BLUE STEM OR PUEPLS STRAW 

 WHEAT. — Is a favorite among the ~ 



ers of the South. It's a fine, rather 

 early, productive, beardless variety of 



t, a standard in this section. It has 

 always been a rather early variety, but the 

 strain we are now handling ripens from a 

 week to ten days ahead of the old strain.

 sire to cut it when "'in dough" makes a 

 splendid hay crop. Planted from Septem- 

 ber to December. 2 bushels per acre.

 $5.00, not prepaid. Write for quantity

 been able to see where this variety was 

 any earlier and better than the Blue Stem, 

 although many prefer it to that variety, 

 claiming great earliness. It's a standard 

 variety and a great favorite in the S'tate of 

 Tennessee. Planted from September to 

 December. 2 bushels per acre. Price, lb., 

 20c, postpaid; pk., $1.50; bu., $4.50, not

KUDZU. — A leguminous vine somewhat 

 resembling the "Velvet Bean in appearance, 

 but it is perennial and comes from the 

 root each Spring and makes as much 

 growth by about the first of May as the 

 Velvet Bean makes in an entire season, 

 and that without fertilizer of any kind. 



Kudzu may be cut from two to four 

 times during the season, or pastured, when 

 the growth gets high, and yields from one 

 to three tons of dry hay at a cutting.

 paid _ 6.00

WILD RICE. — The natural time for sow- 

 ing is in the Spring, although seed can be 

 sown any time. The seed should be first 

 thoroughly soaked in water so that it will 

 sink into the desired situation. It may be 

 sown in shallow' water, not over three 

 feet deep, and from this depth into the 

 shore. A still day should be chosen for 

 sowing so that it will not drift into too 

 deep water. Wild Rice is unequalled as 

 an attraction for wild fowl, and for this 

 reason is in great demand for planting in 

 uame preserves and small lakes by gun 

 rlubs and owners of private estates in 

 this country and Europe. Sow 14 or 20 

 pounds to the acre. V4 lb., 20c; lb., 60c, 

 postpaid; 10 lbs., S5.00, not prepaid.

 ably well; the grain is much larger and has 

 a thinner hull than Silver Hull. Recom- 

 mended especially for well drained or 

 sandy land and the dry climate of the 

 Western Plains. One bushel to the acre.

 paid; y 2 bu., $4.00; bu., $7.25, not prepaid. 



Vetch. 



HAIRY, WINTER OR SAND VETCH.— 



Planted from August to November or in 

 early Spring, with small amounts of rye. 

 oats, wheat or barley, for a support after 

 it begins to run, vetch makes a magnificent 

 hay crop in spring, coming in ahead of 

 everything else except thoroughly estab- 

 lished fields of alfalfa, and at the same 

 time leaves added fertility to the soil. 

 Crops like Vetch make possible profitable 

 live stock growing which in turn means 

 prosperity on Southern farms. 30 to 40 

 pounds per acre during October and Nov- 

 ember. Price, lb., 40c, postpaid; y 2 bu., 

 $8.00; bu., $15.00, not prepaid.

 ten pounds to the acre. Has given splendid 

 results in t lie South. It is an ideal -

 quantities of fresh, green, juicy feed dur- 

 ing the hottest weather. It also keeps 

 green during the winter. The seed may 

 be sown at any time during the fall or 

 early spring. Germinates slowly and re- 

 quires from three to four weeks of warm, 

 moist weather to sprout. Plant from Nov-
