“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS 
CHAS. C. HART SEED CO._—41— WETHERSFIELD, CONN 
OTHER LEGUMES 
SOY OR SOJA BEANS — Soy Beans can be grown anywhere 
corn can be grown and are useful both for forage and for soil 
improvement as the mature plant, if inoculated, contains 
more protein than any other legume. Prepare the land as 
for Corn, but sow a little later. Manchu is the most popular 
early variety and produces a large crop of forage. Broadcast 
IK bushels per acre. (Bushel 60 lbs.). 
Prices: Per lb. 5c.; Bushel 4c. per lb. 
Cow Peas — Very similar in growth and use to Soy Beans 
but succeed better on thinner and sandier soils. The land 
should be prepared as for Com, but plantings should be 
made about two weeks later. Whippoorwill is the best 
general purpose variety. Broadcast IK bushels per acre. 
(Bushel 60 lbs.) 
Prices: Per lb. 6c.; Bushel 5 l / 2 c. per lb. 
Canada Field Peas — These are grown for hay, green forage 
and soil improvement and are often seeded with Oats. 
They thrive best in cool moist weather and should be sown 
as early as possible in the spring. They should be mixed with 
Oats in equal proportions. Broadcast alone 2 bushels to the 
acre or IK bushels to the acre with Oats. (Bushel 60 lbs.) 
Prices: Per lb. 7c.; Bushel 6c. per lb. 
Hairy Vetch — The finest legume winter cover and green 
manure crop and excellent for green feed, hay and pasturage. 
It thrives better on sandy soil than any other plant although 
it requires good drainage and a fair amount of moisture. 
Rye is commonly sown with Vetch to furnish support. 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre with 1K bu. of small grain. (Bushel 
60 lbs.). 
Prices: Per lb. 20c.; Bushel 19c. per lb. 
Spring Vetch — Not as hardy as the sand or Hairy Vetch and 
requires a fairly rich, moist soil. It does not survive the 
winter in this climate and like Hairy Vetch grows best with 
a companion crop to support the vines. (Bushel 60 lbs.). 
Sow 40 lbs. per acre with IK bushels of small grain. 
Prices: Per lb. 10c.; Bushel 9c. per lb. 
FORAGE CROPS 
Hungarian Millet — Very early in maturity but requiring 
more moisture in soil and climate than other varieties. The 
hay is of excellent quality and it is the heaviest yielder of 
all Millets. It may be sown early in June and cut in sixty 
days or sown later after other crops are harvested to help 
out a shortage. Sow one bushel to the acre. (Bushel 48 
lbs.). 
Prices: Per lb. 11c.; Bushel 10c. per lb. 
Japanese or Barnyard Millet — The “Billion Dollar Grass.” 
Somewhat similar in habit to Hungarian but so coarse it 
is not suitable for hay. It makes good silage and green forage 
however, is highly relished by stock and is equal to Corn 
in nutritive value. Broadcast 1 bushel to the acre. (Bushel 
32 lbs.). 
Prices: Per lb. 9c.; Bushel 8c. per lb. 
Golden or German Millet — Coarse heavy stems and broad 
leaves. The hay is of inferior quality to Hungarian but the 
yield is heavier and the plant requires a long and warm 
growing season and a mellow soil. Sow one bushel per acre. 
(Bushel 50 lbs.). 
Prices: Per lb. 10c.; Bushel 9c. per lb. 
Sudan Grass — A quick growing annual which requires a 
longer growing season than Millet but attains a greater 
height and produces a considerably heavier yield of forage. 
It requires a fairly rich, loamy soil and is the most dependable 
pasture crop during dry weather. The hay is equal to 
Timothy and stock like it. Sow two weeks after Com 
planting time. About 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre. 
Prices: Per lb. 16c.; 50 lbs. 15c. per lb. 
Rape Dwarf Essex — The plants resemble the leaves of Rut* 
Baga Turnip but are larger. It makes excellent pasture and 
green forage for cattle, swine and sheep and produces an 
abundant flow of milk. Sow about ten lbs. to the acre. 
Prices: Per lb. 10c.; 50 lbs. 9c. per lb. 
Sunflower — Strictly speaking, not a forage crop for cattle 
but very useful as a poultry food. The dried flower heads 
are used for the feeding value the seeds possess. 
Prices: Per lb. 15c.; 10 lbs. 13c. per lb. 
GRAIN SEEDS 
Barley Oderbrucker — There is no cheaper or better feed 
than Barley for hogs, cattle and horses. For not only is it 
easy to grow at less expense and labor but its food value 
is equal to that of Com. This strain produces large, plump 
heavy grain on well filled heads. Sow 2 bushels to the acre. 
(Bushel 48 lbs.) 
Prices: Bu. $2.15; Bag (2»/ 2 bu.) $2.00; 10 Bu. $1.90 per bu. 
Buckwheat Japanese — A profitable, easily grown crop which 
succeeds on poor land where other grain would fail. Our 
strain has very large, plump, heavy kernels which make 
excellent flour. Sow one bushel to the acre. (Bushel 48 lbs.) 
Prices: Bu. $2.00; Bag (2i/ 2 bu.) $1.85; 10 Bu. $1.75 per bu. 
Rye — Winter or Rosen — Excellent for winter soiling or 
green manure or as a cover crop. It is usually sown during 
the summer or late fall and makes an extremely rapid 
growth. Sow IK to 2 bushels to the acre. (Bushel 56 lbs.) 
Prices: Bu. $1.85; Bag (2y 2 bu.) $1.75; 10 Bu. $1.60 per bu. 
Spring Rye — Where winter grain has failed or where a quick 
cover crop is desired. Spring Rye is unexcelled. It matures 
early and may be used to cover before planting pasture 
grass or summer grains. Sow IK to 2 bushels to the acre. 
(Bushel 56 lbs.) 
Prices: Bu. $2.65; Bag (2 V 2 bu.) $2.50; 10 Bu. $2.40 per bu. 
Spring Wheat — Marquis — Spring Wheat can be raised 
anywhere in the Northeastern States, but should be sown 
as early as possible. Marquis is beardless and free from rust 
and is extremely early and heavy yielding. Sow about 2 
bushels to the acre. (Bushel 60 lbs.). 
Prices: Bu. $3.15; Bag (2 Vjs bu.) $3.00. 
SEED OATS 
Swedish Type — This is a heavy Oat, clean and plump, and 
free from smut, rust and weed seeds. It produces heavier 
yields than any other sort and is consequently more profit¬ 
able. The heads are large, branching and the straw is tall 
and stiff and the “meat” inside the kernels is large and full. 
A legal bushel is 32 lbs. although our Oats run 42 to 44 lbs. 
to the measured bushel. 
Prices: Bu. $1.50; Bag (3 bu.) $1.35; 10 Bu. $1.25 per bu. 
Common — An ordinary Oat which is perfectly satisfactory 
where quantity of straw is the only objective and the grain 
is not desired. 
Prices: Bu. $1.25; Bag (3 bu.) $1.10; 10 Bu. $1.00 per bu.
