WINTER, OR HAIRY VETCH 



( Vicia Villosa) 



The Winter, or Hairy Vetch, is growing in favor as a winter 

 cover crop, for which purpose it is well adapted, as it will stand 

 more cold than any other winter legume. It is also valuable 

 for spring pasturage and hay, and when turned under it makes 

 the best green-manure crop that can be grown. The seed may 

 be sown any time from the middle of August until about Octo- 

 ber 1st, either broadcast or drilled, using seed at the rate of one 

 bushel (60 lbs. ) to the acre, and where the crop is to be grown 

 for hay, add one bushel of either Rye, Oats or Wheat to the 

 acre, to help in keeping the vines off the ground, otherwise 

 there will be difficulty in mowing the crop. It is important,to 

 use the genuine Winter Vetch (Vicia villosa) for fall sowing, 

 as other varieties will not stand cold weather. We make a 

 specialty of this seed, and will be pleaded to quote price for 

 any quantity. Write for a copy of our Leaflet on Vetch.

Valuable for hay, but its best use is as a fertilizer, its capac-

SELECTED SEED ^WHEAT 



The wheat we supply has been grown especially for seed, and 



is carefully recleaned. We will be pleased to send samples by 



mail, and also give prices. 



Miracle Wheat (Bearded). A desirable variety, produc- 

 tive and an excellent milling wheat. A remarkable feature 

 is its enormous stooling propensity. See illustration. Single 

 plants often contain as many as 20 to 25 stalks, each with 

 large heads, well filled. The straw is strong and stiff, and 

 holds up well and grows about five feet tall. Because of its 

 heavy growth the plants of Miracle Wheat should be allowed 

 more room to grow than other varieties, and seed should be 

 planted in smaller quantity, using 1 to 1| bushels to an acre. 

 Those who have planted Miracle Wheat have been well 

 pleased with results. Write for price. 



Lancaster Fulcaster [Bearded). Does well on soils of 

 average fertility and especially suited for soils that are thin. 

 It is of the long berry type, grains dark red and hard. It 

 stands up well and makes a good sized head, which is filled 

 with heavy grains. Write for price. 



Improved Fultz Wheat (Beardless). This variety is more 

 widely known in the United States than sny other kind, and 

 probably more acreage is sown than of any other. Grows to 

 a medium height, with stiff, strong straw; ripens early, and 

 seldom fails to make a good crop. Write for price.
