GRASSES AND CLOVER SEEDS 



All prices on application. 



TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense).— A field and not a 

 pasture 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. One-quarter to 

 one-half bushel per acre. Bushel, 45 pounds. 



ORCHARD GRASS (DACTYLIS GLOMERATA).— 



One of the very best pasture grasses, as it is exceed- 

 ingly palatable to stock, and will endure a good deal 

 of cropping. One and a half to two bushels per acre. 

 Bushel, 14 pounds. 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.— Is the most nutri- 

 tious, 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. 



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. 



GERMAN, OR GOLDEN MILLET.— Medium early 

 forage plant, prolific in stalk and grain. Twenty-five 

 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 return in good 

 hay. Sow in spring and fall, eight to ten pounds per 

 acre. Bushel, 14 pounds. 



CLOVERS 



MEDIUM RED (TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE).— Ex- 

 cellent for pasture or hay; valuable as a green ma- 

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

 ten pounds per acre when sown alone. 



ALSIKE, OR SWEDISH (TRIFOLIUM HYBRID- 



UM). — Thrives in rich, moist soil. Does not succeed 

 on high, dry land. Six pounds per acre. 



SCARLET, OR CRIMSON (TRIFOLIUM INCAR- 



NATUM). — 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 judi- 

 cious use exhausted lands can be reclaimed, 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 per- 

 manent pasture. 



SORGHUM 



EARLY AMBER CANE.— The earliest, and makes 

 the finest quality of forage or syrup. Best seed. 



COW PEAS 

 Will Make You Rich! 



SOW THEM. — For forage crops. After grain crops. 

 On vacant land. Last working of corn. Put Cow 

 Peas in every available piece of land you have — they 

 will wonderfully increase the value and productive- 

 ness of your entire farm. 



BEST VARIETIES TO PLANT. 



Clays, Whip-poor-wills, New Era, Mixed, Soja Beans, 

 Black Cows, Black Eyes, Canada Field Peas, etc. All

BUCKWHEAT 



Sow at the rate of one 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 

 excels all in yield and earliness. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE.— This crop is very highly 

 recommended for pasturage for sheep and cattle, fur- 

 nishing most rich and nutritious pasturage within six 

 to eight weeks from the time of sowing. The fatten- 

 ing properties of Rape are said to be very much better 

 than those of clover. Sow three to five pounds per 

 acre in drills, six to eight pounds 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 win- 

 ter 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. 



WHITE SPRING OATS.— Sow at the rate of two 

 bushels per acre in February, March or April — the 

 earlier the better. 



Special prices on large lots. 



SELECTED SEED CORNS 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE.— A large-eared variety 

 of White Corn. It has deep, soft and very white 

 grains; it is a vigorous grower and has become very 

 popular, and has probably taken more premiums than 

 any other variety of corn for the last few years. Be- 

 ing a soft corn, it is excellent for stock feeding, but it 

 is more liable to rot on the stalks in a bad, wet sea- 

 son than harder varieties. Our seed is grown from pre- 

 mium stock. 



COCKE'S PROLIFIC. — A very valuable white va- 

 riety, making enormous yields on rich land. Espe- 

 cially adapted to river bottoms or lands subject ta 

 overflows; on account of its flintiness it can be 

 shocked and harvested early and will not rot in the 

 shock; grains white and flinty; superior for meal and 

 hominy. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. — A broad-grained, large-eared 

 variety, maturing in about 120 days; cob is small; 

 grain very heavy, and of a beautiful golden yellow 

 color.
