SPRING RYE 



Distinct from the win- 

 ter rye, grain of finer 

 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 

 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, stand- 

 ing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. 

 Produces 30 to 40 bushels 

 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 (Tnticum speua> 



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 Northwestern 

 States. The 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. It resists drought successfully, and is adapted to 

 droughty sections and Northern latitudes. Drill at rate of 

 3 bushels per acre. Pkt., 5c; lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 75c, postpaid; 

 by freight or express, qt., 15c; peck, 50c; bush., $1.50.
