O A 13 C DWARF ESSEX. 



■^ J^ r^ C A Most Profitable Forage Plant 



We can think of no simple change which would do more to increase the profitableness 

 of American farming than a more general use of Dwarf Essex Rape. It is an inexpen- 

 sive crop, costing but little for seed or cultivation, is ver}- hardy, can be made to take the 

 place of some crop that has failed, and will yield an immense amount of forage, or it can 

 be sown after harvest as a cover crop, and when fed oE by stock, particularly by sheep, 

 will rapidly restore the fertility of exhausted soils. It is important that the true bien- 

 nial Dwarf Essex Rape should be used and not the annual sort, which is not only much 

 less valuable as a crop, but which when once introduced becomes a pernicious weed 

 very difficult to eradicate. Sow broadcast on well prepared soil, using about 5 lbs. seed 

 per acre. X -^^- ^o cents; Lb. 23 cents, postpaid. 10 Lbs. Si.oo; Pe?' 100 Lbs. $8-00, 

 by freight or express, at purchaser's expense.

TURNIP — In our northern climate, Ruta Bagas, or Swedes, are sown from about the 20th of June to the 15th 

 of July, requiring a longer season to mature than Turnips, which are sown from the middle of July to the 

 last of August. In the southern states they can be sown much later, as they remain green all winter, and 

 will endure considerable frost. Two pounds of seed broadcast, or one pound in drills, is about the quantity 

 to sow per acre. Drill sowing is much to be preferred.
