semble clover but are 
much smaller.

Canada Field Peas 
Canada Field Peas should be sown in April, weather permitting. They 
make large yields of most nutritious hay, cut either green or cured for hay. 
They should be sown 1 to l 1 /? bushels per acre, with 1 bushel spring oats. 
On account of their extreme hardiness they can be sown earlier than any 
other legume crop, furnishing an excellent crop of hay or serving the purpose 
of a green fertilizer. 
This is a great crop for hogs and sheep. In from 8 to 10 weeks from 
sowing it is ready to turn them on for daily mowing, producing 20 to 30 
tons of green feed per acre. Covers the ground and chokes out the weeds. 
Sow latter part of June, 6 lbs. to the acre. By mail, postpaid: 1 lb., 15c. 
By express: 10 lbs., $1.25; 50 lbs., $5.00.
