EDIBLE PEAS 
While sometimes used for forage and soil 
improvement, Black Eye and Crowder Peas are 
also used for the table, as they are well 
flavored, and usually bring good prices, both 
in the green and dry state.

CANADA PEAS 
60 Ibs. to the bushel 
These are valuable for stock feeding, and 
are being more largely used each season. 
They are planted at the rate of two bushels 
to the acre broadcast, being usually sown with 
oats, a combination which is extremely satis- 
factory. A bushel and a half of each to the 
acre is sufficient, the Peas, of course, being 
plowed into the usual depth and the oats put 
in afterwards with a harrow. Sowings may be 
made as early as February in ordinary years, 
and it is usually safe to put them in at any 
time up to the middle of March. They make 
a quick growth and produce an immense 
amount of the best forage at a time when 
feed is apt to be particularly scarce. When 
grown with oats they are very easily cured, 
and all kinds of stock are fond of the hay, 
the nutritive value of which is remarkably 
high. 5 Ibs., $1.55; 10 Ibs., $2.50, postpaid.

Culture: 1 oz. of Tobacco will sow 50 sq. yds., and produce approximately 10,000 plants. 
Rape 
RAPE 
An excellent forage plant for poultry and all kinds of stock, especially sheep and 
hogs. Grows with wonderful rapidity, being usually ready for pasturage in 6 or 8 
weeks, and will thrive in almost any soil. Do not turn stock into a Rape pasture when 
very hungry or when the Rape is wet, as it may cause bloating. The stock should 
have access at all times to plenty of salt. When young, Rape makes a delicious, 
tender, sweet salad, and is often sown solely for this purpose. Sow Y2 inch deep 
from early summer until late fall, either in rows or broadcast. When sown broadcast, 
it requires 6 to 8 Ibs. In 3-ft. rows, 3 Ibs. per acre. Lb., 55¢; 5 Ibs., $1.60; 10 tbs., 
$2.60, postpaid. Write for prices in larger quantities. 
SUNFLOWER 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN. This variety is a great improvement on the native 
— Sunflower and it is adapted to almost any soil and 
situation. Poultry are extremely fond of the seed, and when thus fed fatten more 
rapidly, perhaps, than on any other food. Plant one inch deep in rows three or four 
feet apart, leaving 18 inches between the hills, and cultivate the same as corn. 
When the seeds are hard, cut off the heads and pile them loosely in a, well-ventilated 
place to cure; they may then be easily threshed out and cleaned. For an acre six 
pounds. Lb., 50c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $3.25, postpaid. Write for prices in larger 
quantities. 
VETCH, WINTER or HAIRY 
After the most thorough tests, the best informed farmers now consider Vicia vilosa 
(Winter Vetch) one of the most valuable forage plants within the reach of southern 
farmers. Good authorities claim that it will yield from six to ten tons of green food 
to the acre, and its nutritive value has been determined to be much greater than 
clover. It makes good and easily-cured hay, and is perfectly hardy, thriving on poor, 
arid, sandy soils, while on rich soil it makes a growth of five or more feet. Any kind 
of grain may be sown with it, to support the vines, but rye or oats will be found more 
satisfactory, and we think particularly good results will be obtained from 20 pounds of 
Vetch with one bushel of Oats per acre, sown in September or early October. It is 
available for use a remarkably long time, as it is green through the winter and remains 
in condition until the middle of July, all stock eating it with the greatest relish. May 
be cut very earlv in spring, thus releasing ground for other early crops. For an acre, 
30 Ibs. with one bushel of oats. Write for prices. 
TOBACCO 
All of Our Tobacco Is Treated 
In making the seed bed, select a fertile 
piece of ground, which should be burned over to destroy grass, weeds, insects, etc. The seed should be broadcast over the surface in 
February, and should be protected by plant bed cloth to keep off tobacco flies. The plants should be set out when large enough (about 
June Ist) in rows 3 ft. wide, leaving 3 ft. between the plants.
