CRIMSON OR SCARLET 



(Trifoiium Zncarnarum) 



Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is 

 equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre and 

 even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, the bene- 

 fits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root for- 

 mation will alone many times repay the cost of seed 

 and labor. 



Crimson Clover cut when coming into bloom makes 

 hay richer in protein than Red Clover, and the yield 

 on average soils is two to three tons per acre. It is 

 especially adapted for green forage and silage and is 

 much relished by dairy stocks. Cut green before 

 flowers mature. 



Crimson Clover should not be fed after the flowers 

 mature for the hairs of the calyx are apt to form 

 "hair balls" in the stomachs of animals. 



Sow at the rate of 15 pounds of seed per acre, 

 either broadcast or drilled. 



Price, lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $9.00; 100 

 'bs., $32.50. 



KOREAN LESPEDEZA 



An annual leguminous plant considerably grown, 

 particularly in the South, as a summer pasture, green 

 forage and hay crop. Valuable as a soil enricher for 

 green manure. Sow 14 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.50; 25 lbs., $7.50; 100 

 lbs., $25.00. 



LADINO CLOVER 



This type of Clover is used in pasture mixtures 

 with success and is hardier than Alfalfa. Can be 

 used as a green feed for poultry. 



Sow 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., $3.50; 10 lbs., $32.50. 



WHITE DUTCH OR HONEYSUCKLE 



(Triioiium repens) 



White Clover is a valuable addition to mixtures for 

 permanent pastures, as it furnishes considerable 

 plant food to the other Grasses composing such mix- 

 tures. 



Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., $1.50; 10 lbs., $14.00. 



WILD WHITE CLOVER 



A distinct type, dwarf growing and is used ex- 

 tensively in English lawns with success, the blos- 

 soms are few and are not so prominent. The seed we 

 offer is Kent type, grown in New Zealand. The plant 

 is creeping in habit and thrives best during the sum- 

 mer drought months, should be kept under mower 

 during the season. 1 lb. will seed a large area and 

 should be mixed with lawn grass seed or dry sand to 

 get it evenly distributed. For pasture, helps the 

 grasses by adding nitrogen to the soil, thrives on all 

 soils and is relished by cattle. 



Price, lb., $2.75; 10 lbs., $25.00. 



TRUE DWARF ESSEX RAPE 



Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within 

 six weeks from time of sowing, and on an averge 

 one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks 

 to two months. When on the Rape they should at all 

 times have access to salt; but water is not necessary. 

 In northern States it should be sown from April to 

 end of August for fall pasturing, but as it thrives 

 best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the 

 Southern States until September or October for win- 

 ter pasture. In the latitude of New York it should 

 be sown in April, or in July or August. Its fatten- 

 ing properties are probably twice as good as those 

 of Clover, and for sheep the feeding value of Rape 

 excels all other plants we know of. To secure the 

 best results, the Rape should be sown in drills. Sow 

 4 lbs. per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in 

 drills. 



Price, lb., 45c; 10 lbs., $3.50; 25 lbs., $8.00; 100 lbs., 

 $30.00. 



VETCH, SAND OR WINTER 



( Vicia viiiosa ) 

 The Best Legume for Sandy Soils 



Although Sand Vetch succeeds on poor, sandy soils, 

 it is, naturally, more vigorous on better land. Under 

 such conditions the plant produces numerous branches 

 3 to 6 feet long. Sand Vetch is hardy all over the 

 United States, and in most places remains green all 

 winter. The crop may be seeded, either from the 

 middle of August to the middle of September. 



Sown in the fall it should be mixed with Mammoth 

 Red Clover or Rye to serve as a support for the vines, 

 thus keeping the forage off the ground. 



Fall sown crops furnish some forage before winter 

 comes, and as growth starts very early in the spring it 

 can be pastured, cut for hay, or turned under to renovate 

 the soil. 



The foremost orchardists highly recommend Sand 

 Vetch as a cover crop. Soluble plant food in porous soils 

 leaches away in considerable amounts during the late 

 fall and early spring, when the roots of trees are not 

 actively foraging for it 



Sow 50 lbs. per acre, with one-half bushel of Rye or 

 Wheat. 



Price, lb., 50e; 10 lbs., S4.50; 25 lbs., $10.00; 100 lbs., 

 S35.00. 



ROSEN RYE 



Rosen Rye has yielded up to 40 bushels to the acre. 

 The plant is extremely vigorous, producing a luxuriant 

 stiff straw from large stools. On account of its vigorous 

 stooling habit only one bushel will be required to sow 

 an acre. 



The grain is extremely attractive, plumb, and heavy. 



One of the principal merits of this valuable grain, is 

 that it thrives equally as well on light soils as it does on 

 heavy soils. 



Price, quart, 60c; Vi peck, 90c; peek, $1.50; bushel 

 of 56 lbs., $4.50. 



GIANT WINTER RYE 



A remarkably heavy cropping Rye, having in fair tests 

 out-yielded many other varieties both in straw and 

 grain. The straw is of uniform length, strong and of 

 extraordinary stiffness. Sow P/2 bushels per acre. 



Price, quart, 60c; V2 peck; 90c; peek, $1.50; bushel 

 of 56 lbs., S4.50. 



( pointer Seed ( vYkeat 



LEAP'S PROLIFIC (Beardless) 



It roots deeply and stools vigorously. It ripens early, 

 with grain and straw maturing at the same time. The 

 heads are beardless, glistening white in color, compactly 

 built, filled with heavy, plump, grains from base to tip, 

 v/ell enclosed, thereby protecting them from unfavorable 

 weather conditions and also preventing self-shelling 

 when cutting 



The grain is large, dark red of the Longberry type. 

 The straw is long, stiff and very uniform, yielding a 

 large tonnage to the acre. IV2 bushels are required to 

 sow an acre. (See engraving.) 



Price, quart, 55c; peck, $1.50; bushel of 60 lbs., $4.50. 



"PENN 44" (Bearded) 



It is a reliable yielder, year after year. In years when 

 all conditions are against successful crops, this variety 

 makes good average yields in spite of adverse conditions. 



This grain is of the finest quality, a genuine Longberry, 

 dark red and hard and even on poor soils the grain will 

 be of full size. There is no wheat grown that is better 

 liked by millers. 



Its extreme hardiness will carry it safely through 

 Severe winters and its vigorous constitution -withstands 

 attacks of insect pests and diseases. Sow 11/2 bushels 

 per acre. 



Price„quart, 55c; peck, $1.50; bushel of 60 lbs., $4.50. 



FORWARD (Beardless) 



It succeeds and produces heavy crops on poor, thin 

 land, and it also has extreme hardiness to recommend 

 it. The gold-colored straw is very thick and strong, 

 easily supporting the heavy grain without breaking. The 

 large amber kernels are placed four to a breast, eight 

 breasts to a side, with long symmetrical heads having 

 a brown chaff. Sow IV2 bushels per acre. 



Price, quart, 55c; peck, $1.50; bushel of 60 lbs., $4.50.
