FARM SEEDS 



FOR 



Autumn Sowing. 



TEDE DWAEF ESSEX 



Rape may be sown broadcast at the 

 rate of 6 lbs. per acre, and harrowed in, 

 or I he land may be thoroughly harrowed 

 and the seed sown in drills, 18 to 24 in. 

 apart, at the rate of 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 

 Under favorable conditions it is ready 

 for pasturing sheep or cattle within six 

 weeks from time of sowing, and on an 

 average one acre will carry twelve to 

 fifteen sheep six weeks to two months. 

 In the Northern States it should be sown 



from May to August for fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather, it should 

 not be sown in the Southern States until September or October for winter pasture. Its 

 fattening properties are probably twice as good as those of clover, and for sheep the feeding 

 value of Rape excels all other plants we know of, fattening and putting them in excellent 

 condition for marketing without the addition of grain or other purchased feeds. 12c. lb. ; 

 $9.00 per 100 lbs.
