FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS 



SHOUIiD BE SOWN IN THIS LATITUDE, NOT BErOBi: MAY 15th, AS 

 THE SEED WIIiIi NOT STAND COOIi, WET WEATHER. 



COW PEAS 



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. 



Tlie sowing of COW FEAS is one of the cheapest as well as the best means of 

 improving 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 ensilagf they ;ire unsurpassed, 

 being more nutritious than green corn, but when used for this purpose, would 

 advise sowing Sugar Cane or Sorghum in connection with them. The two com- 

 bined will make one of the very richest feeds. Ask lor prices. 



BIiACK — 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 valu- 

 able as a forage crop, and makes an enormous yield of rich, nutritious feed. 



WHIPPOOBWllil — A favorite, early, upright-growing variety, more largely 

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

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

 dry forage. We recommend this where an early variety of good growth and 

 height is desired. 



WONDEBFtr^, OB 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 pro- 

 duces very largely of the shelled peas. This variety should be planted in May 

 in order to come to full maturity. 

 NEW EBA — An early maturing variety which has proved very popular and satisfactory. Tt is 

 upriglit 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-fourths to one bushel per 

 acre will give ample seeding. PBICES ON AFFZ.ICATION. 



SORGriUM, OR SUGAR CANE 



EABIiY AMBEB grows 10 to 12 feet high, and yields larg'e 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. Found, lOc. 

 ' Feck, 50c. 



EABIiY OBANG-E has a large, strong growth, but requires longer time to mature than the Early 

 Ainl)er. Very popular in the South, where there are long seasons. Frices same as Early Amlier. 



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 bet-yveen plants. Price on application. 



MAMMOTH YELLOW SOJAS 



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

 i Ity than other kinds, but malves larger yields, both of forage and seed. Especially valuable for 

 I 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 for- 

 age and peas, and the added advantage of its earli- 

 ness makes it a most distinct and valuable acqui- 

 sition. 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 North- 

 ern States, where a quick, early variety is de- 

 sired. Average height on good land is to 3 

 feet. A very 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 poul- 

 try, either fed in the grain or ground and cooked. 

 T^^se 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. Frice, Found, 10c. Ten 

 Founds, 50c.
