RAPE, DWARF ESSEX ENGLISH 
FOR SOWING 
There is but one variety of Rape that has proven profitable to sow in America, and that is the Dwarf Essex. Do not be de¬ 
luded into buying inferior grades offered by unscrupulous dealers. Such seed is often more or less mixed with the annual variety, 
which is not only worthless as forage, but once planted is likely to become a pernicious weed. There is no plant that will give as 
heavy a yield of forage at such a small cost as this, and its general cultivation would add largely to the profits of American farms. 
It is excellent for sheep pasture, and also for soiling. It may be sown in May, and will be ready for pasturing in July and August. 
Or it may be sown in June or July, and yet furnish a large amount of pasture or fodder. In drills, sow five pounds to the acre ; 
sown broadcast, ten pounds to the acre. Lb. 10 cts., 100 lbs. $8.
