FOR WINTER GRAZING © 
ITALIAN RBYE.—Sown in the Fall, it 
comes up quickly and makes a densely 
matted turf, which gives most excellent 
grazing during Fall, Winter and early 
Spring. If it is desired to be used as a 
hay crop it should not be grazed too long 
in the Spring, as it shoots up very early, 
making a thick growth of grass which 
when cut cures up splendid for hay. With 
a favorable season it will yield three or 
four successive cuttings of most excellent 
and nutritious hay. Can be sown from 
September to March. It should be sown at 
the rate of 60 lbs. to the acre, and as it is 
an annual, it requires seeding each year. 
It should be cut when in bloom for hay. 
1 1lb., 40c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $3.25; 20 Ih. 
bu., $5.00; 100 l1bs., $20.00, not prepaid. 
RYE (Southern Grown.)—It stools heav- 
ily, can be grazed several times and then 
allowed to go to seed. Cut and feed green; 
has made as much as ten tons of green 
food per acre in five months. It is sown 
from the middle of August until November, 
and then again in the early Spring. The 
main planting time is in the Fall, however, 
as it is more valuable when sown early. It 
is a very hardy plant, withstanding all 
kinds of very cold weather without serious 
injury. Sown both broadcast and in drills; 
1% bushels per acre. The seed should be 
covered no more than two inches. For hogs, 
sow from September 10th to November Ist, 
together with crimson clover. Graze from 
December ist to April 15th. Rye can be 
planted for late Fafl and Winter grazing at 
the last laying by of cotton. 1 Ih. 30c., 
postpaid; peck, $1.00; 56 lb. bu., $3.50, not 
prepaid. 
ABRUZZI RYE.—Years ago agents of 
the United States Department of Agricul- 
ture found a variety of rye in one of the 
Italian provinces and sent a quantity of it 
to Washington. From there it was distrib- 
uted to various parts of the United States. 
In this way a prominent planter of South 
Carolina got hold of it. Its remarkably 
rapid growth so soon after planting at- 
tracted his attention and the small patch 
was carefully watched. It made good then 
and it has made good regularly ever since, 
not only in South Carolina but in all the 
other Southern States where small quanti- 
ties have been planted. Planted from Sep- 
tember to November, 1% bushels per acre, 
1 Ib., 40c., postpaid; 14 bu., $3.25; bu., $6.00, 
not prepaid. 
ROSEN RYE.—Rosen Rye in comparison 
with other ryes in the same season has the 
reputation of yielding 10 bushels more and 
sometimes 15 bushels more to the acre. 
Planted from September to November, 1% 
bushels per acre, 56 lbs. per bushel. 1 Ib., 
35¢., postpaid; 14 bu., $2.50; bu., $4.50, not 
prepaid. 
f WILD RICE.—The natural time for sow- 
ing is in the Spring, although seed can be 
sown any time. The seed should be first 
thoroughly soaked in water so that it will 
sink into the desired situation. It may be 
sown in shallow water, not over three feet 
deep, and from this depth in to the shore. 
A still day should be chosen for sowing so 
that it will not drift into toc deep water. 
Wild Rice is unequalled as an attraction 
for wild fowl, for planting in game re- 
Serves and small lakes. Sow 14 to 20 
pounds to the acre. 1 Ihb., $1.25, po aid; 
10 lbs., $10.00, not prepaid. nA ta oe 
Hairy Vetch. 
HAIRY, WINTER OR SAND VETCH.— 
Planted from August to November or in 
early Spring, with small amounts of rye, 
oats, wheat or barley, for a support after it 
begins to run, vetch makes a magnificent 
hay crop in Spring. coming in ahead of 
everything else except thoroughly estab- 
lished yields of alfalfa, and at the same 
time leaves added fertility to the soil. 
Crops like Vetch makes possible profitable 
live stock growing, which in turn means 
prosperity on Southern farms. Forty 
pounds per acre during October and No- 
vember. Price, lb., 35c., postpaid; % bt, 
$6.00; 60 lb. bu., $11.50, not prepaid. 
KUDZU.—Perennial, with large tuberous, 
starchy roots, making a most remarkably 
vigorous growth of slender, twining, hairy 
stems. A hardy vine remarkable for the 
rapidity of its growth, and most useful for 
covering arbors and verandas. From a 
well established root, vines will grow 40 
to 60 feet in a single season, producing a 
profusion of very large leaves. The top 
becomes woody. The large, fleshy root as- 
sumes most curious shapes, the main 
branches often being 4 to 5 feet long. The 
flowers are mostly borne on the woody 
stems. With age, the tops are more like- 
ly to survive the winter. It is relished by 
horses, cows, hogs, sheep, etc., aS a pas- 
ture grass and as a hay grass. Highly 
recommended. Oz., 75c.; % I1b., $2.00; Ihb., 
$6.00.
