OATS, 



Grey Winter Oats. This variety has been thoroughly tested, 

 has stood the severest winter, is entirely rust-proof; can be 

 sown as late as November 1st. Bu., $1.50. Add cost of 

 bags (22 cts. ) for each 2-bushel. 



RAPE, 



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 10 lbs. 

 to the acre, but is better drilled, in which case 5 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 any other fodder. 12 cts. 

 per lb. (by mail, 20 cts. ) ; 10 lbs., §1.00; per bu. (50 lbs.), 

 $4.50; per 100 lbs., $8.00. Add cost of bags (22 cts.) for 

 each 2-bushel. 



RYE. 



Thousandfold Winter Rye. In hardiness and yield this 



variety stands foremost, will winter through severe seasons. 

 Straw heavy and stiff of a light yellow color. Write for price. 



SELECTED SEED WHEAT. 



Fultzo-Mediterranean Wheat {Bald). A cross of Fultz 

 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 

 a crop of more than average yield. Write for price. 



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 winters. It is very close- 

 chafed and holds the berry tight. Write for price. 



Improved Fuitz 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. Write for price.

CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. 



( Trifolium incamaium.) 



The Great Soil Improver, Early Green Feed, Grazing or 



for Hay Crop. 



Soiling, or early green feed, is important in the early spring. 

 As Crimson Clover is so much ahead of the pasture it can be 

 readily cut and carried to the stabled stock; but it will not 

 make a second crop in time for turning under for green 

 manure. 



Fertilizer. This is one of the best uses to which Crimson 

 Clover is adapted. Its capacity for stooling and root form- 

 ation is very great ; like other plants it gathers nitrogen from 

 the air and stores it in the plants and roots, which become 

 valuable food for crops that follow. 



Pasturage. When sown early enough to get a good start, 

 Crimson Clover will make a splendid winter grazing for sheep 

 and cattle, and is the earliest pasture in spring. 



Hay. Crimson Clover produces from 2 to 3 tons of cured Hay 

 per acre. To secure the best quality of Hay it should be cut 

 before full bloom. It cures very rapidly and should be care- 

 fully handled to retain as much leaf as possible, but the stalks 

 are very nutritious.
