AGRICULTURAL SEEDS 



JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 



(Henderson's) 



Introduced by Peter Henderson years ago, 

 has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers 

 in this country. It is of strong, branching 

 growth, stands up well and produces from two 

 to four times as much grain as any other variety 

 under same conditions. It is also fully a week 

 earlier 



Our seed is grown from the largest Japanese 

 type imported by us for stock seed. Sow 50 

 pounds per acre. (See illustration.) 



Price. 30c per lb.; SI. 50 per 10 lbs.; $3.25 per 

 50 lbs.; $6.00 per 100 lbs. 



SOY OR SOJA BEAN 



EARLY WILSON BLACK 



The grain is the- richest-vegetable substance -known, and -whenground^and-fed 

 to cattle gives a milk richer and better than if fed other meal. Planted the latter 

 part of May, in latitude of New York, the Beans are ready for harvesting in about 100 

 days. Sow the Beans from the middle to end of May, and the Millet from last week in 

 June till first week in July; both will then be ready for silo about the end of August. 



Planted rnrows 2 J^- feet apart,"6 -to 8 plants to the foot of row, requiring 50 lbs. per 

 acre, they yield 15 to 20 tons per acre of fodder, very rich in flesh formers. For green feed, 

 use from time of blossoming till pods are well filled ; for the silo, cut as soon as most of the 

 pods are well filled, and cut into J4-mch to-2J4-inch lengths. The Soja Bean is also 

 valuable as a soil enricher, gathering nitrogen from the air. (See illustration.) 



Price 35c per lb.; $1.50 per 10 lbs.; $3.25 per 50 lbs.; $6.00 per 100 lbs. 



MAMMOTH YELLOW 



This variety has been tested in the East and South with very satisfactory results. 

 Grows well on very poor soils, easily reaching a height of three feet in the latitude of 

 New York eight weeks after sowing. Sow 50 pounds to the acre. 



Price, 35c per lb.; $1.50 per 10 lbs.; $3.25 per 50 lbs.; $6.00 per 100 lbs. 



CANADA FIELD PEAS 



There is no crop of greater value than Field Peas. Whether for fodder, in mixture with 

 Oats, sown at the rate of 100 lbs. of Peas and 1 bushel of Oats per acre, or the Peas sown 

 alone at the rate of 150 lbs. per acre for plowing under. Peas have the power of extract- 

 ing nitrogen from the air and fixing it in the soil. Sown alone for fodder or in combina- 

 tion with Oats for hay, or as a crop to plow under for green manure, they are unsurpassed. 



CANADA WHITE, Price, 30c per. lb.; $1.50 per 10 lbs.; $4.00 per 50 lbs.; $7.00 per 

 100 lbs. 



COW PEAS 



Cow Peas are more tender than Canada or Field Peas and should not be sown until 

 Corn-planting time. Sow 100 lbs. per acre as late as the middle of July. 



For green-manuring clay land, the crop should be turned under green. On sandy soil, 

 already too light, the vines should decay on the surface and then be turned under. 



BLACK EYE 



A popular and productive early sort. 



Price. 30c per lb.; $1.50 per 10 lbs.; $4.00 per 50 lbs.; $7.00 per 100 lbs. 



NEW ERA 



A new, extra-early variety, earlier than the Black Eye, the quickest growing of any 

 of the Cow Peas, maturing in about 60 davs, adapted for noruh. 



Price 30c per lb.; $1.50 per 10 lbs.; $4.00 per 50 lbs.; $7.00 per 100 lbs. 



GREEN MANURING SEED MIXTURE 



A combination of various rapid growing legumes which will add humus and nitrogen 

 to the soil. Plant early in the fall for turning under in the spring. Mixture may be 

 broadcast, or if the last of the crops have not been removed, sow between rows. Seed 

 may also be sown in spring or summer for preparing ground for lawn making in fall. 

 If sown then the plants should be allowed to attain a growth of about one foot before 

 turning under. Sow at the rate of 1 lb. per 1000 square feet. 



Price, 50c per lb.; "90c per 2 lbs.; $2.00 per 5 lbs.; $3.75 per 10 lbs.; $9.00 per 25 lbs.; 

 $16.00 per 50 lbs.; $30.00 per 100 lbs.; transportation paid. 



MILLET 



GOLDEN (Northern Grown) 



Millet is a dry weather, summer catch crop, supplementing other early summer maturing 

 crops, and of value to succeed crops that fail. It is the best crop for planting on newly 

 broken land — useful in certain kinds of rotation, excellent for soiling. 

 Golden Millet is considerably larger than Hungarian and yields a much heavier crop. 

 Sow 50 pounds per acre not later than July in this latitude. 

 Price, 20c per lb.; $1.25 per 10 lbs.; $3.50per 50 lbs.; $6.50 per 100 lbs. 



JAPANESE 



Valuable in the Northern States as a quick-growing forage and ensilage crop, at- 

 taining a height in good soil of 6 to 8 feet and yielding from 10 to 18 tons of green 

 fodder per acre. For feeding green, it may be cut from day to day as needed 

 until the seed begins to ripen. During this period it is much relished by stock. 

 For dried fodder it should be cut in the blossom stage. Sow from May to July, 

 15 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcast, or if in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, use 

 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Price, 20c per lb.; $1.25 per 10 lbs.; $6.50 per 100 lbs. 



HUNGARIAN 



Hungarian Millet is one of the quickest and earliest catch crops for hay and 

 can be successfully grown when sown up to the middle of August. Fairly 

 drought resistant. Sow 50 pounds per acre 

 Price, 20c per lb ; $1.25 per 10 lbs.; $3.50 per 50 lbs.; $6.50 per 100 lbs. 



PEARL 



This has been cultivated in the Southern States, under the names of African 

 Cane, Egyptian Millet, Cattail Millet and Horse Millet. It grows with tropical 

 luxuriance in strong, loamy soil. Is not so hardy as the other varieties, and suc- 

 ceeds best in latitudes south of New York. Sow in drills, 5 to 6 lbs. pel - acre; if broad- 

 cast, 8 lbs. per acre. 

 Price, 30c per lb.; $2.50 per 10 lbs.; $15.00 per 100 lbs.
