 comes into full bloom, as otherwise it may cause hair-balls to

successfully in Del- 

 aware. Maryland 

 and Virginia. The 

 yield of fodder is 

 great. Its growth 

 is very rapid and

 therefore, it is 

 valuable as a 

 fertilizer to 

 turn under. It 

 is fast becom-

VELVET BEANS. 



WE strongly recommend our customers to sow this Bean as a 

 soil-improving crop. It costs much less per acre to seed 

 than most any other forage or soil-improving crop grown, 

 and it makes a larger growth and yield of forage than any other 

 yield of its kind. The possibilities of this Bean as a land-im- 

 prover, and for producing an enormous yield of forage seem 

 almost unlimited. It has now been thoroughly tested in all of 

 the Southern States. The Beans should be planted in May or 

 June. They are usually planted at the rate of one and a-half 

 pecks to the acre, in drills five feet apart. They soon make a 

 rapid growth, covering the ground with a thick mass of incs.

> TEOSINTE. 



A most valuable and enormous yielding, continuous cutting 

 forage crop. Good to use as green food, and also makes an excel-

 Plant in May or June In rows 3 feet apart by 15 inches; 2 ounces 

 per acre. Oz., 15e. 1/4 Lb., 35c. Lb., 91.OO. 



FOR YEARS we have taken special care in the selection of the 

 various sorts of Grass and Clover Seeds for field culture, and 

 in consequence our trade in this line has rapidly increased. 

 Purity of stock and high germinating quality we consider 

 essential. 



As we handle very large quantities of these seeds, we are ena- 

 bled to supply the best quality at lowest prices.
