Wild Rice 



Zizania An annual which sows itself in the fall, about 

 Aquatica. the middle of September, lies dormant all 

 winter, and in spring commences to sprout as 

 soon as the water gets warm, reaching the surface during the first half of June. It grows 

 very rapidly in one to eight feet of water, ripens late in August or early in September. 

 It should be sown in the fall, before ice forms, broadcast from a boat, in two or three feet 

 of water, having a mud bottom. It has been successfully planted through the ice in 

 winter and in the spring, but it succeeds best when planted in the fall. 



As an attraction for wild fowl it cannot be equaled. In large ponds and lakes it 

 purifies the water, affords a refuge from the large fish for the small fry, as well as 

 furnishing them plenty of food from the animalculse upon its stalks ; for planting in fish 

 ponds it is especially desirable. It also does well along the shores of marshes, and makes 

 a good hay. In the south two crops can be cut. All cattle are very fond of it. Per

Crimson Clover 



{Crimson Trefoil, or Scarlet Italian). 

 An annual variety of Clover of inestima- 

 ble value wherever it can be grown. 

 Although not perfectly hardy, it does well in sheltered situations as far north as ]\Iichi- 

 gan, while farther south it stands the winter admirably. It yields an enormous quantity 

 of forage, and when cut, immediately starts into a new growth. To plow under for 

 green manuring it has no equal. Sow in August or September, using 10 to 15 lbs. of 

 seed to the acre. Lb. 2^ ce?its, postpaid. Per loo Lbs. $8.00, by freight or express 

 at purchaser' s expense.
