LIST OF CHOICE FARM SEEDS FOR 1926. 41

some instances reaching 80 bushels per acre. Again and again 
during recent years there have been reports of crops of Blue 
Stem Wheat in North Dakota not worth harvesting, while 
in the adjoining fields Durum Wheat yielded close to 80 
bushels per acre. It is now considered a Wheat of the highest 
elass, ranking with Hard Spring and Hard Winter Wheat in 
its milling and baking qualities. 
WINTER WHEAT—For fal shipment we offer standard 
varieties of Winter Wheat—Turkey Red, Wisconsin Pedigree, 
Gladden, ete. Write for prices. 
RYE. 
Rye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by 
all our farmers. It is a paying crop, even on poor, sandy soils. 
It is also a very valuable crop with which to seed down 
grasses. 
Spring—This Rye is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing 
where winter wheat has failed. 
Wisconsin Pedigree Rye No. 1—A strain of winter Rye se- 
cured 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. A year or two ago the average yield re- 
ported by the members of the Experiment Station was 8.7: 
bushels per acre more than the average yield of common 
Winter Rye. Yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre are very 
common. : 
ROSEN WINTER RYE—Certified. This variety, developed 
from a Russian strain at the Michigan Agricultural Station, 
has been found in many conclusive trials in this and sur- 
rounding states to be in a number of ways superior to any 
other fall Rye. Yields run from 5 to 12 bushels more per 
acre. The grain is larger and produces more flour per 
bushel. The heads are an inch longer than common Rye. 
The straw is short and stiff—does not lodge easily. For 
best results only the purest seed obtainable should be sown, 
and to prevent deterioration no other variety should be 
grown nearby, as Ryes cross very readily. In fact, much 
of the so-called Rosen Rye now being offered is already 
badly mixed with inferior strains. Our seed comes direct 
from the Michigan State Farm Bureau and is certified © 
PURE ROSEN RYE. 
FIELD PEAS FOR FEEDING 
Canadian Field Peas can be very profitably sown along 
with oats and either eaten off the field by cattle or hogs, or 
allowed to ripen, when they can be readily separated by any 
farm seed mill. In this way two crops can be grown at the 
one cultivation. 
Sow broadcast, if alone, 3 bushels of Peas per acre (60 lbs. 
to the bushel), or in combination 1% bushels of Peas to 1% 
bushels of Oats, mixed, to the acre.

SPELTZ OR EMMER. 
Should Have a Place on All Farms. A Sure Early Cropper 
in Any Kind of Soil and Under AljJ Conditions of Weather and 
Climate. Grand Drought Resister. Withstands the extremes 
of heat and cold better than any cereal we know of. It is 
readily eaten by all kinds of stock, including chickens, geese, 
horses, cattle, swine and sheep, and its feeding qualities are 
excellent; is enormously productive and can be treated in the 
same manner as other grain. It outyields oats, barley, wheat, 
etc., is not attacked by rust or smut, and is not harmed by 
frost. Sow broadcast, using 60 to 80 lbs. per acre. Weight 
per bushel 40 lbs.

CORN 
The Corn we offer is shelled from selected ears, carefully tipped and graded. We recommend our Wisconsin grown Corn 
first of all as the best for planting in Wisconsin, but where silage is wanted we have always found Nebraska grown Seed 
Corn to give entire satisfaction. 
Our stocks are as represented and are in every way suitable for seeding purposes. 
SILVER KING—(Wis. No. 7). 
This Corn was originally obtained by the Wisconsin Exper- 
iment Station from Northern Iowa, and by a careful selection 
of the best and earliest ears we now have a White Dent Corn 
with large ears, small cob and deep kernels, that is suited to 
our Wisconsin conditions. 
The ears of this Corn average 8 to 9 inches in length and 
are always filled out to the tips. As a yielder it has no super- 
ior. A few years ago the Wisconsin Experiment Station re- 
ported a yield of 75 bushels per acre, and since then yields of 
over 90 bushels have been reported. These are remarkable 
yields when taking into consideration that the average crop of 
Corn in Wisconsin is only about 35 bushels per acre. Wiscon= 
sin Grown or Nebraska Grown. 
EARLY YELLOW DENT—(Wis. No. 8). 
This corn is known in Wisconsin as “Wisconsin No. 8” and 
in Minnesota as “Minnesota No. 13.” It is noted for its early 
maturity, and can be depended on to ripen anywhere in Wis- 
consin, or in the same latitude in other states. It has shown 
its great value as an ideal Northern Wisconsin variety. It 
makes a fairly large stalk growth, well clothed with leaves. 
The ears average 7 to 8 inches long. Wisconsin Grown or 
Nebraska Grown. 
GOLDEN GLOW—(Wis. No. 12). 
This variety, a cross between Wisconsin No. 8 and another 
deeper kerneled, heavier yielding variety, was introduced by 
Prof. R. A. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station a few 
years ago, and is especially adapted to the latitude of Central 
and Southern Wisconsin, being somewhat earlier than Wiscon- 
sin No. 7. In many extreme northern counties it has matured 
wonderful yields, and it is therefore one of the best yellow 
Dent varieties for general use. It is a golden-yellow Dent; 
ears average 7 to 8 inches in length, symmetrical and well- 
filled with closely-set deep kernels. Wisconsin Grown oF 
Nebraska Grown. 
MURDOCK YELLOW DENT. 
_ A pure yellow, heavy yielding Yellow Dent variety matur- 
ing in 85 or 90 days. The ears average well over 8 inches in 
length, are very uniform in size and shape, and are really 
very handsome in appearance. It is the earliest yellow Dent 
next to the Golden Glow and Wisconsin No. 8, yields almost, 
if not quite as heavily as Silver King, and is a few days 
earlier in maturing. It produces a strong, vigorous, heavily- 
leaved stalk, which makes it valuable for sileage purposes. 
Wisconsin Grown or Nebraska Grown. 
CURRIE’S EARLIEST OF ALL. 
The Earliest Dent Corn in Existence. Matures in about 
60 days from time of planting. Yields two to three ears to 
the stalk. Furnishes Fodder in the hot, dry summer months, 
Planted at the same time as other Corn, Currie’s Earliest 
of All will be ready for use in July. The stalks grow about 
6 feet in height, well clothed, with leaves with rich feeding 
qualities. It will not take the place of the large-eared, 
heavy yielding sorts, but where extreme earliness is desired 
there is no other variety equal to it. A highly profitable 
variety to grow in sections where even the earliest of the 
heavier yielding Dent sorts cannot be depended upon to ma- 
ture a crop. 
KING OF THE EARLIEST DENT. 
Color, bright golden yellow. The stalks grow from 6 to 8 
feet in height, and are thickly covered with leaves close to 
the ground, yielding a large amount of excellent fodder. The 
ears are medium in length, cob very small, closely set with 
long, deep kernels. This Corn is eminently adapted for plant- 
ing in the northern limits of the Corn Belt, and will mature 
a crop in 85 to 95 days. 
WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. 
The Best Corn for the Northwestern Stockman. ‘Unexcelled 
for Silage. It combines more solid merit than any Corn 
grown, being suitable for all kinds of soils, but especially 
suited for poor, thin soil, where it has out-yielded the well- 
known Leaming by at least 30 per cent. It matures within 
a few days of Golden Glow and produces much larger ears 
and a greater bulk of fodder. The grain is deep, flat and 
closely set together on handsome ears, white at the tip end, 
balance yellow. Ripens in 90 to 95 days. Fodder strong and 
stocky, well furnished with leaf stalks; height from 7 to 8 
feet. 
EARLY FLINT CORN. 
Canada Smut Nose Flint—A favorite extra early, golden-yel- 
low sort. Ears 8-rowed and very long. 
Extra Early, Canada Flint—For the North is an exceedingly 
valuable variety. The ears are long with eight rows of bright 
golden-yellow Corn. 
Longfellow Flint—A prolific early 8-rowed yellow variety of 
very handsome appearance. The ears are close, with large, 
broad kernels. 
Wisconsin White Flint (Sanford’s)—An excellent variety of 
good size; grain a dusky white color. The best and earliest 
of all the Flint sorts. 
CURRIE’S PEDIGREE RED COB 
FODDER CORN. 
This variety is grown in great quantities in the large dairy 
regions of Wisconsin, for early use. It is sweet, tender and 
juicy, has short joints, abundance of leaves, and grows to a 
great height, furnishing more than double the bulk or ordinary 
field Corn. 
Purchasers of one bushel Corn or more will please add 50c 
extra for each bag required. When two or more pounds are 
wanted by mail, add postage at Parcel Post rates. See page 1.
