The accompanying illustrasion gives a good idea of a crop of Teosinte. Wiien planted the first of June, by the middie of Sept it has attained a height of lo feet and made a yield of more than 140 tons of green fodder per acre. It resembles Indian Corn some^yhat in appearance, but the leaves are longer and broader and stalks contain a. sweet- er sap. I know of no plant that will make such a faiass of foliage resembling Indian Corn in general appearance, and will excel any corn that can be grov.'n, and will give 2 or 3 cuttings in a season. I advise customers to plant it on good soil and you will be astonished with the result. It starts rather slow at tirst but after it reaches a height of 8 to ID inches its rapid growth is simply astonishing. It re- quires 3 pounds of seed to the acre, and should be planted in hills 2 feet apart each way. If you have never sown Teosinte you should make atrial of it this season, and I know the result will more than please.

This new va- riety will make two crops in one season in most of the Southern States. Cow Peas are great soil improvers as well as splendid for- age crops. They should be sown in May or June at the rate of i to 1)4 bushels to the "acre and ploughed as soon as they have made their full growth. The introducers ^gy this new pea will mature in any state'in the United States. They are very prolific and claimed to be supesior to any other variety offered. It is claimed that 90 bushels of clean peas have been produced from only 4 bushels planted. They are exceedingly ers: make long vines and are the earliest in cultivation. Give them atrial.
