BiG CROP OF GRAIN! :: -:: 
THE HARDIEST AND EARLIEST 
GRAIN CROP GROWN 
This new Winter Rye is of European origin and 
is a great improvement on the older varieties 
at present in cultivation. The ear is long, broad 
and compact, holding on an average seventy very 
large, plump, heavy grains of splendid quality. 
The straw is of medium height, of remarkable 
strength, consequently it stands erect and does not 
easily lodge. It is quite distinct from all other 
sorts, the straw having, when green, a pronounced 
blue bloom. Owing to its full, broad heads, strong 
straw with large, thick, dark foliage, a field of 
Invincible has an impressive appearance. 
We would recommend every grower of Rye to 
give it a trial. 
eatly orders are requested. Write for sample. 
(See cut.) Price, 75c. per peck;.$2.50 per bushel 
of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $2.40 per bushel. 
GIANT WINTER RYE 
A remarkably heavy cropping Rye, having in 
fair tests outyielded many other varieties both in 
straw and grain. The heads average six inches in 
length and are filled from end to end with plump, 
medium-sized grains. The straw is of uniform 
length, strong and of extraordinary stiffness, resist- 
ing severe wind and rain storms to a remarkable 
degree without lodging. Price, $2.10 per bushel of 
56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 per bushel. 
WINTER RYE 
The variety most commonly cultivated, whether 
sown for grain, straw or cutting green. Price, $1.90 
per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.80 per 
bushel. 
THOUSANDFOLD WINTER RYE 
One of the most productive sorts in cultivation; 
the straw is tall and strong, with long, heavy heads, 
and stands up well. Especially recommended where 
Rye is grown more for the straw than the grain. 
Price, $2.00 per bushel of 56 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, 
$1.90 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. Price, $2.00 per bushel o 
56 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.90 per bushel. 
As the quantity of seed is limited, ~ 
_ it protects the young grass and matures two weeks earlier in the summer than Wheat. 
Rye is a valuable crop for either soiling, green fodder, straw or grain. Itis largely used by 
farmers to seed down with in the fall, and is considered preferable to Wheat for this purpose, as 
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. 
On light sandy soils where other cereal crops would be a failure, rye can be depended upon to 
produce fair returns. Because of its great hardiness and ability to grow upon poor land, rye is 
the best crop to plow under to increase the humuS in the soil; but this must be done early in the 
spring before the rye has made much growth, otherwise it would exhaust the moisture in the soil, 
to the detriment of succeeding crops. A field of rye which has made good growth in the fall is 
often pastured with cattle or sheep for a time, and also in the spring moderately. The stock is 
then removed and the rye allowed toripen. Rye is the only cereal crop, which may be thus treated 
without great injury. 
Sow (if alone) from 114 bushels to 2!4 bushels per acre. 
We are always pleased to hear from our farmer friends and offer any advice free on subjects connected with farm crops, etc.
