1155—AUGUSTA, OR SPRING VETCH—Has become very popular in the central 
South within the past few years. Used as green feed and hay. Must be sown 
in early spring. When sown at this time with oats, it will produce a good crop of 
hay two weeks earlier than fall-sown Vetch. Very productive and highly nutri¬ 
tious. Handle similar to Canada Field Peas. Spring Vetch is superior to peas. 
Makes a greater growth of vine, takes less seed per acre. Sow 40 to 50 pounds 
per acre with about 1 bushel of oats. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.60 
1176—HAIRY, OR SAND VETCH—The hardiest vetch. Fine for hay, grazing and 
improving land. Grows well on all soils and surprisingly well on poor, thin 
land, and will stand extremes of drouth, heat and cold. The yield of hay is 
really wonderful, as many as twenty long vines growing from a single root. It 
may also be sown in the fall to make hay about the end of May, for an excellent 
pasture or to prevent the leaching of plant food from the land by the winter 
rains. It never winter kills. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.70 
1265—BUCHANAN’S ABRUZZI RYE—If sown on good land in September it will 
be ready for grazing in about six weeks, and will furnish grazing for several 
months if not grazed too close. Unless wanted for grazing, do not sow as early 
as September, as it may go to seed during the winter or early spring; late 
October or early November is early enough to sow for a grain crop. 
5 lbs., 55c; peck, $1.50; 14 bu., $2.75 
Abruzzi Rye 
1266 _MICHIGAN ROSEN RYE—Makes a splendid cover crop, and when grown 
on land to which it is suited, makes heavy grain head on thick, stiff straw about 
5 feet high. It is fine for grazing, although the spring growth is not as early as 
Abruzzi, nor is the straw as long. 5 lbs., 50c; peck, $1.40; 14 bu., $2.60 
1267 _SOUTHERN RYE—I have sold Southern or Common White Rye for 30 
years, and while there is no special comment to make on same, there is more 
of it sown than all other varieties combined. It is cheaper in price and can be 
sown from August 15 to December 15 for grazing. Sow about 2 bushels to acre. 
5 lbs., 45c; peck, $1.35; 14 bu., $2.50 
1063—DWARF ESSEX RAPE—To those of our customers who are not familiar 
with Rape, we will say that it grows somewhat like a cabbage plant before the 
cabbage begins to head up; however, the Rape makes a larger plant, often 18 
inches to 2 feet high. Under favorable weather conditions and on good soil, Rape 
will produce from 10 to 25 tons of green forage per acre. It can be sown in 
the fall, as it stands our winters without killing; it can also be sown in the spung 
with good results. Sow in drills at the rate of 5 to 8 pounds per acre. 
5 Pkt. 10c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.35 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
1250—AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS—Disk about 25 to 30 pounds 
per acre about 2 inches deep in cotton middles for green 
manure. If sown for hay it is best to mix 25 pounds of peas 
with 1 bushel oats—oats hold the peas up to be cut. 
Austrian Peas when used for soil improvement should be 
turned under the first half of March. When used for hay 
they are ready about the same time as oats planted the 
same time. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 95c; 10 lbs., $1.75 
1258—FULTZ—A smooth-head wheat, sown in the South for 
grazing green hay, and in some sections threshed and 
ground for flour. 5 lbs., 50c; peck, 95c; 14 bu., $1.75 
1260—RED MAY—Beardless or smooth-head, sown mostly in 
the South for grazing and to cut green for hay in spring. 
5 lbs., 50c; peck, 95c; 14 bu., $1.75 
1263— BEARDLESS WINTER BARLEY—It makes a quick- 
growing crop of most excellent and nutritious feed, either to 
use green or to cure as hay. Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
5 lbs., 50c; peck, 95c ; 14 bu., $1.75 
1262—BEARDED WINTER BARLEY—Best for fall sowing; 
in fact, makes the finest winter pasture and should be 
more generally used. 5 lbs., 50c; peck, 95c; 14 bu., $1.75 
1264— BROOM CORN (Dwarf)—Sow in May, about 10 pounds 
per acre, in drills 3 feet apart. Plants should be thinned 
out to stand 3 inches apart in the row. 
Large pkt., 10c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.15; 10 lbs., $1.95 
1269—BUCKWHEAT (Silver Hull)—The grain of this type is 
plump and silvery gray. The crop continues to bloom longer 
than common buckwheat and therefore is larger. Sow broad¬ 
cast, 50 pounds to the acre. 
Large pkt., 10c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 95c; 10 lbs., $1.60 
1268—SUNFLOWER (Mammoth Russian)—Sow 10 lbs. per 
acre in drills 3 feet apart, dropping seed about every 4 inches. 
Large pkt., 10c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 95c; 10 lbs., $1.75 
Oats packed 5 bushels (160 lbs.) to bag; sow 60 to 90 lbs. 
to acre alone; with Vetch, 32 lbs. Oats and 30 lbs. Vetch. 
1275— APPLER OATS—Are equally well adapted for sowing 
both in the spring and fall. 
Peck, 60c; 14 bu., 95c ; 1 bu., $1.50 
1276— EARLY BURT OATS (90 Days)—Sow in February, 
March and April, 15 days earlier than any other spring oats; 
free from rust; healthy, and makes a remarkably good yield 
of clean, bright, heavy grain. 
Peck, 60c; 14 bu., 95c ; 1 bu., $1.50 
1277— CLAY OATS—Very similar to the Early Burt Oats in 
every way; for spring planting only. 
Peck, 60c; 14 bu., 95c; 1 bu., $1.50 
1278— TURF OATS—Often called Winter Turf because they 
stand the winter better than any other oat that you can 
sow in the fall. Sow at the rate of 2 bushels per acre. 
Peck, 60c; 14 bu., 95c; 1 bu., $1.50 
1279— FULGHUM OATS—This oat has been very popular 
for six years. It is of the rust-proof type, earlier than either 
Appier or Red Rust Proof, and a heavier yielder. 
Peck, 60c; 14 bu., 95c; 1 bu., $1.50 
1280— RED RUST PROOF—This variety is very hardy, pro¬ 
ducing a medium tall, stiff straw and a heavy yield of grain 
or hay. The stock which we offer is exceptionally heavy, 
bright, re-cleaned and graded. 
Peck, 60c; 14 bu., 95c; 1 bu., $1.50
