GROWN FROfl PEARCE'S SEEDS. Tares or Vetches FOR SPRING SOWING-^ Vetches are grown for a forage crop. They can be cheaply raised; fed green, cured or ensilaged. In Scotland and England they are grown largely for this purpose, and where land is not adapted to hay, or is expensive, or pasturage is poor and costly, it will pay to grow Vetches as a forage crop. They are sown at the rate of one-half bushel to the acre, with about one-quarter bushel oats to hold them up, for, being of the same habit as the pea, they have a tendency to run. Bushel, $2.00. English Horse Beans. This is the variety of beans recommended by Professor Robertson, of the Domin- ^ ion Experimental Farm, to be planted with corn and sunflower seed for ensilage purposes. Planted in May, the beans grow to a height of 3 to 3^ feet, and when cut are in most cases green and succulent. Bushel, $2.00; peck, 75c ; pound, post-paid, 20c. Spring Rye. Distinct from the winter rye; grain of finer quality and more productive ; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being largely sown in place of oats, being a much more profitable crop, on account of the production of nearly four times the straw, and also as a " catch " crop where winter grain has failed. The straw is equally as valuable as that of the fall or winter rye, standing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high ; produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like winter rye, not less than two bushels to the acre should be sown. Lb. 15c, post-paid; bush. $1.00.
