AUTUMN TRANSPLANTING OF PAEONIES 



rather than spring transplanting, is more favorable to their successful growth. If planted as soon as possible after September 15, they will have become 

 thoroughly established by the time freezing weather sets in, and will be ready to bloom the following year. Do not plant too deep. This is a frequent 

 cause of unsatisfactory flowering. The crowns should be but 2 inches below the surface.

Choice Farm Seeds for Fall Sowing 



SAND, HAIRY OR WINTER VETCH. 



Vicia Villosa (Sandwicken) — Withstands our Northwestern winters. 

 Hardier than Winter Wheat. Owing to its remarkable earliness and 

 great feeding qualities, no dairy farmer or hog raiser can afford to be 

 without it. Hogs, sheep, cattle and horses eat it with great relish. 

 Sowings made in September prevent soil washing in winter and will 

 furnish a heavy crop of green fodder by the end of April, and, after 

 cutting, a second crop, which may be eaten off by stock or turned under 

 as green manure. Fall pasture 40 to 50 days after sowing. Sow 30 

 to 60 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25; 50 lbs., $11.15; 

 100 lbs., $20.00. 



WINTER WHEAT. 



Turkey Red (Bearded) — This wheat, possibly the best known of all 

 winter wheats throughout the Northwest, is remarkable for its hardi- 

 ness. It is a sure cropper and wonderfully productive. Peck. 55c; 

 bushel, $1.90. 



WINTER RYE. 



Wisconsin Pedigree Rye — A strain of winter rye secured after a 

 dozen years of the most careful selective breeding at the Wisconsin 

 Experiment Station. The straw is very long, strong and stiff, not 

 lodging readily even on rich soils; the kernel is uniformly very large 

 and plump, heads of unusual length and from numerous comparative 

 tests the yield is 7 to 12 bushels per acre more than from common 

 rye. Peck, 50c: bushel, $1.75. 



TIMOTHY. 



Thoroughly recleaned seed. Our stock is as bright and plump as we have 

 ever seen. Per bushel (45 lbs.), $4.20; 100 lbs., $9.00. 



Prices of all Seeds on this page subject to market fluctuations. Seamless bags, 20c extra 



CLOVERS.

ALFALFA.

 be without it. Sow 20 lbs. per acre.

BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER. 



An exceedingly well-known Clover whose forage value has until quite re- 

 cently not been properly appreciated. Stock do not take to it readily 

 at first, but soon learn to like it and thereafter eat it greedily. Sow 

 10 to 20 lbs. per acre. 



Hulled Seed — Per lb. 35c (by mail, 1 lb. 45c); per bushel (60 lbs.) 

 $17.35; per 100 lbs. $28.50. 



WILD RICE.

 does not retain its vitality well until spring. Sow broadcast in water 

 from 6 inches to 6 feet deep, with a mud bottom. Previous to sowing, 

 sink the seed in bags in water over night to soak it thoroughly. 

 Per lb., 25c; (by mail, 35c); 10 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., $20.00.
