Prices on These Items Are Constantly Changing. Write for Prices. 
1176—VETCH (Sand or Hairy Type)—The hardiest vetch. Fine for hay, grazing and 
improving land. Grows well on all soils and surprisingly well on poor, thin land, and 
will stand extremes of drouth, heat and cold. The yield of hay is really wonderful, 
as many as twenty long vines growing from a single root. It may be sown in the 
fall to make hay about the end of May, for an excellent pasture or to prevent the 
leaching of plant food from the land by the winter rains. It never winter kills. 
1265—RYE (Abruzzi Type)—If sown on good land in September it will be ready for 
grazing in about six weeks, and will furnish grazing for several months if not grazed 
too close. Unless wanted for grazing, do not sow as early as September, as it may go to 
seed during the winter or early spring; late October or early November is early enough 
to sow for a grain crop. 
1267— RYE (Southern or Common Type)—I have sold Southern or Common White Rye 
for 40 years, and while there is no special comment to make on same, there is more 
of it sown than all other varieties combined. It is cheaper in price and can be sown 
from August 15 to December 15 for grazing. Sow about 2 bushels to acre. 
1250—AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS—A good plan for planting is to disk about 25 to 
30 pounds per acre about 2 inches deep in cotton middles for green manure. If 
sown for hay it is best to mix 25 pounds of Peas with 1 bushel Oats—Oats hold the 
Peas up to be cut. 
Austrian Peas when used for soil improvement should be turned under the first 
half of March. When used for hay they are ready about the same time as Fall planted 
Oats. 
1258—WHEAT (Fultz Type)—A smooth-head wheat, sown in the South for grazing 
green hay, and in some sections threshed and ground for flour. 
1260—WHEAT (Red May Type)—Beardless or smooth-head, sown mostly in the South 
for grazing and to cut green for hay in spring. 
1263—BARLEY (Beardless Type)—It makes a quick-growing crop of most excellent 
and nutritious feed, either to use green or to cure as hay. Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
For fall planting seeds write for prices when ready to buy 
1268— SUNFLOWER (Russian Type)—Sow 10 pounds per acre in drills 3 feet apart, 
dropping seed about every 4 inches. 
Price—Large pkt., 10c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 65c; 10 lbs., $1.15 
1063—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. 
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 interven¬ 
ing space and choke out weeds. Sow again in corn at the last working for winter 
and spring pasturage at a cost of 50 cents an acre. 
Price—1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.80; 25 lbs., $2.90 
1275— OATS (Appier Type)—Are equally well adapted for sowing both in the spring 
and fall. 
1276— OATS (Burt Type) (90 days)—Sow in February, March and April, 15 days earlier 
than any other spring oats; free from rust; healthy, and makes a remarkably good yield 
of clean, bright, heavy grain. 
1279— OATS (Fulghum Type)—This oat has been very popular for many years. It is of 
the rust-proof type, earlier than either Appier or Red Rust Proof, and a heavier yielder. 
1280— OATS (Red Rust Proof Type)—This variety is very hardy, producing a medium 
tall, stiff straw and a heavy yield of grain or hay. The stock which we offer is exception¬ 
ally heavy, bright, recleaned and graded. Price—Peck, 65c; % bu., 95c; 1 bu., $1.75 
1278—OATS (Winter Turf Type)—Often called Winter Turf because they stand the 
winter better than any other oat that you can sow in the fall. Sow at the rate of 
2 bushels per acre. 
1269— BUCKWHEAT (Silver Hull Type)—The grain of this type is plump and silvery 
gray- The crop continues to bloom longer than common buckwheat, and therefore is 
larger. Sow broadcast, 50 pounds to the acre. Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 90c 
AVERY CORRUGATING SEEDER 
Save Topsoil , Rain and Seed 
Soil erosion can now be stopped by the 
use of an Avery Corrugating Seeder—new, 
simple, inexpensive method of seeding 
and controlling soil and moisture. 
Corrugating your land keeps the rain 
where it falls and stores it away in the 
soil to supply future crops, to make 
B. F. AVERY & SONS CO., Memphis, Tenn. humus, to improve soil fertility and to 
greatly increase your yields. Holds seed where sown; positively prevents sheet 
erosion and gullies. 
With an Avery Corrugating Seeder you can sow barley, wheat, oats or rye in 
lespedeza and get a far better yield of both grain and lespedeza. You seed, fertilize 
and corrugate at the same time. No plowing, harrowing or drilling.
