 The green pods are splendid as snap beans, delicious 

 hulled and used while green as lima beans, and excel- 

 lent in the dried state, boiled or baked as navy beans, 

 or used in soups. Makes a large growth of vines, S to 

 l.T feet long, and covers the entire ground to a depth 

 of 2 or .8 feet with a dense growth of vines. It outyields

New Era 



An early maturing variety of quick, upright growth. 

 The vines make a splendid dry forage, cure easily, and 

 produce a heavy yield of peas. Maturing in about 60 

 days, this variety is specially valuable to Northern 

 growers in sections where the "season is short.

The Clay 



This is so called from the color of the seed. The plant 

 is of the same season and habit of growth as the Black, 

 and like the Black has ripened at Ithaca, New York. 

 Many 'growers in the .'South prefer It to the large Blaclv 

 because of the lineness of the growth, which makes It 

 easier to cure. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 2.5 cts.; quart, 

 4:0 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre-

Extra Early Black Eye 



This pea is one of the earliest. It is a strong grower 

 and moderate trailer. It will mature seed in about tJO 

 days. A valuable hay crop. In the South It is grown 

 mainly for table use. As a soup pea It is very popu- 

 lar. Packet, 10 cts.; pint., 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 25 cents; peck, gll.2.5; busitel. §4.00. 



Whip-poor-will 



It Is an early variety, and matures in about 70 days. 

 It is not a heavy forage maker, btit a very productive 

 variety and largely grown as a soil improver and for 

 pasturage. Trails very little and usually in bush form 

 only. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quao-t, 25 cents; peck, 8.5 cents; bushel, $3.00.

 Sliddle .States. Ripeus as far'north as Ithaca, N. Y. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 23 cents; quart, 40 cents, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 23 cts.; peck, 85 cts.; bushel, $3.00. 



The Wonderful 



With profusion of growth and foliage. First growth 

 is erect, but later in the season It runs rampantly, 

 making vines fully 1-5 feet long. As a soil Improver 

 no plant will equal It. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 23 cts.; 

 quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or fi-eight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 25 cts.; pk.. 85 ets.; bu., $3.00. 



The usuelI quantity of any of the above cove peas sown per acre, is one bushel, but on strong soil will 

 result in a stout growth of stem; to produce a finer growth for hay, 132 bushels should be sown. 



Hollybrook Early Soja or Soy Bean 



Makes a quicker growth and matures its crop two to three 

 weeks earlier than Mammoth Yellow .Soja. An erect growing 

 plant and is far more easy to harvest and cure than Cow Peas. 

 Hollybrook Early Soja is the earliest variety and succeeds In all 

 sections of the Noi'th, while the Mammoth Yellow is of great 

 value in the South. It is admirably adapted for growing in 

 mountainous places, and throughout the North and West where 

 the seasons are shorter. It is a sure cropper, vigorous and quick 

 growing. The crop can be harvested with the corn binder, and 

 set in shocks for cru'ing; but to make a finer hay sow broadcast, 

 mow with hay mower, and cure in cocks. For this purpose sow 

 13 2 bushels per acre. They may also be sowed with cow peas, with 

 great success, using a half bushel of each per acre, well mixed. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. 

 By express or fz-elght. not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; peck, 

 $1.00; bushel, $3.50; 2 bushels, $6.75. 



Mammoth Yellow Soja or Soy Bean 



Soja Beans do equally well on both light and heavy soils, and 

 make a most desirable land Improver. The use of this crop is 

 increasing very rapidly in all sections, and Is proving to be one 

 of the most valuable and important forage and feed crops for 

 the farmer. It is almost impossible for weeds to grow or thrive 

 where a crop of Soja Beans is grown. Another valuable point is 

 they resist drought and hot weather to a remarkable extent. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; peck, 

 7.5 cents: bushel, $2.30; 2 bushels, $4.75. 



Canada Field Pea 



Is one of the very best soiling crops at the North. It is some- 

 times grown alone, but the most satisfactory dairy results come 

 from sowing it with oats, rye or barley, it makes good ensilage, 

 and is an admirable food either green or dry for cattle, being 

 highly nutritious and rich in milk-producing elements. It is 

 quite hardy and may be sown early In the spring, and will be 

 ready to cut in Jlay or June. The seed should be sown at the rate 

 of 1 to P., bushels per acre. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents: 

 quart, 35 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, quart, 20 cts.; peck, 85 cts. bu., $3.00; 2 bus., $5.75. 



Dwarf Essex Rape 



This is the best autumn sheep forage known, and is also used 

 for pigs and dairy cows with success and profit. Under favorable 

 circumstances it is ready for pasturage In six weeks from the 

 time of sowing. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. The seed 

 should be sown In May, for midsummer pasturage; or any time 

 before the end of August (at the North) for autumn pasturage. 

 In the .Southern States the best sowing time is September or 

 October. Rape is a plant which loves cool weather, and thrives 

 best In autumn. The seed should be used at the rate of 3 pounds 

 per acre in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broadcast. Rape is an 

 excellent green manure for plowing down. Packet, 10 cents; 

 pound, 25 cents; 5 pounds, $1.00, postpaid. By express or 

 freiglit, not prepaid, 23 pounds, $2.25: 100 pound, $8.00.

 Bigger Crops 



Farmogerm 



To Enrich the Land and Keep it Rich Without the 

 Continuous Expense of High Priced Fertilizers 



Commercial fertilizers are to be recommended for certain condi- 

 tions, but for general soil improvement they are too expensive. The 

 growing of inoculated legumes for both hay and green manure will 

 bring back your worn out soil to a fertile and permanently produc- 

 tive condition. They will add nitrogen to the soil by means of the 

 nitrogen sacks or nodules produced upon their roots by the nitrogen 

 fixing bacteria. Fertilizer value equivalent to inoo lbs. of nitrate of 

 soda per acre may be deposited by the legumes during their growth. 



In addition to this the yield and quality of the legume is increased. 

 We recommend it to all" our customers as being absolutely reliable. 



Farmogerm used on all seed of legumes means an earlier and bigger 

 crop. Farmogerm is prepared for all Clovers, Alfalfa, Garden Peas, 

 Garden Beans, Sweet Peas, Soy Beans, Cow Peas and Winter Vetch. 

 In ordering state crop wanted for. Garden size, 50 cents, postpaid; 

 acre size, $2.00, postpaid; by express, not prepaid. 5-acre size, $9.00.
