RYE 
Used extensively for grain but mostly in our part of the country for 
cover crop. If you have any bare land, sow rye or rye and vetch (see 
below). Sown after crops in late summer and fall, it prevents leaching 
and soil erosion, through the winter and early spring. 
CORNELL NO. 76. This robust new variety is the best all round kind 
for grain or cover crops. We will have seed of this variety to offer 
after harvest in August. If you are interested, let us know and we 
will quote you when the seed is ready. 

USE—New Improved CERESAN 
for Grains 
\ || CERESAN 
Dust Disinfectant 
This economical seed treatment for barley, oats 
and wheat is recommended by leading authorities. 
Effectively controls many grain diseases. One-half 
ounce treats one bushel of wheat, oats or barley. 
Price: 4 Oz. 30c; 1 Lb. 80c; 4 Lbs. $2.70. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 
FORAGE CROPS, COVER CROPS, Etc. 
There are many plants suitable for forage and soiling that should be 
better known and grown more than they are. They are of great value 
both for stock feeding and improving worn-out soil. 
They are also of great value to provide emergency hay and feed crops. 
Quantities of Seed Required per Acre

edian Giass 
Produces immense crops of excellent hay on dry soil. 
Prices quoted here are subject to market changes and to our stocks 
being unsold. Purchaser pays transportation, except where quoted 
“Transportation paid.” 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Being a legume Canada Field Peas take nitrogen from the air and thus 
enrich the soil. 
Grown principally for the vines which make hay, equal to the best 
clover hay. Sow with oats and cut when the oats head out, but before the 
grain is ripe. This makes excellent hay for sheep, horses and cows. It is 
as easily cured as clover and will yield large crops. Sow 144 bu. of peas 
and 1 bu. of oats per acre. Treat peas with NITRAGIN (See page 88). 
Pk. $1.45; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $5.00; Bag of 100 Lbs. $8.25. Price for larger 
lots will be quoted by letter at any time. 
MILLET 
JAPANESE. One of the largest millets. Very large crops can be raised 
with this variety, nearly double that of common millet. The hay is 
relished by horses, cows and sheep. Even when allowed to ripen its seed 
and threshed out, the remaining hay is readily eaten by stock, so that - 
there is no waste. 
Sow about the same time corn is planted. It is usually sown broad- 
cast. Cut when it heads out, and before the seed ripens. Does best on 
sandy loam or medium light soil. 
Pk. 65c; Bu. (35 Lbs.) $2.00; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.50. 
Golden Millet. Makes a good heavy growth of hay suitable for cattle. 
Grows 244 feet high, has large yellow and brown seed heads. Sow in 
July for fall crops. 
Pk. 90c; Bu. (50 Lbs.) $3.10; Sack of 100 Lbs. $6.00. 
Hungarian. Matures a week or so earlier than Golden Millet, and thus 
can be sown later. It makes fine quality hay. Grows 2 feet tall. The 
heads are brown. 
Pk. $1.00; Bu. (48 Lbs. ) $3.25; Sack of 100 Lbs. $6.50. 
SUDAN GRASS 
A Wonderful Forage Plant. Sudan grass succeeds well on dry soil 
where other millets would not amount to anything. Immense yields of 
excellent hay are obtained, especially when the seed is sown quite early 
and two cuttings are made. If left to mature it grows 5 to 6 ft. tall and 
makes excellent ensilage. Cows, horses and sheep eat it readily and eat 
it up clean. Sow broadcast or drill in rows 20 to 24 inches apart about 
the time corn is planted, and cultivate two or three times. 
Sudan Grass can be sown as late as July but it will only give one 
cutting when sown this late. 
Lb. 35c; 5 Lbs. 75c; transportation paid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. $1.70; 
100 Lbs. $6.50; 50 Lbs. or more will be supplied at the 100 Lb. price. 
VETCH 
HAIRY or SAND VETCH. Vicia viliosa. A trailing plant of the pea 
family which grows 4 to 5 feet in length and has dark green leaves and 
small stems. It makes fine hay, but is used mostly as a cover crop. 
Being a Legume it takes nitrogen from the air and adds it to the soil. 
The best time to sow is from August 15th to September 15th. Mix 
the vetch with rye. (1 bu. grain and 30 to 40 lbs. of vetch per acre.) 
It is best to drill the seed in, but it may be sown broadcast if well 
covered. The rye helps to support the vetch vines and makes them 
easier to mow or plow under. On fairly good soil, vetch will make a 
great growth, forming a mat 2 ft. deep. Vetch and rye sown in corn 
after the last cultivation makes an ideal seed bed for potatoes. 
Pk. (15 Lbs.) $2.80; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $9.70; 100 Lbs. $16.00. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 
Rye and Vetch Mixed. After harvest next summer we can furnish Hairy 
Vetch and Winter Rye mixed at a lower price than for the two separate. 
Write next August for full particulars and prices. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS FOR COVER CROPS 
During the past few years, the use of rye grass for cover crops in the 
fall has proved very satisfactory. Sown at the last cultivation of corn, 
tomatoes or cabbage it makes a fine ground cover and also produces a 
mass of fibrous roots, so that a good rye grass cover crop turns under 
like good sod. See prices of Domestic Rye Grass on page 49.
