COW PEAS 



FIELD PEAS 



Excellent for Hay or Forage 

 Invaluable as a Soil Builder 



CANADA WHITE 



For the Northern States there is no crop of greater value than Field Peas. 

 Whether for fodder, in mixture with Oats sown at the rate of 2 bushels of Peas 

 and 1 bushel of Oats per acre, or the Peas sown alone at the late of 3 bushels per 

 acre. For plowing under, there is no crop that we can so strongly recommend. 

 Peas have the power of extracting nitrogen from the air, the soil from which 

 a crop of Peas has been harvested is rich in nitrogen. There is no kind of live 

 stock on the farm to which Peas and Oats in mixture cannot be fed with positive 

 advantage. 



The Marrowfat and Canada Field Peas, especially the white variety, are 

 valuable for early spring sowing; being exceptionally hardy, the crop is not 

 easily injured by late frosts. Sown alone for fodder or in combination with 

 Oats for hay, or as a crop to plow under for green manure, they are unsurpassed. 



Peas can be followed by Millet or Crimson Clover. (See engraving.) 

 Prices of Field Peas for Fodder and Green-Manuring. Canada White. $1.50 per peck; $5.50 per bushel 



IMPROVE WORN-OUT SOILS AND 



ARE OF HIGH FEEDING VALUE 



Cow Peas are more tender than Canada or Field Peas and should not be sown until Corn-planting time. Cow 

 Peas, being of very rapid growth during the warm weather, can be sown as late as the middle of July with reasonable 

 assurance of a profitable crop, either for harvesting or plowing under. 



The early varieties are quite extensively and successfully grown for forage and soiling as far north as Massachusetts, 

 but so far north the crop may not ripen seeds. As a soil renovator and enricher Cow Peas are very valuable, as 

 they collect nitrogen from the air in large quantities and fix it in the soil, thus adding this expensive element of fertili- 

 zer to the land without cost, and leaving it richer and in better condition for the future crop. Cow Peas grow 

 on all soils from the stiffest clays to porous sands, barren uplands and alluvial bottoms. The feeding value is 

 high, whether as green forage, cured hay or silage, being especially rich in blood, bone and muscle forming material. 

 For green-manuring clay land, the crop should be turned under green. On sandy soil, already too light, the vines 

 should decay on the surface and then be turned under. Sow 2 bushels per acre. 



BLACK EYE COW PEAS. A popular and productive early sort. Very much in demand. 



Price, $6.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 10 bushels, $5.90 per bushel. 



NEW ERA COW PEAS. A new, extra-early variety, earlier than the Black Eye, maturing in about 60 days, 

 specially adapted for planting north. Price, $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 10 bushels, $4.90 per bushel. 



HENDERSON'S SEED POTATOES early varieties 



HENDERSON'S BOVEE POTATO. The popular extra-early. Delicious, appetizing new potatoes can be pro- 

 duced earlier with BOVEE than any other. It is not only early, but produces its crop in great abundance, and 

 yields a very large percentage of perfectly formed tubers. The cultivator can be used to better advantage on 

 a crop of Bovee than any other sort, owing to the short and compact growth of the vines, and its habit of setting 

 the entire crop close in the hill. Price, $1.60 per peck; $5.50 per bushel; $11.00 per sack. 



IRISH COBBLER POTATO. A fine, early variety, producing large handsome tubers, uniform in shape and size. 

 The flesh is white, and of excellent quality; the skin very light brown, with whitish netting. It is a heavy cropper. 



Price, $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel; $10.00 per sack. 



NORTHERN GROWN ESPECIALLY FOR SEEDING 



Prices of potatoes are subject to change without notice — {1 peck will plant about 125 

 hills; 10 to 12 bushels per acre, in drills 3 feet apart.) Purchaser pays freight or express 

 charges and assumes risk from freezing or healing. The sack is 165 lbs. net weight.

 almost round; flesh solid; cooks 

 dry and mealy. Price, $1.40 peck; 

 $5.00 per bushel; $10.00 per sack. 

 EARLY NORTHER. A splen- 

 did, extra early; earlier than Early 

 Rose, which it resembles, and 

 exceedingly prolific ; eyes few and 

 shallow; unexcelled cooking quali- 

 ties, dry and floury. 

 Price, $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel; $10.00 per sack. 

 SPAULDING ROSE NO. 4. Handsome red tuber, somewhat 

 flat, a little later than the regular Early Rose but usually a 

 better yielder. Fit to cook when large enough to dig. 

 Price, $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel; $10.00 per sack. 

 EARLY ROSE. The popular standard early; noted for easi- 

 ness, productiveness and fine quality. 



Price, $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel; $10.00 per sack. 



MAIN CROP VARIETIES 



SIR WALTER RALEIGH, HENDERSON'S. A grand, main 

 crop Potato; shape very uniform, large and oval; flesh fine-

 (See engraving.) 



Price, $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel, $10.00 per sack. 



UNCLE SAM POTATO. On a loam or sandy soil it is a 

 wonder in yield and quality. Its handsome appearance and 

 perfect form always ensure a fancy price on the market. 



Price, $1.60 per peck; $5.50 per bushel; $11.00 per sack. 



IMPROVED GREEN MOUNTAIN POTATO. A reliable 

 medium late Potato which is rapidly increasing in popularity —

 liable to scab or decay. 



Price, $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel; $10.00 per sack.
