BARLEY 



a SPLENDID N13RSE CROP 

 HIGIt IN FEEDING VALUES 



Evans Early Soy or Soja Beans. 



SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY — Earliest Barley known. The straw is about the height 

 of common Barley, but better; and wiU stand up on any land. This is beardless and a3 

 easy to grow and handle as Oats. And is a heavy cropper, yielding from 50 to 75 bushels 

 per acre, and the quaUty is excellent. Prices, postpaid, lb. 25c. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, i bu. 40c.; i bu. 55c.; i bu. 85c.; I bu. (48 lbs.) $1.45. 

 BUCKBEE'S NEW BLUE RIBBON BEARDED BARLEY— Tliis is a desirable grain for grow- 

 ing in the Soutli wliere it is profitably raised for Fall, Winter and Spring grazing; or it may 

 be cut before it heads out, as a hay crop. As Barley stools well 

 out it really makes better Fall, Winter and Spring grazing than 

 either Rye or Wheat. It is so easily grown and succeeds so well 

 throughout the South that it should be much more largely 

 grown than at present. It can be seeded down at the last work- 

 ing of the corn, and as it prevents the washing of soils by Winter 

 rains it is highly prized. Sow li to 2 bushels per acre. Prices, 

 postpaid, per lb. 25c. By express or freight, not prepaid, J bu. 35c. ; 

 i bu. SOc; i bu. 80c.; 1 bu. (48 lbs.) $1.35. 

 NEW WHITE HULLESS BARLEY— A Barley with a grain like 



wheat. An excellent feeding sort, especially for hogs. Our 1 !ililfililMiMi*'IIHII I III 

 seed is Montana grown, fine, bright, huUess and beardless. iiiiiiiiiiBiwim.ii 

 Weighs over sixty pounds to the measured bushel. It grows 

 very quickly on any kind of soil. It has been sown as late as 

 the middle of June and made a good crop. Prices, postpaid, 

 perlb. 25c. By express or freight, not prepaid, J bu. 40c. ;4bu.55c. ; 

 i bu. 85c.; bu. (48 lbs.) $1.50. 

 For 10c. a liberal sample of this valuable Barley will be sent to 



those who wish to inspect it before purchasing. 

 ODERBRUCKER, or WISCONSIN No. 55 BARLEY— A stiff-straw- 

 ed, heavy-yielding, six-rowed, bearded variety. It is about the 

 same as 'Manshury in time of maturity, manner of grovi'th and 

 general appearance, but lias a plumper kernel and weighs more 

 to the measured bushel. It has protein content of 15 per cent, 

 or nearly double the amount of protein found in many other 

 varieties. This makes it a very valuable feeding Barley, which 

 is an important consideration with the leading farmers and 

 stockmen, who are now appreciating more and more the value of 

 Barley as a food for all kinds of stock, horses as well as cattle. On 

 account of its large percentage of protein, it is also one of the best 

 malting Barleys. Prices, postpaid, per lb. 2Sc. Bv express or freight, 

 not prepaid, J bu. 35c.; i bu. SOc; i bu. 80c.; 1 bu. (48 lbs.) $1.40. 



SOJfl, or SOY BEANS 



As a forage and feed crop, Soja Beans are proving very desir- 

 able. They make a large growth, stand up well, and can be cut and 

 cured to advantage. They furnish rich feed and are, in fact, a bal- 

 anced ration in one crop. They do equally well on light or heavy 

 soil, and are a most desirable land-improver. I have never known 

 a crop that cleans land like Soja Beans, as it is impossible for any 

 weeds to grow where a crop of Sojas are. They also resist drought 

 and hot weather to a remarkable extent. Sow at the rate of one to 

 one and one-half bushels per acre. The thicker sowing will prevent 

 the stalks from becoming too coarse, and will enable them to be cut 

 and turned under to better advantage. 



EVANS' EARLY SOJA— Originated by Mr. Evans, the noted Soja 

 Bean specialist of Michigan. By long odds the best variety for 

 planting in the Northern, Eastern or Western States. Choicest 

 Stock Seed (Northern-grown), postpaid, lb. 30c. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, 4 bu. SOc; i bu. 95c.; i bu. $1.80; bu. (of

 grown Seed. Postpaid, lb. 25c. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 J bu. SOc; i bu. 85c; i bu. $1.65; bu. (of 50 lbs.) $2.95. 



NEV VELVET BEAN 



This new and important forage plant from India is creating a 

 great sensation throughout the Middle and Southern States. Its 

 nitrogen-gathering properties are said to surpass those of the cow- 

 pea. It is the rankest grower of any of the legumes; two or three seeds 

 planted 4 feet apart in rows 5 feet apart will literally cover the ground 

 2 to 3 feet thick with a mass of foliage and vines 20 to 25 feet long, 

 no matter how poor the soil. It leaves a mulch on the ground that 

 is very beneficial to the soil. Prices, postpaid, lb. 25c. By express or 



freight, not prepaid. J bu. 55c; i bu. $1.00; i bu. $1.80; bu. (60 lbs.) Buckbee's New 



$3.45. Bearded Barley.
