praises, and hopes that its cultivation will become general throughout all our Barley-growing' states. 

 The introduction of the Manshury is reckoned as having been worth millions of dollars to our farmers, 

 and we are confident, from the Agricultural Station reports and from our own experience, that this 

 Barley will eclipse Slanshury in size of yield and value of product. 



We offer specially grown seed from the genuine imported stock thoroughly re-cleaned: 



Per peck 40c; per bushel $1.25; 5-bushel lots $5.50; 10 bushels $10.00. 



MANDSCHEURI BARLEY. 



The Heaviest Cropper Known. The 

 Earliest and Strongest Strawed, 

 the Best Yielding and Plump- 

 est Barley Ever Introduced 

 in the United States. 



Mandscheurl — Is an early six-rowed 



variety, maturing in 80 to 90 days 

 from time of sowing, very strong 

 strawed and stools well, bearing 

 large, well-filled heads of beautiful 

 plump-berried grain, possessing malt- 

 ing qualities of a high order, and 

 adapting itself readily to a wonderful 

 variety of soils. 



Mandscheuri, in a comparative test 

 of 37 six-rowed varieties sown under 

 the same conditions, and with no at- 

 tempt made at getting above an aver- 

 age crop, easily outdistanced the 

 whole field by an average yield of 15 

 bushels 

 more per 

 acre.

HANNA TWO-ROWED BAVARIAN BARLEY. 





AWARDED GOLD MEDAL AT THE WORLD'S PAIR, ST. LOUIS, IN 1904. 

 The Barley of Quality. Slakes the Finest Beer in the World. Yields Heavier Crops Than Any Other. 



Its Feeding Qualities are the Best. 



Hanna barley has been used for 100 years by the noted brewers of Bavaria to make the highest 

 priced beer in Europe, and for many years it has been the favorite barley with the largest German 

 and Austrian brewers. Its great value has long been recognized by the brewers of this country, but 

 not until very recently has its growth been encouraged. Now the large brewers of Milwaukee and 

 other brewing centers of the United States are urging the farmers to grow it because the time has 

 come when they must have it. 



Good malting barley should have a creamy white color, and one of the peculiarities of Hanna barley 

 is it does not stain as readily as other sorts. Every farmer knows the price of barley is largely con- 

 trolled by its color, and for. that reason alone Hanna barlev should prove exceedingly valuable. That, 



however, is only one of its many good qualities, for it clearly out- 

 yields all other sorts, .and weighs more per . measured bushel than 

 any other malting barley. 



Hanna barley is unsurpassed for feeding, having a large meaty 

 . kernel with a thin skin. 



Peck 50c; bushel"$1.50; 5 bushels $7.00; 10" bushels $13.00. 



• WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 

 It Has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yields. 

 Nothing to Equal it as a Hog Food. 



This remarkable Barley is entirely distinct in grain from other 

 sorts, being more like a very plump hard wheat, remarkably solid, 

 weighing over 60 lbs. to the bushel"; It is extremely early and on 

 this account is invaluable in the northern tier of states where corn 

 does not ripen well. It is an enormous cropper, yielding from 50 to 

 60 bushels per acre of grain, possessing feeding qualities superior 

 to other Barley. It will make a much superior pork than corn and 

 as 1 a grain "to put on hog 1 weight it has no equal. The straw stools 

 well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent hay. Sow 2 bushels 

 per acre. 



Peck. 50c; bushel of 48 lbs. $1.75; 5 bushels $8.50. 



SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



A remarkably heavy cropping barley. Equal in feeding quality to 

 any of the bearded sorts. It is very hardy and can be sown early. 

 Matures about 10 days -ahead of other barleys. On account of the 

 absence of beards it is much easier to handle in the threshing. 



Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels $5.50; 10 bushels $10.00. . 



RYE. 



Kye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. 

 It is a paying crop, even on poor sandy soils, yielding as much as, 35 

 bushels per acre, 'white on light rich soils it would not be too much to ex- 

 pect up to 60 bushels per acre. It is also a very valuable crop with which 

 to seed down grasses, owing to the fact that it matures so early, giving 

 the grasses a longer growing season after harvesting. 



Spring — This variety is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where 

 winter wheat has failed; a mixture of this and Sand Vetches will 

 furnish a lusty feed for cattle all through the summer. Cut for 

 green feed first and afterwards pasture the Vetches with sheep or 



- cattle. Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels $6.00 



Hungarian Winter — A remarkablj r hardy and strong growing variety, 

 outyielding all other sorts, and of^superior milling qualities. Peck 

 beardless barley. 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels..;........- " $6.00
