FORAGE AND SILO SEEDS. 



FOR TEARS we have taken special care In the selection of the various 

 sorts of Grass and Clover Seeds for field culture, and in consequence 

 our trade in this line has rapidly increased. 

 Purity of stock and high germinating quality we consider essential. 

 As we handle very large quantities of these seeds, we are enabled to 

 supply the best quality at lowest prices.

 Prices on application. 



BLACK COW PEA. — It is a splendid land improver and most valuable 

 as a forage crop, making an enormous yield of rich, nutritious feed. Sow 

 in May or June at the rate of one bushel per acre for seed, or 2 bushels for 

 soiling.

 a good price on our market.

 green longer than other varieties; pods ripen earlier. 



WONDERFUL, OR UNKNOWN. — This makes an enormous and re- 

 markable 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. 



CANADA 

 FIELD PEAS. 



Sown in February, March 

 or April, with a small quan- 

 tity of oats, they make a
