SPRING RYE— A More Profitable Crop Than Oats 



SPRING RYE SHOWING HEIGHT 

 AND PRODUCTIVENESS OF STBAW 



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

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

 being largely sown in the Middle States m place of oats, on account 

 of the production 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 and Winter rye, standing stiff, 7 to 

 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of gram 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,
