 profitably used as fuel. Three pounds of 

 seed will plant one acre. Packet, 10c; lb.,

BENE. — A tall annual herb, sometimes 

 3 to 4 feet in height, producing flowers 

 followed by seed pods, which shatter after 

 ripening, and the seeds — of an oily nature 

 — are produced in great profusion, and 

 much relished by poultry. The oil from 

 the seed is sweet, and is sometimes used 

 for culinary purposes, like olive oil, and 

 the parched seeds are used in confection- 

 ery. It is, however, as a crop to attract 

 and sustain wild birds, particularly quail 

 and partridges, that we chiefly recommend 

 it. The seed is drilled in rows 3 feet 

 apart, as soon as danger of frost is over. 

 Five pounds of seed is sown to the acre. 

 Plant during March and April. Price, ^ 

 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25, postpaid.
