DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This splendid crop has at last come into its own—larger and larger acreage 
being planted every year. The reason—it is a most excellent pasture and green 
forage crop for cattle, hogs, sheep and stock. It is high in feeding value, pro¬ 
ducing an abundant flow of milk in milch cows (feed rape to milch cows after 
milking, not before, to avoid slight cabbage flavor to milk). 
Experiments show that Rape is a more efficient fattener and more economical 
feed for hogs than Alfalfa, Clover or Blue Grass. It will stand more cold weather 
and last longer in the fall than any of the grasses. One acre of Rape will pasture 
8 to 10 sheep, other animals in proportion. Turn stock in when plants are 8 inches 
high. To avoid possibility of bloating, accustom stock to Rape gradually, pastur¬ 
ing after dew is off. Feed dairy cattle and sheep a full feed of grain for the first 
week or two before pasturing Rape, and provide salt at all times. 
Rape can be cut and fed green. Cut about 4 inches above ground, first time 
when plants are a foot high, just enough for a day’s feed at a time. When you 
expect to cut and feed green. Rape should be planted in rows and cultivated 
2 to 4 times. 
Rape will grow 1% to 3 feet tall—grows very rapidly—ready to use in 8 weeks. 
Prefers a rich mellow soil, will do well on most fairly good soils except sand or 
stiff clays, needs plenty of moisture to start. Plow deeply, disk well and harrow 
thoroughly. Can be sown with spring grain or in combination with clover. Sow in 
drills 4 to 6 pounds—broadcast 10 to 15 pounds per acre, about 1 inch deep. 
Sow from August through April. 
Seed Peanuts 
Prepare the ground well, laying off in rpws with a shovel plow; the rows 
should be 3*4 feet apart, and put 2 kernels to the hill, hills about 1 foot apart. 
One and one-half bushels of unshelled nuts will seed an acre. Crack or break the 
hull before planting. h i j i 
TENNESSEE LONG BED. Especially adapted to this section. The nuts 
contain three large kernels in each and are enormously productive. 
IMPROVED WHITE VIRGINIA. These are uniformly large, and when 
grown on light sandy land will produce nuts of that bright attractive appear¬ 
ance demanded by the best trade. 
SPANISH PEANUTS. Although not as large as other kinds there is no peanut 
grown that so entirely fills the pod or can compare with it in sweetness and 
flavor. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Jerusalem Artichoke 
Fine for fattening hogs. They grow just like 
Irish potatoes. Every hog raiser should grow Arti¬ 
chokes ; the hogs will harvest them wtihout cost. 
Plant in 4-ft. rows any time in March or April, 
dropping the cut pieces 18 inches apart in the row. 
They will produce 200 to 300 bushels to the acre. 
It requires 3 bushels to plant 1 acre. 
Chufas 
Earth almonds or grass nuts. Hogs not only 
fatten on them but the meat is sweeter than corn- 
fed. Inexpensive to harvest as the hogs do the 
work. 
Plant on light sandy soils from April 1st to May 
25th, in 3-ft. rows, dropping 2 or 3 Chufas 18 
inches apart. 
Chufas are easy to grow and make a prolific crop 
for hog raising. Plant 1 to 1% pecks to the acre. 
Spanish Peanuts 
Seed Wheat 
Coker’s Red Heart Wheat 
Strain No. 4 
Coker’s Pedigreed Seed Farms began 
work on Coker’s Red Heart Wheat more 
than 20 years ago and Strain 4 is their 
newest and best strain. Strain 4 is fully 
10 days earlier than Strain 1, and 2 to 3 
weeks earlier than Forward, Leafs Pro¬ 
lific and Fulcaster, and a week earlier 
than Blue Stem and New Gasta. Has a 
strong stiff straw and stands up well in 
bad weather. A very prolific and de¬ 
pendable yielder, resistant to smut. 
New Gasta Wheat 
A pure high-bred smooth beardless 
wheat, the kind you should plant both 
for grain and pasture. Gasta Wheat 
was developed by the Georgia Experi¬ 
mental Station. It is very prolific, both 
storm and winter resistant. 
Sow 1% to P /2 bushels to the acre in 
October or November. 
Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
Makes fine poultry feed, ensilage, and hog feed. Plant up 
to July 1st at rate 8 pounds to the acre. Plant and cultivate 
same as corn. 
Winter Rye 
Sow from August 25th until middle of November. 
Buckwheat 
Sow 3 pecks to 1 bushel to the acre. It can be sown so late 
as to prove a profitable second crop to follow early peas, 
potatoes, etc. Good pasturage for bees. 
Broom Corn 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN BROOM CORN. An excel¬ 
lent variety of good length; has fine straight straws. Sow 
in April, 1 gallon to the acre. 
ABRUZZI RYE. A distinct variety, far better than any other, in that 
it grows very much faster and stools much heavier, which means doubling 
the amount of grazing on an acre. You can start grazing earlier after 
sowing and keep it up longer. Three pecks to 1 bushel abruzzi plants an 
acre against 5 to 6 pecks of other Rye—this makes Abruzzi cost less to 
plant, yet you get more in return. 
Winter Barley 
Sow from September 1st to November 15th, 1*4 bushels per acre. 
BEARDED. The Standard for years in the South as a grazing crop and 
much relished by all stock. 
BEARDLESS, Bred from bearded and most of beards removed, usually 
about 85 percent beardless, which makes it beter to cut in dough stage 
for feed. Equally good for grazing. 
SCARBROUGH DWARP BROOM CORN. A new va¬ 
riety of Dwarf Broom Corn. The straw is erect, very 
straight and uniform in length. It always brings top prices 
on the market.
