GENERAL LIST OF FIELD SEEDS — Continued 
OATS, Swedish Type White and Fulghum. Our Oats are care¬ 
fully selected and well recleaned. Do not confuse them with 
ordinary feed oats. Sow 1% to 2% bus. per sere. 
OATS, Winter Turf Oats. For fall and spring sowing. 4 to 5 ft. 
high; straw is very palatable for stock. 1% to 2 bu. per acre. 
VETCH, Hairy or Sand (Vicia villosa). Winter annual, adapted 
to sandy soil and will do much to build up any soil espe¬ 
cially when inoculated. Withstands cold weather. Should be 
sown from late August to middle of September at rate of 15 
to 26 lbs. per acre. Can be sown with rye. 
Spring Vetch (Vicia sativa). Used with oats for producing 
spring hay. 
CANADA FIELD FEAS. Grown with oats will make a fodder 
or hay which double the production of milk. Should be sown 
in March or early April, two bushels of peas to two bushels 
of oats to the acre. The Peas should be sown first and 
plowed under about 4 inches deep: the oats then sowed and 
harrowed in. They will be ready for cutting about the end 
of June, when oats are in milk and the pods formed on 
Peas. Write for prices. 
SUNFLOWER, Mammoth Russian. The best variety for the 
farmer. Drill in seed at about 8 to 10 lbs. to acre. It is much 
relished by poultry and horses. Current prices on request. 
BROOM CORN. We carry varieties that are known to produce 
the finest quality straw, and command the highest prices. 
Sow 4 to 5 lbs. per acre in drills, rows 3 feet apart. Thin out 
the stalks to about 70 to the rod. Cultivate same as oorn. 
Cut when seed is in the milk. 
MILLET, True Tennessee Cultivated German. (Round Seed). 
This Millet withstands drought better than all other va¬ 
rieties. It is used as a summer hay crop and particularly 
adapted to rich or bottom soils. It should be sown thickly 
and cut when the heads are in bloom, never allowing it to get 
old or seed to form as this causes a great drain on the 
soil besides materially injuring the quality of hay. Very 
useful for cleaning rich, foul lands of weeds as its quick, 
abundant, luxuriant growth* smothers most weeds. Sow one 
bushel per acre in May, June, or July. Two crops can be 
seeded on the same land in one season, if desired. 
MILLET, White Wonder. Produces a very large head similar 
to the Tennessee Millet. Under certain growing conditions 
it is quite difficult to distinguish it from the cultivated Millet. 
The heads will run from six to eight inches. A very desirable 
feature is its earliness; the foliage is also very heavy and 
the leaves broad, resembling Golden Millet. It produces an 
immense amount of excellent fodder which cures very readily. 
HUNGARIAN. Specially adapted to rich or alluvial soil. It 
makes a finer quality of hay than Millet on very rich soil as 
it does not grow so coarse. Cut at the right time, which is 
in bloom, and cured properly, it makes a nutritious hay; is 
especially popular with dairymen. Sow from three-fourths 
to one bushel per acre in May, June or July. 
BUCKWHEAT, Japanese. A splendid crop for poor land. 
Largely used for bees. Sow in June, July or August at rate 
of three-fourths to one bushel per acre broadcast, covering 
with a smoothing harrow. It does not mature grain until 
the cool nights—hence, too early sowing is not desirable. 
KAFFIR CORN. Foliage and stalks do not contain saccharine 
matter, hence are not so valuable for feeding, but the enor¬ 
mous yield of grain makes It very profitable. The grain is 
very largely used for poultry and stock feeding, containing 
a high percentage of starch. 
SOY BEANS. Are becoming more popular each year as a gen¬ 
eral purpose crop, being valuable not only for hay and for¬ 
age, but also for soil improvement, following or preceding 
other crops. They are a valuable pasture crop for hogs as 
well as other stock, and can be sown by themselves for this 
purpose; or in the corn rows and the hogs turned in to feed 
on them after the corn is harvested. 
The value of Soy Beans as a grain crop makes It particu¬ 
larly adapted to systems of rotation. Like other Legumes, 
Soy Beans are able to utilise the nitrogen of the air, adding 
it to the soil. Soy Beans should therefore be inoculated. 
Actual experiments have shown that legumes not inoculated 
rob the soil; inoculated they feed the soil. Sow 1% to 2 
bushels per acre broadcast, in drills 45 pounds, after danger 
of frost is past. 
We carry the following varieties In stock. Write for full 
descripton and current prices. 
Best for Hay Crop: Wilson, Laredo, Black Ebony, and 
Virginia. 
Other Varieties: Manchu, Midwest, Hollybrook, mini, 
Itosan, Scioto, Dunfield, and Mammoth Yellow. 
COWPEAS, The Great Soil Improving Crop. Grow best on 
light or sandy soils. Have a high feeding value. Belonging 
to the bean family, they are nitrogen gathering plants and if 
inoculated will improve the productiveness of the soil. 
We carry the following varieties: New Eras, Whippoorwill, 
and Mixed Varieties. 
New Eras are usually preferred in this section. Sow 1 % 
bus. per acre after danger of frost. Use Nitragin Inoculator. 
RYE, Northern Rosen, Home Grown. Our Rye is carefully 
selected stock and well recleaned. Do not confuse it with 
ordinary milling Rye. 
Barley needs a rich land and lighter than that adapted to 
wheat. It should be cut before fully ripe, if for hay, as it is 
then of better quality, and less liable to shell. Sow 1% to 2 
bushels if drilled; 2 to 2% bushels broadcast. (48 lbs. per bu.) 
We usually carry the following spring varieties: 
BARLEY, Oderbrucker Bearded. Yields heavily and most com¬ 
monly used in this section. 
BARLEY, Spartan Bearded. But has smooth barbless beards. 
BARLEY, Velvet or Barbless. A bearded variety. 
Also for fall sowing we offer: 
BARLEY, Winter or Fall Bearded. Description and prices on 
request. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. Makes excellent pasture for both 
sheep and hogs, and is a fine conditioner for all live stock, 
except milk cows. Best results are obtained by planting in 
two separate fields; pasturing alternately ten days each. 
Plant any time, early spring to midsummer. Sow 3 pounds 
per acre in drills; 6 pounds broadcast. 
SUDAN GRASS. Sudan Grass produces an immense yield of 
nutritious hay. It can be cut twice in a season if planted 
early in the season but after frost danger. Grows 3 to 5 feet 
high. It is adapted to growing in all kinds of soil but pro¬ 
duces the largest yield in warm, temperate latitude. After 
first cutting it stools enormously and then furnishes ex¬ 
ceptionally fine pasture for all stock, except milk cows. It 
is killed by the first frost. Eight to twelve pounds in drills, 
214 to 3 feet apart or broadcast 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
SORGHUM OR CANE, Amber and Orange. Are favorites north 
of the Ohio river, growing 10 to 12 feet high. It makes an 
excellent fodder and it is also fine for silage. 
Seed Field Corn 
White Varieties 
Ohio White Dent and Johnson County White Dent. Probably the 
best known varieties and most commonly planted in this 
section. Produces a large ear, slightly tapering, 8 to 10 
inches long. Deep, large kernel, slightly rough and dented. 
Matures in about 110 days. 
Hickory King Corn. The ears are small, 2 to 3 on a stalk. It 
has the largest grains and the smallest cob of any white 
Corn ever introduced. This is planted extensively for green 
table corn, as it produces 2 to 3 good ears to the stalk and 
is profitable. 
Southern Prolific. A White Ensilage variety, reported to pro¬ 
duce more tons of silage to the acre than any ordinary field 
Corn. Stalks grow 14 to 16 feet high, bearing 2 to 4 medium 
size ears. Matures in about 110 to 120 days. 
Red Cob Ensilage. A popular variety, fodder Corn, either to 
feed green or put up for the silo; produces heavy foliage. 
Yellow Varieties 
Woodburn Yellow Dent. An extra early variety, demand for 
which is increasing each year. It is quite a favorite among 
the Corn growers, on account of its early maturity (about 
90 days). It has exceptionally good yielding qualities. The 
cob is small and well filled from butt to tip, grain very deep. 
Produces an early crop and very desirable for late planting. 
Learning. An ideal feeder’s Corn of light, golden color; ripen¬ 
ing in about 110 days; ears slightly tapering and cylindrical. 
They grow 8 to 10 inches long, 7 to 8 inches in circumfer¬ 
ence. The ears are from 16 to 22 rows. The cob is red and 
of moderate size. 
Ohio Yellow Dent. A medium early yellow variety, producing 
ears of good length and filling out remarkably well, even 
under adverse conditions. Stalks of good height, producing 
one or two good ears, which average 10 to 11 inches long, 14 
to 16 rows. Grains flinty, deep; slightly dented, rich color, 
and fine feeding quality. Ripens in about 110 days. 
SEED CORN TREATMENT REDUCES DISEASE DAMAGE 
We recommend Improved Semesan Jr., a dust disinfectant 
for preventing and controlling the ear, root and stalk rots of 
field corn. See page 61. 
Our Field Corn is carefully selected, tested and graded. Ask 
for current prices, stating variety in which you are interested. 
HYBRID SEED CORN 
We can supply the following adapted yellow hybrids. 
U. S. 52. A medium variety for early planting. Maturity 
about 110 days. 
W. 17. An early type recommended for late planting. About 
95 days maturity. 
L. 31. Late maturing, produces large leafy fodder, large 
ears and deep grain.
