 PEAS for Fodder and plowing under. 



" Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year 

 than is now purchased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars." — 

 Year-book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



Canada White. 5Cc, peck, $1.20 bushel. 

 Canada t lue. 50c. peck, $1.3o bushel. 

 Large Marrowfat. Of immense growth, $1.40 bushel. 

 The Mummy. 60c. peck, $1.85 bushel. 



Valuable for soiling or fodder, either in mixture with oats or grown by itself. 



Cow Peas. $1.90 bushel, 10 bushel lots, $1.80. 



Of great value in the Southern States and also in the Northern States as a 

 green summer feed for sheep, and as a green crop for plowing under. 



VETCH, SAN L) OR WINTER (Vicia Villosa.) 10c. 

 lb. $1.25 peck. $3.75 bush, of 60 lbs., 100 lbs. $6.00. 



Is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter, 

 •nd should be sown during August and September, mixed with Kye, which 

 serves as a support for the plants, or in spring with oats or barley. 



Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, this is the forage plant to sow in the 

 Northern States where Scarlet Clover winter-kills, though it is equally valua- 

 ble in the South. Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the United States 

 should have a field of it, and if you try it once you will never be a season 

 without it. 



Sow one bushel per acre with one-half bushel of Rye or V* heat. 



VETCH, SPRING. 10c. lb. $2 60 bushel of 60 lbs. 



Generally sown in the mixture with oats for feeding green to cattle, but of value 

 only in the most Northern Stales. 



SUNFLOWER, Large Russian. 10c. lb., $2.00 bush. 



100 lbs. $7.00. 

 BEAN, Soja. $1.00 peck, $3.00 bushel. 



Early Soja. 12c. lb., $1 25 peck, $3.75 but-hel. 



It is a very valuable fodder variety either for feeding green or for the silo. It i» 

 a rich nitrogenous feed, is unsurpassed as a flesh former, and, like the Clo»er 

 is a soil improver, deriving its nittogen Irom the air. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 10c. lb., 100 lbs. $7.00. 



Its fatten ; ng properties are probably twice as good as those of Clover, and for 

 sheep the leedini; value of Rape excels all other plants we know of. Sow 

 6 lbs per acre broadcast, a to 3 lbs. per acre in drills.
