D^WARF ESSEX RAPE 



A foliage plant of highest value. For fall crop sow in July, 

 August and September. It is sown broadcast, 10 lbs. to the 

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

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

 cattle can be turned on it. Per lb., 35 cts., postpaid. Write

CRIMSON OR SCAREET CEOTER 



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 nt tlie 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. One 

 acre grown at the New Jersey Experimental Sts jn yielded, 

 May 31, 6997 pounds of organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 

 52 pounds of phosphoric acid and ISGJ pounds of potash. The 

 nitrogen alone was 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. Lb., 35 cts., 

 postpaid. Write for special circular and price of seed per bushel. 



TETCH 



Winter Vetches, or Tares ( Vicia Yillosa). 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, and maturing fully four weeks earlier 

 than Scarlet Clover, it can be harvested or plowed under and 

 the ground used for the usual spring crops. It is the best 

 green-manure crop that can be grown. Lb., 45 cts,, postpaid. 

 Bushel, 60 lbs. Write for Leaflet and price. 



AEEAEEA (Medicago Sadval 



It is an established fact that Alfalfa sown during August will 

 prove more satisfactory than when sown during the spring, espe- 

 cially if American-grown seed is sown. After once established 

 it will produce three to four heavy cuttings in a season, making 

 a total of from three to six tons of nutritious hay per acre. W^e 

 handle only high-grade American Grown Seed of Alfalfa, and 

 will be pleased to send sample and price on application. We 

 have published a Special Leaflet on Alfalfa, which tells how 

 and when to prepare the land, sow seed, cure and harvest the 

 crop. A copy mailed free on request.
