or feeding green. The vines are bushy and 
of vigorous, erect habit. Fed in the green 
state, they afford most nutritious forage. 
Sow broadeast at the rate of one-half 
bushel to the acre, or plant in drills 3% 
feet apart, and 1% feet between the plants, 
dropping three beans in a hill. One gallon 
will sow one acre, if drilled. Planted from 
March to August. Ih., 25¢., postpaid; 15 Ib., 
peck, $1.25; 60 lb. bu., $4.00, not prepaid. 
EXTRA EARLY SPECKLED VELVET. 
—Is very productive, making from one 
to two tons of beans in hull per acre. 
Land that will make 20 bushels of corn, 
will make one ton of beans in addition to 
the corn, doubling the feed value of every 
acre planted. It is a great fattener for all 
stock, and one of the greatest milk pro- 
ducers. As the hull is very thin, propor- 
tion of seed to hull is about double that of 
the thick hulled varieties. Does ‘not pop 
open and will remain good in field indefi- 
nitely if it is clear of the ground. One peck 
to the acre. Planted from March to August. 
lb., 25c., postpaid; 15 lb. peck, 90c.; 60 Ih. 
bu., $3.00, not prepaid. 
_ MUNG BEANS.—Introduced into Amer- 
ica about 1835. It is upright in growth, 
strong and vigorous, free from disease of 
any sort, makes excellent hay, retaining 
its leaves after being cut. The beans are 
good for table use, the flavor being like 
that of cowpeas. The beans mature in 
about 90 days. Plant the same time as 
cowpeas. A splendid soil builder. Five 
pounds of seeds will plant an acre with a 
drill in 3% foot rows. It does well when 
broadcasted also. I1hb., 50c.; 10 lbs., $4.00, 
postpaid.

GRASS SEEDS. 

= 
English Rye Grass. 
ENGLISH, OCR PERENNIAL RYE 
GRASS.—Is largely sown by our landscape 
gardeners for winter lawns on Bermuda 
‘sod. The Bermuda blades being easily af- 
fected by frost, become red and rusty look- 
ing, while English Rye, during Winter, 
presents a most beautiful appearance, be- 
ing of a vivid green, and as the Bermuda 
during April and May makes its appearance 
it overgrows the Hnglish Rye, causing the 
latter to decay and act as a fertilizer to 
the existing grass. It’s also valuable for 
permanent pasture as it makes a heavy 
growth. The Bermuda sod should be 
mowed as closely as possible, scarify the 
surface thoroughly, broadcast the Hnglish 

Rye on top, rake in and cover with a light 
soil. Similar to Italian Rye, but a little 
slower in offgrowth. It should be sown 
from September to March, at the rate of 
60 Ibs. per acre. 1 Ib., 40c., postpaid; 10 
lb., $3.50; 20 Ih. bu., $4.50; 100 lbs., $18.00, 
not prepaid. 
STECKLER’S SUNNY SOUTH LAWN 
GRASS.—For Winter lawns. Prepared in 
the South and prepared for the South by 
those who know the soil, climate and con- 
ditions under which it should be sown. 
Use this mixture and give proper attention 
to your lawn, watering when necessary and 
during dry spells frequently and you will 
have the finest and greenest lawn. Twenty 
pounds to the bushel; 3 bushels per acre. 
Planted September to April. Price, Ib., 
75c., postpaid; 10 ibs., $6.00, not prepaid. 
BERMUDA GRASS. — Almost everybody 
living in this section of the country knows 
this grass; it is planted as a lawn grass; 
and nothing will stand the sun better or 
will make prettier carpet, when kept short, 
than this grass. It is also very valuable 
as a pasture and hay grass. Six pounds 
will sow an acre. Should be planted from 
February to June. 1 Ihb.,, 80c.; 5 1bs., $3.75, 
postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.—tThis is the 
standard grass in America for pastures. 
Blue grass is the base of practically all 
grass seed mixtures. It is perhaps a little 
slower than some other grasses but when 
once established it is permanent. Sow 25 
to 30 pounds per acre. Sow in Spring and 
Fall. 19 lbs. per bu. 1 Ih., 80c., postpaid; 
10 lbs., $7.00, not prepaid.
