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 IVt to 2% bus. per acre. 
OATS, Winter Turf Oats. For fall and spring sowing. 4 to 5 ft. 
high; straw is very palatable for stock. 1 52 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 25 lbs. per acre. Can be sown with rye. 
Spring Vetch (Vicia sativa). Used with oats for producing 
spring hay. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS. 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 corn. 
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. 
MIIaliET, 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 utilize the nitrogen of the air, adding 
it to the soil. Soy Beans should therefor© 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 
lescrlpton and current prices. 
Best for Hay Crop: Wilson, Kingwa, Laredo, Black Ebony, 
and Virginia. 
Other Varieties: Manchu, Mandell, Hollybrook, Illini 
Itosan, Scioto, Dunfield, and Mammoth Yellow. 
COWFEAS, 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 Xnoculator. 
. 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 iy 2 to 2 
bushels if drilled; 2 to 2 y 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 ESSEK 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, 
2% 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 
Onio White Dent and Johnson Co. White Dent. Popular in Ohio 
valley. Large tapering ears, deep kernels slightly dented; 
medium late maturing. 
Hickory King. Yields 2 to 3 ears a stalk; large flat grains on 
small cob. Extensively used for green table corn or roasting 
ears, also for early ensilage. 
Eureka Ensilage. One of the best silage varieties, yielding 
record tonnage; late maturing. 
Red Cob Ensilage. A very popular variety; excellent for silage 
or green fodder. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
Woodburn Yellow Dent. An early maturing favorite. Medium 
sized well-filled ears; deep grains, small cob, exceptional 
yield. 
Learning, An ideal feeding variety. Medium late maturing, 
large tapering ears, 16 to 22 rows on red cob. 
Ohio Yellow Dent. A very popular heavy yielder. Medium early 
maturity, long well-filled ears even under adverse conditions. 
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.
