LADINO WHITE CLOVER 
Sow it for a year round pasture. U. S. De- 
partment of Agriculture says: “Ladino is the 
targest growing form of white clover. It is 
similar to White Dutch but grows about twice 
as large. Introduced from South Europe. Many 
farmers cut it for hay in the summer and graze 
it the rest of the year. 
It is a long lived perennial. Its tap root 
goes down one to three feet. The stems run 
on the ground, taking root. One plant covers 
two feet. A sparse stand soon thickens into a 
dense even growth. The only parts available 
to grazing are the highly nutritious leaves and 
flcwers which rise 12 to 20 inches in great pro- 
fusion from the numerous joints. 
It grows on any soils, even shallow hardpans, 
but does best on loam or clay where moisture 
is plentiful. The seed is so small it requires a 
firm hard seedbed, planted shallow and covered 
very lightly. Our ‘seed is scarified, germinates 
over 90 per cent, requiring one- -half as much 
per acre. Inoculate and sow in spring or fall, 
5 lbs. per acre alone, or 3 Ibs. in mixtures. 
Don’t pasture until plants spread and start 
sending up shoots from the joints. Lb. $1.50. 
Wild White Clover. This Clover is suited for 
soils below the fertility standard and pro- 
vides a most effective and economical source 
of nitrogen. It is perfectly hardy. Sow from 
1 to 3 pounds per acre in mixture, preferably 
in the early spring. YJ Ib. 75c; Ib. $2.50; 
5 Ibs. $10.00; 10 Ibs. $17.50. 
Yellow Trefoil (Medicago lIupulina). Also 
known as Yellow Clover. Recommended for 
use in permanent pastures because of its 
ability to furnish pasture during the spring 
months. Lb. 35c. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
These are used for various purposes, chief 
among them being a very early green feed; 
when used this way they are sown with oats 
about April 1, at the rate of 1% bushels of 
Peas and 114 bushels of Oats to the acre, 
either drilled or broadcast. Peas may also be 
scwn alone at the rate of 3 bushels per acre 
and furnish excellent hay. 60 pounds per 
bushel. Qt. 25c. 
CORN, WHITE KAFFIR 
(For Seed) 
The grain is used for feeding pantry and 
the fodder for cattle. Grows from 4 to 6 feet 
high, the grain being produced on the top of 
stalk in the shape of a brush. It usually ripens 
after the first few frosts and produces enor- 
mous crops. Can be sown as late as July at the 
rate of 10 pounds per acre in drills. 56 pounds 
per bushel. Lb. 20c. 
COWPEAS 
They provide the most inexpensive method of 
bringing soil back to a stage of fertility, as 
they grow in the poorest kind of soil, leaving 
it very rich in ammonia. In the latitude of 
Philadelphia, sow from May | to July 1, two 
bushels per acre broadcast, or one bushel per 
acre in drills. For a large crop, sow the seed 
as late as possible. 60 pounds per bushel. 
New Era. A small, upright-growing, very pro- 
lific variety of early maturity. Qt. 20c 
Whippoorwill. Medium early, upright-growing 
variety more extensively used than any 
other. Qt. 20c. 
FLAX 
This is grown for the fibre from which linen 
thread is made and also for the seed which 
is used in the manufacture of linseed oil. If 
grown for seed, sow | bushel to the acre from 
May 15 to June 15. If desired for the fibre, 
sow 11% to 2 bushels per acre. 56 pounds per 
bushel. Lb. 25c. 
MANGEL-WURZEL 
Sow 5 pounds per acre in April and May in 
thoroughly plowed, well-manured soil, in drills

MILLET 
Can be sown as late as July 15. Also desir- 
able for green manuring, when it should be 
turned under when about 10 inches high. 
Makes an excellent green food for stock. If 
used for hay it should be cut just as it ma- 
tures. 
Hungarian. The seed produces hay that is not 
as fine in quality as Tennessee Golden and 
fully a foot less in height. It can, however, 
be sown some 2 weeks later. Sow 1 bushel

to the acre from April 10 to July 10. 50 
pounds per bushel. Lb. 20c. 
SEED OATS

Sow at the rate of 214 to 3 bushels per acre 
alone or 1% bushels with peas during April 
for best results. 32 pounds per bushel. 
Swedish or Washington. The long, erect straw 
is noted. for its ability to stand up in rough 
weather. Grains are very plump and nearly 
pure white. Qt. 20c. 
Treat your Seed Oats with Ceresan to 
control Oat smut and increase yield. 
See page 88. 

RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This can be pastured 8 weeks 
after sowing. It must be sown in succession, 
as the stock eats it close to the ground and 
it will not stand pasturing any great length 
of time. aad 6 pounds per acre broadcast, 
from April 1 to October 1. It produces enor- 
mous crops and is an ideal green manure. 
50 pounds per bushel. Lb. 35c; 10 Ibs. $3.00. 
Two-bushel seamless sacks, used in ship- 
ping farm seeds, in one-bushel lots and
