Vetch and Oats Sown Together 
iP^PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE 
VETCHES or TARES 
Vetches are relished by live stock of all kinds; they are excellent for milk-produc¬ 
tion, and their fattening properties are of high order. You may feed them green, or 
as hay or silage. Being legumes, they are the finest possible land-renovators, and they 
are strongly recommended as a plow-under crop to manure the land. For best re¬ 
sults, grow Vetches in combination with oats, wheat, or rye. The cereals support 
the Vetches, keeping them away from the ground, and much increasing the crop. 
SPRING VETCH (Vida saliva). These are highly valuable for soiling or for 
green-manuring. They should be sown as early as the land is dry enough to be 
worked without injury. When sown alone, use 150 pounds per acre broadcast, 
or 100 pounds in drills. If grown with oats, wheat, or rye, use I^bushel of the cereal 
and 75 lbs. of Spring Vetch. Lb. 20c., postpaid, 30c.; 10 lbs. $1.25, 100 lbs. $10. 
WINTER VETCHES—SAND or HAIRY VETCHES (Vida villosa). These are 
suitable for both spring and autumn seeding, and if intended to stand over the 
winter, they should be sown as long before winter as possible to enable them to 
become established firmly. If sown alone, use 100 pounds of seed to the acre, but 
it is best if 50 pounds of Hairy Vetch be sown with ^bushel of oats or other cereals, 
as shown in illustration at left. Lb. 35c., ppd., 45c.; 10 lbs. $2.75, 100 lbs. I20. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
A profitable crop in a variety of ways; if grown to maturity and threshed, a yield 
of from 30 to 60 bushels per acre of dried Peas may be expected. A combined crop of 
Peas and oats may be grown; at maturity they may be threshed at one time and 
separated in cleaning. They are also grown in conjunction with oats and fed green. 
If sown alone, use 3 bushels of seed per acre; when sown with oats, use bushels 
of Peas and 2 bushels of oats, sowing the Peas first, plowing under 4 inches deep and 
then drilling in the oats. Qt. 30 cts., postpaid, 45 cts.; pk. $1.50, bus. (60 lbs.) 
$4.50; 10-bus. lots, $4.25 per bus. 
COWPEAS 
Used for improvement of soils by plowing under; also make 
valuable hay, when sown alone or with soy beans, during May, 
June or July, at the rate of two bushels to the acre or one bushel 
of Soy Beans and one of Cowpeas. 60 pounds to a bushel. 
New Era. The Peas are dull lead-colored, not quite so large as 
Whippoorwill, but vine is somewhat stronger; earlier than other 
varieties. Qt. 25 cts., postpaid, 40 cts.; pk. $1.35, bus. $4. 
Whippoorwill. An early, bunch-growing Pea; has brown- 
speckled seed. Qt. 25 cts., postpaid, 40c.; pk. $1.35, bus. $4. 
SOY BEANS 
Sown in rows feet apart, 6 to 8 plants to the foot requiring 
four to eight pecks to the acre; they yield fifteen or more tons of 
fodder. Valuable also as a plow-under crop. 60 pounds to a bus. 
Mammoth Yellow Soy Beans. Ordinarily does not produce 
seed in vicinity of New York but gives a wonderful yield for 
hay, silage, or plowing under. Qt. 25 cts., postpaid, 40 cts.; 
pk. $1.25, bus. $3.75, 10 bus. $35. 
Wilson (Black). Qt. 30 cts., postpaid, 45 cts.; pk. $1.50, bus. 
$4.50; lo-bus. lots, $4.25 per bus. 
INOCULATE THE ABOVE CROPS WITH STIMUGERM 
When ordering be sure to state which crops you wish to inoculate. For vetches, field peas, cowpeas, and soy beans: 1-bus. 
35c., 2-bus. 65c., 5-bus. $1.40. For clovers and alfalfa: V^-bus. size 35c., 1-bus. 65c., 2V^-bus. $1.40. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
This is a superior variety, is more prolific, and yields double 
the weight per acre of other sorts. The grains are nearly twice as 
large and of fine color. This variety is always in demand, millers 
preferring it to all other sorts, and it makes the finest flour. Sow 
about the middle of June, broadcast, i to i bushels to the acre. 
48 pounds to a bushel. Qt. 20 cts., postpaid 35 cts.; pk. 90 
cts., bus. $2.75; 10 bus., $2.50 per bus. 
FLAX or LINSEED 
This crop is grown primarily for the seed for which there is a 
constant demand for pressing for oil and the making of cake and 
meal. Sow 75 pounds of seed per acre. Lb. 20 cts., postpaid, 
30 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.75, 100 lbs. $12.50. 
THOUSAND-HEADED KALE 
An exceedingly valuable food for sheep and lambs. The crop 
may be drilled in in rows 2 feet apart, and the plants hoed to stand 
a foot apart, or occasionally the seeds are sown in a nursery bed 
and the seedlings transplanted. In the first case 8 pounds of 
seed per acre are used, and in the second 4 pounds will be found 
sufficient. Lb. $1.50, postpaid $1.60. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
The true Dwarf Essex Rape is valuable as a fattening food 
for pasturing sheep in autumn and it is relished also by hogs and 
cattle. It is particularly adapted as a “catch-crop,” for it grows 
best late in the season. In the northern states it can be sown at 
any time from May until the end of August, but in the southern 
states it should not be sown until September or October, for 
winter pasture. Its fattening properties are said to be twice as 
good as clover. Sow ten to twelve pounds to the acre broadcast, 
or four to five pounds per acre in drills 15 inches apart. The 
plant grows very vigorously, and feeding can commence about 
two months after the seed is sown. Stock are turned right into 
the standing crop, and the expense of harvesting is avoided. 
Successional seedings will maintain a continuous supply. Lb. 
30 cts., postpaid, 40 cts.; 10 lbs. $2.50, 100 lbs. $15. 
SUNFLOWER, MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
Highly valued as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. It is 
a good egg-producing food. It can be raised cheaper than corn. 
Four pounds of seed will plant an acre. Lb. 35 cts., postpaid, 
45 cts.; 10 lbs. $2.50, 100 lbs. $17.50.
