 FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS. 



For 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. 



THE GREAT NITROGEN GATHERER. 



The best crop for Hay, Silage and green manuring — all win- 

 ter and spring pasturage. For hay, it must be cut before it 

 comes into full bloom, as otherwise it may cause hair-balls to 

 form in the animal's stomach. It is used on poor and rich 

 land. It is seeded in this country in June, July, August, Sep- 

 tember and October, and will produce an enormous crop early 

 in the following spring, suitable either for consumption as 

 green food or for hay. 15 to 20 lbs. should be sown to the 

 acre, according to the quality of ground. 15c. per lb.; by mail 

 25c. 10 lbs. by express, $1.00. Write for prices in quantity. 



Dwarf Essex Rape. 



It can be sown all through 

 the season; being perfectly 

 hardy, withstands the 

 drought, and will produce a crop in any soil by sowing broad- 

 cast at the rate of 5 lbs. to the acre, or 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., 12c; by 

 express, 10 lbs. and over. 9c. lb., not prepaid; $8.00 per 100 lbs. 

 If wanted by mail, add 8c. per pound for postage. 



SOJA BEANS. 



The great drought-re- 

 sisting forage crop, unsur- 

 passed in nutritive value 

 for feeding; also makes a 

 splendid soil improver. 

 THE DRY BEANS roasted 

 and ground resemble and 

 taste like coffee, hence it 

 has been advertised as 

 German Coffee Berry. Its 

 great value, however, is 

 as a forage crop and for 

 fertilizing the soil and for 

 pasturing or feeding the 

 green fodder. 



Sow broadcast one-half 

 bushel to the acre, or it 

 may be planted in drills 3 

 feet apart and 1 foot be- 

 tween plants.

 Corn successfully the ground should

 green manuring. Sometimes grown with oats, for mowing

 autumn. Lb.. 10c. Pk. of 15 lbs., $1.25. Bus. of 60 lbs., $4.00. 



WINTER VETCHES (Vicia villiosa.) — Also called Sand 

 Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing with 

 rye, as in many localities in the North it is hardy, remaining 

 green all winter. A valuable food for stock in early spring. 

 Use 1 to 2 bushels per acre. Lb., 15c Pk. of 15 lbs., $2.10. 

 Bus. of 60 lbs., $7.25. 



SORGHUM OR SUGAR CANE. 



EARLY AMBER grows 10 to 12 feet high and yields large 

 crops of fodder, which is relished by all kinds of stock. It 

 will produce two cuttings during the summer. Sow 3 to 4 

 quarts per acre in drills and cultivate same as corn. For 

 hay, sow one bushel per acre broadcast. Lb., 10c. Pk., 50c, 

 Bus., $1.50, by freight or express. 



J EARLY ORANGE has a large, strong growth, but requires 

 longer time to mature than the Early Amber. Very popular 

 in the South, where there are long seasons. 



Prices same as Early Amber. 



TEuslNTE. — A most valuable and enormous yielding cut- 

 ting forage crop, but should be planted very early to succeed 

 well. Good to use as green food, and also makes an excellent, 

 fodder. It branches as many as 50 stalks from one seed. 

 Plant in May or June in rows 4 to 5 feet apart each way.

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 food. Sow in May or June at the rate of one 

 bushel per acre for seed, or two bushels for soiling. 



BLACK EYE COW PEA. — The Black Eye Cow Peas are 

 very prolific and bring a good price on our market. 



WHIPPOORWILL PEA. — Makes a splendid forage pea. Vines 

 stay green longer than other varieties; pods ripen earlier. 



WONDERFUL, or UNKNOWN. — This makes an enormous 

 and remarkable growth of vines, but requires the full grow- 

 ing season to make its crop. In yield and growth of vines it 

 surpasses any of the varieties of Cow Peas, and it produces 

 very largely of the shelled Peas. This variety should be 

 planted in May in order to come to full maturity. 



Canada Field Peas. 



Sown in February, 

 March or April, with a 

 small quantity of Oats, 

 they make a large yield 

 of forage. Sow 1 to lMs
