JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. 



" I had a small quantity of Japanese Buckwheat from you last year, which I 

 planted on the 5th day of July, and from this I cut, and had in good, clean Buckwheat 

 1,392 pounds, which ripened earlier and has produced more than three times the 

 yield of the Silver Hull with the same culture." DAVID BEAM, Midvale, N. J. 



" The Japanese Buckwheat ripened about one week sooner than the old-fashioned 

 kind, and produced more than as much again to the same amount of sowing the 

 past season." LEMUEL VAN NESS, Pomplon, N. J. 



" Truly, the Japanese Buckwheat is one of the greatest improvements, in a single 

 line of grain, of the present age. All other kinds of buckwheat can be well thrown 

 aside; and not only the bee-keepers of our land, but farmers in general, can unite 

 in tendering a vote of thanks to our enterprising seedsmen, Peter Henderson." 



GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



" The Japanese Buckwheat I got from you beats any I ever saw." 



C. A. DEAN, Meskoppen, Pa. 



" The Japanese Buckwheat I purchased from you is distinct, and stands the sun 

 better than any other sort." 



JOHN WILSON, Sandwich West, Essex Co., Ontario, Can. 



GROWN FROM IMPORTED SEED. 



Since we introduced the Japanese Buckwheat about twenty years 



ago, the tendency, on account of the hot, dry summers in the United 



States, has been for the grain to gradually grow smaller. The seed 



we offer is giown from the largest type imported from Japan and is 



much larger in grain than that usually offered, and it will pay all 



growers to renew their seed. The seed we offer is only one year 



removed from imported Japanese seed. This variety is now more 



generally grown than any other, but to those to whom it may still 



be unknown we would say that the kernels are at least twice the size 



of any other variety and of a shape peculiar and distinct from all 



others. The color of the kernels is also most distinct, being of a rich 



dark shade of brown. It ripens fully a week earlier than the Silver 



Hull, the straw is heavier, and it branches more and does not need to be sown 



so thickly as the other kinds. For bees it is of the greatest value and for this 



purpose has displaced all other varieties. 



ALWAYS SOW WITH CRIMSON CLOVER 



An excellent plan is to sow Crimson Clover along with buckwheat, especially 

 when put in late from middle of July to first cf August. They come up together 

 but the buckwheat is the stronger grower and the Crimson Clover makes but 

 little showing until the buckwheat is removed. If frost should kill the buck- 

 wheat before ripe, it may be left as a protection, the dead buckwheat being just 

 the sort of mulching and protection needed by the clover. The crimson Clover 

 and mulching of buckwheat can be plowed under in May and for potatoes or 

 corn there is no better preparation. Japanese Buckwheat is one of the most 

 satisfactory crops to sow on new or rough land, but buckwheat should invariably 

 be sown as a second or catch crop, and we would advise all growers to sow Crim- 

 son Clover along with it as recommended above for, even though the buck- 

 wheat be killed by an early frost, the value of its own humus is worth more than 

 the cost of the seed in addition to its value as a winter protection to the clover. 

 Price, $1.80 bushel of 48 lbs., 10-bushel lots, S1.70 bushel. 



The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that it has grown Hender- 

 son's New Japanese Buckwheat for two years and has found it superior to the 

 old varieties in several important respects. It is larger and stronger, and stands 

 up better during storms, and its seeds are larger: but what places it far ahead of 

 other varities is that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry hot weather. It can 

 also be sown much earlier than other varieties, thus avoiding loss by early frost.
