CKIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVEK. 



(TR1FOLIUM INCAKNATUM.) 

 The most valuable plant for restoring the fertility of worn-out soils. 



ALL lands from which crops have been harvested during the summer and fall should be sown with 

 Scarlet Clover for plowing under the following spring. Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover 

 is equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre, and even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, 

 the benefits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root formation will alone many times repay the cost 

 of seed and labor. 



It is the cheapest source of nitrogen, and has revolutionized the methods of farming in many States, 

 has restored to profitable cultivation thousands of acres of poor land, and should be extensively used 

 for sowing among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at time of last hoeing or after potatoes, melons, cucum- 

 bers, etc., have been harvested, or on grain stubble, and harrowed in. Its value as a winter soil mulch 

 and for green manuring for orchards cannot be overestimated, as it provides nitrogen in the best form 

 and quantity. 



If intended for feeding, it should always be cut while in the young stage, and never fed to stock after 



the crop has ceased flowering, as serious results are apt to follow the feeding of overripe Crimson Clover. 



In the latitude of New York, time for sowing may extend from July 15th to September 15th,' and 



further south up to October. The seed needs to be only lightly covered, and a good plan is to sow on 



fresh plowing and cover with a light harrow. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. 



Choice new crop seed of highest growing aualitv, thoroughly recleaned and free from weed seeds, 

 12c. lb., S6.00 bushel S9.00 per 100 lbs. 



CRIMSON 

 CLOVER. 



Sand or Winter Vetch. 



(Vicia Villosa.) 



The earliest crop for cutting and plowing 

 under in Spring, being nearly a month earlier 

 than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken 

 off the land in time for planting Spring crops. 



It is perfectly hardy throughout the United 

 States, remaining green all winter, and should 

 be sown during August and September, mixed 

 with Rye, which serves as a support for the 

 plants, or in spring with oats or Barley. 



It succeeds and produces good crops on 

 poor, sandy soils, though it is more vigorous 

 on good land, and grows to a height of 4 to 5 

 feet. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, 

 this is the forage plant to sow in the Northern 

 States, where Scarlet Clover winter-kills, 

 though it is equally valuable in the South. 

 Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the 

 United States should have a field of it. 



It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so 

 than Clover, is eaten with a relish, and may 

 be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. 



It will also prove valuable for a Hay Crop 

 in the South and dry Western regions, as it 

 may be sown in the fall. 



Sow one bushel per acre, with one-half 

 bushel of Rye or Wheat. 12c. lb.. So. 50 bushel 

 of 60 lbs., 100 lbs. S9.00. If by mail add 8c. 

 per lb. 



Dwarf Essex Kape. 



Valuable for Cattle, Sheep and Hogs. 



Under favorable conditions Rape is ready 

 for pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks 

 from time of sowing, and on an average one 

 acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six 

 weeks to two months. When on the Rape 

 they should at all times have access to salt, 

 but water is not necessary. In the Northern 

 States it should be sown from May to the end 

 of August for fall pasturing, but as it thrives 

 best in cool weather, it should not be sown • 

 in the Southern States until September or 

 October, for winter pasture. In the latitude 

 of New York, July or August is the best time 

 to sow. Its fattening properties are probably 

 twice as good as those of Clover, and for sheep 

 the feeding value of Rape excels all other 

 plants we know of. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broad- 

 cast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills. {See cut.) 

 10c. lb., S4.50 bushel of 50 lbs., 100 lbs. S8.50. 

 If by mail, add 8c. per lb.
