Mandscheuri Barley. 



The Heaviest Cropper Known. The Earll. 



est and Strongest Strawed, the Best 

 Yielding and Plumpest Barley 

 Ever Introduced in the United 

 States. 



Mandseheuri — Is an early six-rowed va 

 riety, maturing in SO 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 wonderful va- 

 riety of soils. 



Mandscheuri, in a comparative test of 37 

 six-rowed varieties sown under the same 

 conditions, and with no attempt made at 

 getting above an average crop, easily out- 

 distanced the whole field by an average 

 yield of 15 bushels more per acre. 



Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin Agricul- 

 tural Experi- 



cultivation will 

 become general 

 throughout all 

 our Barley- 

 growing states. 

 The introduc- 



duction of the 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 Barley will 

 eclipse Manshury in size of yield and value of product. 



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

 Per peck 40c; per bushel $1.25; 5-bushel lots |6.00. 



HANNA TWO ROWED BAVARIAN BARLEY. 



AWARDED GOLD MEDAL AT THE WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS, IN 1904. 

 The Barley of Quality. Makes the Finest Beer in the World. Yields Heavier Crops Than Any Other. 



Its Feeding Qualities are the Best. 



Hanna barley has been used for 100 years by the noted brewers of Bavaria to make the highest 

 priced beer in Europe, and for many years it has been the favorite barley with the largest German 

 and Austrian brewers. Its great value has long been recognized by the brewers of this country, but 

 not until very recently has its growth been encouraged. Now the large brewers of Milwaukee and 

 other brewing centers of the United States are urging the farmers' to grow it because the time has 

 come when they must have it. 



Good malting barley should have a creamy white color, and one of the peculiarities of Hanna barley 

 is it does not stain as readily as other sorts. Every farmer knows the price of barley is largely con- 

 trolled by its color, and for that reason alone Hanna barley should prove exceedingly valuable. That, 

 however, is only one of its many good qualities, for it clearly outyields all other sorts, and weighs 

 more per measured bushel than any other malting barley. 



Hanna barley is unsurpassed for feeding, having a large meaty kernel with a thin skin. 



Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; 5 bushels $7.25. 



WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



It Has no Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yields. 

 Nothing to Equal it as a Hog Food. 



This remarkable Barley is entirely distinct in grain from other 

 sorts, being more like a very plump hard wheat, remarkably solid, 

 weighing over 60 lbs to the bushel. It is extremely early and on 

 this account is' invaluable in the northern tier of states where corn 

 does not ripen well. It is an enormous cropper, yielding from 

 50 to 60 bushels per acre of grain, possessing feeding qualities 

 superior to other Barley. It will make a much superior pork than 

 corn and as a grain to put on hog weight it has no equal. The 

 straw stools well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent 

 hav. Sow 2 bushels per acre. 



Peck 50c; bushel of 48 lbs. $1.75; 5 bushels $8.50. 



SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



A remarkably heavy cropping barley. Equal in feeding quality 

 to any of the bearded sorts. It is very hardy and can be sown 

 early. Matures about 10 days ahead of other barleys. On account 

 of the absence of beards it is much easier to handle in the thresh- 

 ing. 



Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels $6.00. 



RUSSIAN FLAX. 



When grown for seed without regard to fibre, sow from 2 to 3 

 pecks of seed to the acre. If fine fibre is wanted, sow from 1% 

 to 2 bushels to the acre, so as to grow clean, straight, slender 

 straw. 



1 lb. by mail 20c; peck 50c; bushel $1.65. 

 PEAS — Field Varieties. 

 New Grass or Spanish Field Pea — The dry peas are about the size 



of the common field pea; bluish in color. They are esteemed more 



highly than any other for soup, having a peculiarly rich flavor. 



It has' proved absolutely bug-proof. Sow 114 bushels to the acre. 



Quart 15c; peck 60c; bushel $2.00. When wanted by mail add 



15c per quart. 



FIELD PEAS FOR FEEDING. 



Canadian Field Peas can be very profitably sown along with 

 oats and either eaten off the field by 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, or in com- 

 bination 1% bushel Peas' to 1% bushels of oats, mixed, to the acre. 



Canadian White — Bushel. .. $1.40 Canadian Blue — Bushel $1.40 



Scotch — Bushel $1.50.
