PHOTOGRAPH OF A FIELD OF DWARF ESSEX RAPE, GROWING FOR SHEEP FEED. 



Dwarf Essex Rape 



This valuable biennial forage plant is considered indispensable 

 by the sheep farmers of Great Britain, and is fast coming into use 

 in this country on account of its rapid growth, being ready to feed 

 in ten weeks from sowing. It can be sown all through the season, 

 being perfectly hardy, withstands drought, and will produce a crop 

 in any soil by sowing broadcast or in drills; while unequalled as a 

 pasture for sheep, as a fattening food for all kinds of live stock it is 

 without a rival in point of cheapness or effectiveness. Pkt., loc. ; 

 lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., |;i.oo, postpaid. L,b., 25c.; 10 lbs., $2.00; 25 lbs. 

 and over, 15c. per lb., by express or freight. 



New Field Corn— Delaware Dent. 



For some years Delaware and Chester, adjoining counties in 

 Pennsylvania, have given the largest yields of corn per acre of any 

 district in the United States. This variety, although quite new, is 

 already very popular there and is regarded as the most productive 

 of any corn grown in these counties; ears large, grain bright yellow 

 and of great depth, as shown in photograph herewith, maturing in 

 no to 120 days from planting. It is one of the best. Pkt., 15c.; 

 lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., fi.oo, postpaid. Peck, 75c.; bush., I2.25 ; sack of 

 2 bush., I4.00.
