SEEDS AND IMPLEMENTS 



GRASSES AND CLOVER SEEDS 



All prices on seeds are subject to change without notice. 



Timothy (Phleum pratense.) A field and not a pasture 

 grass, as it will not endure close and frequent crop- 

 ping; but for a hay crop on strong soils it will produce more than 

 any other sort. } to § bushel per acre. Bushel, 45 pounds. 15c. 

 pound. 90c. peck. $3.00 Bushel. 



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. 1£ 

 to 2 bushels per acre. Bushel, 14 pounds. 20c. pound. $2.25 

 bushel. 



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. 20c. pound. $1.75 bushel. 



Rhode Island Bent (Agrostis canina.) A fine and 

 very permanent grass, chiefly used 

 for pastures or lawns, for which it is one of the best. Bushel, 14 

 pounds. 40c. pound. 



German Or Golden Millet Medium early forage plant; 



prolific in stalk and grain. 

 25 pounds to an acre. Bushel, 50 pounds. $1.75 bushel. 



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

 manent grass, standing our climate well, 

 and makes good pasture when fed close. Is valuable for low, 

 wet meadows, producing a large return in good hay. Sow in 

 spring and fall, 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Bushel, 14 pounds. 30c. 

 pound. $28.00 per 100 pounds. 



GLOVERS 



Medium Red (Trifolium pratense.) Excellent for pas- 

 ture or hay; valuable as a green manure, and 

 should be in all grass mixtures. Eight to ten pounds per acre 

 when sown alone. 25c. per pound. 



Alsike Or Swedish (Trifolium hybridum.) Thrives in 

 rich, moist soil. Does not succeed 

 on high, dry lands. Six pounds per acre. 25c. per pound. 



Scarlet or Crimson (Trifolium 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. 15c. per pound. 



Alfalfa Or Lucerne (Medicago sativa.) Where this suc- 

 ceeds it is the most valuable of all 

 the clovers; requires a very fine, mellow deep soil. Sow 20 pounds 

 to the acre. 25c. per pound. 



Mammoth Red (Trifolium pratense.) Used largely for 

 plowing under for manure. By judi- 

 cious use exhausted lands can be reclaimed, as it will grow where 

 common clover will fail. Eight pounds to the acre. 25c. per 

 pound. 



White (Trifolium repens.) Valuable to mix with lawn 

 grass. Should be in every mixture for permanent 

 pasture. £ pound, 15c. \ pound, 20c. Pound, 40c. 



Canada Field Peas. Sown early with oats, usually 

 make one of the largest yielding 

 and most nutritious spring forage crops that can be put in; but 

 they should be sown early in February or not later than the 

 middle of March, for best results. The earlier they are put in, 

 the better. Under favorable circumstances, Canada Field Peas 

 will yield more nutritious forage to the acre than any similar 

 crop that can be seeded in the spring, and they make a complete 

 food, feeding grain being unnecessary when horses and cattle 

 are feed on oat-pea hay. Sow in January, February or early in 

 March, at the rate of one bushel per acre, with one and a half 

 bushels of rust proof or spring oats. 



COW Peas Throughout the South this pea has always 

 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 ex- 

 cellent fodder when fed green. It is also highly recommended 

 for ensilage when mixed in silo with green corn stalks. In the 

 North it is considered superior to clover for plowing under as a 

 preparation 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 pulver- 

 ized warm soil. If wanted to plow for manure, sow in drills one 

 foot apart. If grown for fodder or for the seed, plant three and 

 one-half feet apart and cultivate thoroughly. 



SORGHUM 

 Early Amber Cane 



The earliest and makes the finest 

 quality of forage or syrup. Best 



seed. 10c. pound. 50c. peck. 



BUCKWHEAT 



Sow at the rate of 1 bushel per acre broadcast in June, July, 

 or in early August. 



New Japanese This new sort has proven to be much 

 earlier and more productive than any 

 other variety. Grains very large and rich brown color. It ex- 

 cels all in yield and earliness. 



Dwarf Essex Rape 



This crop i3 very highly recom- 

 mended for pasturage for sheep 

 and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutritious pasturage within 

 six to eight weeks from the time of sowing. The fattening prop- 

 erties of Rape are said to be very much better than those of 

 clover. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre in drills, 6 to 8 pounds per 

 acre broadcast. 10c. per pound. $7.00 per 100 pounds. 



This is one of the most val- 

 uable 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 pounds 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. 15c. per pound. 



Sow at the rate of 2 bushels per 

 acre in February, March or April 

 —the earlier the better. 



Special prices on large lots. 



Hairy or Winter Vetch 



White Spring Oats
