MISCELLANEOUS ■ 
Dwarf Essex Rape. Especially desirable for green 
manuring and pasture; also of considerable com¬ 
mercial value as a forage for stock and poultry; 
for sheep and swine it is a particularly fine feed. 
Seed may be sown in May for Summer crops and 
in June and July for Fall feeding. The war has 
shortened the supply of Rape and it is very scarce.

Russian Sand, or Hairy Vetch 
Rye and Vetch Mixture. We list this as a result 
of experiments spread over a number of years. 
After the last cultivation we have sown among our 
crops a mixture of Rye and Vetch for a Winter 
covering and to plow under in Spring, and it has 
proven an entirely satisfactory crop, preventing 
the land from washing, and greatly improving and 
enriching the soil. Sow any time between August 
1 and October 1 to ensure a good crop before 
freezing weather sets in; about 134 bushels to the 
acre. (Bushel, 60 lbs.) Lb. 10c.; 10 to 25 lbs.,

Vetch, Russian Sand, or Hairy. A hardy forage 
plant, and very productive. Its extensive root 
growth and nitrogen-gathering properties make it 
particularly valuable as a soil fertilizer. Sow seed 
in August or September at the rate of 40 to 60 
lbs. per acre. Lb. 22c.; 10 to 25 lbs., per lb. 20c.; 
25 to 100 lbs., per lb. 19c.; 100 lbs. or more, per 
lb. 18c. 
Vetch, Spring, or Tares. A Pea-like variety 
generally sown broadcast alone or with Oats or 
Barley. Sown in Spring, it yields a large crop of 
nutritious hay; also esteemed as a soil improver.
