z or Emmer 



A Wonderful Grain 

 and Forage Plant 



This remarkable grain partakes somewhat of the nature of wheat 

 and somewhat of the nature of barley. It has been grown for centuries 

 in Russia, near the Caspian Sea. It was recently brought to this coun- 

 try by an emigrant, and has already attracted very wide attention on 

 account of its merits. The grain is intermediate between wheat and 

 barley. The chaff adheres to the grain when threshed, and is fed in 

 that condition to stock. It is adapted for milling purposes, as well as 



for feeding, making a grade somewhat similar to rye. The straw resem- 

 bles wheat straw. It grows large crops — 10 to 8U bushels per acre— on 

 comparatively poor soil, and it is said to give full double the crop of 

 barley. It resists drought successfully, and is adapted to Northern 

 latitudes. Sow in the spring or in the fall at the rate of two bushels 

 per acre. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., post- 

 paid. By ex. or fgt., not prepaid, pk., 50 cts.; bu. (40 lbs.), $1.50. 



Mammoth Russ 



856 Mammoth Russian 



Flowers 18 to 20 inches in diameter. Very 

 showy, but mostly grown for the large amount 

 of seed produced. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; 

 qt., 35 Cts., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, qt., 35 cts.; pk., 

 75 cts.; bu. (35 lbs.), $3.50. 



Sunflowers 



Sunflower seed is one of the best egg produc- 

 ing foods for poultry; the leaves make excellent 

 fodder, being relished by all kinds of stock. 

 The seed is a good food for hogs, and yields 

 a fine quality of oil. The stalks, which grow 

 very large, make excellent fire wood. It can 

 be sown any time before the middle of July. 

 Plant in hills, allowing 3 to 4 plants to each hill, 

 3J4 to 4 feet apart each way; or in drills, 6 quarts 

 will sow an acre. Cultivate the same as corn. 



8SS Black Giant 



This magnificent sunflower produces even 

 larger heads than the JIaminoth Russian, pro- 

 ducing more seed per acre than any other 

 variety. The seeds are short, plump, well filled 

 with meat, and have a thin shell. Specimens 

 have been grown measuring 6 feet in circum- 

 ference. It is something wonderful and is 

 extremely profitable to grow. An acre is good 

 in which to let hogs and cattle run in summer 

 lor shade and nourishment if not wanted for 

 seed. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 

 quart, 40 cents, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; 

 peck, $1.00; bushel (35 lbs.), $3.50.
