OATS. 
All Prices in this Catalogue are Subject to Market Fluctuations. 
Oats should be planted for hay making during early October, though they may be 
sown as late as the early part of December, also in early Spring, with the expectation 
of making a fair return. 
When they are to be cut for hay, it is best to cut when the 
grain is in milk, and that will be about the first week in May. 
While the time of plant- 
ing is given under each variety, oats are also sown successfully in the early Spring. 
STECELER’S LOUISIANA RED RUST 
PROOF OATS.—In the South Atlantic and 
Gulf State Red Rust Proof Oats have at- 
tained a prominent place in farming op- 
erations. This is particularly true in the 
coast region, where other varieties have not 
proved altogether satisfactory, but where 
the Red Rust Proof seems to be especially 
well adapted to the light, sandy soil of that 
section. They are vigorous growers, robust 
and productive, and have’ heavy heads. 
Planted from October to March. They are 
also preferred for sowing on low grounds 
and on land where other varieties seem in- 
clined to rust. Peck, 50c.; bu., $1.75; 5-bu. 
sack, $8.00, not prepaid. 
EARLY WINTER TURE OATS.—Stool 
more than any other variety; can be pas- 
tured the whole Winter, and are as hardy 
as Wheat. Claimed to produce more and 
heavier grain than other varieties. Sow 
from October to March. One to 1% 
bushels to the acre. Peck, $1.00; 32-lb. bu., 
$3.00, not prepaid. 
WILD RICE.—The best time for sow- 
ing is in the Spring, although seed can be 
sown any time. The seed should be first 
thoroughly soaked in water so that it will 
sink into the desired situation. It may be 
sown in shallow water, not over three feet 
deep, and from this depth in to the shore. 
A still day should be chosen for sowing so 
that it will not drift into too deep water. 
Wild Rice is unequalled as an attraction 
for wild fowl, for planting in game re- 
serves and small lakes. Sow 14 to 20 
pounds to the acre. 1 Ik., $1.00, postpaid; 
10 Ibs., $9.00, not prepaid. 
HAIRY, WINTER OR SAND VETCH.— 
Planted from August to November or in 
early Spring, with small amounts of rye, 
oats, wheat or barley, for a support after it 
begins to run, vetch makes a magnificent 
hay crop in Spring, coming in ahead of 
everything else except thoroughly estab- 
lished yields of alfalfa, and at the same 
time leaves added fertility to the soil. 
Crops like Vetch makes possible profitable 
live stock raising, which in turn means 
prosperity on Southern farms. Forty 
pounds, per acre during October and No- 
vember. Price, lb., 40c., postpaid; 4% bu., 
$5.00; GO-lb. bu., $9.50, not prepaid. 
SEED BARLEY.—(Southern Grown.)— 
The particular value of Barley in the South 
is for Winter and Spring grazing. Planted 
from September to December. Two bush- 
els per acre. 1 Ilh., 25c., postpaid; 1% bt., 
$2.00; 48-lb. bu., $3.25, not prepaid.

feet apart, dropping the nuts 4 inches 
apart. ‘Give shallow cultivation. The 
tubers mature in September and can remain
