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 



crop, either for sowing alone, or for grazing during the fal 

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

 successfully sown both in the fall and spring. Early fal 

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

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

 can be sown broadcast, when from C to 8 pounds per acn 

 should be used. 



WEBER'S IMPROVED EVERGREEN 



The Best Broom Corn In Cultivation 

 MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 



TEOSINTE (Reana Luxurians) 



This gigantic Grammea will furnish a continuous daily sup. 

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

 cattle all through the Summer. It also makes splendid drj 

 fodder, yielding enormously, and being more nutritious anc 

 better relished by all stock than corn fodder. It stools oui. 

 enormously after being cut. 



Prices on application. 



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

 the value of the growing crops, that sensible planters realize 

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

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

 earned reputation by selling seed of doubtful character. 



To successfully grow ALFALFA, CLOVERS, COW PEAS, SOY BEANS and other legumes, to 

 increase your yield, and to improve your soil, use 



THE MULFORD NITRO-GERM 



Scientifically Prepared and Tested 



SMALL COST— LARGE RETURNS— EASY TO USE— NO LABOR EXPENSES 



THE MULFORD NITRO-GERM consists of pure, tested cultures of active, vig- 

 orous nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for inoculating seeds of legumes or soil. 



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

 over-cropped and worn-out fields. 



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

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

 prompt "catch" and increase the yield. 



THE MULFORD NITRO-GERM is prepared and tested by experts, in the biological 

 laboratories of H. K. Mulford Co., Phila-delphia, U. S. A., with the same degree of 

 care as Mulford Antitoxins, Serums, Vaccines, etc., which are standard all over the 

 World. 



Be sure to always specify the particular legume for which The Mulford Nitro-Germ 



is desired, otherwise we will not know how to fill your order.
