ALFALFA, or LUCERNE (Medicago sativa). Re- 

 quires deep, rich, well-drained soil. The tap- 

 root descends often to a depth of 10 to 15 feet in 

 loose soil. It is, consequently, capable of resisting 

 great droughts. It should be sown alone (about 

 same time as oats are sown in this section) in thor- 

 oughly prepared, deeply plowed soil, at the rate of 

 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. It nuiy also be sown 

 as late as August and up to the middle of September 

 in more southerly localities. The crop should be 

 cut when the plant is coming into bloom. In suit- 

 able soil it is perennial, and several crops may be 

 cut every year. Height, 1 to 3 feet. Lb. 20c., 10 

 lbs. $1.50, 100 lbs. $12.50. 



ALSIKE, or HYBRID (Tiifolium hybridum). A

 stiff soils, and in marshy lands which are too wet for 

 other species. It giows well, too, in high altitudes.

 acre. Lb. 25c., 10 lbs. $2.25, 100 lbs. $18.00.

 new and lighter ones. Lb. 25c., 10 lbs. $2.25., 100

GENERAL FARM SEEDS 



All below subject to change in price.

 and long; enormous yielder. Splendid for stock, 

 lb. 20c., lb. 60c.

 riety, valuable for stock. 34 lb. 20c., lb. 60c. 



KAFFIR CORN. Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 

 White. Excellent fodder plant; grain valuable for 

 feeding poultry. Lb. 5c., 100 lbs. $3.00.

 Makes an enormous yield of nutritious food ; succeeds 

 in almost any soil. Sow in May or June, 1 bushel 

 to the acre. Lb. 5c., bus. of about 50 lbs. $1.50. 



OATS, White Spring. Handsome and perfect White 

 Oats; early and an enormous cropper. It will do 

 well on any good farm land and prove very profitable. 

 The straw is long, very strong and holds up well. 

 The heads are large and well filled. Pk. 25c., bus. 

 (32 pounds) 75c, 5 bus. or over, 70c. per bus. 



PEAS, Canada Field. Valuable for cattle feeding, 

 especially for milch cows. Also makes ensilage of 

 fine quality. Usually sown with Oats broadcast 

 and harrowed in. Pk. 60c., bus. $2.00. 



PEAS, COW. Each year we find that the demand for 

 Cow Peas increases, as the farmers find that there 

 is great value as a soil enricher also when cut 

 green. It makes excellent hay when cut and cured 

 the same as Clover, then the stubble with the new 

 growth may be turned under as fertilizer. If Kaffir 

 Corn is sown with the Cow Peas it holds the vines off 

 the ground, causing a better growth. The plant is 

 a legume and through the agency of nitrogen pro- 

 duces bacteria on its roots, adding to the growth 

 and full plants.

RAPE, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of highest 

 value. It can be sown in April for an early crop, 

 and for Fall crop in July,. August and September, 

 and still later farther south; it is sown broadcast 

 10 pounds to the acre, but it is better drilled, in which 

 case 5 pounds to the acre will suffice. In a few weeks 

 from the time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be 

 turned upon it; all reports agree that they gain weight 

 faster on this than any other fodder, and a? it can be 

 sown after other crops are off, the gain in fodder is 

 secured at a nominal cost. Stockmen, dairymen and 

 farmers have proved its value. Lb. 10c. , 50 lbs. 

 $4.00. 



RYE, Winter. This should be sown in the Fall early 

 enough to get a start and will stand out New England

 excellent and cheap food for fowls. All farmers 

 should plant this, if only for feeding chickens. It is. 

 enormously productive of seed, as the heads giow to 

 a large sile, sometirnes measuring as much as 1& 

 inches in diameter. Plant 4 quarts to acre. Lb. 

 lOc, bus. (25 pounds) $2.00.
