Ensilage and Fodder Corns 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. :\Iaiiy farmers prefer this 

 for ensilage purposes, owing to the large percentage of saccharine matter 

 in the stalks. The seed offered is specially grown for fodder purposes, 

 being of quick growth and early maturity. Sown at the rate of 2 bushels 

 per acre in drills 4 feet apart, it makes splendid stalks 6 to 8 feet high, 

 which are of the finest qualitj' for feeding green, cutting for ensilage or 

 curing for fodder. By express or freight, qt. 15 cts., 4 qts. 45 cts., pk. 60 

 cts., bus. Si. 75, 10 bus. and over, $1.60 per bus. 



STOKES' SPECIAL ENSILAGE. This is a very fine white Com, 

 with a large-sized, very heavy solid ear. Its close set grains are well filled 

 out at both the butt and tip ; cob medium size, very white. It grows a 

 tremendous stalk, on strong land, 14 to 16 feet high; frequently has two 

 ears to a stalk, and has the heaviest quantity of fodder in tons per acre of 

 any Corn that I have ever had any knowledge of, producing frequently 

 from 60 to 75 tons. I offer it without any qualifications for ensilage use as 

 being the best Corn I know of. Pk. 60 cts., bus. Si. 50, 10 bus. lots and 

 over. Si. 35 per bus. 



RED COB ENSILAGE. This is a western variety which has given good 

 satisfaction. White corn with a red cob. The flavor is sweet and juicy; 

 stalks 13 to 14ft. in height. Pk. 50c., bus. Si. 35. 10 bus and over, $1.25 per bus. 



BLUNTS' PROLIFIC ENSILAGE. This is a very heavy-growing 

 Ensilage Corn, producing two ears to the stalk; ears of medium size, 

 white Corn ; is earlier than the Red Cob Ensilage. Pk. 60 cts., bus. Si-5o>- 

 10 bus. lots and over. Si. 35 per bus.

SWEDISH SELECT. "Swedish Select Oats, a pedigree variety 

 introduced from Russia, now probably the best American Oat.'' 

 This was the inscription for this varietj- in the cereal exhibit made 

 by the United States Department of Agriculture at the late St. 

 Louis Exposition. This beautiful Oat, which is now well acclima- 

 tized, weighs from 36 to 40 pounds per measured bushel. It out- 

 yields all others that have been tested. The straw is coarse, noted 

 for its stiffness and power to withstand lodging. The grains are 

 pure white in color, large, thick and plump, making a ver)- hand- 

 some appearance. The heads are large, upright and bushy ; they 

 are also nearly all meat; the hull being exceedingly thin, making 

 them especially valuable as a feeding oat. Their great root de- 

 velopment enables them to resist drought better than most other 

 kinds. They are quite early and are less liable to smut and rust 

 than most any other sort. I believe this Oat to be the best of the 

 new blood obtainable. The stock I have is genuine, and a hand- 

 some sample. Lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 65 cts., by mail, postpaid ; by 

 freight or express, 5^pk. 25 cts., pk. 45 cts., legal bus. (32 lbs.) Si. 75, 

 sack of 3 legal bus. (96 lbs.) $4-50. 



GOLDEN FLEECE. This is a very fine Oat, originated in New 

 York state and introduced in 1901. It is a heavy cropper, hand- 

 some sample, grains white and plump; strong straw, stand up 

 well. The blade is much larger than the ordinary Oat, attesting to 

 its vigor and productive capacity; stools remarkably in strong 

 land, seventeen different shoots having been counted from one 

 seed sown. Lb. 25 cts., 2 lbs. 65 cts., by mail, postpaid ; by freight 

 or express, pk. 40 cts., legal bus. (32 lbs.) $1.50, sack of 3 legal bus. 

 (96 lbs.) S4- 



TARTAR KING. This grand Oat is one of the earliest, heaviest, 

 most prolific domestic-grown oats in cultivation; suitable for all 

 soils; has a robust and vigorous constitution ; is quite early and a 

 large cropper. Straw is stout, standing up well, does not readily 

 lodge. The kernels are large, thick, plump and heavy, possessing 

 all the qualities that go to make up an ideal oat. Price same as for 

 Golden Fleece.
