FORAGE CROPS 5 
in the more advanced stages of maturity. It is used 
for both pasture and hay. 
The bees work it much and reports indicate that it is 
a good honey plant. It begins blooming in June, contin-

We have the best stock of seed we have ever been 
able to secure of this unusual, heavy producing, long 
lived forage crop. Seed, per packet, 20c; per pound, 
$2.00; 5 pounds, $9.00; 10 pounds, $17.50; postpaid. 25

It is best to inoculate the seed before planting, using 
sweet pea or vetch inoculant. A can of this we will in-

SAIN FOIN 
(Onobrychis) 
Sainfoin is the main source of honey in some Euro- 
pean 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, per packet, 15c. Write us regarding availabil- 
ity of somewhat larger quantity.
