The following varieties are extensively grown for feeding stock, 

 and are excellent food to increase the flow of milk. As they grow 

 much larger than the varieties cultivated for table use, they require 

 more room, and should be sown in drills about two feet apart. 

 The seeds should be dropped about two inches apart in the drills, 

 and, when strong enough, thinned out to twelve or fifteen inches in 

 the row. The long varieties are best suited to a deep soil, and the 

 globe sorts succeed better than the low sorts on sandy soil. 



Rich soil is essential to success, and, if provided, enormous quan- 

 tities per acre can be raised of these useful products. 



j83f s 'Six to eight pounds of seeds will sow one acre. 



/£g=" For quantities of five pounds and upwards, write for special 

 prices.
