SEEDS AND IMPLEMENTS 



GRASSES AND CLOVER SEEDS 



. . Owing to Market Fluctuations We will Give 



Timothy (Phleum pratense.) A field and not a pas- 

 ture grass, as it will not endure close and 

 frequent cropping; but for a hay crop on strong soils it 

 will produce more than any other sort. J4 to ^ bushel 

 per acre. Bushel, 45 pounds. 



Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata.) One of the 

 very best pasture grasses, as it is 

 exceedingly palatable to stock, and will endure a good 

 deal of cropping. i>^ to 2 bushels per acre. Bushel, 14 

 pounds. 



Kentucky Blue Grass is the most nutritious, 



hardy and valuable of all 

 northern grasses. For meadow or pasture, sow about 28 

 pounds per acre. Sow early in the spring or in October 

 or november. Bushel, 14 pounds. 



.Special Quotations for Bulk Seeds 

 Rhole Island Bent 



chiefly used 



(Agrostis canina.) A fine 

 and very permanent grass, 

 for pastures or lawns, for which it is one of 

 the best. Bushel, 14 pounds. 



German or Golden Millet Medium early forage 



plant, prolific in stalk 

 and grain. 25 pounds to an acre. Bushel, 50 pounds. 



Red Top Fancy (Cleaned from chaff.) It is a good, 

 permanent grass, standing our 

 climate well, and makes good pasture when fed close. 

 Is valuable for low, wet meadows, producing a large re- 

 turn in good hay. Sow in spring and fall, 8 to 10 pounds 

 per acre. Bushel, 14 pounds. 



CLOVER SEEDS 



Medium Red (Trifolium pratense.) Excellent for 



pasture or hay; valuable as a green 

 manure, and should be in all grass mixtures. Eight to 

 ten pounds per acre when sown alone. 



Alsike or Swedish (TrifoHum hybridum.) 



Thrives in rich, moist soil. 



Does not succeed on high, dry lands. Six lbs. per acre. 



Scarlet or Crimson (TrifoHum incarnatum.) 



Most valuable crop for 

 green manuring, soiling, hay, pasture and ensilage. It is 

 an annual and must be sown every year. Improves worn 

 out and poor soils, and is the cheapest and best fertilizer. 

 Being a winter crop, it should be sown in August and 



September. Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre. Bushel, 60 

 pounds. 



Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago sativa.) Where 

 this succeeds it is the most 

 valuable of all the clovers ; requires a very fine, mellow, 

 deep soil. Sow 20 pounds to the acre. 



Mammoth Red (Trifolium pratense.) Used 



largely for plowing under for 

 manure. By judicious use exhausted lands can be re- 

 claimed, as it will grow where common clover will fail. 

 Eight pounds to the acre. 



White (Trifolium repens.) Valuable to mix with 

 lawn grass. Should be in every mixture for 

 permanent pasture. 



MISCELLANEOUS FARM SEEDS 



Cow Peas Throughout the South this pea has al- 

 ways been valuable for the improvement 

 of the soil, being to the South what clover is to the 

 North. The seed is ground and used for cattle feed. The 

 stalks and leaves make excellent fodder when fed green. 

 It is also highly recommended for ensilage when mixed 

 in silo with green corn stalks. In the north it is consid- 

 ered superior to clover for plowing under as a prepara- 

 tion for wheat, as it matures the first year from seeding. 

 Poor, sandy soil may be made into a fertile loam by 

 plowing under a crop of Cow Peas. Plant seed in a 

 thoroughly pulverized warm soil. If wanted to plow for 

 manure, so win drills one foot apart. If grown for fod- 

 der or for the seed, plant three and one-half feet apart 

 and cultivate thoroughly. 



SORGHUM 



Early Amber Cane 



syrup. Best seed. 



The earliest and makes the 

 finest quality of forage or 



BUCKWHEAT 



Sow at the rate of i bushel per acre broadcast in June, 

 July, or in early August. 



New Japanese 



Dwarf Essex Rape 



This new sort has proven to be 

 much earlier and more productive 

 than any other variety. Grains very large and rich 

 brown color. It excels all in yield and earliness. 



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 muct better than those of clover. Sow 3 to 5 lbs. 

 per acre in drills, 6 to 8 lbs. per acre broadcast. 



Hairy or Winter Vetch This is one of the most 



"^ valuable forage crops for 



the South, but requires to be sown in the fall for best 

 results. Can be sown any time from July to October. 

 Succeeds admirably sown at the last working of corn or 

 cotton with winter oats or wheat. Should be sown at 

 the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. to the acre with one bushel of 

 oats or three-fourths bushel of wheat. The oats or wheat 

 help to hold the Vetch off the ground, enabling it to 

 make a better growth. 



White Spring Oats Sow at the rate of 2 bushels 



^ ° per acre m February, March 



or April — the earlier the better. 



Special prices on large lots. 



SEER WHEAT, RYE AND BARLEY 



Gaboon Broadcast Seed Sevier 



For Sowing Seed Grain, Clover Seed, Etc. 



The best seeder manufactured, and sows all kinds of grain, clover seed, etc., 

 rapidly and evenly. A person entirely unused to seeding can, by following the 

 simple directions sent with machine, sow from four to six acres an hour at 

 a common walking gait. It sows uniformly and saves four-fifths in labor by 

 its use. Every farmer should have one of these sowers. Circulars giving full 

 information and directions for use, mailed on application. Price, $3.00.
