DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any locality, and one of the most satis¬ 
factory quick-growing crops, especially for sheep. As a fattening food for sheep, cattle, 
calves or pigs, it is without a rival in point of cheapness, is hardy, withstands drought, 
and will produce a crop in any soil. The seed may be sown from May to July, 10 to 12 
pounds per acre. 
LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
To grow a beautiful lawn, it is necessary to have a rich, well drained soil; carefully 
prepared to make it fine, smooth and mellow. As all varieties of grass seeds do not 
germinate at the same time, special care must be taken in the selection of the proper 
kinds to make a velvety carpet-like lawn. Seed may be sown in spring and up to early 
fall at the rate of 1 pound to every 200 square feet. 
Choice Lawn Seed. This is a mixture of seeds especially adapted to make a velvety- 
like lawn. 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
Shady Spot. This mixture is adapted for growing in the shade and under trees. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25. 
If sent Parcel Post, include extra for postage. See rates on page 1.

Pasture Seed 
A Special Grass Mixture for Permanent Pastures. This is a special mixture of 
grasses that produce a heavier, thicker and longer continued growth of grasses than 
when only one or two kinds are sown. It also makes a much heavier and thicker sod. 
If unable to harrow into the soil, the seed should be sown just as soon as the snow 
leaves in the spring, while the ground is cool and moist. We recommend using 1 to 1V 2 
bushels of seed per acre. Write for prices.
