FIELD SEEDS 31 



New Era Cowpeas 



COWPEAS 



MIXED. We strongly recommend sowing Mixed Cowpeas 

 for improving the soil. The upright kinds support the 

 vining varieties, so that they make much better growth and 

 give more satisfactory results. 



NEW ERA. This new extra-early Cowpea is unquestionably 

 one of the most valuable in cultivation. It makes quicker 

 growth than any other and is very prolific. 



BLACK. Seed medium-sized, black, matures early. Vines 

 trailing. 



GRAY CROWDERS (Shimney). Vine trailing. Seed large, 

 mottled gray and blue, matures medium late. 



BRABHAM. A cross between the Whip-poor-Will and Iron 

 and especially valuable because it combines good char- 

 acteristics of both. 



BLACK-EYE. Vines erect. Seed medium-sized, white, 

 matures medium late. 



WHIP-P9OR-WILL. Vines erect. Seed large, mottled red 

 and white, matures early. Good to grow between corn. 



CLAY. Seed medium-sized, cream-colored, matures medium 

 late. Vines tall and erect. 



Canada Field Peas 



The vines make rich, nutritious hay, and if fed to milch 

 cows when green — pods, vines, and all — the flow of milk will be 

 almost doubled. Sow in January, February, or early March. 

 Pk. $1.25; bus. $4.50. Write for latest prices. 



SOJA BEANS 



MAMMOTH _ YELLOW. The largest growing and most 

 popular variety for forage purposes, although a little later 

 in maturing. 



WILSON BLACK. Very small seed. Matures in about 

 90 days. It can be grown in the Northern States where an 

 early variety is desired. 



O-TOO-TAN. Entirely different from other Soy Beans. 

 The main stem is erect, 3 to 4 feet high, and from it running 

 branches extend 7 to 8 feet. It is not a climber. 



VIRGINIA. About 20 days earlier than Mammoth Yellow. 

 The vines make a fine growth standing about 3 feet high, 

 are easy to cut and cure, and are filled with pods. 



BILOXI. This is two or three weeks later than Mammoth 

 Yellow and requires a longer growing season. In Tennessee 

 it grows 5 feet 7 inches without support and makes three 

 tons of hay per acre. 



LAREDO. This differs from any other variety in habit. When 

 the plants are a few inches high they stool like oats, and 

 each plant sends up six to fifteen very fine branches, making 

 it one of the very best Beans for hay. 



MILLETS 



A SPLENDID QUICK-GROWING SUMMER HAY CROP 



GERMAN (Golden) Southern Grown. Plant from middle 

 of May until the end of June at the rate of 1 bushel per 

 acre. Cowpeas sown with German Millet make fine hay, 

 and should be sown at the rate of 3 pecks of Millet and 

 1 bushel of cowpeas to the acre. Monumental Brand 

 Fancy Southern Millet, pk. 75 cts.; bus. (50 lbs.) $2.50. 



JAPANESE (Billion-DoUar Grass). Grows 6 to 9 feet high 

 and yields enormous crops. It is relished by all kinds of 

 stock. Sow 15 pounds to the acre broadcast; 10 to 12 pounds 

 in drills 1 foot apart. It does best on low, moist ground. 

 Lb. 15 cts.; 100 lbs. at 12 cts. per lb. 



HUNGARIAN. Hay is quite leafy, and of very fine quality. 

 Should be sown at any time from the middle of May until 

 the end of June at the rate of 1 bushel per acre. Lb. 10 cts.; 

 100 lbs. $7.50. 



PEARL (Cattail). Largely used by dairymen. It furnishes 

 green food throughout the summer as three or four cuttings 

 a season can be obtained. It can be fed either green or 

 cured as dried forage, making a most nutritious feed 

 relished by all kinds of stock. Sow 5 pounds per acre in 

 drills 3 feet apart; broadcast at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds 

 per acre. Lb. 15 cts.; 100 lbs. at 12 cts. per lb.

I The Best Inoculation 

 for All Legume Seeds 



We believe in inoculation, we favor the pure jelly 

 medium, and we believe in Stimugerm. We recom- 

 mend that all legume seeds purchased from us be 

 inoculated before planting. 



A different culture is required for each legume 

 group, so, when ordering, be sure to state what |f 

 crops you wish to inoculate.

Increase Your Crops Improve Your Soil 



Legume crops, properly inoculated with nitrogen-fixing 

 bacteria, add both humus and nitrogen to the soil and 

 should be included in every crop-rotation program. 



Mulford Culture Concentrates are economical and easy 

 to use. The sealed bottle insures purity. 



Always specify on your order what crop you want to inoculate
