NEBRASKA GROWN VEGETABLE, FLOWER AND FIELD SEEDS. 4*. TEOSINTE-Of South American origin. Throws up from fifteen to thirty stalks from a grain, and on rich land reaches eleven feet in height, a solid mass of foliage.

Cut for green feed in any stage it is found good and wholesome, and the second and third growth comes promptly in equal vigor and abundance. Nothing equal to it for an enor- mous mass of forage. Plant in April, five or six feet by three, and cultivate as corn. Two pounds per acre. Teosinte. SPRING VETCHES, OR TARES. 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 or costly, it will pay to grow Vetches as a forage crop. Sow two to three bushels per acre. PEANUTS. Peanuts can be cultivated as early as potatoes. They yield largely and are a paying crop. Planted in April, they ripen in August, and planted as late as July 1st to 18th, they will mature full crops before frost.
