Dwarf Essex Rape. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE 



This crop is very highly recommended for pasturage for sheep 

 and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutritious pasturage within 

 six to eight weeks from the time of sowing. The fattening 

 properties of Rape are said to be very much better than those 

 of clover. Sow three to five pounds per acre in drills ; six to 

 eight pounds per acre broadcast. 



SOY, or SOJA BEANS 



WILSON EARLY BLACK— A very prolific variety, and one 

 of the best where a quick, early variety is desired. Average 

 height on good land is about three feet. 



VIRGINIA — On account of its abundant growth and large 

 yield of beans the Virginia makes most excellent hay and 

 ensilage. As it is about 20 days earlier than Mammoth Yellow, 

 it can be grown further North and throughout the corn belt. 



TAR HEEL BLACK— About ten days earlier than Mammoth 

 Yellow and makes almost as tall a growth. The vines stand 

 upright, are not coarse and are well filled with pods. Fully equal 

 to any medium early variety for hay and seed production. 

 Makes a growth of 2>y 2 to 4 feet; branches close to the ground; 

 has medium thick stalk and abundant foliage. 



MAMMOTH YELLOW— The latest, yet the most extensively 

 grown for both beans and forage, both of which it yields in 

 great abundance. It grows more than 3 feet high ; is erect in 

 growth. 



Wheat 



LEAP'S PROLIFIC— A splendid new variety, originating in 

 the Shenandoah Valley. It is remarkable for its productiveness 

 and fine quality of grain. The grain is flintier and of better 

 milling qualities than the ordinary varieties. It is very uniform 

 in its growth, stiff-strawed, healthy, strong grower and early to 

 ripen. One thing particularly noticeable about this variety is its 

 stooling qualities, it being particularly superior in this respect, 

 producing more stalks to plant than the ordinary wheat. 



Selected Seed Corns 



We had the longest drought ever known to the old- 

 est inhabitant in this section, making a shortage in 

 all varieties of field corn. It would be wise to order 

 your requirements as early as possible, as good seed 

 corn will be hard to procure. 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE— A large-eared variety of White 

 Corn. It has deep, soft and very white grains ; it is a vigorous 

 grower and has become very popular, and has probably taken 

 more premiums than any other variety of corn for the last 

 few years. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY— A broad-grained, large-eared variety, 

 maturing in about 120 days ; cob is small ; grain very heavy 

 and of a beautiful golden-yellow color. 



EUREKA ENSILAGE— This variety is bred from the 

 Cocke's Prolific. The ears are much larger and longer, but 

 not as many to the stalk. The ears run from 9 to 12 inches long. 

 It is a rather hard, pure white variety, and makes excellent 

 meal. Is especially adapted to rich low grounds, and is one of 

 the most valuable ensilage varieties. 



PAMUNKEY ENSILAGE— Our Pamunkey Ensilage Corn is 

 bred for height of stalk, breadth and thickness of foliage, as well 

 as size and number of ears. It is of strong and vigorous growth,, 

 attaining a height of 13 to IS feet, yields an unsually heavy 

 growth of fodder and usually bears two ears to the stalk. The 

 ears are 10 to 12 inches long, 2% to 2J^ inches in diameter, 

 with a good depth of grain.
