1205. White Blossom Sweet Clover or Bokhora. (Hulled.) Melilo- 
tus Alba. A strong growing perennial of value for green manuring, especially 
South; also largely grown for the excellent food it affords throughout its season 
for bees. Sweet Clover will provide more feed per acre than any other form 
of grass. One farmer declares that five acres of Sweet Clover carried more 
stock than forty acres of Timothy and Clover would. Sweet Clover stands 
drouth well and does not cause stock to bloat. ‘*Gold”’ Brand 30c Lb. Bu.

Buckwheat, Barley, Rye, Flax, Speltz, Sunflower, Cow-Horn Turnip 
Buckwheat 
Buckwheat. For a late Summer crop Buckwheat is very desirable 
‘and profitable, especially in mountainous sections. It is easily grown, makes 
splendid flower food for bees and of a large yield of grain, which can usually 
be sold for remunerative prices. As a smothering crop, where the land con- 
tains objectionable weeds, it is very desirable, and it puts the soil in admirable 
condition for crops to follow.

Barley 
1209. Beardless Spring Barley. This crop has been sown with satis- 
factory results for two or three seasons past in this section and further South. 
It makes a quick growing crop of most excellent and nutritious green feed and 
is growing in popularity wherever it is used, and will also make a good grain 
crop, although its principal value is as an early nutritious forage crep, either 
to feed green or cure as hay. Sow 114 to 2 bushels per acre. Price, Pk. 50c. 
$1.75 per bushel. Please write us for market prices. 
Speltz, or Emmer 
1210. Culture. Prepare your ground as you would for wheat or oats, 
sow at the rate of two bushels per acre. It is extremely hardy and can be 
sown earlier than Spring wheat or oats, as light frost does not affect it; it can 
be sown later, but early sowing is better. Pk. 50c. Bu. of 40 Ibs. $1.50.

Best Stand From Bolgiano’s Alfalfa in Whole Section 
_ On June 19, Dr. R. E. Fool, of 209 Seventh Ave., North Nashville, Tenn., 
uriles: ‘I want to place another order for some Gold Brand Alfalfa like you 
furnished me last year. This was the best Alfalfa Seed I have ever seen, and I 
probably have the best sland of Alfalfa in our whole section.” 
Pleased With Bolgiano’s Alfalfa in Ohio 
On July 8, Mr. P. D. Perry, of Ohio, writes as follows: ‘‘I received the 
“Gold” Alfalfa Clover Seed you shipped me, sowed it immediately and it is up 
fine. I have a nice stand.”

Rye 
1135. Spring Rye. Distinct from the Winter Rye, grain of finer 
quality and more productive; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is 
now being largely grown in the Middle States in place of oats, being a much 
more profitable crop on account of the production of nearly four times the 
straw, and also as a “‘catch”’ crop where Winter grain has failed. Produces

Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
1211. Sunflower has proved to be the best paying crop of anything that 
has been planted during the last two years. Sow in March to July, 5 to 19 
Ibs. per acre. Plant with Corn drills in rows 3 to 314 feet apart and thin to 1 
plant every 18 to 22 inches, cover very lightly, not over 2 to 2/4 inches, the less 
the better. 5 Lbs. 55c. 10 Lbs. $1.00. 100 Lbs. $8.00. 
Cow-Horn Turnip 
326. Long White Cow-Horn Turnip. It has been found by practical 
farmers that there is no better way for aerating and adding humus to the soil 
in the Winter time than by sowing Long White Cow-Horn Turnips. They can 
be fed to the stock as they are needed and the rest allowed to remain in the 
ground and rot, having a valuable fertilizing property. They grow nearly 
half out of the ground and are carrot-like in form. Sow two pounds of seed 
to the acre, broadcast. Oz. 10c. 14 Lb. 1l5c. Lb. 40c. 5 Lbs. at 35c. 10

Very Dry Season—Every Seed Came Up 
On July 20, 1915, Mr. D. S. Truitt, of Northumberland Co., Va. writes: 
“T used your ‘‘ Gold’”’ Brand Crimson Clover Seed last season and found them clean 
of Weed Seeds. I think that very nearly every seed came up, although we had avery 
dry season.”’ 
Praises For Bolgiano’s Seeds 
The W. J. Ruble Milling Co., of Fayette Co., Pa.. on March 11, wriles as 
follows: ‘‘ Your Clover and Timothy Seed which we received and have sold a good 
quantity is the leading subject with our farmers. They are praising il very highly.”’
