SPRING RYE— A More Profitable Crop Than Oats 



Distinct from the Winter rye; grain of finer quality and more pro- 

 ductive; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being 

 largely sown in the Middle States in place of oats, on account of the pro- 

 duction of nearly four times the straw, 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, standing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 

 bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like Winter rye, not less 

 than two bushels to the acre should be sown. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 

 75c, postpaid; peck, 50c; bush., $1.40; 5 bush, and over, $1.35 per bush. 



SPRING WHEAT FROM THE NORTH 



Saskatchewan Fife. This wheat is pronounced by the great milling 

 kings of the Northwest the best. Fifty bushels to the acre is not an un- 

 common yield. Pkt., 10c; lb., 35c; 3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid; by express 

 or freight, peck, 65c; bush., $2.25; 5 bush, and over, $2.00 per bush.

This new Russian grain is intermediate between wheat and barley, 

 and is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. It is adapted for milling, as 

 well as for feeding, making a grade of flour 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 double the 

 crop of oats or barley. Pkt., 5c; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c, postpaid; by 

 freight or express, qt., 15c; peck, 50c; bush., $1.60.

 AND PRODUCTIVENESS OF STRAW. 



THE BEST OF THE MILLETS 



German Millet (Southern Grown) 



Southern grown German or Golden Millet seed 

 is far superior, both in quality and yield, to Western 

 or Northern grown seed. When properly grown 

 and handled, it makes an enormous yield of nutri- 

 tious feed, succeeding in almost any soil. Sow in 

 May or June, one bushel to the acre. Price varies 

 with the market. Qt., 10c; bush., 50 lbs , $1.75.

Valuable for green forage. Drill in 2 feet rows,
