FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS 



SHOULD BE SOWN IN THIS LATITUDE, NOT BEFORE MAY 15th. AS 

 THE SEIEa) WILL. NOT STAND COOL, WET WEATHER. 



COW PEAS 



The great soil enricher. Makes poor land rich and good land better They also 

 make good green forage for ensilage, and the best quality of Hay when cut and cured. 



The sowing of COW PEAS is one of the cheapest as well as the best means of im- 

 provmg the soil. They can be turned down for green manuring, or, if allowed to ripen 

 cut Peas off and cure for hay; turn down roots, which will give as good results as when 

 whole plant is used. For ensilage they are unsurpassed, being more nutritious than 

 green corn, but when used for this purpose, would advise sowing Sugar Cane or Sor- 

 ghum in connection with them. The two combined will make one of the very richest 

 feeds. Ask for prices. 



BLACK — This is the standard variety, and the one most largely grown in this 

 immediate section. It is very prolific, makes a fine growth, both of vine and leaves 

 and a good yield of peas. It is a splendid land improver, and most valuable as a forage 

 crop, and makes an enormous yield of rich, nutritious feed. 



WHIPPORWILL — A favorite, early, upright-growing variety, more largely used 

 and sold than any other kind. Has brown speckled seed, which are easily gathen d 

 Makes a good growth of vine, which can be easily cut and cured as dry forage. Wo 

 recommend this where an early variety of good growth and height is desired. 



WONDERFUL, OR UNKNOWN— This makes an enormous and remarkable 

 growth of vines, but requires the full growing season to make Its crop. In yield and 

 growth of vines it surpasses any of the varieties of Cow Peas, and it produces very 

 largely of the shelled peas. This variety should be planted in May in order to come 

 to full maturity. 



COW PEAS 



NEW ERA — An early maturing variety which has proved very popular and satisfactory. It is upright 

 growing, quick to mature, and remarkably prolific of peas. Rather small vine, which cures easily, making 

 splendid dry forage. The seed are smaller in size than the ordinary cow pea, so that it does not require 

 as many to seed an acre; from three-fturths to one bushel per acre will give ample seeding. PRICES ON 

 APPLICATION. 



SORGHUM, OR SUGAR CANE, FOR FODDER 



EARLY AMBER grows 10 to 12 feet high, and yields large crops of fodder, which is relished by all 

 kinds of stock. It will produce two cuttings during the summer. Sow 3 or 4 quarts per acre in drills and 

 cultivate same as corn. For hay, sow one bushel per acre broadcast. Pound, 10c. Peck, . 



EARLY ORANGE has a large, strong growth, but requires longer time to mature than the Early Amber. 

 Very pojlular iii the South, where there are long seasons. Prices same as Early Amber. 



SOJA BEANS 



The great drought-resisting forage crop; unsurpassed in nutritive value for feeding; also makes a splendid 

 soil improver. Sow broadcast one-half bushel to the acre, or it may be planted in drills three feet apart 

 and one foot between plants. Price on application. 



MAMMOTH YELLOW SOJAS 



The largest-growing and most popular of soja beans for forage purposes. A little later in maturity than 

 other kinds, but makes larger yields, both of forage and seed. Especially valuable for the South. 



HOLLYBROOK 

 EARLY SOJAS 



Makes a quicker growth and matures their crop 

 two to three weeks earlier than the mammoth Yellow 

 Soja. It makes a large yield, both of forage and 

 peas, and the added advantage of its earliness makes 

 it a most distinct and valuable acquisition. It is a 

 sure cropper and a vigorous, quick-growing variety. 

 Sown as a forage or hay crop, it is much easier to 

 cure and handle, and makes even a more nutritious 

 crop than cow-peas. 



WILSON 

 BLACK SOJAS 



One of the best, in our opinion, for the Northern 

 States, where a quick, early variety is desired. 

 Average height on good land is 2J-2 to 3 feet. A 

 prolific variety, and requires about 90 days to be 

 ready to cut for hay. 



KAFFIR CORN 



The heads contain small white seeds, which make 

 an excellent flour. They are greedily eaten by horses 

 and cattle, and make fine feed for poultry, either 

 fed in the grain or ground and cooked. Use 4 to 5 

 lbs. to acre.
