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 beome 

 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 frequen 

 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. Per lb., 

 15c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 50 lbs., $5.50; 100 lbs., $10.00. 



WINTER WHEAT. 



Red Cross — A beardless variety unsurpassed in vigor of growth, magni- 

 tude of yield and milling qualities. Feck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 

 bushels, $8.50. 



Turkish Red (Bearded) — This wheat, possibly the best known of al 1 

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

 ness. It is a sure cropper and wonderfully productive. Peck, 50c; 

 bushel, $1.60; 5 bushels, $7.50. 



WINTER RYE. 



Wisconsin Pedigree Rye No. 1 — A strain of winter rye secured after a 

 dozen years of the most careful selective breeding at the Wisconsin 

 Experiment Station. It was developed from "Petkus," but the new 

 grain outyields even that fine, heavy yielding sort. 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, $1.50; 

 5 bushels, $7.00. 



CLOVERS. 



Medium Red or June Clover — Choice recleaned Wisconsin-grown seed, 



free from weed seeds and impurities (60 lbs. per bushel). Per lb. 25c; 



(by mail 35c); 10 lbs., $2.00; bushel $11.35; 100 lbs., $18.50. 

 Mammoth Clover — Recleaned. Per lb., 25c; (by mail 35c); 10 lbs., 



$2.10; bushel $11.65; 100 lbs., $19.00. 

 Alsike Clover — Hardiest of all clovers, adapting itself to all kinds of soils. 



Makes finer and better hay than Red Clover. Per lb., 23c; (by mail, 



33c); 10 lbs., $1.90; bushel (60 lbs.), $10.75; 100 lbs., $17.50. 



TIMOTHY. 



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

 ever seen. Per bushel (45 lbs.), $3.40; 100 lbs., $7.25. 



ALFALFA. 



The importance of this crop cannot be over-estimated. No farmer should 

 be without it. 



Genuine Montana Grown Seed — Most highly esteemed for northern 

 conditions. Recleaned and pure. Per lb., 25c; (by mail, 35c) 

 10 lbs., $2.00; bushel (60 lbs.), $11.35; 100 lbs., $18.50. 



Currie's Northern Grown — 99. S per cent pure. Per lb., 22c; (by mail 

 32c); 10 lbs., $1.85; per bushel (60 lbs.), $10.15; per 100 lbs., $16.50. 



Turkestan Alfalfa — Perfectly hardy. Withstands drought, heat and 

 cold. Well adapted to all soils, including alkaline. Per lb., 20c; 

 (by mail, 30c); 10 lbs., $1.70; bushel (60 lbs.), $9.50; 100 lbs., $15.50. 



WILD RICE. 



Zizania Aquatica — The seed should be sown in fall or early winter, as it 

 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, so it 

 will sink to the bottom at. once, thereby preventing loss from drifting 

 into deep water* or washing ashore. Per lb., 25c; (by mail, 35c); 

 10 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., $20.00. 



Prices of all Seeds on this page subject to market fluctuations. Seamless bags, 22c extra.
