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, 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 very nutri- 

 tious, and all kinds of stock eat it with relish. Sow one 

 bushel per acre, together with one-half bushel of Rye or 

 Oats. Lb., 30 cts., postpaid. Bus., 60 lb>. Write for 

 Leaflet and price. 



CRIMSON or SCAREET CEO\ ER. 



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 in full bloom. 

 One acre grown at the New Jersey Experimental Station yielded. 

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

 52 pounds of phosphoric acid, and ISdi] 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. Lb., 30 cts., posipaid. Write for special 

 circular and price of seed per bushel. 



AEEAEEA (MedicagoSaliva). 



It is an established fact that Alfalfa sown during August will 

 ])rove more satisfactory than when sown during the spring. 

 After once established it will produce three to four heavy cut- 

 tings in a season, making a total of from three to six tons of 

 nutritious hay per acre. We handle only High-grade .\merican 

 Crown Seed of Alfalfa, and will be pleased to send sample and 

 |irice 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.
