1156. Burt or 90-Day Oats. On account of its earliness to mature, 

 it escapes the dry hot weather we frequently experience in June, and is on 

 this account one of the surest cropping varieties of the South. Color and 

 appearance of grain somewhat resemble the Rust-Proof Oat. Bu. $1.35. 



Fulghum Oats. Practically two to three weeks earlier than all of our 

 rust-proof oats. It is absolutely beardless; drills easily and is a safe horse 

 feed. The best and most remarkable of the Southern oat crops. One of the 

 best spring oats known today. Price, bus. $1.60; 5 to 10 bus. $1.45; 25 

 bus. or more, $1.35 per bushel. 



1161. Virginia Gray Winter or Turf Oats. When sown early, before 

 the middle of March, these oats will far outyield the ordinary Spring Oats, 

 making a larger crop and heavier grain. Bu. $1.50. 



1157. White Spring Oats. This is the variety most generally sown 

 throughout the North and West, and is also so largely grown in this section, 

 although the newest varieties offered by us are decidedly preferable, both 

 as to yield and reliability of cropping. Bu. $1.00. 



1272. Appier Oats. The Appier Oat is equally adapted for sowing 

 both in the Spring and in the Fall, but when sown in the Spring should be 

 sown before the middle of March. It is a strong, quick-growing oat, bunchy 

 head and heavy grain. One of the best and most reliable Rust-Proof Oats 

 for the South. Bu. $1.50. 



1274. Montana or Swedish Oat. These oats originally imported from 

 Sweden are very large, white, plump and heavy grained and yield enormous 

 crops. The straw is coarse and is noted for its stiffness and power to 

 withstand lodging and is a great drought resister. Bu. $1.40. 



1149 Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa) 



When sown in August or September it covers the ground before frost 

 and prevents leaching of the soil during the Winter and Spring. When sown 

 in April or May it can be cut in July, the second growth affording excellent 

 pasture during the Summer. Seed 30 to 40 lbs. per acre alone, with Rye or 

 oats 30 lbs. to ^ bu. per acre. Price Lb. 20c. 10 Lbs. 18c.

n27. Dwarf Essex Rape. It is a pasture plant pre- 

 eminently fitted to furnish pasture for sheep, cattle and swine. 

 Under favorable conditions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep 

 or cattle within 6 weeks from the time of sowing, and on an 

 average one acre will carry from 12 to 15 sheep six weeks to two 

 months. As it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be 

 sown in the Southern States until September or October for 

 Winter pasture. Sow 5 lbs. per acre broadcast. 2 to 3 lbs. per 

 acre in drills. 15c. Lb. 10 Lbs. $1.25. 100 Lbs. $9.00. 



Sorghum or Cane 



1146. Early Amber Sorghum. Furnishes a large yield of 

 most nutritious forage, which can be fed either green or cured, 

 and will yield 2 or 3 cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each 

 time it is cut. It grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow broadcast for 

 forage at the rate of 1 to 1% bushels per acre. When sown 

 in drills, sow at the rate of 1 peck per acre in drills SV2 to 4 

 feet apart. Lb. $.10. Bu. of 50 Lbs. $3.00. 



1158. Early Orange Sorghum. This variety is rapidly 

 growing in favor wherever it is grown. Similar in growth to 

 Early Amber, but it is claimed that it produces a heavier crop. 

 Please write for lowest prices. Lb. $.15. Bu. of 50 Lbs. $3.50. 



Sugar Drip. A new, separate and distinct Sorghum. One 

 of the best varieties for majcing syrup. Grows 12 to 15 feet high.

 of all Sorghum syrups. Seed often sold at fancy prices. On 

 account of its especial sweetness, cattle are extremely fond of it. 

 Lb. $.20. Bu. of 50 Lbs. $4.50. 



326. Long White Cow-Horn Turnips. They can be fed 

 to the stock as they are needed and the rest allowed to remain 

 in the ground and rot, having a valuable fertilizing property.' 

 They grow nearly half out of the ground and are carrot-like in 

 form. Sow two pounds of seed to the acre, broadcast. Oz. 10c. 

 % Lb. 20c. Lb. 60c. 5 Lbs. at 55c. 



1160. Japanese Buckwheat. For a late Summer crop 

 Buckwheat is very desirable and profitable, especially in moun- 

 tainous sections. It is easily grown, makes splendid flower food 



Burt or 90-Day Oats 



for bees and of a large yield of grain. As much as 40 bushels to 

 the acre have been harvested, making it very profitable to 

 raise. Sow 1 bushel per acre. Pk. 65c. Bu. $2.50. Please write 

 us for latest prices. 



1135. Spring Rye. Distinct from the Winter Rye, grain 

 of finer quality and more productive; can be successfully 

 grown in any latitude, and is now being largely grown in the 

 Middle States in place of oats, being a much more profitable 

 crop on account of the production of neai'ly four times the 

 straw, and also as a " catch " crop where Winter grain has failed. 

 Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool 

 like Winter Rye, not less than two bushels to the acre should 

 be sown. Bu. $3.25. 



Abruzzi Rye. Earlier than other ryes. Stools heavier, 

 makes double the seeed and forage as made by other ryes. 

 U. S. Agr. Dept. Bui. 336 says quality grain better and tallest 

 rye yet tested. In big demand for grazing and for Fall and 

 Winter cover crop in cotton middles. Sow September and Octo- 

 ber one bushel or more; for seed sow November 15th. Never 

 Winter-killed. Often grows 6 feet with 6-inch head. Makes 

 about 20 bushels per acre. Suffers less in Spring droughts. Bu. 

 $3.25. 



1209. Beardless Spring Barley. This crop has been 

 sown with satisfactory results for two or three seasons past in 

 this section and further South. It makes a quick growing crop 

 of most excellent and nutritious green feed and is growing in 

 popularity wherever it is used, and will also make a good grain 

 crop, although its principal value is as an early nutritious 

 forage crop, either to feed green or cure as hay. Sow iVz to 2 

 bushels per acre. Please write us for market prices. 



Bearded Spring Barley. This variety is most generally 

 used, and especially as green food or hay crop, but where this 

 crop is grown for the grain the beardless variety is mostly 

 wanted. Price, Bu. $2.40. 



Mammoth Russian Sunflower 



Sow in March to July, 5 to 10 lbs. per acre. Plant with 

 Corn drills in rows 3 to SVz feet apart and thin to 1 plant 

 every 18 to 22 inches, cover very lightly, not over 2 inches.
