MISCELLANEOUS FARM SEEDS 
J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 45 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan, the greatest forage crop, should be grown on every 
farm, where either hay or pasture is desired. It is highly 
resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields 
from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or 
Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be fed in unlimited 
quantities. 
Sow 10 to 20 Ibs. per acre, 1 to 1% inches deep, the 
highest quality hay resulting from heavy seeding. Should 
be harvested just before the heads appear, in the same 
manner as other grasses. Cures quickly and matures as early 
as Millet, the first cutting being ready in about 6 to 8 weeks. 
Successive cuttings may be made every 30 to 45 days until 
frost. Highly recommended by the Government as being 
very nutritious and easily digestible. Being an annual, this 
must be seeded every year and therefore never becomes a 
pest. $16.00 per 100 lbs. Subject to change. 
Kaffir Corn 
The heads are greedily eaten by horses and cattle and make 
splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or! ground 
and cooked. Excellent forage. Cultivate same as common 
corn, requiring four or five pounds per acre. 100 Ibs., $3.50. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for 
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. Lb., 10c; 100 Ibs., $9.50. 
Sorghum or Cane 
EARLY AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of 
most nutritious forage, which can be-fed either, green or 
cured, arid will yield two or three’ cuttings’ @ ‘yéar; ‘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. Peck, 90c; bu., $3.25. 
EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in 
growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions pro- 
duces a heavier crop. It is better for stock Fectiing than 
the Amber. Per bushel, $2.50. 
Buckwheat 
JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels 
are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching 
qualities it need not be sownso thickly. Peck, 60c; bushel, 
about $2.25. 
SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the 
ordinary Buckwheat, which it has almost entirely super- 
seded. Peck, 60c; bushel, about $2.25. 
Cow. Peas Growing in Corn. 
Sudan Grass. 
Oats 
WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these 
are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have 
been recleaned by us. Bushel, 85c. 
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. Bushel, 85c. 
Cow Peas 
There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and in- 
creasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the 
Cow’ Pea.’ It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from 
the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, 
so that the land is enriched and its condition improved. 
From. five to nine tons of green fodder per acre have been 
produced. 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. Quick to mature, adapted for late planting in 
Northern sections; vigorous grower and great yielder. 
Write for latest price. 
BLACK EYE. A prolific vine-growing variety of merit, seed 
often sold for table use. Write for price. 
WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growimg variety. 
A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its 
early maturity and habit of growth. Price fluctuates. 
Canada Field Peas 
Sown in open weather during December, January, February 
and March, 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 not 
equal to Cow Peas. A light seeding of oats, rye or barley will 
increase the yield and help to support the vines when the crop 
comes to maturity. Ready for cutting in May and June, cures 
easily and makes splendid hay. Write for: price. 
Soy or Soja Beans 
A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense 
Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being an 
Excellent Soil Improver. 
The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soi) 
enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the green and 
dry state. To plow under in the green state it is certainly 
one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. Subject to 
market fluctuations. 
Sand or Winter Vetch 
Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of al) 
Vetches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and is especially 
recommended for poor lands, where it thrives and_ improves 
the soil wonderfully, as it is very rich in nitrogen, 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 
nasturing. as well as a fertilizer. 60 pounds per acre. 
Per 100 Ibs., $20.00.
