 some instances reachiiigr SO bushels per acre. Again and again 

 during recent vears there ha>e b(>en reports of crops of Blue 

 Stem Wlieat in North Dakota not wortli liarvesting, while 

 in the adjoining- fields Durum Wheat yielded close to SO 

 bushels per acre. It is now considered a Wheat of the highest . 

 class, ranking- with Hard Spring- and Hard Winter Wheat in 

 its milling- and liaking qualities. 



AVINTKR AA'IIK.VT — For fall shipment we offer standard 

 varieties of Winter Wheat — Tiiiiltoy He<l, AVi.sooiisiii Peilig-ree, 

 Gladden, etc. 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. 



SpriiiK — This Rve is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing 

 where winter wheat has failed. Peck 70c; bushel $2.60. 



Wisconsin PediKreo Rye Xo. 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 line, heavy yielding sort. The straw is very long, 

 strong and stiff, not lodging readily even on rich soils, 

 the kernel is uniform^- ver>- 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. 



ROSE^ AVI.\TER RVE — Certified. This variety, developed 

 from a Russian strain at the Micliigan 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 inore per 

 acre. The g-rain is larger and produces more flour per 



bushel. The heads are an inch longer than common Rye. 

 The straw is short and stiff — docs not lodge easily. For 

 best results only the pui-est 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. 



FIEI.,I> PEAS FOR FEEDING 

 Canadian Field Peas can be very profitably sown along 



with oats and either eaten off the field liy 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 V2 bushels of Peas to iy2 



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 All Condition.s 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 liave 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 '-areful 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 s.go 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 consider.ation that the average crop of 

 Corn in Wisconsin is only about 35 busliels per acre. AViscon- 

 sin Gro%vn Or Nebraska Gro^vn. 



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 S inches long. AVisconsin Gro«-n or 

 Nebraska Gro«n. 



GOLDEN GLOW— (Wis. No. 12). 



This variety, a cross between Wisconsin No. S 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 AA'isconsin, 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-yello-w Dent; 

 ears average 7 to 8 inches in length, symmetrical and well- 

 filled with closely-set deep kernels. Wisconsin Grown or 

 Xebra.ska Gro^vn. 



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 Gro«n or Nel>ra.ska Grown. 



CURRIE'S EARLIEST OF ALL. 



The Earliest Dent Corn in E.vistence. Jlatures in about 

 60 day.s from time of plantin)s;. Yields two to three ears to 

 the stalk. Furnishes Fodder in the hot, dry su.ninier 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. Xrnexcelled 

 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 licaming 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. Tlie 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. 



AVisconsin 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 of ordinary 

 held Corn. Peck 45c; bushel .$1.50. Prices sub,1ect to change 

 >vitliout notice. 



Purchasers of one bushel Corn or more will please add 4,"5c 

 extra for each bag required. When two or more pounds are 

 wanted b.v mail, add postage at Parcel Post rates. See page 1.
