WALTER S. SCHELLS QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
Forage Crops, continued 
BUCKWHEAT. Sow M bushel with drill or i bushel 
broadcast. Japanese is considered the best variety 
and the flour of it is superior to any other. It ripens 
early. Sow the seed May or June. It is ready to 
harvest Aug. or Sept. Price, bus. (48 lbs.) $2.75. (Post- 
paid, lb. 20 cts., 5 lbs. 75 cts., 10 lbs. $1.25, 20 lbs. 
»2.2S.) 
CANADA FIELD PEAS. Sow I M bushels to the acre. 
It is best to grow it alone, but the most satisfactory 
dairy results come from sowing them with oats, rye, 
or barley. It makes good ensilage and is a valuable 
food, green or dry, for cattle, being very rich in 
milk-producing elements. It is quite hardy. Maybe 
sown early in spring and will be ready to cut in May 
or June. It also makes a valuable hog pasture when 
sown with oats and rape. Price, bus. (60 lbs.) $5.75. 
(Postpaid, lb. 30 cts., 5 lbs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.25, 
20 lbs. J4.)' 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. Sow 3 pounds to the acre if 
drilled in, or 5 pounds if sown broadcast. If drilled 
make the rows 30 inches apart. It may be sown with 
com at last cultivation. One acre of Rape will 
pasture fifteen or twenty hogs or sheep for two 
months. It may be lightly grazed by pigs three or 
four weeks after seeding. When properly seeded, an 
acre of Rape on good land will produce as much 
pork when used as a hog pasture as the same area of 
land cultivated in corn. For pasturage an acre will 
supply many tons of the most nutritious feed. Al- 
ways allow the Rape to grow 10 to 12 inches before 
turning hogs in the field. It is positively the best 
green feed for hogs and for fattening lambs. 
Thin land should first be manured before sowing 
Rape. I urge you to sow Dwarf Esse.x Rape, for the 
cost is very little and the profit large. One of the 
large hog-raisers in America, with the largest pure- 
bred Chester White herd, sows 500 acres of Rape 
every year. It pays him big profits — why not you? 
Sow, also, with oats, or Canada field peas (i bushel 
of either with 4 pounds of Rape). Take no chances 
on unknown seed — make sure of your crop by always 
sowing Schell's Quality Dwarf Essex Rape seed. Can 
be sown from March 15 to the end of August. Price, 
bus. (50 lbs.) S5.50. (Postpaid, lb. 30 cts., 5 lbs. $1.25, 
10 lbs. $2.25, 20 lbs. 13.75.) 
HAIRY VETCH. Sow 40 pounds of seed to the acre 
when sown alone or 20 pounds per acre when seeded 
with rye. Hairy Vetch is a winter-grown forage crop 
and is usually sown with rye or other fall grain. 
The hay it produces compares in quality with alfalfa 
and it makes a good late fall or early spring pasture 
crop for horses, cattle, and hogs, and poultry also 
like it. It is a very hardy perennial, drops its seeds 
freely, and will come up year after year on the same 
ground. Hairy Vetch will improve soil wonderfully 
when plowed under. Be very sure to sow good seed 
of strong vitality, such as I will supply you with. 
Price, bus. (60 lbs.) $8.6o. (Postpaid, lb. 30 cts., 
S lbs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.25, 20 lbs. I4.)

PEANUTS, MAMMOTH BUSH. Very large; easy to 
grow, producing a fine crop in 100 days. They like 
a sandy soil. Postpaid, large pkt. 15 ct.s., lb. 80 cts. 
SUDAN GRASS. Sow 20 pounds per acre broadcast 
or drill it in. Sowing this quantity makes the best 
quality hay, which is relished by all stock because of 
its sweet flavor. It is very easy to grow and is one 
of the few crops that will grow during dry weather. 
Sow the seed only after all danger of frost is past and 
when the ground is thoroughly warm. As a crop to 
plant late, it may take the place of millet and it is 
likely to give you a much heavier crop of hay. The 
hay should be cut when it is in full bloom. Two or 
three crops may sometimes be cut the same season. 
Sudan Grass makes an excellent silage when mixed 
with other legumes. Make sure that you sow Schell's 
Quality seed. Reliable seed is of the utmost impor- 
tance. The plants grow 6 to 7 feet high and mature a 
crop in 65 days. Prices, postpaid, lb. 20 eta., s lbs. 
75 cts., 10 lbs. $1.35. 20 lbs. $2.40. 
BEARDLESS SPRING BARLEY. Sow 2 bushels to 
the acre. It grows 2yi feet high and grows fast and 
this makes an excellent and nutritious green feed, 
early in the spring. It also makes a profitable grain 
crop. To cure for hay, cut it while the grain is in the 
milk state. Sow any time in spring when soil is warm 
and can be put in good seeding condition. 
FALL BARLEY. Either variety. Price, bus. (48 lbs.) 
$3. (Postpaid, lb. 20 cts., 5 lbs. 85 cts., 10 lbs. $i.6o.) 
SORGHUM, or Sugar-Cane, Early Amber variety. 
Grows 10 feet high and will stand two or three cut- 
tings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. 
The plant is filled with rich, sugary sap and when fed 
alone or mixed with other feeds it makes a most 
nutritious feed and is liked by all stock. Very 
valuable for green feed, for the silo or when cured. 
Sow I bushel to the acre broadcast; ]/i bushel when 
drilled in, making rows about 3 feet apart; sow % 
bushel, also when sown with cowpeas. My Sorghum 
seed is kept pure and clean. It is all Amber Sorghum.

COWPEAS 
Sow I bushel to the acre broadcast or Kbushel drilled 
in rows about 30 inches apart; sow in May or June 
depending on whether the soil is warm enough to plant 
them; they may also be sown up to the end of July. 
The following are the best for Pennsylvania.

about 70 days. Makes a very heavy growth but does 
not trail like the Wonderful. Best for pasture.

of all. The plants first make an upright growth then 
spread and their vines grow 10 to 12 feet long. Makes 
a mammoth hay crop and matures in about 90 days.

SOY BEANS (Soja Beans)
