Description

FLOWERING BULBS, PLANTS, ETC.
31
year. The inhabitants are mainly employed
raising cattle, and here it is this Alfalfa grows
and flourishes.
Withstands Extreme Cold Without Injury.
At the Experiment Station, Brookings. S. Dak..
with a minimum temperature last winter of 40
degrees below zero with the ground bare com-
mon alfalfa was killed while Turkestan came
through unharmed. At the Wyoming Experi-
ment Station the Turkestan alfalfa was exposed
to a minimum temperature of 45 degrees below
zero without harm.
Pkt.. 10c: 1 lb.. 40c: 10 lbs., $3.00: 25 lbs..
$6.75 : 1(H) lbs.. $25.00.
SAND yETCH.
Sand or Hairy Vetch.
Vicia Villosa. Sanbtnicfen.
This Vetch is beyond doubt one of the most
valuable fodder plants for the West and North-
western States, owing to its adaptability to with-
stand severe drought, heat and cold. The vines
are very similar to Pea vines, but are more slen-
der and much more thickly clad with leaves and
side stems, which furnish nice succulent feed.
Individual plants will make a ten-foot growth
before going to seed.
A sowing made in August or September makes
excellent fall pasturage for sheep or hogs ; the
crop in 50 days being two feet high. After close
eating it can be left to prevent soil washing
during winter and early spring, thus effecting
a great saving of soluble mineral fertilizers con-
tained in the soil. The Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington estimates the value of a
plowed-under crop of this Vetch as equivalent to
putting into the ground $16 to $45 worth of com-
mercial fertilizer to the acre. It is one of the
first plants to start into growth in spring, cover-
ing the ground with a heavy crop early in May
in this section.
Sowings may be made either in the fall or
spring using 30 lbs. of seed to the acre, either
broadcast or in drills three feet apart. To get
the best result from it sow about one-half bushel
of Rye or Oats Avith it, to furnish support for the
vines. On good rich soil it yields enormous
crops of green fodder, running from 10 to 15 tons
to the acre. It is also a remarkable grower on
sandy and thin land.
Per lb., 15c ; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $9.00.
Turkestan Alfalfa or Lucerne.
Medicago Sativa Var. Turkestanica.
Perfectly Hardy. Withstands Drought, Heat
and Cold. Yields the Heaviest and Rich-
est Crops of Fodder. The Best Clover
for Permanent Hay and Pasture.
The importance of forage crops has occupied
our attention for many years, and we are con-
stantly on the alert for new varieties. Turkestan
Alfalfa we believe to be the most important
introduction in late years. Its value can hardly
be estimated, but without doubt it will add
millions of dollars to the annual hay crop of the
United States.
Value as a Fodder Plant on Dry Arid Soils.
The climate of Turkestan is not unlike that of
our interior States, being far removed from the
ocean and surrounded by wide expanses of dry
land. The summers are very hot and long, and
in many places the evaporation exceeds the
quantity of moisture that has fallen during the
TURKESTAN ALFALFA.
Rape.— True Dwarf Essex.
Beware of the Kind of Rape Seed You
Sow. There is only one sort of any value in this
country for sheep feed, and that is the True
Dwarf Essex. Look with suspicion upon all
others, no matter under what name they appear.
We import our Dwarf Essex Rape Seed
every year from headquarters in England,
and know it to be genuine, and of the very best
quality, which alone is a sufficient guarantee,
worth much more than the price of the seed.
Sow in drills at the rate of 3 lbs. to the acre, or
broadcast using 4 to 6 lbs. per acre. One acre
will pasture 36 sheep for two months.
Per lb., 15c ; 10 lbs. for $1.00 ; 25 lbs. for $2.00 ;
50 lbs. for $3.50 : 100 lbs. for $6.50.

the above Seeds, if Wanted by Mail.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
