CLEANED BEGGAR^r " ^ ? 
The standard hay crop in Florida and sant ■ -. 
lower South. Where grown thickly it makes tinett A 
of nutritious hay, sweet and tender, stock leaving coii 
oats for it. It is an annual plant coming from seed n 
year. For hay, cut when it comes into bloom. A second 
growth then springs up which produces seed, thus seeding 
the ground for the next year. For succe.ssful germination 
soil and air should be warm and moist, hence early sowing 
is not advisable. Wait until the ground gets warm. Grows 
well on sandy soil. Everyone in the South with sandy soil 
should give Beggarweed a trial. It is one of the most valu¬ 
able plants the South h.as for sandy soils. Cleaned Seed—

Most people have the idea that 
-B-VJ-ljt; rice can only be g r o w n on 
swampy lands or under irrigation. This is not true. Any 
ground that has a reasonable amount ot moisture will grow 
our Upland Rice. It’s a valuable crop, making from 40 to 
60 bushels per acre. Try a patch this year. Pound, post¬ 
paid, 26 cents. Peck, not prepaid, 7.5 cents; bushel, 82.75. 
TWO HEADS OF OUR “OLD TIME” CHICKEN CORN 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
W'e used to consider this as strictly a 
plant to sow in the fall for winter green 
feed and pasture, but in recent 
years there is not a month in 
year that it is not ordered. It 
furnishes rich, nutritious pas 
turage and green feed within 6 
or 7 weeks of sowing. Fatten¬ 
ing qualitieu of rape are con¬ 
sidered much superior to clover. 
We would not advise sowing 
rape from May to August but it 
can be sown profitably any time 
from September to March. Lb., 
postpaid, 25c.; 10-lb., lots orover, 
not prepaid, 10c. per lb. 
Japanese Buckwheat 
Buckwheat should be more 
generally grown in the South 
for a poultry feed, and in the 
Japanese we have a variety well 
adapted to this section. It can 
be sown in either early spring 
or late summer and matures In 
about two months. Lb., post- 
aid, 2.5c.: pit-, not prepaid,60c.: 
u., 82.00. 
SPRING OATS 
We can usually supply Burt 
and Texas Rust-Proof Oats 
during the spring montho. 
Ask for prices.
