Spanish
This is an excellent forage plant for light land in dry hot seasons. The tops are cut and cured for hay just before frost. The plants also set a large crop of the small nuts, which make an excellent fattening food for hogs, and the hogs may be pastured on the land after the hay has been gathered. The nuts mature much earlier than the larger Southern varieties, and crops have been grown as far North as Michigan. Two bushels will plant an acre. Per Pkt 10 cts.; pint 25 cts.
