Impkovfd Dietz Longberry Wheat. 



Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of the highest value. 

 It can be sown in this latitude as late as September, and still 

 later further South ; it is sown broadcast at the rate of 6 lbs. 

 to the acre, but is better drilled, in which case 3 lbs. to the 

 acre are enough. In a few weeks from time of sowing, sheep, 

 hogs, or cattle can be turned on it, and all reports agree that 

 they gain weight faster on this than on any other fodder. 10 

 cts. per lb. (by mail, 18 cts.); 10 lbs., 90 cts.; per bus. (50 

 lbs.), $4.00 ; per 100 lbs., $7.50. Add 15 cts. extra for each

SELECTED SEED WHEAT. 



Improved Dietz Longberry Wheat {Bearded). This 

 valuable early wheat will do well on all kinds of soil. 

 Sown either early or late, it always yields a large crop of 

 choice high-grade wheat, even after hard, icy winters. It is 

 a very close-chaffed wheat, and holds the berry tight, so that 

 it does not shell out during the process of harvesting, hence 

 a saving of grain over many other sorts. It is one of the 

 most hardy and prolific varieties, and millers say that it is a 

 very desirable wheat, and it always brings the highest market 

 price. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1.40; 5 bus., $6.50. Add 15 

 cts. extra for each 2-bushel sack. 



improved Fultz Wheat {Bald). This variety is more 

 widely known in the United States than any other kind, and 

 probably more acreage is sown of this than any other; grows 

 to a medium height, with stiff, strong straw, ripens early, and 

 seldom fails to make a good crop. Peck, 50 cts. ; bus., 

 $1.40; 5 bus., $6.50. Add 15 cts. extra for each 2-bus. sack. 



Jones' Winter Fife Wheat {Bald). The longest, 

 headed wheat, and one of the hardiest winter wheats known- 

 well adapted for all soils, grows to a medium height, matures 

 medium early, and should be left until fully ripe. Peck, 50 

 cts ; bus., $1.40; 5 bus., $6 50. Add 15 cts. for each 2- 

 bushel sack.
