Itathypas Sylvestris op flat Pea* 



This species of Vetch we believe to be one of the most 

 valuable additions to the fodder plants introduced in 

 recent years, which will grow and thrive in poor sandy 

 soils and drought-stricken districts which but a few 

 years ago were considered barren wastes. Analyses, of 

 which a number have been made, show the hay to be 

 exceedingly nutritious, containing nearly double the 

 flesh-forming ingredients in clover hay, richer than the 

 balanced rations generally used for fattening cattle, and 

 rich enough to fatten either hogs or sheep without the 

 addition of grain. Being thoroughly permanent, when- 

 once established it will last indefinitely and yield 

 enormous crops of hay annually. 



40c. oz., $1.25 }{ lb., $4.00 lb. 



SACALilJSlE. 



(Polygonum Sachalinense.) 



Long known as an ornamental plant for lawns, etc., 

 and now introduced as a fodder plant by some seeds- 

 men with extravagant claims which we are not prepared 

 to endorse. To those of our customers who desire to 

 try it we will present a packet of the seed free of charge, 

 if requested at the time of ordering other goods. 



Tf4E H^I^^ VETCJ4- {Vicia Villosa— " Sandwickm.") 



First introduced in the United States by Peter Henderson & Co. This has proved to be the most valuable of all the Vetches. It succeeds on all soils, and 

 does not suffer from extremes of drought, heat or cold. Sown in August or September at the rate of 40 to 50 lbs. per acre, it will cover the ground with a dense mat of 

 forage which, in the Southern States, will afford abundant pasture throughout the entire winter. In the Northern States it remains green all winter under the snow, and 

 is invaluable for early pasturing or soiling. In the latitude of Delaware, Maryland and Southern Jersey, where the Crimson Clover flourishes, this Vetch will not be so 

 greatly esteemed, but in the Southern States, where the Crimson Clover does not thrive, and in the Northern States, where the Clover is winter-killed, the value of the 

 Hairy Vetch is inestimable. Sown in spring, it quickly produces a most luxuriant crop. Sow 40 to 50 lbs. per acre. (See cut.) 15c lb., $7.50 bush, of 60 lbs., 100 lbs. $12.00. 



S we issue a very full and Complete Catalogue of Farm Seeds, we only give here a simple list and prices of the more important articles in this 

 department. For full description of varieties, etc., see HENDERSON'S AHER1CAN FARnERS' MANUAL, which will be sent free on application.
