WHEAT. 
Blue Ribbon Wheat—A new bearded spring variety which 
has won a number of prizes, including the Milwaukee 
Chamber of Commerce Silver Trophy in 1910. It orig- 
inated with Mr. H. EB. Krueger, Dodge County, Wiscon- 
sin. It is a large yielder and very early, with plump 
kernéls. The straw is short and stiff. It never has 
shown any sign of rust, blight or smut. 
Peck, 60c; bushel, $2.25. 
Minnesota No. 169 Spring Wheat—It is a remarkably heavy 
yielder, and this, together with its excellent milling and 
baking qualities, makes it an exceedingly popular vari- 
ety, so much so that it is now probably grown more 
extensively than any other sort in Minnesota. 
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65 per bushel. 
Seotech Fife Spring Wheat—An early and very productive 
hard variety, possessing splendid milling qualities. 
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65 per bushel. 
Blue Stem (Velvet Stem) Wheat—A large yielder and a very 
popular spring sort in the middle states. 
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65 per bushel. 
Durum or Macaroni (Kubanka) Wheat—An exceedingly val- 
uable spring wheat for dry and semi-arid sections, with- 
standing drought far better than other sorts. Enormous 
yields are grown of it in the western states, sometimes 
reaching 80 bushels to the acre. 
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65. 
World’s Champion Winter Wheat—This wheat originated in 
Wisconsin a few years ago and won the World’s Cham- 
pionship at the International Exposition at Omaha in 
1909. It is a red bearded sort, possessing more good 
qualities than any other winter wheat we know of. 
Peck, 90c; bushel, $3.00. 
RAPE. 
Dwarf Essex Rape—No crop is easier grown and none more 
profitable for hog and sheep feed. Five pounds of seed 
are enough for an acre broadcast, and it is ready for feed- 
ing six weeks after sowing. One acre will pasture thirty- 
six sheep two months. It is an annual, similar in appear- 
ance to the leaves of Rutabagas, but taller. There is no 
danger of its ever becoming a pest, as it will not live over 
winter or produce seed in this country. 
Many growers are in the habit of sowing it with grain, 
using about 2 lbs. of seed to the acre, and it is ready to 
use a few weeks after harvest. Others sow it in corn at 
the last cultivation. The best way, however, is to sow it 
alone either early in spring or as a catch crop after grain 
is harvested or after an early potato crop. A good plan 
is to sow it in drills about thirty inches apart and culti- 
vate. By this method it is only necessary to use from 1% 
to 2 lbs. of seed to the acre. 
Per lb., 15ec (by mail, 
25 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., 
25e per pound); 
$7.00. 
10 lbs, $1.00; 
lf seed is wanted in new Seamless Bags, add 20 cts. 
for each bag required.
