WALTER S. SCHELL'S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET- GARDENERS 
BEARDLESS SPRING BARLEY. Sow 2 bushels to 
the acre. It grows 2 '/i 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. 
SORGHUM, or SUGAR-CANE, Early Amber 
variety. Grows 10 feet high and will stand two or 
three cuttings 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; yi bushel when 
drilled in, making rows about 3 feet apart; sow yi 
bushel, also when sown with cowpeas. A bushel 
weighs 50 pounds. My Sorghum seed is kept pure and 
clean. It is all Amber Sorghum. 
EXTRA-EARLT VELVET BEAN. I urge you to grow 
an acre or more of these if you have never grown them 
before so that you can see their wonderful value as a 
soil-builder. Velvet Beans make two to three times 
as much growth as cowpeas. The beans, when ground 
into meal, make a feed for dairy cows and other 
live-stock almost equal to cottonseed meal. Plant in 
rows 4 to 5 feet apart, dropping two seeds every 12 
to 15 inches. Cultivate them once or twice and then 
let them grow and they will take care of them- 
selves. Velvet Beans turned under are estimated to 
be equal in value to a ton of average commercial 
fertilizer to the acre. Plant one peck (15 pounds) 
to the acre in May or June. They may also be sown 
in the Corn at the last working. 
PEARL imLLET, or PENCILLARLA. No other 
quick-growing crop has made a record for yield of 
green feed as has this. It is known also as the 
"Wonder Plant," and "Cat-tail Millet." The plant 
grows 10 to 12 feet high. If cut when 3 to 4 feet 
high it will stool out wonderfully and may be cut 
two or three times again the same season. On a field 
heavily manured it made 95 tons of green feed per 
acre in a season. No other forage-crop plant has ever 
equaled its record yield. If enough is sown it will 
Pearl Millet, or Pencillaria, continued 
make green feed for your dairy cows all season until 
frost, and if cured makes nutritious hay. All stock 
relish it. Sow the seed in May or June when the soil 
is warm. Sow 10 pounds of seed per acre in rows 3 
feet apart. Pearl Millet will help solve your feed-bill 
problem. Make sure you get the genuine seed. I 
have it. 
BROOM CORN, EVERGREEN. The best variety for 
brooms. Pkt. S cts., pt. 15 cts., qt. 25 cts., 4 qts. 80 cts., 
pk. ii.50, bus. J4. 
COWPEAS 
These are being grown extensively everywhere for 
hay and for improving the soil. Beef and dairy cattle, 
horses, and hogs all like it and it is nearly equal to 
wheat-bran as part of a ration. The vines may be cut 
for green feed or cured as hay for winter feeding. Cow- 
peas adds nitrogen to the soil and a crop plowed under 
puts the land in fine condition for the crop that follows. 
If seeded in corn at the last cultivation, they furnish a 
large amount of pasturage. 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 for while called Cow- 
peas they are really a bean and therefore may rot if 
planted too early when the soil is cold; they may also 
be sown up to the end of July. There are many varieties 
of Cowpeas, but we have found the following are the 
best for the average conditions of Pennsylvania. 
Whip-poor-will. Very early, maturing seed in about 
70 days. Makes a very heavy growth but does not 
trail like the Wonderful. Best for pasture and for 
plowing down. 
Extra-Early Black-Eye. Extra-early, maturing in 
about 60 days. Makes a good growth and besides 
making a valuable hay crop, it is used extensively 
as a soup pea for table use. 
The Wonderful. This makes the greatest growth 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. 
It is very important to sow good seed of strong 
vitality such as I offer. 
Where Do Your Farm Profits Go ? 
You know as well as I — they go for feed! feed! feed! It seems to take every dollar many farmers make 
to pay their feed bills and then that long, hard pull through winter, buying feed all the time. The feed you 
need for your stock you should grow yourself. You can if you grow the feed crops I have been suggesting 
on these farm seed pages. Read them carefully.
