 SUPERIOR CROPS 



BARLEY 



Should be more grown than it is, especially in these days of low-priced 

 wheat. The straw makes excellent rough feed for all kinds of stock. It 

 is also one 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 I'/i 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 are large 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 48 lbs. ; 10-bushel lots, $1.50 per bushel. 



RYE 



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. 



EXCELiSIOR 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 lbs.; 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 

 tip well. Especially recommended where Rye is grown more for the 

 straw than the grain. $1.50 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 

 per bushel. 



GIANT WINTER RYE. Unquestionably the heaviest cropping Rye 

 in existence, having in fair tests outyielded all other varieties both in 

 straw and grain. The heads average six to eight inches in length and 

 are filled from end to end with large, plump, heavygrains. The straw 

 is giant in length and strength and of extraordinary stiffness, resisting 

 severe wind and rain storms to a remarkable degree without lodging. 

 (See cut.) $1.75 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.60 per bushel.
