Dwarf Essex Rape 
This is a most important forage plant and is 
sometimes used as a cover crop. It grows like a 
turnip, with a very leafy top but no swollen root. 
Especially valuable for hog- and sheep-feed, and 
it is claimed to have a feed value greater than 
clover. Can be sown either in the fall or spring, 
at the rate of 6 to 8 pounds per acre broadcast. 
Sand, Hairy, or Winter Vetch 
Hairy or Winter Vetches are increasing in 
popularity wherever grown, and are proving to 
be one of the most valuable crops for fall plant¬ 
ing. Inoculate seed with Legume-Aid. 
Sow 20 pounds of Vetch and 1 bushel of Rye or Oats 
to the acre 
Sudan Grass 
A new forage plant closely related to the culti¬ 
vated sorghums; of value in the dry Middle West 
as a drought-resisting hay crop. In the East and 
North should be tried as a substitute for millet, 
as the crop is larger and has better feeding value. 
Care should be exercised in turning cattle onto 
second growth. In rows, 4 to 6 pounds to the 
acre; broadcast, 20 pounds to the acre. 
Clovers 
A Necessity on Every Farm 
Clovers enrich the soil, for their roots gather 
immense quantities of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, 
which take nitrogen from the air and leave it in 
the soil in a form readily available for growing 
crops. Nitrogen is the most expensive chemical 
to buy in fertilizer. Encourage their growth by 
the use of Legume-Aid. 
Grimm Alfalfa. Only a few strains equal, and 
none excel, true Grimm Alfalfa in hardiness. 
It is the safest type to sow wherever there is 
trouble from winter-killing. We believe it is 
the best strain to sow in this locality, and for 
that reason it is the only one we carry in stock. 
Our supply of this seed is the finest obtainable. 
Medium Red. More widely known than any 
other variety. Makes a standard Clover for 
hay purposes as it can be cut at least twice in a 
season. Sow the seed early in the spring or late 
summer, at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per 
acre. If used with timothy or red-top, 10 
pounds per acre will be sufficient. 
Alsike. Seed may be sown in the spring, late 
summer, or early autumn, and, as the plants 
are perfectly hardy, the field seldom requires 
reseeding. Thrives better on thin soil than 
Red Clover. Sow in spring or late summer, at 
the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
White Dutch. Valuable for quick lawns and 
used in all permanent pasture mixtures as it is 
greatly relished by stock. 
White Blossom Biennial Sweet Clover. Of 
great value as a soil renovator. It will thrive 
on all classes of soil. Sow any time from April 
until the middle of September at the rate of 
15 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
Grains 
Buckwheat 
Japanese. Early and most productive of the 
Buckwheats. Use for green-manure crop and 
for bee pasturage. 
Rye 
Rosen’s Seed Winter. Generally used as a 
cutter crop and for soil-improvement. Can be 
seeded at any time before the middle of Novem¬ 
ber. Use 1 to 134 bushels of seed per acre. 
Spring. An early-maturing forage grass as it 
makes an excellent green fodder when cut, or 
can be used as pasturage for several weeks. 
Sow in early spring at the rate of 1 J4 bushels 
of seed per acre. 
Wheat 
Spring. Usually sown alone in early spring to 
cut as a green fodder crop, or can be sown with 
Vetch for hay purposes. 
White Winter. Generally sown with Winter 
Vetch between September 10 and October 15 
in this area. Can be used in early spring as 
green feed or made into a very palatable hay. 
Barley 
Chevalier. A two-rowed variety that is more 
widely used for forage than the 6-rowed. Seed 
grown on the irrigated lands of Montana. 
Very plump, extra heavy and nearly white. 
Millet or Hungarian Grass Seed 
Prices variable; subject to market fluctuation 
Hungarian Grass (Panicum germanicum). One 
of our best forage plants and yields immensely, 
even when the weather is so dry that other 
crops dry up. Sow from June 15 to July 31. 
One bushel seeds an acre. (48 pounds to bushel.) 
Millet, Japanese Barnyard (Panicum Crus- 
galli). This Millet is valuable as a green or dry 
fodder, or for soiling. It is erect in growth, 
very leafy, and the stalks are tender and succu¬ 
lent, even when matured. Produces from 15 to 
20 tons green fodder per acre. As fodder crop 
sow 20 pounds to acre. 
Millet, Tennessee Golden. Of stronger and 
taller growth than other Millets and does not 
mature so early. Sow 1 to 134 bushels an acre. 
(50 pounds to bushel.) 
SEMESAN BEL 
Before planting your Potatoes, give your 
seed a Semesan Bel treatment, thereby 
greatly increasing the yield. It will also re¬ 
duce scab. We will be pleased to mail you 
descriptive pamphlet. See page 18.
