TRAWBERRY phir fine A ANI we iV IN 2s ied selection we have fully maintained the large grain, to- tally unlike the small grain usually found on the market. This variety has superseded ail others and is now almost universally grown in preference to the common black and Silver Hull varieties. The kernels are at least twice the size of those of any other variety, and of a shape peculiar and distinct. .The color is also most distinct, being a rich dark shade of brown. ‘The straw is heavier, it branches more, and does not need to be sown as thickly as the other kinds. Flour made from it is greater in quantity and equal in quality if not superior to that of any other Buckwheat, and, as the yield shows, it is enormously prolific. It ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, and yields two or three times as much. (See cu?¢.) $1.40 per bushel. 10 bushel lots $1.30 per bushel. _ = MILLET. (Prices subject to vardéatzon.) Millets withstand droughts remarkably, generally remain- ing green when other vegetation is parched up, and being annuals of rapid growth, are valuable as ‘‘ stolen’ crops, as they can be sown and put into condition for hay in six weeks’ time, and can be sown after early crops have been taken cff, and should be cut green. Sown broadcast half to one bushel per acre, from May ist to August rst. JAPANESE.-—-A tall growing variety from which two crops can be obtained if the first is cut when coming into blossom. After being cut it stools out and grows rapidly, the second crop frequently being even heavier than the first. Sow in drills, 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre. Broadcast 12 to 15 lbs. per acre, Price, 20 cts. lb.; 10 lbs., $1 60; 100 lbs., $12 00. GERMAN OR GOLDEN.—Larger, but takes longer to mature than Hungarian, and should be sown in latitude of New York not later than middle of July. The seed we offer is specially grown for ; seed purposes and will yield much larger crops than the seeds usually sold. Price, $1.50 bushel of 50 lbs ; 10 bushel lots, $1.40 per bushel. HUNGARIAN.—Smaller but earlier than any of the other Millets, producing an excellent quality of hay. It is of such rapid growth that it may be sown in this latitude up to August 1st. Price, $1.40 per bush. of 48 lbs.; ro bush. lots, $1.30 per bush. CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER. The value of Scarlet Clover is now so thoroughly established that we have no hesitation in recommen- . ding that all lands from which crops have been har- vested during the summer and fall should be sown with Scarlet Clover for plowing under the following Spring. Authorities who have made a careful esti- mate state that plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre, and even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, the benefits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root formation will alone many times repay the cost of seed and labor. It may be sown among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at time of last hoeing, or after potatoes, melons, cu- cumbers have been harvested or on grain stubble and harrowed in. When sown in July and early in Au- gust, it has proved hardy as far north as Michigan and Canada. Inthe latitude of New York time of sowing may extend from July 15th to September ist, and further south even later. Sow 15 lbs. per acre.

TRUE DWARF ESSEX. i In the United States we have millions of acres of good land that annually lie idle or run to weeds the latter part of the season, after the grain, potato and hay crops have been harvested, a large portion of which might be made to produce one of the finest feeds imaginable, and in the greatest abundance, at a time when cattle and sheep are roaming through bare pastures in search of a scanty living. Rape may be sown broadcast at the rate of 6 Ibs. per acre and harrowed in, or the land may be thoroughly | harrowed and the seed sown in drills, 18 to 24 in. apart, at the rate of 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. /Under favorable : conditions it is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average one acre will carry twelve or fifteen sheep six weeks to two months. There F are several varieties of Rape, but care should be taken to procure the Dwarf Essex, which does not seed the same season as sown unless checked in its growth. In the Northern States it should be sown from May to Au- | gust for fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be : sown in the Southern States until September or October for winter pasture. In the latitude of New York, July or August is the best time tosow. Itsfat- |, tening properties are probably twice as good as those of clover, and for sheep I the feeding value of Rape excels all other plants we know of, fattening and 7 putting them in excellent condition for marketing without the addition of : grain or other purchased feeds. At the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, 128 lambs were pastured for eight weeks on 15 acres of Rape sown in July and showed a gain of 2,890 lbs., or at the rate of 3 lbs. per lamb each week. Tosecure the best results, the Rape should be sown in drills. Sow 6 lbs. per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. peracreindrills. 10c. ib., $5.00 100 Ibs. SAND OR WINTER VETCH. (Vicia Villosa.) Is perfectly hardy throughout,the United States, remaining green all winter, and should be sown during August and September, mixed with Rye, which serves as a support for the plants, or in spring with Oatsor Burley. | : It grows to a height of 4to5 feet and is the earliest crop for cutting, being nearly a month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the © 4 land in time for planting spring crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, 4 this is the forage plant to sow in the Nouiec States where Scarlet Clover winter-— § © kills, though it is equally valuable in the South. : : ¥ : It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than Clover, is eaten with relish, ~ and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. I Sow one bushel per acre with one-half bushel of Rye or Wheat. (Sve cut.) 10c. Ib., $1.25 peck, $4.00 bushel of 60 1ds., 100 Ibs. $6.00.. If by mail, add &c. per Ib.

The Henderson Ball-bearing Lawn Mower is superior to all other Mowers in the fellowing respects: The axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle work in “ ball-bearing” journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. These parts are made of the finest case-hardened steel, and will last for years, though we have proviced against wear should there be any—so that any one, by simply loosening one screw and tightening another, can force the cup and balls higher up the cone-shaped ends of the revolving shaft, thereby taken up all possible wear. This adjustment is so simple, yet positive, that it can be set to ahair. Our Mower is also built scientifically correct in other Tespects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. A 24-inch cut cuts the grass as easily as a 16-inch cut old style Mower. Your gardener will not now complain about your Mower being ‘‘tco large and a man killer,” if you supply him with a > Henderson Ball-bearing’’ Mower, even of wide cut The ‘‘ Henderson Eall-bearing ” is strictly a high-class Mower; we have not endeavored to make it ‘‘cheap,’’ but the best we know how—from the highest quality of iron and steel. which has enabled us to very materially reduce the weight. Our knives are sharp and cut like razors and will keep so if the under knife is kept tightened up to the tevolving knives, for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and in consequence, are self-sharpening. The Henderson Bal!-bearing Mower has drive wheels 11 inches high. a large, open, non clogging cylinder placed far enough back to prevent any *‘ kicking up” of the Mower when it strikes heavy grass. The spiral of the knives is correctly pro- portioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other Mowers, ‘The handles are braced and rein- forced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of the Mower is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with im- proved ‘‘ grips,’ which keeps the hands ina natural position, gives more power and is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip.
