COVER CROPS FOR GREEN MANURING 
These add valuable humus to your soil, prevent erosion and improve appearance 
Domestic Ryegrass. This makes a wonderful cover 
crop. It is quick growing and forms a heavy matted 
root system and thick grassy sod. If you sow 1 Ib. per 
1000 sq. ft. from midsummer to early fall for green 
manuring you can turn the sod under early the follow- 
ing spring and add a lot of humus to your soil. To 
hasten the rotting down of the sod apply 5 Ibs. of 
Nitrate of Soda per 1000 sq. ft. before turning the 
sod under. As Ryegrass makes very little growth until 
after frost it may be broadcast right over your vege- 
table garden when you make your last cultivation. It 
also makes a good temporary lawn sowing 5 Ibs. per 
1000 sq. ft. at any time of the year. Lb. 40 cts.; 5 Ibs. 
$1.50; 10 Ibs. $2.80; 25 Ibs. $6; 100 Ibs. $24. 
Rosen Winter Rye. Here is another excellent crop for 
green manuring. If you sow, from August through 
September, 5 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. it will quickly produce 
a good growth for turning under the following spring. 
This will add considerable humus and generally tm- 
prove your soil. 5 Ibs. 90 cts.; 10 Ibs. $1.50; 25 Ibs. $3; 
100 Ibs. $10. 
Winter Vetch. This gathers nitrogen from the air and 
holds it in nodules at various depths in the root system. 
The plants provide a mass of organic material for 
turning under. Best 1f sown in early fall in combination 
with Winter Rye using 11% Ibs. of Rye and %4|b. of 
Vetch per 1000 sq. ft. Lb. 65c; 5 Ibs. $3; 10 Ibs. $5.50;
