Sow RAPE SEED for 
Quick Pasture 
One of the best Summer and Fall pastures 
for sheep and hogs. Very inexpensive to 
sow and grow. Soil needs hardly any prep¬ 
aration. Takes only 5 or 6 pounds of seed 
per acre. Seeded all through the Spring 
and up to the end of August. Besides 
sowing alone, can be sown in corn fields, 
or along with many other seeds for pas¬ 
ture purposes. May be pastured when 
about ten inches tall. Makes a second 
growth. 
No land should be allowed to loaf, when such an inex¬ 
pensive crop is available. Succeeds all over the nation. 
Thrives on all sorts of soils. See Price List. 
SPRING VETCH—often called Com¬ 
mon or Oregon Vetch. Not a winter- 
hardy plant, like the Hairy Vetch. But 
makes a good growth when sown in the 
Spring of the year. Often sown with 
Spring grains—oats, rye, or barley. Cost 
is low. 50 pounds per bushel. See Price 
List. 
^Hoffman’s 
VETCH 
SEED 
WINTER OR HAIRY VETCH may be seeded from July 
to October. Very hardy—lives through the Winter. Fine 
cover crop. Gathers much nitrogen at its roots. Valuable 
for hay, pasture, green feed, and for plowing under for soil 
improvement. For best results is seeded with rye or wheat. 
Sow 30 to 60 pounds per acre. Seed should be covered 
about 1 y 2 inches. Soil should be well pre¬ 
pared. Seed inoculated. 
Vetch should be cut for hay when the 
pods are about half formed. For green 
feed, cut when in full bloom. Often used 
as cover crop in orchards. . . . See Price
