CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER 



Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular both for pasture 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 

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

 sown after the other crops are removed from the ground, such as wheat 

 (when clover has failed to catch), oats, millet, or on any vacant ground. 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 phosphoric acid, and 186^ 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 sample and price of seed. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 



Essex Rape is extremely valuable for feeding, and is very fattening to 

 both sheep and swine, and also assists in producing an abundant flow of milk 

 to milch cows. It can be used as a part of feed for animals that are being 

 fed for market, and is also valuable as a food for lambs at weaning time. It 

 can be sown for fall crop in July and August, and still later in the southern 

 States ; it is sown broadcast 6 lbs. to the acre but is better drilled, in which 

 cased 3 lbs. to the acre will suffice. In a few weeks from the time of sow- 

 ing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be turned on it ; all reports agree that they 

 gain weight faster on this than on any other fodder, and as it can be sown 

 after other crops are off, the gain in fodder is secured at a nominal cost. Per 

 lb., ID cts.; (by mail, 18 cts.) ; 10 lbs., 90 cts.; bushel of 50 lbs.. $3.25 ; 

 ICO lbs., $6.25.
