CROTALARIA 
Makes four times the leafy growth and root nodules as cowpeas 
or velvet beans, frequently -10,000 pounds per acre. When turned 
under the cash value of nitrogen is estimated at $20.00 per acre, 
besides the untold value of humus which prevents erosion, holds 
water in sandy soil and opens up heavy soil. Yields of following 
crops are frequently doubled. Completely smothers out summer 
weeds. Grows well on any soil. Requires no lime, inoculation, 
fertilization or cultivation, although early cultivation pays. Sow 
at corn planting time 10 pounds per acre broadcast or 5 pounds in 
rows. Our seed is scarified and germinates readily.

Wood's Spring Pasture Mixture 
A Fine Quick Crop for Spring Grazing 
Sow two bushels per acre during January, February and March. 
Nothing you can sow in the spring will give grazing, and a lot of 
it, as quickly as Wood’s Spring - Pasture Mixture. Sow it to have a 
pasture for all your stock before the grass pasture is ready. The 
ingredients are properly proportioned and furnish an abundance of 
quick, early and nutritious grazing. All kinds of stock relish it. 
Also makes a good early hay crop. 
A mixture of spring barley, rye, oats, vetch, clover and rape, 
combined in proper proportions to make a quick, early and nutri¬ 
tious spring and early summer pasture that will give an abundance 
of grazing before the grass and clover pastures are ready. It 
makes a quick growth, is relished by all kinds of stock ; and comes 
in before the natural pasture grasses have made sufficient growth 
to furnish grazing. 
Wood's Spring Pasture Mixtures also provides an answer to the 
question so often asked, “What shall I sow for pasture for poul¬ 
try?” All poultry raisers appreciate the importance of an early 
green crop for laying hens,, especially in the early spring, and it 
will be found a long step in keeping up egg production and health 
of the fowls. 
The earlier seedings are made the better. By mail postpaid, 
peck 85c; y 2 bushel $1.35; bushel $2.40.

5-ljushel lots $1.35 per bushel. 
A Tremendous Growth of Crotalaria Intermedia 
Bearded Spring Barley 
Quickest growing and earliest spring grain. 
Where there is a shortage of corn or other feed, spring barley 
will give the quickest grazing (a few weeks after planting), and 
earliest maturing grain. Can be cut in about two months, making 
very nutritious and palatable hay. In feeding value it is equal to 
corn. Bearded spring barley heads up in about 65 days and ma¬ 
tures in about 80 days. Can be grown on a greater variety of soils 
and under a wider range of climatic conditions than almost any 
other grain crop. Spring seeding of barley does not make as large 
yields of grain as when sown in the fall, generally ranging from 
25 to 40 bushels per acre. Sow at the rate of 2 bushels per acre. 
By mail postpaid, peck 80c; y 2 bushel $1.30; bushel $2.25.

Dwarf Essex Rape 
A Quick and Cheaply Grown Pasturage for Sheep, 
Hogs, Cattle and Poultry. 
Ready in 6 to 8 Weeks from Sowing 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
A fine early hay crop. 
Canada Field Peas make a fattening and milk-producing food 
on land that will not produce a grain crop, and yet improve the 
soil by gathering and storing nitrogen. They yield heavy crops for 
either grazing or hay; stock eat it greedily 
and thrive on it. They grow 4 to 6 feet high, 
but can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches high. 
If not grazed too closely,, a second growth 
may be had. 
Sow in January, February or early in 
March, plow in 4 inches deep, after which drill in one bushel of 
Fulghum Oats to the acre to hold the vines off the ground. Sow 
1% bushels to the acre. 
By mail postpaid, peck $1.30; y 2 bushel $2.20; bushel $3.95. 
Not postpaid, peck 85c y 2 bushel $1.45; bushel (60 lbs.) $2.60; 
5-bushel lots $2.50 per bushel. 
Mammoth Russian Sunfl ower 
Large Seeded Variety 
A crop that is becoming very popular along the coastal States as 
a cash crop. Yields of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds or more per acre are 
common and generally more profitable than other cultivated crops. 
Sunflower seeds are rich in oil and protein and fine for poultry; 
also the leaves make excellent fodder the whole plant furnishing 
fine ensilage and hog feed. Plant and cultivate like corn, in rows 
2% to 3 feet apart and a foot apart in the rows. For seed produc¬ 
tion, plant 8 pounds to the acre, or as a feed or silage crop 15 to 
20 pounds per acre in rows and dropping the seed rather thick in 
the row. When ripe and hard, cut off the heads and pile loosely 
under cover, and when cured will thresh easily. By mail postpaid, 
lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 90c; 10 lbs. $1.65; 25 lbs. $3.40; 50 lbs. $6.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 13c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 11c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 10c per lb. No charge for bags. 
INOCULATE THIS 
SEED WITH 
STIMUGERM 
Sow it as early as possible—February and March or early April 
is not too late, 3 to 4 pounds plant an acre in drills; 6 to 8 pounds 
broadcast. 
Formerly rape was grown especially for sheep and lambs, but in 
recent years it has been found equally good for providing pasture 
for all kinds of stock. It has been estimated to yield more than 10 
tons of green forage per acre that for fattening is claimed to be 
worth, pound for pound, double the value of clover. One of the 
State experiment stations reports that the lowest average gain on 
lambs fed on rape alone was 7 to 8 pounds. Another experiment 
station recommends the sowing of 5 to 6 pounds rape to the acre 
in corn at the last working, and stating that this has proved a par¬ 
ticularly profitable practice, as an enormous crop can be grown at 
a cost of about 50 to 60 cents per acre. An acre of rape will easily 
pasture twenty hogs for two months. 
Do not turn stock into a rape pasture when they are hungry, nor 
when the rape is wet. as it may induce bloating; allow them to 
remain a short while the first day, and increase the time each suc¬ 
ceeding day. Give stock access to salt while feeding on rape; they 
should also have hay or straw convenient in case of bloat. 
CULTURE —Sow either broadcast or in drills 18 inches to 2 feet 
apart; when grown in drills and cultivated occasionally, the leaves 
will cover the intervening space; this method is a fine weed killer. 
Allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to attain its maximum growth. 
Sow again next fall for grazing during the fall, winter and spring. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 60c; 10 lbs. $1.05; 25 lbs. $2.05; 
50 lbs. $3.90. 
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 7c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 5 y 2 c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 5c per lb. No charge for bags. 
H V —Domestic grown. For hay, grazing and soil im- 
nairy V eicn provement. Sow as early as the weather will al¬ 
low, 26 to 30 pounds to the acre, with 3 pecks of oats to hold the 
vines off the ground and make the cutting easier. Sow also in 
corn and cotton at the last working without any expense in the 
preparation of the land. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 
10 lbs. $1.85; 25 lbs. $3.90; 50 lbs. $7.65.
