6 FORAGE CROPS 

classes of livestock, as sheep and rabbits, have been 
poisoned under certain conditions by eating freely of the 
immature foliage. This seems to suggest that it should not 
be used for sheep pasture. We have no knowledge of this 
plant ever being injurious to any other classes of livestock 
or of its ever being injurious in the more advanced stages of 
maturity. It is used for both pasture and hay.

of Wagner Pea 
The bees work it much and reports indicate that it is a 
good honey plant. It begins blooming in June, contin- 
uing intermittently throughout the season. 
Ask us for reprint, “A Promising Forage Crop. (Wag- 
ner Pea.)” 
Seed, per packet, 20c; % pound, $1.00; per pound, $2.50; 
five pounds, $10.00; postpaid. It is best to inoculate the 
seed before planting, using sweet pea or vetch inoculant. 
A can of this we will include with each order for % pound 
or more of seed. 
SAINFOIN 
(Onobrychis) 
Sainfoin is the main source of honey in some European 
countries where it is extensively grown as a forage crop. 
It is drowth resistant and will grow in some situations 
where clovers do poorly. As a honey plant it has few 
equals, since the bees visit the flowers freely from the 
time of the first opening until the last have faded. It is a 
pretty sight when in bloom. It blooms in May and June. 
Honey from it is of fine quality. 
Seed, packet, 15c; % pound with can of inoculant, $1.00; 
2 pounds or more with inoculant at $1.00 per pound; post- 
paid.
