Crotalaria Spectabilis 
CROTALARIA 
A legume that makes four times the leafy growth and root 
nodules as cowpeas or velvet beans, frequently 40,000 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 pre¬ 
vents erosion, holds water in sandy soil and opens up heavy soil. 
Yields of following crops are frequently doubled. Completely 
smothers our summer weeds. Grows well on any soil. Requires 
no lime, fertilization or cultivation, although early cultivation 
pays. Sow at corn planting time 15 to 20 pounds per acre broad¬ 
cast or 5 pounds in rows. Our seed is scarified and germinates 
readily.

Bearded Spring Barley 
Quickest grazing and earliest maturing 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. Heads up in about 65 days and 
matures 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. It yields 25 to 40 bushels per acre of grain 
equal to corn in feeding value. Sow 2 bushels per acre in February 
or March. By mail postpaid, peck 70o; y 2 bushel $1.50; bushel $2.30. 
Not postpaid, peck 45c; y 2 bushel 70c; bushel $1.40; 5-bushel lots 
$1.15 per bushel. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Quick cheap pasturage for Poultry and All Livestock. Ready in 
6 weeks. Furnishes grazing throughout the year. Averages 10 tons 
of green forage per acre of highest feeding value for fattening or 
supplying vitamins to growing stock. One acre will pasture 20 
hogs for two months. A State experiment station reports gains of 
over 7 to 8 pounds by lambs fed on rape alone. 
To avoid bloating,, have salt and hay or straw available, and do 
not graze rape when it is wet or stock are hungry. Graze only a 
short while the first day. 
SOW 6 to 8 pounds per acre broadcast, or 3 to 4 pounds in drills 
18 to 24 inches apart and cultivate occasionally. In 8 to 10 weeks 
the leaves will cover the intervening space and choke out weeds. 
Sow again in corn at the last working for winter and spring pas¬ 
turage at a cost of 50 cents an acre.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
THE LARGE HEADED, LARGE SEED VARIETY 
A good grain crop for poultry or green feed for hogs. Makes 
more ensilage than corn. A profitable cash crop as it yields 1,000 
to 1,500 pounds per acre of seed rich in oil and protein. Plant and 
cultivate like corn in 2%-foot rows. For feed or silage, plant 15 
to 20 pounds per acre; for seed production 8 pounds, planting a 
foot apart in the row. When ripe, cut off the heads and pile loosely 
under cover. They thresh easily when cured. By mail postpaid,
