Suggestions For Growing And 
Feeding Dwarf Essex Rape 
PRs PsP Saal seo SC tae eae ee 
WARF ESSEX RAPE can be sown satisfactorily 
as late as mid summer, but early seeding 
makes the most profitable return in growth. Dwarf 
Essex Rape should be allowed to make a good 
growth before being utilized as pasture and care 
should be taken that the pasture is not overgrazed. — 


There is no danger of swine bloating on Dwarf 
Essex Rape and little danger to sheep, although 
the usual precautions should be taken, particularly 
when the animals are first turned in the pasture. 
Occasionally there is a little danger of heat blis- 
tering with pigs on real hot days when the Rape is 
wet. 
Where milk cows are pastured on Rape, they 
should be taken off several hours before milking to 
avoid any possibility of tainting the milk. While 
Dwarf Essex Rape will stand rather severe frosts it 
becomes foul and worthless after a heavy freeze 
and good farm economy is to utilize the late fall 
growth by turning in all the farm animals, cattle, 
horses, sheep and pigs. 
DWARF ESSEX ONLY RAPE 
SUITABLE FOR FORAGE 
There are several varieties of Rape, but only the 
true Dwarf Essex variety is valuable for forage. 
Over forty years ago Northrup, King & Co. was the 
first seed company to introduce Dwarf Essex Rape 
to the United States commercially. Seed supplies 
were formerly obtained from Europe and Asia, but 
now Northrup, King & Co. is growing its own sup- 
plies of true Dwarf Essex Rape in the United States. 
Some varieties of Rape are coming in from South 
America, but have proven very unsatisfactory.
