VELVET BEANS (Extra Early). Grown 
largely for winter grazing, and for this pur¬ 
pose is one of the best crops for light soils. 
As a soil builder it has no equal. Sow in drills 
at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. 
VETCH, HAIRY OR WINTER. A wonderful 
Nitrogen gatherer and soil improver. One of 
our best winter legumes and green manure 
crops. So resistant to cold, adapted to a wide 
range of soils and can be made to reseed 
itself. For grazing or cover crop sow 10 to 
20 pounds per acre with any of the fall grains. 
For soil improvement and when seeded alone 
sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. For spring 
planting in combination with oats, sow at the 
rate of 5 pounds per acre. Produces hay 
equal to timothy and clover. 
VETCH, HUNGARIAN OR SPRING. Culture 
same as Hairy Vetch. Usuallly sown in 
spring. Very productive and a soil builder. 
When sown with oats produces very nutri¬ 
tious hay. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS. Sown for the 
same purpose as Vetch in September and Oc¬ 
tober, but is not as winter resistant. Sow 25 
pounds per acre, broadcast with grain. 
COW PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. The Whippoorwill is 
more largely grown than any other Cow Pea, 
probably because of its long vines, usually 
about six feet, and because of its large yield. 
LARGE BLACK EYE. The Black Eye Stock 
Peas commonly grown in this vicinity are 
usually mostly for cooking and table use. 
They have an excellent flavor and command 
ready sale in all stores. 
LADY PEAS. A fine small, white table pea 
of excellent flavor. A strong-growing, pro¬ 
lific pea that is much in demand for table use. 
WHITE SUGAR CROWDER. An early-matur¬ 
ing table pea of excellent flavor. Medium 
size white pea with pronounced flattened 
ends. Their rich, sugar flavor makes them a 
great favorite. 
BROWN SUGAR CROWDER. Considered 
by many to be the best eating table pea, and 
always in demand. As the name would indi¬ 
cate, it is of brown color, produces many pods 
crowded full of peas.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE. A cheaply grown 
pasturage for sheep, hogs, cattle and poultry. 
Plants resemble kale but grows a much larger 
leaf. Like kale, it stands a great amount of 
cold weather. Will attain its growth in about 
six to eight weeks. Can be planted either in 
spring or fall at the rate of 6 to 8 pounds per 
acre, broadcast. Refer to green list for 
prices. 
BUCKWHEAT (Japanese). Sown largely 
for bees. The blooms produce excellent 
honey. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Write 
for quantity prices. 
WHY INOCULATE 
Inoculation of your seed before planting 
will give you a much stronger and quicker 
growth, producing a greater tonnage of 
hay. The cost of inoculation per acre is 
so small that the increased yield will repay 
it many times. 
The big benefit comes in the value added 
to your land. The roots of the Alfalfa are 
the home of the inoculated bacteria that 
draw the fertility-building nitrogen from 
the air and store it in swellings on the 
roots called nodules. These nodules not 
only feed nitrogen to the plant, but rot 
away in the ground to supply valuable 
nitrogen to all future crops of all kinds. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
W^hen planting roots for the permanent 
bed the soil should be worked to a depth of 
16 or 18 inches and a liberal dressing of sta¬ 
ble manure or peat moss and a good fertilizer 
applied. Make trenches about 4 inches deep 
and 6 inches wide and place the roots, crown 
up, about 2 feet apart. Leave the roots at 
least 4 feet apart. With care, a bed of 500 
square feet, requiring about 100 roots, will 
amply provide for an average family for 8 or 
10 years.
