84. EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN-Farm Seeds 
~ Canada Field Peas 
For Fodder and Green-Manuring 
“Deas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year than 
is now purchased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars.””—(Yearbook 
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.) 
For the Northern States 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, 
there is no crop that we can so strongly recommend. Peas have the power of extracting 
nitrogen from the air, the soil from which a crop of Peas has been harvested is richer 
in nitrogen than before, and there is no kind of live stock on the farm to which Peas and 
Oats in mixture cannot be fed with positive advantage. The Marrowfat and Canada 
Field Peas, especially the white variety, are valuable for early spring sowing; being 
exceptionally hardy, the crop is not easily injured by late frosts. Sown alone for fodder 
* or in combination with Oats for hay, or as a crop to plow under for green manure, they 
are unsurpassed. Peas can be followed by Millet or Crimson Clover. (See engraving.) 
Prices of Field Peas for Fodder and Green-Manuring. 
Peas, Canada White; $1.50 per peck; $5.50 per bushel of 60 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, 
$5.40 per bushel, 
Cow Peas 
Cow Peas are more tender than Canada or Field Peas and should not be sown until 
Corn-planting time. Cow Peas, being of very rapid growth during the warm weather, 
can be sown as late as the middle of July with reasonable assurance of a profitable crop, 
either for harvesting or plowing under. 
The early varieties of Cow Peas are quite extensively and successfully grown for forage 
and soiling as far north as Massachusetts, but so far north the crop may not ripen seeds. 
As a soil renovator and enricher Cow Peas are very valuable. A crop of Cow Peas col- 
lects nitrogen from the air in large quantities and fixes it in the soil, thus adding this 
expensive element of fertilizer to the land without cost, and leaving it richer and in 
splendid condition for the future crop. All crops do well after Cow Peas. Cow Peas 
grow on all soils from the stiffest clays to porous sands, barren uplands and alluvial 
bottoms. The feeding value of Cow Peas is high, whether as green forage, cured hay or 
silage, being especially rich in blood, bone and muscle-forming material. 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. Sow 2 bushels 
per acre. 
Black Eye Cow Peas. A popular and productive early sort. 
$7.00 per bushel of 60 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, $6.90 per bushel. 
New Era Cow Peas. A new, extra-early variety, earlier than the Black Eye, the 
quickest growing of any of the Cow Peas, maturing in about 60 days, specially 
adapted for planting north. Yields well. Price, 20c. per lb.; $7.00 per bushel of 
60 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, $6.90 per bushel. 
Price, 20c. per Ib.;

Henderson’s 
Clydesdale Oats 
The Most Popular High-Grade 
White Oats in the United States 
Early and Productive—Free from Disease— 
Does Not Shell Out in Handling 
Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly 
gained in popularity, until to-day it is the most popular High-Grade 
White Oat in the United States. The ultimate financial benefit accruing 
to the American farmers by the annual distribution of several thousand 
bushels of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats cannot be overestimated. 
These Oats weigh considerably more per measured bushel than any 
other variety, so that the produce is worth for seed purposes at least 
double the market value of ordinary Oats. No other Oat can show such 
a record—75 to 100 bushels per acre, and double the usual quantity of 
straw. Another most important advantage of Henderson’s Clydesdale 
Oats to the farmer is the fact that they have been thoroughly cleaned 
by the latest and most improved machinery, and are absolutely free 
from weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. (See engraving.)

Long’s 
White Tartar Oats 
The Ideal Side Oat for American Farmers 
The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Side Oat in 
cultivation. It is suitable for all soils; of robust and vigorous constitu- 
tion, is remarkably early and an immense cropper; the straw is long 
and stout, stands up well and does not readily lodge or twist. The 
heads measure from § to 10% inches, and the kernels are of immense 
size, thick, plump and heavy; it is undoubtedly the heaviest cropping 
domestic white Oat ever offered. 
Its extreme earliness, great length and strength of straw, thick, 
plump grains and the heavy yields it is capable of producing give Long’s 
White Tartar all the necessary qualifications which go to make an ideal 
Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre.
