FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS. 



FO R 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 enabled to 

 supply the best quality at lowest prices. 



CRIMSON CLOVER, __j Great Nitrogen Gatherer 



THE best crop for Hay, Silage and green manuring — all winter and 

 spring pasturage. For Hay, it must be cut before it comes into 

 full bloom, as otherwise it may cause Jiair-balls to form in the 



animal's stom- 

 ach. It is used 

 on poor and rich 

 land. It is 

 seeded in this 

 country in June, 

 July, August, 

 September and 

 October, and will 

 produce an enor- 

 mous crop early 

 in the following 

 spring, suitable 

 either for con- 

 sumption as 

 green food or for 

 hay. Fifteen or 

 twenty pounds 

 should be sown 

 to the acre, ac- 

 cording to quality 

 of ground. 10c.

 TEOSINTE-A most valuable and enormous yielding, continu- 

 ous cutting forage crop. Good to use as green food, and also makes an

VELVET BF.ANS.-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 fora £ 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-improver, 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 ap.art. They soon make a rapid growth, cover- 

 ing the ground with a thick mass of vines. Per Bushel, 8*2.25.

 Prices on Application. 

 BLACK COW PEA. — It is a splendid land improver and most valuable 

 , as a forage crop, making an enormous yield of rich, nutritious feed. Sow 

 in May or June at the rate of one bushel per acre for seed, or 2 bushels for 

 soiling. 



BLACK EYE COW PEA.— The Black Eye Peas are very prolific 

 and bring a good price on our market. 



WHIPPOORWILL PEA— Makes a splendid forage pea. Vines 

 stay green 'onger than other varieties; pods ripen earlier. 



WONDERFUL, OR UNKNOWN. — This makes an enormous and 

 remarkable growth of vines, but requires the full growing season to make 

 its crop. In yield and growth of vines it surpasses any of the varieties of 

 Cow Peas, and it yields very largely of the shelled Peas. This variety 

 s hould be planted in May in order to come to full maturity. 



CANADA FIEI D PEAS.— Sown in February, March or April, 

 with a small quantity of oats, they make a large yield of forage. Sow 

 one to one and a-half bushels per acre broadcast with half a bushel of oats. 

 Cut for hay before the Peas mature. Per Peck, 50c. Per Bushel, SI. 75. 

 Write for special prices if a quantity is required. 



KAFFIR CORN.- The heads contain small white seeds, which 

 make an excellent flour. They are greedily eaten by horses and cattle, 

 and make fine feed for poultry, either fed in the grain or ground and cooked. 

 Use four to five pounds to acre. Lb., 10c. 10 Lbs., 50c. 100 Lbs., S3.0O. 



DWARF ESSEX 

 RAPE. 



It can be sown'all through 

 the season, being perfectly 

 hardy, wit hstands the 

 drought, and will produce a crop in any soil by sowing broadcast at 

 the rate of five pounds to the acre, or in drills or rows two feet apart at 

 the rate of 4 pounds per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. in drills. It is unequaled 

 as a pasture for sheep, and as a fattening food for all kinds of live stock 

 it is without a rival. Lb., by mail, 20c. By express, 5 Lbs., 50c. 8.7.00

SOJA BEANS.

 makes a splendid soil improver. 



THE DRY BEANS,

 as a forage crop and for If .
