BRECK’S SAND OR WINTER VETCH (VICIA 
VILEOSA) AND GOLDEN CHAFF 
WINTER WHEAT. 
(Our Special Offers do not apply on goods under this heading.) 
This mixture of a non-legume and a legume is a very desirable spring green fodder. It will produce excellent 
crops on poor, sandy soils as well as on good land; grows to a height of four to five feet. It is perfectly hardy 
throughout the United States, and should be sown in the fall. It is the earliest crop for cutting, being hardier and 
nearly a month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for planting spring 
crops. Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the United States should have a field of it, and if you try it once you 
will never be a season without it. It is exceedingly nutritious, eaten with relish, and may be fed with safety to all 
kinds of stock. If more of the fodder mixture has been produced than can be fed green, the balance may be made 
into hay.

Vetch to the acre, and was harvested June 15th and produced twelve to fifteen tons green fodder to the acre.

In regard to the merits of the combination of Golden Chaff Winter Wheat and Sand Vetch, will say I think 
very highly of it; we have seeded about six acres this fall , and regard it as the best early green fodder crop 
we can raise in New England climate. 
Yours truly ,
