HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 31 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This crop is very highly recommended for pasturage for sheep 
and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutritious pasturage within 
six to eight weeks from the time of sowing. The fattening 
properties of Rape are said to be very much better than those 
of clover. Sow three to five pounds per acre in drills; six to 
eight pounds per acre broadcast. 
SOY, or SOJA BEANS 
WILSON EARLY BLACK—A very prolific variety, and one 
of the best where a quick, early variety is desired. Average 
height on good land is about three feet. 
VIRGINIA—On account of its abundant growth and large 
yield of beans the Virginia makes most excellent hay and 
ensilage. As it is about 20 days earlier than Mammoth Yellow, 
it can be grown further North and throughout the corn belt. 
Soy, or Soja Beans. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW—The latest, yet the most extensively 
grown for both beans and forage, both of which it yields in 
great abundance. It grows more than 3 feet high; is erect in 
growth. 
Selected Seed Corns 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE-—A large-eared variety of White 
Corn. It has deep, soft and very white grains; it is a vigorous 
grower and has become very popular, and has probably taken 
more premiums than any other variety of corn for the last 
few years. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE—This variety is bred from the 
Cocke’s Prolific. The ears are much larger and longer, but 
not as many to the stalk. The ears run from 9 to 12 inches long. 
t is a rather hard, pure white variety, and makes excellent 
meal. Is especially adapted to rich low grounds, and is one of 
the most valuable ensilage varieties.

Golden Beauty Corn. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY—A broad-grained, large-eared variety, 
maturing in about 120 days; cob is small; grain very heavy 
and of a beautiful golden-yellow color. 
PAMUNKEY ENSILAGE—Our Pamunkey Ensilage Corn is 
bred for height of stalk, breadth and thickness of foliage, as well 
as size and number of ears. It is of strong and vigorous growth, 
attaining a height of 13 to 15 feet, yields an unsually heavy 
growth of fodder and usually bears two ears to the stalk. The 
ears are 10 to 12 inches long, 2% to 2% inches in diameter, 
with a good depth of grain. 
Wheat 
LEAP’S PROLIFIC—A splendid new variety, originating in 
the Shenandoah Valley. It is remarkable for its productiveness 
and fine quality of grain. The grain is flintier and of better 
milling qualities than the ordinary varieties. It is very uniform 
in its growth, stiff-strawed, healthy, strong grower and early to 
ripen. One thing particularly noticeable about this variety is its 
stooling qualities, it being particularly superior in this respect, 
producing more stalks to plant than the ordinary wheat. 
Leap’s Prolific Wheat.
