1155—VETCH (Spring Type)—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 nutritious. Handle similar to Canada 
Field Peas. Spring Vetch is superior to peas. Makes a greater growth of vine, takes 
less seed per acre. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per acre with about 1 bushel of oats. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 15 lbs., $2.25 
1176—VETCH (Sand or Hairy Type)—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., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.90; 15 lbs., $2.70 
1265— RYE (Abruzzi Type)—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, $1.40; bu., $2.25 
1266— RYE (Rosen Type)—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, $1.30; y 2 bu., $2.00 
1267— RYE (Southern or Common Type)—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. $1.15; 14 bu., $1.85 
1268— SUNFLOWER (Russian Type)—Sow 10 pounds per acre in drills 3 feet apart, 
dropping seed about every 4 inches. 
Large pkt., 10c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20 
Oats packed 5 bushels (160 pounds) to bag. Sow 60 to 90 pounds to acre alone; 
with Vetch, 32 pounds Oats and 30 pounds Vetch. 
1275— OATS (Appier Type)—Are equally well adapted for sowing both in the spring 
and fall. 
Peck, 85c; y 2 bu., $1.40; 1 bu., $2.25 
1276— OATS (Burt Type) (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, 80c; y 2 bu., $1.30; 1 bu., $2.10 
1278— OATS (Winter Turf Type)—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, 95c; 14 bu., $1.60; 1 bu., $2.50 
1279— OATS (Fulghum Type)—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, 85c; % bu., $1.40; 1 bu., $2.25 
1280— OATS (Red Rust Proof Type)—This variety is very hardy, producing a medium 
tall, stiff straw and a heavy yield of grain or hay. The stock which we offer is excep¬ 
tionally heavy, bright, re-cleaned and graded. 
Peck, 75c; 14 bu., $1.20; 1 bu., $2.00 
1258—WHEAT (Fultz Type)—A smooth-head wheat, sown in the South for grazing 
green hay, and in some sections threshed and ground for flour. 
5 lbs., 60c; peck, $1.25; 14 bu.. $2.25 
1260—WHEAT (Red May Type)—Beardless or smooth-head, sown mostly in the South 
for grazing and to cut green for hay in spring. 
5 lbs., 55c; peck, $1.15; 14 bu., $2.00 
1263— BARLEY (Beardless Type)—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., 65c; peck, $1.15; 14 bu., $2.00 
1262—BARLEY (Bearded Type)—Best for fall sowing; in fact, makes the finest winter 
pasture and should be more generally used. 5 lbs., 60c; peck, $1.00; 14 bu., $1.80 
1264— BROOM CORN (Dwarf Type)—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. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.15 
1269—BUCKWHEAT (Silver Hull Type)—The grain of this type is plump and silvery 
gray. The crop continues to bloom longer than common buckwheat, and therefore is 
larger. Sow broadcast, 50 pounds to the acre. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50
