FOR 



Autumn Sowing. 



TRUE DW A RF ESSEX 



English Rape. 



Rape may be sown broadcast at the 

 rate of 6 lbs. per acre and harrowed in 

 or the 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 mouths. 

 In the Northern States it shoul I 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 uuti 

 September or Octoberfor winter pasture. Its fattening properties are probably twice as 

 goo! 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. 10c. lb. ; $3.00 per 100 lb. 



New Hardy Forage Plant, SAND or WINTER VETCH. 



Succeeds on poor sandy soils, grows to a height of three or four feet and seems proof against both heat and cold and when sown in fall yields 

 a crop early the following spring. If cut when in bloom it will yield a second crop which may be allowed to seed if desired. Sow half a bushel 

 to a bushel per acre with one half bushel Rye or Wheat for support. 10c. lb., $4.00 bushel of 6) lbs., $(5.00 per 100 lbs.
