FIELD SEEDS 
Treat seeds of legume crops with Farmogerm and seed-grains with New Improved Ceresan. See page 63 
SOY BEANS. A valuable plant for bringing nitrogen into the 
soil. It is also excellent for green or dried fodder. Seed should 
be sown during the months of May or June, using at least one 
and one-half bushels to the acre when sown broadcast, or when 
drilled about one bushel to the acre. We handle two varieties— 
Wilson and Manchu. The Wilson is a well-known variety 
in Pennsylvania for an early hay crop. It has fine stems, pro- 
duces abundant foliage, and is also suitable for silage. The 
Manchu is a good all-purpose variety. Valuable for forage or 
hogging down. 
COWPEAS. One of the best soil enrichers; valuable also for hay, 
forage, ensilage or turning under. They should be sown in this 
latitude in May or June, using, when sown broadcast, one and 
one-half to two bushels to the acre. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS. Used for hay and pasture as well as 
soil-improvement. Sow as early as possible in the spring, 
either alone or with oats. When sown broadcast alone, at 
least two bushels of seed to the acre should be used, or with 
oats, one and one-half bushels of Peas and one bushel of oats. 
SORGHUM or AMBER CANE. Used principally as a summer 
fodder for cattle. Plants will grow rapidly and at least two 
crops can be cut each season. If carefully cured it will make 
an excellent dry fodder. The seed may be sown in drills about 
30 inches apart, at the rate of five to six pounds of seed for an 
acre. If sown broadcast, about seventy-five pounds of seed are 
generally used. 
WINTER or HAIRY VETCH. One of the best legumes, whether 
used for a hay crop, pasture, soil-improvement or cover-crop. 
May be sown in the spring or fall, using from sixty to seventy 
pounds of seed to the acre when sown alone. It is better, how- 
ever, to furnish a support for the Vetch by sowing rye, barley 
or oats with it at the rate of one bushel of grain and forty 
pounds of Vetch to the acre. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. Always used as a pasture and not for 
hay. Its growth is similar to turnip-tops, but heavier and 
taller. If seed is sown in May the field should be ready for 
pasture in July. However, seed may be sown either in early 
spring, summer or fall. If sown in drills, about five pounds of 
seed will be required for an acre; if sown broadcast, ten pounds 
to the acre. 
MILLET. A medium-early forage plant which should be cut 
while the plants are in bloom, or at least before the seed forms. 
Seed may be sown during the month of May or the early part 
of June at the rate of from thirty to forty pounds to the acre. 
SUDAN GRASS. Attains a height of from 5 to 9 feet and has 
great drought-resisting qualities. It is strictly an annual and 
dies each year, like millet. When sown broadcast, use sixteen 
to twenty-four pounds per acre. * 


LESPEDEZA (Korean Clover). This is a pasture or hay plant 
that is very popular in the southern states. It is quite exten- 
sively used for lawn purposes in sections suited to it. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS. A quick-growing grass that is 
valuable for pasture and relished by all livestock. For a 
winter cover-crop seed can be sown at the last cultivation of 
corn or after the harvest of an early crop. Broadcast seed at 
the rate of about twenty pounds per acre. 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata). A quick-maturing 
grass that is used for pasture and hay. It may be cut several 
times during the year. From thirty to thirty-five pounds will 
be required for an acre. 
BARLEY. We have the Oderbrucker variety. It is a stiff- 
strawed, six-rowed, bearded Barley, the heaviest yielder that 
has been introduced, both in grain and straw. Two bushels of 
seed will be required for an acre. 
BUCKWHEAT. A valuable crop on farms where the soil is thin 
or where other crops have failed. Seed may be sown during 
June or early July at the rate of one bushel to the acre. 
WINTER WHEAT. We can supply the leading sorts of Winter 
Wheat. Our stock usually consists of Leaps Prolific, Pennsyl- 
vania 44, and Forward. Write us for samples and prices be- 
fore seeding time. 
SPRING WHEAT. If your winter wheat happens to be killed 
by extreme cold weather, you can still secure a crop by sowing 
Spring Wheat in early spring. Marquis is the leading variety 
sown in Pennsylvania. 
WINTER RYE. Sow before the middle of November. About 
one and one-half bushels of seed will be required for an acre. 
SPRING RYE. Matures early and makes an excellent green 
food when cut, or will supply pasturage for several weeks. 
Distinct from the winter sorts, as the seeds are smaller. 
OATS 
PATTERSON. Medium early, with rather small, light yellow 
grains. The straw is fairly long but only medium stiff. A 
heavy yielder. 
CORNELLIAN. The kernels are long, rather slender, with very 
thin hulls. The grains do not make a very attractive appear 
ance, but on account of the thin hulls it has excellent feeding 
quality. A remarkably heavy-yielding variety. 
SWEDISH SELECT. The quality of the grain is unsurpassed. 
Very thick kernel and thin shuck. Does not have a long beard 
like common Oats. The straw grows to a medium height, is 
very stiff, and consequently seldom lodges. It has proved to 
be a wonderful yielder.
