SOJA BEAN 



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 1 

 bushel per acre. (See illusiration.) 



Price, $1.00 peck; S3.00 bushel of 48 lbs.; 

 10-bushel lots, $2.90 per bushel. 



EARLY WILSON BLACK 



The grain is the richest vegetable substance knov\rn, and 'when ground 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 in rows 2 },i feet apart, 6 to 8 plants to the foot of row, requiring three pecks 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 }/^inch to 2J/^-inch lengths. The Soja Bean is also 

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



Price, 40c per lb.; $1.50 peck; S4.00 bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots $3.90 per bushel. 



ILLINI 



This new variety was developed in the State of Illinois and has also been tested in the 

 East and South with very satisfactory results. lUini grows well on very poor soils, easily 

 reaching a height of three feet in the latitude of New York eight weeks after sowng. 

 Sow 1 bushel to the acre. • 



Price, 40c per lb.; $1.75 per peck; $5.00 per bushel of 60 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 2 bushels of Peas and 1 bushel of Oats per acre, or the Peas sown 

 alone at the rate of 3 bushels 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 ha v, or as a crop to plow under for green manure, they are unsurpassed. 



CANADA WHITE, $1.50 per peck; $4.50 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $4.40 

 per bushel. 



COW PEAS 



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

 Corn-planting time. Sow 2 bushels 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. 40c per lb.; $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots $4.90 per bushel. 



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 days, adapted for north. 



Price, 40c per lb.; $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots $4.90 per bushel. 



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 

 broadcasted, 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.; 95c per 2 lbs.; $2.35 per 5 lbs.; St.25 per 10 lbs.; $9.50 per 25 lbs.; 

 $18.00 per 50 lbs.; $35.00 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 one bushel per acre not later than July in this latitude. 

 Price, $3.75 per bushel of 50 lbs.; 10 bushels and upwards, $3.65 per bushel. 



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, 25c per lb.; $1.75 per 10 lbs.; $15.00 per 100 lbs. 



HUNGARIAN 



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

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

 drought resistant. Sow one bushel per acre. 

 Price, $3.50 per bushel (48 lbs.) ; 10-bushel lots and upwards, $3.40 per bushel. 



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. per acre; if broad- 

 cast, 8 lbs. per acre. 

 Price, 30c per lb.; $20.00 per 100 lbs.
