ABEL’S FIELD SEEDS TIMOTHY. Most valuable of all the grasses, GREEN MOUNTAIN (Certified.) Medium- 
All Strictly Recleaned and Carefully Tested 
For Purity and Germination 
ALFALFA. U.S. Verified origin, sealed and 
tagged bags are for your protection. Alfal- 
fa has a remarkable range of adaptability, 
growing on soil varying from sandy to 
heavy clay, provided there is good drainage, 
fair fertility and a supply of lime, as it will 
not grow on acid soils. The feeding value of 
Alfalfa is unexcelled. Sow 18 lbs. per acre 
alone or 4 to 8 lbs. in mixtures. Inocu- 
lation of seed is recommended. 
SWEET CLOVER. Biennial white blossom is 
the commonest type of Sweet Clover, and 
the one which has come to the front so 
rapidly in recent years for forage, pasture, 
and soil-improvement. It will grow in al- 
most any climate and on almost any type 
of soil, thriving on land too poor for Alfalfa 
or Red Clover. 
RAPE 
DWARF ESSEX. This can be pastured 8 
weeks after sowing. Sow 6 pounds per acre 
broadcast, from April 1 to October 1. It 
produces enormous crops and is an ideal 
green manure. 50 pounds per bushel. 
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium incarnatum). 
Used principally for soiling or green manur: 
ing. Not hardy more than one_ season. 
Height 1 to 2 feet. Sow any time from 
June to October, 20 pounds per acre. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. The common Red 
Clover largely grown throughout the coun- 
try. This Clover requires well-drained soil 
and is especially suitable to rich bottom- 
lands or soils heavily fertilized. If cut 
early it is possible in a good season to get 
two or three cuttings. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. The hardiest of all Clo- 
vers; perennial. On rich, moist soils it 
yields enormous crops. Its greatest value is 
for sowing with other Clovers and grasses, 
especially with Timothy. 
LADINO CLOVER. A very large species of 
White Dutch Clover. More perennial in 
type than either Red or Alsike and used in 
pasture and hay mixtures where the after- 
math is to be grazed. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. A wild form of 
White Dutch Clover and a true perennial. 
On sweet soils it will survive indefinitely 
without reseeding. Use in the better grades 
of pasture and lawn mixtures. 
especially in the North. It is better adapt- 
ed to clay than to sandy soils and is at its 
best on moist and fertile soils. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A long-lived perennial 
that gets its name from its ability to grow 
in the partial shade of orchards and open 
woodlots. Its principal use is for pasture 
and hay under shady or dry conditions. 
SOY BEANS 
Black Wilson (120 days). An early matur- 
ing and the best all-round variety, being a 
heavy seed-yielder and producing high-quali- 
ty hay. 
Rye Grass, Perennial (Lolium Perenne). Im- 
ported. A deep-rooted, quick-growing grass, 
valuable as a nurse in mixtures and excel- 
lent for pastures and hayfields. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS. A winter annual, 
recommended for a winter cover-crop. Twen- 
ty pounds per acre sown broadcast at the 
last cultivation of corn will produce a real 
sod. The amount of root growth is sev- 
eral times that of Rye and helps to prevent 
washing and to improve soil conditions after 
a Rye-grass cover-crop is plowed. 
SUDAN GRASS. A quick-growing annual 
grass that has few equals as an emergency 
pasture during dry spells.

winning strain. Large, beautiful, show- 
type ear, 10% inches long; 18 straight rows 
of deep grain, wedged close on a medium 
red cob. Tip and butt covered with grain.

plant close in the row. Has beautiful solid 
ears, deep grain, small cob. 
LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP (110

colored grains with plenty of foliage. Stalks 
9 to 10 ft. Ears long and slim, 11 to 12 
ins., rows 12 to 14 on a red cob. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE. A great favorite for 
filling silos. Has a record of 70 tons of 
ensilage grown on one acre. Eureka is a 
smooth white Dent Corn with large kernels, 
while its fodder grows from 12 to 18 feet 
high. Cut ensilage when in blossom—watch 
the tassel. Better cut early than too late. 
U. S. NO. 13 HYBRID (115 days). A high 
yielding variety and a good silage producer. 
Stalks 12 ft., ears 12 ins., 20 rows of deep, 
yellow grains. 
PATRIOT 125 (105 to 115 days)—yYellow. 
Adapted in some areas as 129 and some- 
what farther north as matures about 5 days 
earlier. Being earlier, it is better adapted 
to the shorter season sections of this terri- 
tory and on medium to fair soils. Dark 
green fodder, stiff stalked and very wind 
and drought resistant. Soft starch kernels 
with high shelling percentage makes it a 
popular feeding corn. Ears carry 18 to 20 
rows and cobs are smaller than average. 
very fine.
