F O -A. C3- E A 3Sr P 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 

 MVply the best quality at lowest prices. 



CRIMSON CLOVER, The Great yitrogen Gatherer. 



THE best crop for Haj', 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 hair-balls to form in the 



animal's s t o m - 

 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.

TEOSI?iXE.— A musr valuable and enormous yielding, continuous 

 rnitting forage crop; but should be planted very early to succee I well. Good 

 t» use as green food, nn-^ also makes an excellent dry fodder. It branches as 

 many as 50 stalks from one peed. Plant in May or June in rows 4 to 5 feet 

 apa rt each way. Oz.. 15c. } Lb. , 35c. Lb., SI. 00, postpaid. 



VECVET BEANS.— We strongly recommend our customers to sow 

 tKis Beau as a soil-improving crop. It costs much less per acre to seed 

 tkaa most any other fora ' or soil-improving crop grown, and it makes a 

 larger growth and yield ct 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 apart. They soon make a rapid growth, cover- 

 ing the ground with a thick mass of vines. Per Bushel, !S3.50.

 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 longer than other varieties; pods ripen earlier. 



WONDERFQL, 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 

 6ow Peas, and it yields very largely of the shelled Peas. This variety 

 s hould be planted in May in order to c o me to full maturity. 



\ CAPfADA EIEI-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 broadca.st with half a bushel of oats. 

 Wut for hay before the Peas mature. Per Peck, 50c. Per Bushel, SI. 65. 



Write for special prices if a quantity is required. 



KAEEIR corn.- The heads contain small white seeds, which 

 make an excellent floiir. 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., 60c. 100 Lbs., »3,00.

The Great Drouth-Resisting 

 Forage Crop, unsurpassed in 

 nutritive value for feeding ; also 

 makes a splendid soil improver. 



THE DRY BEANS, 

 roasted and ground resem- 

 ble 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 three feet 

 apart and one foot between 

 plants.

 prepared. Plant seeds in rows 3 feet apart by 18 inches. The plants 

 should be cultivated as soon as they are out of the ground. Harvesting 

 should be done when the seed is in a soft, milky condition.

VETCHES, OR TARES. 



SPRING VETCHES (Vicia sativa.) — Closely associated with 

 Peas in character. Highly valuable for soiling or for green manuring. 

 Sometimes grown with oats, for mowing and feeding to stock. Use tw«. 

 to three bushels to the acre. Sow in spring, while ground is cool and. 

 moist, or in early autumn. Bushel of 60 pounds. Write for prices. 



WINTER VETCHES (Vicia viUiosa). — Also called Sand Vetch, 

 or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing with rye, as in many- 

 localities in the North it is hard.v, remaining green all winter. A valuable 

 food for stock in ,^ariy spring. Use one to two bushels per acre. BusheH 

 of 60 pounds. Write for prices.
