FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS 



cow PEAS 



The great soil enricher. Makes poor land rich and good land better. They 

 also make the best quality of Hay when cured. 



The sowing of COW FEAS is one of the cheapest as well as the best means 

 of improving the soil. They can be turned down for green manuring, or, if 

 allowed to ripen, cut and cure for hay; turn down roots, which will give as 

 good results as when whole plant is used. 



BIiACK — This is the standard variety, makes a fine growth, both of vine and 

 leaves, and a good yield of peas. 



■WHIPPOBWIIiIi — A favorite, early, upright-growing variety, more largely 

 used and sold than any other kind. 



NEW ERA — An early maturing variety which has proved very popular and 

 satisfactory. 



MIXED COW FEAS — ^Are fine for forage or improving the soil generally. 

 Sol(? at a lower price than the named varieties. 



SOjA BEANS 



Unsurpassed in nutritive value for feeding; also 

 makes a splendid soil improver. 

 3SA3IMOTH YEIiIiOW SOJA — The largest-growing and most popular of soja 

 beans for forage purposes. A little later in maturity than other kinds. 



WIIiSON BZiACK SOJA BEANS — One of the best, in our opinion, for the 

 Northern States, where a quick, early variety is desired. 



VIRGINIA BROWN SOJA BEANS — Coming into use very extensively; about 

 the same size as tlie Wilson.
