Miscellaneous Seeds 
Flax may be grown with good success in theWest. It matures 
quickly and may be planted as late as the middle of June 
and make a matured crop. Takes very little fertility and 
moisture from the soil and yields 10 to 20 bushels per acre. 
May be used with success as a nurse crop for clovers and 
grasses, and is the most desirable crop to follow on native 
sod. Formaldehyde will destroy wilt germs and the seed 
should be so treated before planting. We will be able to 
furnish pedigreed registered Bison and also non-pedigreed 
or Common Flax. Prices on request. 
Dwarf Essex Rape is a forage plant of highest value. It 
can be sown in April for early crop, and for fall crop in 
July, August, and September. It is used as a catch crop, 
also for summer pasture for hogs and cattle. Prices: 1 lb., 
15c; 5 lbs., 65c; 10 lbs., #1.20. 
Buckwheat does best where the climate is moist and cool, 
but it is sensitive to cold. It is a short season, early-matur- 
ing crop. It can be sown quite late. It is a good crop for 
poor, thin land, and does well on acid soils. It is used as 
a soilage crop. We offer Japanese and Silver Hull varieties.

Peanuts can be successfully grown in almost any place 
where corn succeeds, but thrive best on light sandy soil. 
The vines are valuable feed for horses, cattle, and sheep. 
One acre will produce from 1 to 2 tons of vines. As nuts are 
relished by nearly everyone, it might be quite a happy ex- 
perience to grow at least a small plot for home consumption.

also Spanish varieties. Prices by mail postpaid: Large pkg.,

Sand, Winter, or Hairy Vetch is a mighty fine crop to 
sow in the fall as soon as the crops have been harvested. It 
has also been sown in the spring. Vetch is a legume plant 
like alfalfa and peas. It produces hay of high protein value 
and is also a good soilage crop; also introduces nitrogen 
into the soil the same as alfalfa and clovers. Prices will be 
given on our Special Field Seed Price List. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
85c; 10 lbs., #1.50.

Colorado Stock or San Luis Valley Field Peas are 
valuable for their grain and straw. They provide good 
forage and hay and are valuable as a soilage crop. They are

may be sown at the rate of 100 pounds per acre and as late 
as July. Prices postpaid: 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c.

Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow, are excellent as a summer catch 
crop and splendid soil builders. Soybean hay is one of the 
best roughages, and when mixed with corn they make splen¬ 
did ensilage. When harvested for seed, they should not be 
cut until pods are fully matured and the beans hard. They 
may be harvested by binder or combine. Sow 25 to 100 
pounds per acre depending on the size of seed, method of 
seeding, use of crop, and soil conditions. Soil should be kept 
mellow by frequent cultivation. Harvesting for hay is similar 
to methods used for harvesting alfalfa and clover. Sow the 
early varieties in the West, such as Early Soy, Manchu, and
