 quality and more pro- 

 ductive; can be success- 

 fully grown in any lati- 

 tude, and is now being 

 largely sown in the Mid- 

 dle States in place of 

 oats, being a much more 

 profitable crop, on ac- 

 count of the production 

 of nearly four times the 

 sti'aw, and also as a 

 "catch" crop where 

 winter grain has failed. 

 The straw is equally as 

 valuable as that of the 

 fall or winter rye, stand- 

 ing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. 

 Produces 30 to 40 busliel.s 

 of grain per acre. As it 

 does not stool like win- 

 ter rye, not less than 

 two bushels to the acre 

 should be sown. Pkt.,

Speltz, or Emmer 



( Trilicum Spelta. ) 



A Wonderful Grain from Russia 



This grain has been grown for centuries in Russia, near 

 the Caspian Sea. It was recently brought to this country by 

 an emigrant, and has already attracted very wide attention 

 on account of its successful cultivation in the Northwestei'n 

 States. The grain is intermediate between wheat and barley, 

 and is readily eaten by all kinds of slock. It is adapted for 

 milling purposes, as well as for feeding, making a grade of 

 flo\ir somewhat similar to rye. The straw resembles wheat 

 straw. It grows large crops — 40 to 80 bushels per acre — on 

 poor lands, stony ground and open prairies, and will give 

 <l(>uble the crop of oats or barley. It resists drought success- 

 fully, and is adapted to droughty sections and Northern lati- 

 ludes. Drill at the rate of 3 bushels per acre. Pkt., 5c.; lb., 

 o'lc; 31bs.,75o .postpaid; by freight or express, qt. ,15c.; peck,
