BURT or 90-DAY. On account of its early maturity, it 

 escapes the dry, hot weather frequently experienced in 

 June, and because of this is one of the surest cropping va- 

 rieties for the South. Bus. SI. 35. 



FULGHUM. Practically two to three weeks earher than 

 other rust-proof Oats. It is absolutely beardless, drills 

 easily, and is a safe horse-feed. The best and most re- 

 markable of the southern Oat crops. One of the best spring 

 Oats known. Bus. $1.25; 5 to 10 bus. at $1.15 per bus.; 

 25 bus. or more, $1.10 per bushel. 



VIRGINIA GRAY WINTER or TURF. When sown before 

 the middle of March, far outyields ordinary spring Oats, 

 making heavier grain. Bus. $1.35. 



WHITE SPRING. Most generally sown throughout the 

 North and West, and also largely grown in this section, 

 although the newer varieties offered by us are decidedly 

 ;. referable, both in yield and reliability of cropping. Bus. $1. 



APPLER. Equally adapted for sowing both in spring and 

 fall, but in spring should be sown before the middle of 

 March. It is strong, quick-growing, with a bunchy head and 

 heavy grain. One of the most reliable rust-proof Oats for 

 the South. Bus. S1.25; 10 bus. or more at $1.15 per bus. 



MONTANA or SWEDISH, Originally imported from 

 Sweden. Very large, white, plump, and heavy grained, 

 yielding enormous crops. The coarse straw is noted for its 

 stiffness and power to withstand lodging. Bus. $1.25. 



Vetch 



HAIRY (Vicia villosa). When sown in August or September, 

 it covers the ground before frost and prevents leaching of 

 the soil during winter and spring. When sown in April or 

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

 excellent pasture during summer. Sow 30 to 40 pounds of 

 seed per acre alone; with rye or oats, 30 pounds to Jljbushel 

 per acre. Lb. 20 cts.; 10 lbs. at 18 cts. per lb.; 100 lbs. 

 S14. 



SPRING or TARES. Used for the same purpose as Hairy 

 Vetch, but must be planted in the spring where the winters 

 are severe, as it is not so hardy as Hairy Vetch. Monu- 

 mental Brand Seed, lb. 15 cts.; 10 lbs. at 12 cts. per lb.; 

 50 lbs. at 10 cts. per lb.; 100 lbs. at 8 cts. per lb. 



OREGON. Like Spring Vetch, but it can be planted in the 

 fall in all Southern States as well as in the spring. Monu- 

 mental Brand Seed, lb. 15 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.25; 50 lbs. $6.25; 

 100 lbs. $12. 



Rape 



DWARF ESSEX. Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle 

 within six weeks from sowing, and on an average, 1 acre 

 will support twelve to fifteen 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 pounds of seed per acre broadcast; 2 to 

 3 pounds per acre in drills. Lb. 15 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.10, 

 100 lbs. $8.50. 



Sorghum or Cane 



EARLY AMBER. Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious 

 forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will 

 yield two or three cuttings a year, stolling out thicker each 

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

 forage at the rate of 1 to l}/2 bushels per acre; sow at the 

 rate of 1 peck per acre in drills 3J^ to 4 feet apart. Lb. 

 10 cts.; bus. (50 lbs.) S2.60._ 



EARLY ORANGE. This variety is rapidly growing in favor. 

 Similar in growth to Early Amber, but it is claimed that it 

 produces a heavier crop. Please write for lowest prices. 

 Lb. 10 cts.; bus. (50 lbs.) $2.80. 



SUGAR DRIP. A new, distinct Sorghum. One of the best 

 varieties for making syrup. Grows 12 to 15 feet high. 

 Many growers think it makes the sweetest and finest 

 flavored of all Sorghum syrups. Seed is often sold at fancy 

 prices. Because of its especial sweetness, cattle are ex- 

 tremely fond of it. Lb. 20 cts.; bus. (50 lbs.) $4.50. 



Turnip 



LONG WHITE COWHORN. These can be fed to stock as 

 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 

 2 pounds of seed to the acre, broadcast. Oz. 10 cts.; }4\h. 

 20 cts.; lb. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. at 55 cts. per lb. 



Buckwheat 



JAPANESE. For a late summer crop. Buckwheat is very 

 desirable and profitable, especially in mountainous sections. 

 It is easily grown, makes splendid food for bees, and a large 

 yield of grain. As much as 40 bushels to the acre have been 

 harvested, making it very profitable. Sow 1 bushel per acre. 

 Pk. 65 cts.; bus. $2.50. Please write us for latest prices. 



Rye 



SPRING. Now largely sown in the Middle States in place of 

 oats, being a much more profitable crop because it produces 

 nearly 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 2 bushels to the acre should be sown. Bus. $2.50. 



ABRUZZI. Earlier than other Ryes. Stools heavier and 

 makes double the grain and forage. Sow September and 

 October, 1 bushel or more to the acre; for seed, sow No- 

 vember 15. Never winter-kills. Often grows 6 feet with 

 6-inch head. Makes about 20 bushels per acre. Suffers 

 little in spring droughts. Bus. $2.50. 



Barley 



BEARDLESS SPRING. A quick-growing crop of most excel- 

 lent and nutritious green feed and is growing in popularity. 

 It also makes a good grain crop. Sow IJ^ to 2 bushels per 

 acre. Bus. $2.10. Please write us for market prices. 



BEARDED SPRING. This variety is most generally used 

 as green food or hay crop, but where grown for the grain, 

 the beardless variety is mostly wanted. Bus. $2. 



Sunflower 



BOLGIANO'S GIANT. Sow from March to July, 5 to 10 

 pounds per acre. Plant with corn-drill, in rows 3 to 3}4 feet 

 apart, and thin to one plant every 18 to 22 inches. 5 lbs. 

 75 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.25; 100 lbs. $10.
