Kaffir Corn. 



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 cf 

 seed per acre, ioo 

 lbs. $2.00. 



Dwarf 

 Essex Rape 



This plant is ex- 

 tensively grown for 

 iorage, 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, ioo lbs. $8.50. 



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. $1.50. 



Early Orange Sorghum. — This 

 variety is a favorite wherever 

 vised; 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 

 Sorghum, or Cane, bushel $1.50. 



Buckwheat 



Japanese. — This variety yields very largely. The ker- 

 nels are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branch- 

 ing qualities it need not be sown so thickly. Peck 30c; 

 ''ushel about $1.00. 



Silver Hall. — A superior variety in every way to the 

 ordinary Buckwheat, which it has almost entirely super- 

 seded. Peck 30c; bushel about • $1.00. 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. 

 Bushel 75c 



Rust-Proof Oats 



A favorite spring variety in the South, particularly 

 where the land is rich; produces enormous yield, and ex- 



ellent for cutting for hay. Bushel 75c 



Southern 

 Cow Peas 



There is no surer or 

 ci:3aper 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 

 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 

 in 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. 



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 

 their crop ready for cutting in May or June. They can 

 be sown in open weather during December, January, 

 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, $1.75. Special price 

 quoted on large lots. Cotton bags, holding two bushels 

 each, 15c. 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 will 

 draw from the air and return to the earth just the nour- 

 ishment needed. Peck 75c; bush. $2.00. 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 as a fertilizer. 

 Peck $1.50; bush, of 60 lbs. $6.00.
