RAPE 
_An excellent forage plant for poultry and all kinds of stock, espe- 
cially sheep and hogs. Grows with wonderful rapidity, usually being 
ready for pasturage in 6 or 8 weeks, and will thrive in almost any soil. 
Do not turn stock into a Rape pasture when they are very hungry or 
when the Rape is wet, for 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; it is often sown solely for this pur- 
pose. Sow \% inch deep from early summer until late fall, either in 
rows or broadcast. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre if broadcast, or 3 
pounds per acre in 3-foot rows. Lb. 65c; 5 Ibs. $1.95; 10 Ibs. $3.25, 
postpaid. Write for prices in larger quantities.

PEANUTS 
Our Peanuts are 
unshelled 
Treating Peanut seed with Arasan prevents much of the loss from 
rotting. Arasan increases the average stand of Peanuts by a third. 
It costs less than 10c per acre for treating. 
3/4, oz. 30c; 8 ozs. $1.25; 2 Ibs. $3.55, postpaid. 
Plant in May or early June, the dwarf varieties n 2 /4-foot rows and 
the running varieties in 3-foot rows, dropping one nut every 10 to 12 
inches in the rows, and covering 1 to 114 inches deep. The Peanuts 
should be shelled before planting. If large quantities are to be planted, 
a regular Peanut planter should be used.. When the vines are started, 
thorough cultivation must continue until just before the nuts begin 
to form. Do not cultivate too late in the season, for that is likely to 
injure the formation of the nuts. Do not plant on the same land two 
years in succession. 
Running Jumbo. (155 days.) Attractive large hulls and nuts. 
Does best on light, sandy soil. Write for prices. 
Mammoth Bunch. (145 days.) The hull and nuts are nearly as 
large as Running Jumbo. Write for prices. 
White Spanish Bunch. (135 days.) Early and prolific. Small 
hull filled with two nuts. Write for prices. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. A great improvement on the native Sunflower. 
Adapted to almost any soil and situation. Poultry are extremely 
fond of the seed and fatten more rapidly on it, perhaps, than on 
any other food. Plant 1 inch deep in rows 3 or 4 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. Sow 6 pounds per acre. Lb. 65c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.75, 
postpaid. Write for prices in larger quantities. 
WINTER or HAIRY VETCH 
After the most thorough tests, the best-informed farmers now 
consider Vicia villosa (Winter Vetch) to be 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 tt makes a growth 
of 5 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 1 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. 
AIl stock eat it with the greatest relish. May be cut very early in 
spring, thus releasing ground for other early crops. For an acre, sow 
30 pounds with 1 bushel of oats. Write for prices. 
TOBACCO 
All of our Tobacco is treated 
An ounce of Tobacco will sow 100 square yards, 
and produce approximately 10,000 plants. 
In making the seed bed, select a fertile piece of ground, which should 
be burned over or treated with some good weed killer, to destroy 
grass, weeds, insects, etc. The seed should be broadcast over the 
surface in February and protected by plant bed cloth to keep off 
tobacco flies. Set out the plants when large enough (about June 1) 
in rows 31% feet wide, leaving 3 feet between the plants. Constant 
care must be given to cultivation, suckering and keeping the plants 
free of worms. 
Virginia Gold. A vigorous, medium tall variety, with large stalk 
and broad leaves. Does well on any type of soil, including stiff 
land. When growing, the leaves have a yellow cast; they should be 
matured before primed. Pkt. 15c; M4oz. 60c; oz. $1.00; 4b. $3.00; 
Ib. $9.00, postpaid. ; 
Yellow Special. A popular, high-yielding, lug type bright Tobacco 
for medium and light soils. Has a large, easily cured leaf, held on a 
strong stem. Somewhat resistant to root rot and black spot. Pkt. 
15c; Y4oz. 60c; oz. $1.00; Mlb. $3.00; Ib. $9.00, postpaid. 
Yellow Special A. This Tobacco must not be confused with Yellow 
Special, for it bears little resemblance to that variety. It has be- 
come very popular in some sections of the old belt. Good size, with 
broad leaves of rather thin texture. Pkt. 15c; 440z. 60c; oz. $1.00; 
lb. $3.00; Ib. $9.00, postpaid.
