SUPERIOR REGLEARES GRAINS. 
We were awarded the only GRAND PRIZE (the Highest Award) for FARM azd 
GARDEN SEEDS at the World’s Fair, St. Louis, 1994. — 
OATS. 
IMPROVED PRIZE CLUSTER. 
The Mearliest of All Oats—To maintain high- 
grade Oats it is’ necessary to have a change of 
seed every few years so, as to Keep up the stand- 
ard of excellence, for Oats grown on the same 
soil year after year gradually become light ana 
chaffy. We have for a’) number of years -been 
working up a stock of Prize Cluster Cats.from 
the parent stock, of which the director of the 
Iowa Experiment Station spoke so highly. In 
his report he places Prize Cluster, at the head of 
the list of all varieties tested, both for bulk of 
crop and weight per bushel. It is a white vari- 
ety, with very large heads and heavy, plump 
grain, straw of medium growth,.very strong. In 
our improved Prize Cluster Oats we claim to 
have the best, heaviest and thinnest shelled Oats 
in cultivation.

SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 
Several years ago Prof. M.A. Carleton of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, while on a tour- 
of investigation in Russia, noticed the superiority 
of oats of Swedish origin over all other sorts and he secured 
a quantity of them which he had shipped to Washington, D. 
.. and from there distributed them throughout the United 
States under the name of Swedish Select Oats. The Wiscon- 
sin Experimental Station secured some of these oats for trial 
with a number of other kinds. They were grown four_years 
on the University grounds, and Prof. Moore pronounced Swe- 
dish Select the most satisfactory of all the varieties tested, 
yielding exceptionally well, having a strong stiff straw, and 
very heavy grain (weighing 36 to 40 lbs. per measured bushel) 
with a thin skin. 
Swedish Select Oats appears to be well adapted to high 
land, the best returns being obtained on clay loam. Its 
root development is such as to enable it to resist 
drought better than any other sort. Peck 40c; bushel

Kind oi Soil. Grand Drought Resister. 
- This new grain has now been tried out for several seasons 
in the Northwest and also in some of the.semi-arid states, 
and with remarkable success; it withstands the-extremes of 
heat and cold better than any cereal we know of: ‘The United 
States Department of Agriculture endorses it as a grain to 
which farmers should pay great attention as a crop espe- 
cially adapted to withstand drought and heat and one which 
should become prominent for stock feed. It is readily eaten 
by all kinds of stock and its feeding qualities are excellent. 
It withstands great extremes of climate, is enormously productive, and can be treated in the 
same manner as other grain. Sow broadcast, using 60 lbs. per acre. Weight per bushel 40 lbs.

IMPROVED PRIZE CLUSTER OATS. 
Rye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. It is a paying crop, 
even on poor sandy soils, yielding as much as 35 bushels per acre, while on light rich soils it 
would not be too much to expect up to 60 bushels per acre. It is also a very valuable crop 
with which to seed down grasses, owing to the fact that it matures so early, giving the grasses 
a longer growing season after harvesting. 
Spring—This variety is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has 
failed; a mixture of this and Sand Vetches will furnish a lusty feed for cattle all through 
the summer. Cut for green feed. first and afterwards pasture the Vetches with sheep or
