil 

 to the Black and the Wonderful Cow Peas. While, of course, allowing the 

 peas to fully mature, and harvesting the dried peas detracts somewhat from 

 their value as an improver, still where parties desire to make a money crop 

 and at the same time to improve the soil, these are especially desirable.

>Iangel-Wurzels 



1178. Silver Hull. — A prolific and favorite sort, making a fine quality of 

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

 it has almost entirely superseded. About $1.10 per Bus. Current prices 

 quoted on application. 



1135. Spring' Rye.— The straw is equally as valuable as that of the fall or 

 winter rye, standing stiff. 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain 

 per acre. As it does not stool like winter rye, not less than 2 bushels to the 

 acre should be sown. PKt. 10c. Lb. 15c. PK. 35c. Bus. $1.15.

 New Jumbo Mangel has no equal. It is a milk producer of the highest 

 -quality and at the same time keeps the cattle over winter in prime condition. 

 It will outyield any other Mangel two to one._ It is easy to grow, producing 

 immense roots in great quantities, thus yielding a most profitable crop.

 fine flavored Mangel. Among the Yellow Mangel it stands superior. The 

 milk it produces when fed to cows is of the richest character. As one 

 ■experienced farmer puts it, "The Gate Post Mangel is a butter and milk 

 producer of the first merit." If you want the best Yellow Mangel you ever 

 crew, send for Bolgiano's Gate Post Mangel. PKt. 5c 1/4 Lb. 10c.

 mense size, 20 to 30 pounds each, of fine texture and of good quality; 

 is remarkable for broad shoulder and massive shape of the root, by 

 which a great weight is obtained without coarseness. In England it has 

 produced from 60 to 75 tons of roots to the acre. PKt. 5c 1/4 Lb. 10c

 of sugar. PKt «c 1/4 Lb. 10c. 1/2 Lb. 15c Lb. 22c 5 Lbs. $1.00. 



MAMMOTH YELLOW SOJA BEANS. 



As a forage and feed crop, Soja Beans are proving to be very profitable and 

 desirable. They make a large growth, stand up well, and can be cut and 

 cured to advantage. They furnish rich feed, containing more oil and fat- 

 tening properties than any other dry forage crop. Btst farmers 

 practically the only crop that furnishes a balanced ration in one crop. Our 

 report that they do not find it necessary to feed corn or any oil 

 foods whatever, when feeding Soja Beans. Soja Beans do equally well on 

 both light and heavy soils. Soja Beans also make a most desirable land- 

 improver, and there is no crop that cleans land better than Soja Beans. Soja 

 Beans resist the drought and hot weather to a remarkble extent. For sow- 

 ing for cutting as hay or forage crop, or as a soil improving crop, Soja Beans 

 should be sown at the rate of from 1 to 1% bushels per acre. Sowing them 

 thickly will prevent the stalk from growing too coarse, and will enable them 

 to be cut and turned under to better advantage. When sowing for ensilage, 

 it is better to sow in corn, at the rate of about one peck to the acre. Sowing 

 to harvest a crop of the shelled beans, they should be sown by themselves, 

 in drills $% feet apart, at the rate of 1 to 114 pecks per acre, and cultivated. 

 They will make their largest yield of beans put in this way. Market 

 prices. Special quotations cheerfully given. 



1165. Panaris Fiolz-l Paac Under favorable circumstances it 



V^clllctua 1 1C1U 1 Cd&. will yield more good hay to the acre 

 than any similar crop that can be seeded early in the spring, and it makes 

 a complete food, feeding grain being unnecessary when horses and cattle are 

 fed oat-pea hay. These peas should be sown in January, February or early 

 in March, at the rate of 1 to VA bushels per acre, and the same quantity of 

 Burt or Spring Oats. Price for best quality of peas, about $1.60 per Bos.; 

 cotton sacks, holding 2 bus. each, 18c extra. Special prices on large lots. 



Seed Wheat. 



We sell thousands of bushels of the best and most 

 improved varieties of Seed Wheat every year, and 

 our Wheats have attained a very high reputation on account of their cleanli- 

 ness and superior quality. We issue during the summer a descriptive list 

 of Seed Wheat and other seeds for fall sowing, which we shall take pleas- 

 ure in mailing to any one upon request. 



Culture of Cattle Beets. — They should be sown from April to June in 

 drills 2 feet apart, and afterwards thinned out to stand 1 foot apart in the 

 rows. Keep well cultivated, and you will have an abundant crop of roots.
