CROTALARIA YIELDS UP TO 40,000 POUNDS GREEN MATERIAL PER ACRE 
CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
This is truly a marvelous summer cover crop, a yield of 40,000 pounds of green material per 
acre is not uncommon. Splendid soil builder in orchards, etc. Fine with corn planted in same 
rows when corn is planted, or in corn and other farm crops at last cultivation. 
It will greatly 
increase crop yields following it. It is not offered as a feed crop, or hay crop, though a nearby 
farmer tells us his mules ate it readily. But it is really too valuable as a fertilizer to feed. 
Thoroughly plow, disc and harrow the soil. Sow after danger of frost is past, when moisture 
is present, 10 to 15 pounds per acre broadcast or five pounds drilled in three-foot rows, using 
scarified seed only as with Sericea. Firm the soil immediately after planting to conserve the 
moisture, cultivate once or twice when planted in rows. 
EARLY CROTALARIA. Most desirable for planting in upper South since it grows more rapidly. 
Should be used more as a catch crop after oats or sown just before the last cultivation of corn, 
cane or cotton in the central and lower South. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $3.75. 
LATE CROTALARIA. Although it makes about a foot more growth than any other Crotalaria, 
averaging 7 feet high, and will yield 15 or more tons of green manure per acre, does not 
make its maximum growth as quickly as the early type. This strain should be used in all 
cases where early planting is possibl

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Grows Very Rapidly 
Quick pasturage for Poultry and All 
Livestock. Ready in 6 to 8 weeks. 
An excellent pasture and green forage crop 
for cattle, hogs, sheep and stock. It is high in 
feeding value, producing an abundant flow of 
milk in milch cows (feed rape to milch cows 
after milking, not before, to avoid slight cab- 
bage flavor to milk). Rape will grow 1% to 
3 feet tall—grows very rapidly—ready to use 
in 8 weeks. Prefers a rich mellow soil, will 
do well on most fairly good soils except sand 
or stiff clays, needs plenty of moisture to start. 
Plow deeply, disc well and harrow thoroughly. 
Can be sown with spring grain or in combi- 
nation with clover. Sow in drills 4 to 6 pounds 
—broadcast 10 to 15 pounds per acre, about 
one inch deep.

CHOPS 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 
Every hog-raiser should grow Artichokes, 
for they come year after year and hogs thrive 
on them. In the fall when they have matured, 
turn the hogs into the field, and they will feed 
on them all winter, except when the ground 
is wet or frozen. You grow them just as you 
would potatoes: Cut them two eyes to the 
piece and plant 2 inches deep, 15 to 18 inches 
apart in 3 to 3l/-foot rows. Requires 3 to 5 
bushels to plant an acre. Plant during March 
or April, the earlier the better; they stand con- 
siderable drought and extreme cold weather. 
Write for Price. 
CHUFAS OR EARTH ALMONDS 
The Chufa is a species of ground nut, most 
easily grown. Any land suitable for corn, cot- 
ton or peanuts should make a good crop of 
Chufas. Inexpensive to harvest as the hogs 
do the work. In the fall pull up a few plants 
for your stock to taste, and they will then 
go over the entire field and will attend to the 
harvesting. Plant from April until the end of 
May, in 21% to 3-foot rows, dropping 3 to 5 
Chufas together, 16 to 18 inches apart in the 
row, and cover 2 inches deep. Requires 1 to 
112 pecks to plant an acre. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib., 60c; 5 Ibs., $2.50; 10 Ibs., 
$4.50. 
BUCKWHEAT 
It is well adapted and may be sown in very 
early spring or late summer, maturing in 
about two months. It is easily grown, desir- 
able and profitable for large grain yields, 
flower food for bees, and turned under it is a 
good soil improver. Where weeds are thick, 
buckwheat will smother them and put the 
soil in good condition for the crops that fol- 
low. Buckwheat makes a fine quality of 
flour, the kind that goes into the famous 
oder rong Cakes.” It’s great for poultry 
feed.

PEANUTS 
HOW TO PLANT PEANUTS. Prepare the 
ground well, laying off in rows 314 feet apart. 
Put 2 kernels to the hill, hills about 1 foot 
apart. Break the hull before planting. 35 to 
40 pounds to the acre. 
TENNESSEE LONG RED. Especially adapted 
to this section. The nuts contain three large 
kernels in each and are very productive. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., 
$3.00. 
SPANISH PEANUT. The best variety for for- 
age and fattening crop in the South. Early, 
heavy bearer; bushes growing close, so 
easily cultivated. Grains or nuts are small, 
skins of creamy white color, much sweeter 
and fine flavored and much more free from 
ig ” than the larger sorts. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., 
$3.
