Crimson or Scarlet Clover. ' dwarf essex rapf. 



mm 



( TRIFOLIUM INCARNA TVM. ) 



rhe most valuable plant for restoring the fertility of worn- 

 out soils. 



HLL lands from which crops have been harvested during the summer and f al 

 ahould be sown with Scarlet Clover for plowing under the 'oUowirg spring' 

 Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tens of 

 stable manure per acre. 



It is the cheapest source of nitrogen, and has revolutionised the methods of 

 arming in many States, ha-s restored tc profitable cultivation thousands of acres 

 )f poor land. Its value as a winter soil mulch and for gr'-en manuring; tor 

 )rcnards cannot be overestimated 



If intendfd for feeding, it should always be cut while in the young stage, and 

 lever fed to stocV ? ^ter the crop has ceased flowering, as serious results are apt to 

 oUow the feeding of overripe Crimson Clover 



In the latitude of New York, time for sowing may extend from Tuly 15th to 

 >eptember 15th, and further South up to O'-tober. The seed needs to be onlv 

 ightly covered , and a good plan is to sow on fresh plowing and cover with a Ugh 

 lanow. Snw 15 lbs. per acrt 



Choice new croo seed of highest growing quality, thoroughly recleaned 

 and free from weed seeds, 12c. lb., $6.90 bushel, SlO.UOper 100 lbs. 



Sand or Winter Vetch 



{VICIA VILLOSA.) 



"he earliest crop for cutting or plowing under in spring, being nearly a 

 month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the 

 land in time for planting spring crops. 



It is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green al 

 fititer, and should be sown during August and September, mixed with Rvc; 

 7hich serves as a support for the plants, or in spring with Oats or Barlev. 



It succeeds and produces good cpjps on poor, sandy soils, though it is mo-e 

 igorous on good land, and grows to a height of 4 to "i feet. Being much hardier 

 han Scarl=t Clover, this is the forage plant to sow in the Northern States, wh^;re 

 icarlet Clover winter-kills, though it is equally valuable in the South. 



It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than Clover, is eaten with a 

 elish and may be fed with safety to ill kinds of stock. 



Tt willalso prove valuable for a Hay crop in the South and dry Western 

 egions, as it may be sown in the fall. 



Sow one bushel per acre, with one half bushel of Rve or Wheat. 14c lb 

 7.50 bushel of 60 lbs., 100 lbs.. $11 50. If by itiail, add 8c. per lb. 



Valuab'e for Feeding and Fattening Cattle, Sheep 

 and Hogs. 



Rape is usually ready for pasturi.ng sheep or cattle 

 with.n six weeks from time of sowing, and on an av- 

 erage one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six 

 weeks to two months. In Northern States sow from 

 May to the end of August for fall pasturing, but as it 

 thr-ve? best in cool weather, it should not be sown 

 in the Southern States until September or October foi 

 winter pasture Sow 4 lbs per acre broadcast. 2 to 3 

 lbs. per acre in drills. 10c. lb. $3.25 bushel of 50 

 lbs., 100 lbs $6.00. If by mail, add 8e per lb.
