Vf»tcK Spring, or Tares (Vicia sativa). In 
V jrjigiijiid the Spring Vetch is not 
hardy except in the soutliern part. It is excel¬ 
lent for Spring sowing and has a large yield of 
nutritious hay as well as being especially adapted 
as a soil imijrovcr and nitrogen gatherer. As tlu! 
seed of the Spring \'etch is larger than the Win¬ 
ter it will not go as far in seeding and is sold 
at a lower price. If sown broadcast sixty to

Winter, or Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa). Each 
year we find our sales increasing on the Sand or 
Hairy Vetch, as it is evidently getting more 
popular with those who wish to grow more for¬ 
age; it is especially adapted as a soil fertilzer. 
It succeeds and produces a good crop on poor, 
sandy soil as well as on good land ; it is perfectly 
hardy throughout the I'nited States. The root 
growth is very extensive and makes a quantity 
of nitrogen tubercles. The Vetches can be sown 
from .liily to November and should be sown 
broadcast at the rate of from twenty to thirty 
pounds to the acre, and one bushel of Oats or 
Itye, as the Itye assists in holding the A'etches oil 
the ground, makes a better growth and can he 
harvested earlier. If sown alone thirty, to forty 
pounds per acre should be used. Lb. 25c.,
