Buckbee's "Full of Life" WINTER RYE 



PERFECTLY HARDY :-: LUXURIANT CROPPER :-: EXCELLENT FODDER 



Sackbee's "Full of Life" Giant Winter Rye. This crop is used all over the country for Fail, Winter and Spring pastur- 

 atxc, early green food, and for groen niaiun ing, as well as for grain. It is very hardy and will grow on poorer land than any 

 other grain crops. It is a good Spring soiling crop giving the earliest bite of green stuff and makes a fair quality of hay if cut 

 in bloom or before it is fully headed out. Used for a grain crop its straw makes the best of bedding for cattle and horses and 

 if r;u-(>fnlly threshed sells at high prices for collar making and other manufacturing purposes. It is also an excellent green 

 manuring crop for turning under in the early Spring. It is very extensively grown and succeeds well throughout the South. 

 Rye can be very satisfactorily sown at the last working of corn, or it can be sown by itself from July to November. Sow at 

 the rate of V< bushels per acre.

Buckbee's "Fxill of Life" Winter Barley. This is a very desirable grain for growing in 

 the Sontt) where it is protitably raised for Fall, Winter and Spring grazing; or it may be cut 

 before it heads out as a hay crop. In many sections where it is difflcult to grow Timothy 

 and other regular Grasses for Hay the use of Grain crops such as Barley, Rye, Wheal and 

 Oacs is very desirable. They all make most nutritious feed and cure up in first class shape 

 to take the place of hay. As Barley stools well out it really makes better Fall, Winter and 

 Spring grazing than either Rj'e or Wheat. It is so easily grown and succeeds so well 

 throughout the South that it should be much more largely grown than at present. It can be 

 seeded down at the last working of Corn, and as it prevents the washing of soils by Winter 

 rains it is highly prized. Sow IJ^ to 2 bushels per acre. 

 Prices postpaid — per lb. 25c.

Soy Beans— Evans' Early Yellow. These sHould be raised on every farm either as a 

 gi-azing crop or a fodder crop to feed green. The grain is the RICHEST KNOWN VEG- 

 ETABLE SUBSTANCE. It produces crops of twenty to thirty bushels per acre and is as 

 easily gi'own as other Beans. The vines are busy and vigorous and entirely self-supporting. 

 For pasturing or feeding as green fodder it is very valuable and nearly equal to Clover for 

 fertilizing. Thousands are already growing Soy Beans, and in five years they will be as uni- 

 versally grown as Corn. They can be sown broad-cast or drilled at the rate of 1}{ bushels 

 per acre; bnt our experience has been that the most satisfactory results are obtained by 

 planting in rows.

Velvet Beans. Nature's Great Soil Restorer. The Velvet Bean is a green manuring and 

 foliage plant that is creating a great sensation in the Southern States where it is disputing 

 for favor with the Cow Peas. The vines grow to a length of from ten to thirty feet and 

 form a dense mass of nutritious fodder. The Florida Experimental Station reports 1.6,680 lbs. of green forage per acre and it is 

 said to cure in less time than the Cow Pea and to make an equally valuable hay. In two months the under leaves commence to 

 drop and by Fall the mulch is often six to eight inches deep, making it one of the greatest soil improvers known. Asfast as these 

 leaves full they are replaced by new growth, so close and dense as to thoroughly exclude any obnoxious weeds or grasses as well 

 as Johnson or Bermuda Grass. Plant at the rate of bushels to the acre in rows four to five feet apart, dropping two or three 

 Beans one foot apart in the row.

Speltz, or Emmer. The Valuable New Grain from Russia. Speltz has now 

 been grown in the United States in a large way for several years and each suc- 

 ceeding season not only emphasizes its value but sees its production increas. 

 ing to an enormous extent. The berrj' is of the color, texture and hardiness of 

 "No. 1 Hard"' Spring Wheat, but abotit twice as long ;ind with pointed ends- 

 Tliose who have not gro\vn Speltz should not let another season go by without 

 giving it an important place on the farm. The grain grows tall like Rye and 

 matures as early as Barley and each year when tested by the side of each it 

 has yielded twice as much per acre as Oats and three bu?ihels to one of Barley; 

 and it is much better feed for stock than either. It yields from forty to eighty 

 bushels to the acre and from four to six tons of straw hay. Speltz can be sown 

 in the Fall and stand the Winter better than Oats, and the Texas farmer writes 

 that he finished sowing Speltz in the middle of November and during the cold- 

 est spell last Winter, although it seemed to be a little damaged on the top it 

 come out all right again. Do not let it stand until it gets too ripe before cut- 

 ting as any grain that yields well shells easily. Stock of all kinds as well as 

 poultry eat it greadily and flourish on it. Plant about two bushels or 80 lbs. 

 I>er acre, and cultivate or plow the same as Oats or Wheat. There is no stand- 

 ard weight for Speltz; but the grain in the hull generally weighs about 40 lbs. 

 per bushel, and we sell it at that weight.
