The Heaviest Cropper Known. 



BARLEY-MANDSCHEURI. 



A Great Money Maker for the Farmer. 



TBE GRANDEST ANO BEST YIELDING BA.REEY EVER INTRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. 



THE EARLIEST, STRONGEST STRAWED AND PLUMPEST BERRIED SORT KNOWN. 



IT CAM i OUT ON TO? IN A COMPARATIVE TEST OF THIRTY-SEVEN VARIETIES. 



A CHANGE OP SEED TO THIS VARIETY WILL DOUBLE YOUR CROPS. 



This grand Barley was introduced from Asia by the Ontario Agricultural College a few years ago, and is, beyond a doubt, the 

 grandest Barley ever inlroduced into this country, greatly outyielding even the justly celebrated Manshury, which up to the in- 

 troduction of Mandscheuri was regarded as the peer of all Barley. 



Mandscheuri, in a comparative test of 37 varieties, sown under the same conditions, and with no attempt made at getting above 

 an average crop, easily outdistanced the whole field by an average yield of 15 bushels more per acre. In Milwaukee and Waukesha 

 Counties, where our stock was grown for seed last season, it yielded extraordinary crops, double the quantity of any Barley growing in 

 the same sections. 



It is an early six-rowed variety, maturing in 80 to 90 days from time of sowing, very strong strawed and stools well, bearing large 

 well-filled heads of beautiful plump-berried grain, possessing malting qualities of a high order, and adapting itself readily to a won- 

 derful variety of soils. 



Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, is loud in its praises, and hopes that its cultivation will become 

 general throughout all our Barley-growing States. The introduction of Manshury is reckoned as having been worth millions of 

 dollars to our farmers, and we are confident, from the Agricultural Station reports and from our own experience, that this new Barley 

 will eclipse Manshury in size of yield and value of product. 



All intelligent farmers are aware that most cereals grown in our American climate rapidly deteriorate in quality and bulk of grain, 

 hence the necessity for the introduction of new varieties of pronounced merit. In Mandscheuri we have a variety which we 

 positively affirm cannot be equaled by any sort for quantity and quality at present on the American market. 



In order to thoroughly introduce this money maker to our farmers, we intend offering it at a figure which will place it within 

 the reach of all farmers. 



We offer specially grown seed from the genuine imported stock, thoroughly cleaned: 



Per Peck, 60 cts.; per bushel, $1.50, 2% bushel lots, $3.60; 5 bushel lots, $7.00; 10 bushel lots, $13.50. 



One acre of the best and heaviest Oats, yielding 100 bushels per acre, at the mxrket price of 25 cts. per bushel $ 25.00 



One acre of Mandscheuri Barley, yielding 100 bus. per acre, would fetch at market price of 50 cts. per bushel 50.00 



Difference in favor of Mandscheuri Barley $ 25.00 



This is Worth Trying for in These Hard Times. 



Manshury — The most popular variety of Barley grown. It is a 6-rowed sort, long heads well filled, straw strong, is later 



than the common 6-rowed and a very heavy yielder. Peck, 50 cts. ; bushel, $1.25 ; 2% bushels $2.75 



Scotch— This variety takes precedence of all others with maltsters; 6-rowed. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.25; 2% bushels 2.75
