Dwarf Essex Rape — This rape may be 

 sown broadcast at the rate of 8 pounds per 

 acre and harrowed in. Under favorable 

 conditions it is ready for pasturing sheep or 

 cattle within six weeks from the time of 

 sowing, and on an average one acre will 

 carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks to 

 two months. In the northern states it 

 should be sown from May to September for 

 fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool 

 weather it should not be sown in the south- 

 ern states until September or October for 

 winter pasture. Price 15c per pound; $6 

 per bushel. 



Winter or Hairy Vetch— Though it 

 succeeds and produces good crops on poor, 

 sandy soil, it is much more vigorous on 

 good land and grows to a height of four or 

 five feet. It is perfectly hardy throughout 

 the United States, remaining green all win- 

 ter, and should be sown during August and 

 September mixed with Rye, which serves as 

 a support for the plants or in spring with 

 Oats and Barley. It is the earliest crop for 

 culture, being nearly a month earlier than 

 Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken 

 off the land in time for plantiug spring 

 crops. Price 15c per pound, $7.00 bushel. 



Carpet Grass — This is one of the finest 

 grasses for lawns. Lawns planted in this seed

 variety, and makes the finest and most 

 nutritious hay. $1.50 per pound.

Best of All Corn.- This 



white corn is the most profit- 

 able variety yet introduced. 

 It is a week later than the 

 Large Adams, but the ears 

 are very large, nearly double 

 the size of Adams, therefore 

 the lateness of bearing is off- 

 set by its extra large size, a 

 quality that is demanded by 

 all our truckers and gar- 

 deners. We recommend it 

 very highly. Price, per 

 quart, 20c-; per gallon, 50c; 

 per peck, 75c; per bushel, 

 $2.50.
