Nurseries (Horticulture) Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Nursery stock Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Flowers Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Vegetables Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Fruit Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Gardening Tennessee Memphis Equipment and supp. Dwarf Essex Rape Sand, or Hairy Vetch Sand, or Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa) has grown to tremendous popularity in the South for hay, winter cover and soil improvement. It has the undivided support of every up-to-date farmer and every experiment station director. These men know what it has done for them and what it can do for you. Hairy Vetch is a winter annual, behaving like winter wheat. But, to get the best results it must have inoculation when it is sown on land for the first time. September is the best month for planting, but sowing may be done from August to November. If sown alone use 50 pounds per acre. As a rule, however, it is best to sow with a small grain crop—oats, winter wheat, or rye. Rye is the favorite. One of our prominent farm weeklies recounts an individual case in Tennessee where a poor, red clay soil was seeded at the rate of one bushel of rye and 10 pounds of vetch and turned under in June. A crop of cowpeas was then sowed and turned under in the fall, and the useless field was made rich enough for strawberries. If you haven't tried vetch, now is the time to start. 1 lb. 35c, post paid. Spring Vetch Spring Vetch (Vicia Sativa) is better for spring sowing than Winter Vetch, another good soil improver. Plant 50 pounds per acre. 1 lb .30c, post paid. It makes a large and quick growth and is SCHWILL'S BUCKWHEAT Japanese Buckwheat. This is the best variety of buckwheat we can recommend. Sown the same day as Silver Hull, it will ripen later, but the yield will be almost double. The kernel are nearly twice the size of ordinary buckwheat and the plant is much stronger. Sow in April, May or June, 50 pounds to the acre. 1 lb. 25c, post paid. Silver Hull Buckwheat The grain of this type is plum
