‘PURPLE VETCH 
This variety, though successful in our in- 
terior valley sections, is best adapted to the 
coastal regions, where it has proved thor- 
oughly dependable. There it produces larger 
yields than the Common Vetch and, though 
less winter hardy, shows better growth dur- 
ing the winter period. Purple vetch is very 
palatable for livestock of all kinds, as either 
pasture or hay, and has extremely high feed 
value. Sow 40-50 pounds to the acre. 
Ib. 25c, 10 lbs. $2.00. 
$8.00 per 100 Ibs. 
CANADIAN FIELD 
PEAS 
Of the same family as Austrian Winter 
Peas and suitable for the same soil and cli- 
matic conditions. Though less winter hardy 
than the Austrian, this variety grows better 
during fall and winter months, and matures 
earlier in spring. It is not easy to cure as a 
hay crop, but is excellent as an early spring 
pasture, especially for hogs. Because of its 
early maturing, it is also good as a cover 
crop to improve the soil for other crops 
which require early spring planting. Sow 
40 pounds to the acre. 
$7.50 per 100 lbs. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER 
PEAS 
The most winter hardy of all field peas. 
Prefers clay or clay loams, but will succeed 
on most types of soil providing drainage is 
adequate. Does well in combination with 
oats, rye, or barley which act as a support- 
ing crop. Growth is slow during the. cold 
months; rapid growth is made in spring 
weather. The most promising field pea for 
hay production in California. Excellent for 
pasture and cover crop purposes. 
$7.50 per 100 lbs. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
An excellent pasture crop for hogs, sheep 
and cattle, or as a green feed for chickens.
