DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 



Essex Rape is extremely valuable for 

 feeding, and is very fattening to both 

 sheep and svi^ine, 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 case 3 lbs. 

 to the acre will suffice. In a few weeks 

 from the time of sowing, 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 nomi- 

 nal cost. Per lb., 15 cts.; (by mail,

A PLANT OF CRIMSON CLOVER (Drawn from nature 



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 I 5 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 J^ 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.
