THE GREAT SOIL ENRICHER. 



MAKES POOR LAND RICH, 

 MAKES GOOD LAND BETTER. 

 Prices on Application. 

 There is no surer or cheap- 

 er means of improving' poor 

 soil than by sowing Cow 

 Peas. Nitrogen or ammonia 

 in commercial fertilizers is 

 valued at fifteen cents per 

 pound. The Cow Pea, to a 

 greater extent than any other 

 leguminious crop, has the 

 power to extract this costly 

 nitrogen or ammonia from 

 the atmosphere. 



BLACK COW PEA. — This is 

 quicker to mature than the 

 Black Eye Pea, and is better 

 adapted for late planting or 

 for growing in districts fur- 

 ther north than Virginia. It 

 is a splendid land improver 

 and most valuable as a for- 

 age crop, making an enor- 

 mous yield of rich, nutritious 

 feed. Sow in May or June 

 at the rate of one and a half 

 bushels per acre. 



BLACK EYE COW PEA. 

 The Black Eye Peas are very 

 prolific and bring a good 

 price on our market. 



CANADA FIBI/D PEAS. 



These are a most popular and satisfactory forage 

 and hay crop. Sown in February, March or April, 

 with a small quantity of oats, they make a large 

 yield of forage, greatly relished by all kinds of 

 stock. Cures easily, making a splendid hay. 



Sow one to one and a half bushels per acre broad- 

 cast, with half a bushel of oats. Cut for hay be- 

 fore the Peas mature. Per peck, 40 cents; bushel, 

 about $1.25. Write for special prices if a quantity 

 is required. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE is considered indispens- 

 able by the sheep and cattle farmers of Great 

 Britain, and is fast coming into use in this country 

 on account of its rapid growth, being ready to feed 

 in ten weeks from sowing, and producing twenty- 

 five to thirty tons or green forage to the acre. It 

 grows to a height of three feet and covers the sur- 

 face so densely as to smother out all weeds and to 

 kill auack and other objectionable grasses. It can 

 be sown all through the season, being perfectly 

 hardy, withstands drought, and will produce a crop 

 in any soil by sowing broadcast at the rate of five 

 pounds to the acre, or in drills or rows two feet 

 apart at the rate of three pounds per acre. While 

 unequaled as a pasture for sheep, as a fattening 

 food for all kinds of live stock, it is without a rival 

 in point of cheapness or effectiveness.

 If wanted by mail, add 8c. per lb. for postage. 



KAFFIR CORN. 



(Bed or White.) 



One of the best things offered of late years for a 

 forage plant. The heads contain small white seeds 

 which make an excellent flour. They are greedily 

 eaten by horses and cattle, and make excellent 

 food for poultry, either fed in the grain or ground 

 and cooked. Use four to five pounds to acre. 

 L,b. 10c. 12 lbs. 75c. lOO lbs. $5.00.

 CLYDESDALE.- A very early and productive 

 variety of extraordinary weight.

WINTER OATS. 



These are quite distinct from Spring Oats, and 

 are now being quite largely grown in Southern 

 Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland 

 and Virginia. They are sown in the fall. 



At Market Prices. 



SEED BUCKWHEAT. 



JAPANESE.- The plants are large and vigorous, 

 maturing their seed early, and resisting drought 

 and blight remarkably well, while the grain is 

 much larger and at the same time has a thinner 

 hull than the common or the Silver Hull. Owing to 

 its branching character, only one-half the seed is 

 required per acre, while the straw is much stiffer 

 and starids up better. We recommend this espe- 

 cially for well-drained or sandy land, and the dry 

 climate of the Western plains. 



At Market Trices. 

 SILVERHULL.— This improved variety is much 

 better than the old sort. It is in bloom longer; ma- 

 tures sooner, and yields double the quantity per 

 acre. The husk is thinner, the corners less promi- 

 nent, and the grain of a beautiful light grey color. 



At Market Prices. 



FI/AX SEED.

 FLAX -SEED MEAL.— For horses and cattle. 

 10c. per lb. 6 lbs. 25c. In quantities at 

 market prices. 



EARI/Y AMBER SUGAR CANE. 



The saccharine matter of this early and pro- 

 ductive variety is of the first quality, and produces 

 a fine sugar or syrup. It grows ten or twelve feet 

 high, and yields large crops of fodder, which is 

 relished by all kinds of stock. It will produce two 

 cuttings during the summer. Culture same as 

 corn. Sow three or four quarts per acre. 

 Lb., by mail, 20c. Pk. $1.00. Bu. (56 lbs.) 

 $2.50. 



MANSHUKY SPRING BARI/EY. 



This is the most productive variety we know, 

 and having grown it ourselves, can recommend it. 

 By Express or Freight— Pk. SOc. Bu. $1.25. 



NEW BEARDLESS SPRING 

 BARI/EY. 



The earliest barley known; if sown about the 

 20th of March, will ripen about the 28th of June. 

 The straw is about the height of the common bar- 

 ley, but better, and will stand up on any land. Sow 

 as early as you can; frost does not hurt it. Being 

 beardless, it handles as easy as oats, and makes a 

 stronger feed. 



By Express or Freight— Pk. 40c. Bu. $1.25.

Your seeds give much better satisfaction than those 

 we buy here. I had the finest Cabbages I have e* 7 er seen 

 from your seed. HENRY CORBIN,
