CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER 



Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular both for past- 

 ure and hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. It 

 can be seeded at any time from June to October at the rate of 

 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, and makes the earliest possible green 

 pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for feed- 

 ing as hay should be cut just before coming into full bloom. It 

 is a very rank grower, some stools containing as many as 120 

 to 140 blossoms from one seed. One acre grown at the New 

 Jersey Experimental Station yielded, May 31st, 6,997 pounds 

 of organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds of phos- 

 phoric acid, and l86j^ pounds of potash. The nitrogen alone 

 could not be bought for $30.00, and is fully equal to that found 

 in 20 tons of stable manure, and at such a small cost. It not 

 only builds up worn out soils, when turned under, but rich soils 

 are kept up to their fertility with less cost than by any other 

 means. Write for special circular and price of seed.

VETCH 

 Winter Vetches, or Tares ( Vicia Villosa). Also 

 called Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall 

 sowing with rye, which serves as a support. It is perfectly 

 hardy in all parts of the country, remaining green all winter and 

 maturing fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover ; it can, 

 therefore, be harvested or plowed under, and the ground used 

 for the usual spring crops. It is very nutritious, and all kinds 

 of stock eat it with relish. Sow from one-half to one bushel per 

 acre, together with one-half bushel of Rye. Price, per lb., 10 

 cts.; (by mail, 18 cts.); bus., 60 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., §9.00. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE (See cut) 



A forage plant of highest value. It can be sown in April for 

 an early crop, and for fall crop in July, August and September, 

 and still later further south ; it is sown broadcast 10 lbs. to the 

 acre, but is better drilled, in which case 5 lbs. to the acre will 

 suffice. In a few weeks from time of sowing, sheep, hogs or 

 cattle can be turned on it ; all reports agree that they gain weight 

 faster on this than any other fodder, as it can be sown after 

 other crops are off; the gain in fodder is secured at a nominal 

 cost. Stockmen, Dairymen and Farmers have proved its value.

 50 lbs., g4.oo ; 100 lbs., ^7.50.
