i: Should be more grown than it is, especially in these days of low-priced 3 
wheat. The straw makes excellent rough feed for all kinds of stock. It 
; is alsoone of the best grains with which to sow down to grass in spring. 
NEW WHITE HULLESS. A valuable new variety, which should 
be sown at the rate of 142 bushels per acre about the time of sowing 
Oats. It is two or three weeks earlier than ordinary Barley, grows 
about the same height, and will not shatter in the field, even when 
very ripe. The grain is not unlike Wheat, and weighs about 60 
lbs. per bushel, instead of 48 lbs. as other Barley. For feeding to horses 
and hogs, when ground, it is unequaled, and is also exceedingly valu- 
able as hay, if cut and cured just before ripening. .75c. per peck, $2.00 
per bushel of 48 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.80 per bushel. 
TWO-ROWED DUCK-BILL, The heads are of great length, and 
when maturing become slightly curved; the grains arelarge and plump 
and brighter than any other variety of two-rowed Barley. The straw 
is stronger than the old popular Chevalier Barley, and has yielded 
nearly 70 bushels per acre. 50c. per peck, $1.60 per bushel of 48 lbs. 
VERMONT CHAMPION. Two-rowed, early, hardy and prolific. 
50c. per peck, $1.60 per bushel of 481bs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.50 per bushel. 
Is a valuable crop for either soiling, green fodder, straw or grain. It 
is largely used by farmers to seed down with in the fall, and is consid- 
ered preferable to wheat for this purpose, as it protects the young grass 
and ‘matures two weeks earlier in the summer than wheat. It is also 
extensively used for fall pasture when sown early and for cutting green 
in late spring and early summer, but when wanted for cutting it is best 
sown with the sand or winter vetch. 
SPRING RYE. A variety produced by planting Winter Rye in 
the spring for several years, and selecting the seed until the type was 
fixed. It is an excellent ‘‘catch-crop’’ where fall-sown grain has been 
winter-killed, and also for fodder and grain. $2.00 per bushel of 56 
lbs.; 10 bushels and upward, $1.85 per bushel. 
EXCELSIOR WINTER RYE. A variety from Vermont, that has 
never failed to yield at the rate of from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With 
the originator, a four-acre field yielded 52 bushels to the acre. $1.50 
per bushel of 56 1bs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 per bushel. 
WINTER RYE. The variety most commonly cultivated, whether 
sown for grain, straw or cutting green. $1.10 per bushel of 56 lbs.; | 
10-bushel lots, $1.00 per bushel. ; 
THOUSANDFOLD RYE. Said to be the most productive Rye in cul- | 
tivation; the straw is tall and strong, with long, heavy heads, and stands 
up well. Especially recommended where Rye is grown more for the 
3 straw than the grain. $1.50 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 
BARLEY. per bushel. RYE, GIANT WINTER. 
GIANT WINTER RYE. Unquestionably the heaviest cropping Rye 
in existence, having in fair tests outyielded all other varieties both in 
HENDERSON'S straw and grain. The heads average six to eight inches in length and BENDERSON:S
