 on Hybrid Mediterranean, which has absorbed the best qual- 

 ities of both. The heads are large and full of beautiful, plump, 

 red grains. The straw is stout and stiff, thereby enabling it 

 to stand up well. This new variety is productive, and makes 

 crop of more than average yield. Write for price.

 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 winters. It is very close- 

 chaffed and holds the berry tight. Write for price.

 seldjm tails to make a good crop. Write for price. 



Improved Dietz Longbekry Wheat. 



WINTER, OR HAIRY VETCH. 



(Vicia Villosa.) 



The Winter, or Hairy Vetch, is growing in favor as a winter 

 cover crop, for which purpose it is well adapted, as it will stand 

 more cold than any other winter legume. It is also valuable 

 for spring pasturage and hay, and when turned under it n.akes 

 the best green-manure crop that can be grown. It thrives in 

 almost any soil, and the land will be greatly benefited even 

 when the crop has been grown for hay. The seed may be sown 

 any time from the middle of August until about October 1st, 

 either broadcast or drilled, using seed at the rate of one bushel 

 (60 lbs.) to the acre, and where the crop is to be grown for 

 hay, add one bushel of either Rye, Oats or Wheat to the acre, 

 to help in kee|)ing the vines off the ground, othetwise there will 

 be difficulty in mowing the crop. It is important to use the 

 genuine Winter Vetch (Vicia villosa) for fall sowing, as other 

 varieties will not stand cold weather. We make a specialty of 

 this seed, and will be pleased to quote price for any quantity 

 desired. Leaflet on Vetch free. 



CRIMSOX OR SCARI.ET CI.OVER. 



When sown early enough. Crimson Clover will make good 

 winter grazing for sheep and cattle, and being ready in sprirg 

 before pasturage, it may be cut and carried to the stabled stock. 

 It is also valuable for hay if cut before coming to full bloom, 

 cures rapidly, and is very nutritious, but its chief and best use 

 is as a fertilizer, its capacity for stooling and root formation being 

 very great, and like other plants of its character, gathers nitrogen 

 from the air and stores it in the plants and roots, thus becoming 

 valuable food for crops which follow. Wiite for leaflet on Crim- 

 son Clover, also sample and price of seed.
