COW PEAS.
Extensively used as a fodder crop in the South. Sow after the
ground is warm, either broadcast or in drills, covering- the seed from
2 to 3 inches. One to two bushels are required to plant an acre broad-
cast, and about half the quantity in drills.
New Era — An extra early variety.
Michigan Favorite — A favorite in many sections.
Price of either sort, per quart, 20c (by mail, 35c per quart); peck,

An excellent forage, also valuable as a soil enricher and renovator.

lb.); 10 lbs., 85c; 100 lbs., $7.00.
FIELD PEAS.
The Canadian Field Peas are very profitable when grown for fod-
der, besides being a valuable soil enricher. Sown with oats, using - 1%
bushels peas and 1% bushels oats mixed to the acre makes a splendid
soiling crop, relished by all kinds of stock. If sown alone use 3 bushels
peas broadcast to the acre.

FARM SEEDS
SAND OR HAIRY
VETCH.
An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding' enor-
mously on almost any ground. It is biennial, sim-
ilar in growth to field peas, only that the vines are
much finer, longer and more thickly covered with
leaves and side stems. It is not unusual to find
vines 10 feet long. As a soiling crop it is une-
qualled, and for spring and fall pasture its value
cannot be over-estimated. Seed sown in August
will produce splendid fall pasturage by the middle
of September, after which a good covering may be
left on the ground to prevent washing of the soil
during the winter and early spring months. It
starts into growth again very early in spring, mak-
ing a very rapid growth, and will be ready to pas-
ture again by the middle of May, or if allowed to
mature will yield a heavy hay crop in June. If
sown in April or May it may be cut for hay in
July.
It yields enormous crops on rich soil; from 15
to 20 tons of green fodder to the acre not being
uncommon, and on sandy, thin ground it makes a
remarkably heavy growth. For planting in young-
orchards and plowing under it possesses great
value.
Sow broadcast, either in spring or fall, using
from 30 to 60 lbs. of seed to the acre, sowing with
it about % bushel of oats to support the vines.
Per lb.. 20c (by mail, 30c per lb.); 10 lbs., $1.30;
25 lbs.. $3.00; 100 lbs., $10.50.
SOY BEANS.
A valuable forage crop, and an excellent soil
renovator. We offer only Northern grown varieties,
as the larger Southern grown sorts do not mature
in this section. The seed should not be sown until
the ground is warm; just after corn planting time.
Plant in drills 30 inches apart and three or four-
inches apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the
acre for forage, or if for seed use about 2 quarts
more.
Early Blaek — Of medium height, plants stocky and
prolific.
Ito San (Early Yellow) — A dwarf early variety,
producing a large quantity of seed.
Guelpli (Medium Early Green) — A general favorite,
yielding a good crop of forage.
Price of any of the above Soy Beans, per quart.
20c (by mail. 35c per quart); peck, $1.00; bushel
(60 lbs.), $3.50.
