Steckler’s Red Rust Proof Oats. 
STECELER’S BED RUST PROOF OATS. 
—in the South Atlantic and Gulf States 
Red Rust Proof Oats have attained a prom- 
inent place in farming operations. 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 Octo- 
ber to March. They are also preferred for 
sowing on low grounds. and on land where 
other varieties seem inclined to rust. Peck, 
£Oc.; bu., $1.75; 5 bu. sack, $10.50, not pre- 
paid. 
EARLY WINTER TURF 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 ib. 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 


J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 
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 Ib., $1.25, postpaid; 
10 lbs., $10.00, 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, 1b., 40c., postpaid; % bu., 
$8.50; 60 lb. bu., $16.00, 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 Ib., 25c., postpaid; 1% bu., 
$1.75; 48 lb. bu., $3.00, not prepaid. 
CHUFAS. 
Earth Almonds or Chufa Nuts. 
A species of ground nut forming an 
abundance of small tubers on its roots, but 
near the surface. They are easily har- 
vested and furnish one of the most valu- 
able fattening feeds for hogs and poultry. 
Plant from March to June in rows 2 to 3 
feet apart, dropping the nuts 4 inches 
apart. Give shallow cultivation. The 
tubers mature in September and can remain 
in the ground until needed. One peck will 
plant one acre. Price, 40c. per pound, vost- 
paid; $1.75 per peck; $5.50 per 44 lb. bushel, 
not prepaid. 

CASTOR-OIL BEAN. 
The plant prefers a rich, well 
drained, sandy or clay loam. Castor 
Beans are not milled or _ shelled. 
When beans commence to ripen the 
grower has to go through them every 
other day and cut out spikes that are 
ripe. Price, oz., 15c.; %4 Ib., 30c.; lb., 
$1.00, postpaid.
