Fottler, Fiske, Rawson 
FARM SEEDS -Continued 
Cane or Sorghum, Early Amber. Valu- 
_ able for the large amount of foliage, 
green fodder it produces and for its grain. Ripens wher¬ 
ever Indian Corn matures. 
Lb. 15c., 5 lbs. 50c., 15 lbs. $1.30, 50 lbs. $3.75. 
SUNFLOWER, Mammoth Russian. This is the best 
variety for a farmer to grow; it reaches double the size of 
other sorts and yields twice as large a crop of seed, which 
is used largely for poultry as it has high feeding value 
Lb. 15c., 5 lbs. 50c., 15 lbs. $1.20, 50 lbs. $3.60. 
Vetch Spring, or Tares (Vicia sativa). In New 
_? England the Spring Vetch is hardy only in the 
southern part. It is excellent for Spring sowing and has 
a large yield of nutritious hay as well as being especially 
adapted as a soil improver and nitrogen gatherer. As 
the seed of the Spring Vetch is larger than the Winter, 
it will not go so far in seeding and is sold at a lower price. 
If sown broadcast sixty to one hundred pounds to the 
acre. 
Lb. 20c., 5 lbs. 75c., 15 lbs. $1.95, 50 lbs. $6.00, 
100 lbs. $11.50. 
Winter, or Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa). Sand or Hairy 
Vetch is becoming more popular with those who wish to 
grow more forage, for it is especially adapted as a soil 
fertilizer. It succeeds and produces a good crop on 
poor, sandy soil as well as on good land, and is perfectly 
hardy. The root growth is very extensive and makes a 
quantity of nitrogen tubercles. Sow from July to 
November broadcast at the rate of from twenty to thirty 
pounds to the acre, with one bushel of Oats or Itye, for 
either will assist in holding the Vetches off the ground, 
allowing a better growth and earlier harvesting. If 
sown alone thirty to forty pounds per acre should be used. 
Price on application. 
Sugar 
Spring, Saskatchewan. In the West 
W neat, where Wheat, is grown largely this is pro¬ 
nounced by all the milling kings to be the largest yielder. 
Fifty bushels to the acre is not an uncommon yield. Sow 
90 to 120 lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 15c., 5 lbs. 50c., 15 lbs. $1.30, 50 lbs. $3.75. 
Marquis. Matures extra early, has a heavy stalk not 
quite as tall as Red type, which makes it less likely to 
lodge. The heads are extra heavy and beardless, pro¬ 
ducing a large, plump, dark red flinty kernel. 
Lb. 15c., 5 lbs. 50c., 15 lbs. $1.30, 50 lbs. $3.75.

to five feet deep. This can be supplied only in the Fall, 
Septemljer or October. Price on application. 
Mulford Culture 
Legumes are a necessity on every farm 
Legumes enrich the soil, for their roots gather im¬ 
mense quantities of nitrogen fixing bacteria, which 
take nitrogen from the air and leave it in the soil in a 
form readily available for growing crops. Nitrogen is 
the most expensive chemical to buy in fertilizer. Why 
not make use of this cheap source and encourage their 
growth by the use of Mulford Cultures, the standard 
brand, that improve your crops.
