CANADA FIELD 
PEAS 
Swarf Essex Kape 
RAPE, DWARF ESSEX 
An excellent forage plant for poultry and all kinds of stocks, especially sheep and 
hogs. Grows with wonderful rapidity, being usually ready for pasturage in 6 or 8 
weeks, and will thrive in almost any soil. Do not turn stock into a Rape pasture when 
very hungry or when the Rape is wet, as it may cause bloating. The stock should 
have access at all times to plenty of salt. When young. Rape makes a delicious, tender, 
sweet salad, and is often sown solely for this purpose. Sow V 2 inch deep from early 
summer until late fall, either in rows or broadcast. When sown broadcast, it requires 
6 to 8 lbs., in 3-ft. rows, 3 lbs. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.50, postpaid.

SUNFLOWER 
VETCH, WINTER or HAIRY 
Winter Vetch (Vicia Villosa) 
After the most thorough tests, the best informed farmers now consider Vicia villosa (Winter 
Vetch) one of the most valuable forage plants within the reach of southern farmers. Good author¬ 
ities claim that it will yield from six to ten tons of green food to the acre, and its nutritive value 
has been determined to be much greater than clover. It makes good and easily-cured hay, and 
is perfectly hardy, thriving on poor, arid, sandy soils, while on rich soil it makes a growth of five 
or more feet. Any kind of grain may be sown with it, to support the vines, but rye or oats will 
be found more satisfactory, and we think particularly good results will be obtained from 20 
pounds of Vetch with one bushel of Oats per acre, sown in September or early October. It 
is available for use a remarkably long time, as it is green through the winter and remains 
in condition until the middle of July, all stock eating it with the greatest relish. May be cut 
very early in spring, thus releasing ground for other early crop. For an acre, 60 lbs. When 
sown alone, 30 lbs. per acre. Write for prices. 
These are very valuable for stock feeding, and are being 
more largely used each season. They are planted at the 
rate of two bushels to the acre broadcast, being usually 
sown with oats, a combination which is extremely satis¬ 
factory. A bushel and a half of each to the acre is sufficient, 
the Peas, of course, being plowed in to the usual depth and 
the oats put in afterwards with a harrow. Sowings may be 
made as early as February in ordinary years, and it is 
usually safe to put them in at any time up to the middle 
of March. They make a quick growth and produce an 
immense amount of the best forage at a time when feed 
is apt to be particularly scarce. When grown with oats 
they are very easily cured, and all kinds of stock are fond 
of the hay, the nutritive value of which is remarkably 
high. Pk., $1.35; bu., $4.50. (Write for prices on larger 
quantities.) 
Mammoth Russian. 
This variety is a great improvement on the native Sun¬ 
flower and it is adapted to almost any soil and situation. 
Poultry are extremely fond of the seed, and when thus fed fatten more rapidly, perhaps, 
than on any other food. Plant one inch deep in rows three or four feet apart, leaving 
18 inches between the hills, and cultivate the same as corn. When the seeds 
are hard, cut off the heads and pile them loosely in a well-ventilated place to cure; 
they may then be easily threshed out and cleaned. For an acre six pounds. Lb., 20c; 
5 lb., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.45, postpaid. (Write for prices in larger quantities). 
TOBACCO 
Tait’s Tobacco Seed is treated as recommended by the Virginia Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. 
Culture: 1 oz. of Tobacco will sow 50 sq. yds., and produce approximately 10,000 
plants. In making the seed bed, select a fertile piece of ground, which should be burned 
over to destroy grass, weeds, insects, etc. The seed should be broadcast over the sur¬ 
face in February, and should be protected by plant bed cloth to keep off tobacco flies. 
The plants should be set out when large enough (about June 1st) in rows 3 V 2 ft. wide, leaving 
3 ft. between the plants. Constant care must be given to cultivation, suckering and keeping the 
plants free of worms. 
Drtllnr This variety is adapted to a wide range of soil, but does best on sandy soil.
