FODDER AND SOILING PLANTS— Continued 



SOJA OR JAPANESE SOY BEAN 



The demand for the Soja Beans has grown remarkably of 

 late years. Their great value is as a forage crop, for fertiliz- 

 ing the soil and for pasturing or feeding the green fodder 

 much in the same way as the cow pea. 



SAND OR WINTER VETCH 



For forage and fertilizing purposes; it succeeds and pro- 

 duces good crops on poor, sandy soils as well as on good 

 lands, growing to a height of 4 to 5 feet. It is perfectly 

 hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all 

 winter. 



EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE 



The high value of Northern grown sugar cane for fodder 

 and ensilage is becoming rapidly known. When fed down 

 young as a pasture it grows rapidly again. The seed and 

 fodder is valuable as food for horses and cattle. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE 



Makes Splendid Fall, Winter and Spring Pasturage — Fine 

 for Cattle, Sheep and Hogs. 



Rape for fall sowing should be put in in July, August or 

 September. Makes a large yielding, nutritious, succulent 

 green feed or pasturage all through the fall, winter and early 

 spring. The fattening properties of Rape are said to be very 

 much better than those of clover, and it makes a first-class 

 croD, either for sowing aione, or for grazing during the fall 

 and winter; can be sown with Crimson Clover. Rape can be 

 successfully sown both in the fall and spring. Early fall 



seeding, however, gives the best results. Rape is best 

 sown in drills at the rate of 3 to 5 pounds per acre; or it 

 can be sown broadcast, when from 6 to 8 pounds per acre 

 should be used. 



WEBER'S IMPROVED EVERGREEN 



The Best Broom Corn In Cultivation 

 MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 



HIGH-GRADE TOBACCO SEED 



ONE OUNCE WILL SOW 50 SQUARE YARDS 



CONNECTICUT SEED LEAF.— Our seed is Connecticut 

 grown; a stocky plant; leaves not very long, but of good 

 width; suitable for cigar fillers. Also Maryland grown seed. 



TEOSINTE (Reana Luxurians) 



This gigantic Grammea will furnish a continuous daily sup- 

 ply of most nutritious green food for horses and all kinds of 

 cattle all through the Summer. It also makes splendid dry 

 fodder, yielding enormously, and being more nutritious and 

 better relished by all stock than com fodder. It stools out 

 enormously after being cut. 



Prices on application. 



The cost of the very best seed is so small, compared with 

 the value of the growing crops, that sensible planters realize 

 that they cannot afford to risk seed of doubtful pedigree, and 

 we know just as well that we cannot afford to risk our hard- 

 earned reputation by selling seed of doubtful character. 



INOCULATE YOUR ALFALFA, CLOVERS. COW PEAS, SOY BEANS, VETCHES AND ALL OTHER LEGUME CROPS WITH 



MULFORD CULTURES contain pure, tested strains of active, vigorous nitrogen- 

 fixing bacteria for inoculating seeds of legumes or soil. 



MULFORD CULTURES are "different" and should not be confused with other brands. 



The color is different (they are dark, almost black, due to a special ingredient 

 added to increase the growth and activity of the bacteria). 



The count is different (bacterial counts show fully twice as many bacteria as in 

 the old-form cultures). 



The bottle is different (being sealed — an important feature which prevents all 

 possibility of contamination from the outside air). 



Legumes offer the best-known means of maintaining soil fertility and rejuvenating 

 over-cropped and worn-out fields. They add both humus and nitrogen to your soil 

 and thus increase your yield of wheat, cotton, corn and other non-legume crops. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture and many State Agricultural Experiment 

 Stations recommend inoculation of legumes with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to induce a 

 prompt "catch" and increase your yield.
