VETCH 



Winter Vetches, or Tares (Vicia ViUosa). Also called Sand 

 \'ctch, or Hairj" ^ etch. Recommended for fall sowing with ne, 

 which ser\-es as a support. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of 

 the countrj-, and maturing fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet 

 Clover, it can be har\-ested or plowed under and the ground 

 used for the usual spring crops. It is the best green-manure crop 

 that can be grown. Lb., 45 cts., postpaid. Bushel, 60 lbs. 

 Write for Leaflet and price. 



ALFALFA (Medlcago Sativa) 



It is an established fact that Alfalfa sown during August will 

 prove more satisfactory than when sown during the spring, especially 

 if American-grown seed is sown. After once established it will 

 produce three to four hea\-y cuttings in a season, ihaking a total of 

 from three to six tons of nutritious hay per acre. We handle only 

 high-grade American Grown Seed of Alfalfa, and will be pleased to 

 send sample and price on application. We have publ;=hed a Special 

 Leaflet on Alfalfa, which teUs how and when to prepare the land, 

 sow seed, cure and harvest the crop. A copy mailed free on reqviest. 



CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER 



Crimson Clover has become wonderfullj' popular both for pasture 

 and hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. It can be 

 seeded at any time from June to October at the rate of IS to 20 lbs. 

 per acre, and makes the earhest possible green pasture, blooming 

 the latter part of April or May, and for feeding as hay should be 

 cut just before coming into full bloom. One acre grown at the New 

 Jersey Experimental Station yielded, I\Iay 31, 6997 pounds of 

 organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds of phosphoric 

 arid and 186i pounds of potash. The nitrogen alone was fully 

 equal to that found in 20 tons of stable manure, and at such a smaU 

 cost. It not only builds up worn out soils, when turned under, but 

 rich soils are kept up to their fertilitj' with less cost than bj^ any 

 other means. Lb., 35 cts., postpaid. Write for special circular 

 and price of seed per bushel.
