"Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year than is now purchased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars. As a food for fattening cattle and dairy cows, peas are probably unexcelled. Much of the success which Canadian feeders have achieved in preparing cattle for the block has arisen from the free use of Peas in the ; — Year-book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. For the Northern States there is no ci-op of greater value than Field Peas, and is more neglected, which can only be attributed to a lack of knowledge as to its merits. Whether for fodder in mix- ture with oats, sown at the rate of two bushels each per acre, or the Peas sown alone at the rate of three bushels per acre for plow- ing under, there is no crop that we can so strongly recommend for CANADA WHITE PEAS. 60c. peck, $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, SI .80 bushel. CANADA BLUE. 60c. peck, $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, $ bushel. LARGE MARROWFAT. Of immense growth, yields heavily both grain and fodder, and we consider it the best of the Field Peas, whether for growing alone or in mixture with oats or barley. $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, $ bushel. THE MUMMY. We have much pleas- ure in recommending this Pea for soil- ing or fodder, either in mixture with oats or grown by itself. 60c. peck, $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, $ bushel. COW PEAS. One of the most valuable of the leguminous crops, and is a soil improver which can be sown in the spring or summer and plowed under in the fall. It has no superior, especially for light soils. Its capacity for gather- ing nitrogen from the air is not sur- passed by the clovers, and enables the farmer to dispense with buying that most costly ingredient for commercial fertilizers — nitrogen. $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, $ bushel.
