FARM SEEDS 



WHEAT 



BL.UE RIBBON WHEAT — A new bearded spring variety 

 which has won a number of prizes, including the Mil- 

 waukee Chamber of Commerce Silver Trophy in 1910. 

 It originated with Mr. H. E. Krueger, Dodge County, 

 Wisconsin. It is a large yielder and very early, with 

 plump kernels. The straw is short and stiff. It never 

 has shown any sign of rust, blight or smut. 

 Peek, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 



MINNESOTA No. 169 SPRING WHEAT — It is a remarkably 

 heavy yielder, and this, together with its excellent mill- 

 ing and baking qualities, makes it an exceedingly popu- 

 lar variety, so much so that it is now probably grown 

 more extensively than any other sort in Minnesota. 

 Peck, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 



SCOTCH FIFE SPRING WHEAT — An early and very produc- 

 tive hard variety, possessing splendid milling qualities. 

 Peck, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 



MARQUIS WHEAT — The world's champion spring wheat 

 from the Northwest Territory. It outyields all other 

 sorts, and its milling qualities are the best. 

 Peck, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 



DURUM OR MACARONI (Kubauka) WHEAT — An exceed- 

 ingly valuable spring wheat for dry and semi-arid sec- 

 tions, withstanding drought far better than other sorts. 

 Enormous yields are grown of it in the western states, 

 sometimes reaching 80 bushels to the acre. 

 Peck, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 



WORLD'S CHAMPION WINTER WHEAT — This wheat orig- 

 inated in Wisconsin a few years ago and won the World's 

 Championship 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, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 



RAPE 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE — No crop is easier grown c.id none 

 more profitable for hog and sheep feed. Five pounds of 

 seed are enough for an acre broadcast, and it is ready for 

 feeding six weeks after sowing. One acre will pasture 

 thirty-six sheep two months. It is an annual, similar In 

 appearance 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., 15c (by mnil 

 lbs., $12.00. 



25c per pound); 10 lbs., $1.25; 100 



If seed is wanted In new Seamless Bags, add 20 cts. 

 for each bag required.
