SPRING WHEAT— MARQL1S 



This famous variety is of Canadian origin and was bred by 

 crossing Red Fife and Hard Calcutta, an acclimated Wheat from 

 India. It retains the frost-resisting qualities of Red Fife and also 

 the extreme earliness of Hard Calcutta. Jt was awaided the 

 $1,000 prize given by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy foi I he besl Wheal 

 in America, and is almost ten days earlier thaii any other variety, 

 maturing in time to avoid rust, smut, or drought. As to produc- 

 tiveness many growers report 52 and more bushels per acre, but a 

 five-year average at Brandon Experiment Station was found to 

 be 44 bushels per acre. Milling tests show that this Wheat con- 

 tains a greater quantity of gluten, is a better color, shows greater 

 absorption, and is heavier in weight per bushel than any other 

 Spring Wheat. Our stock was raised in the far North, and is 

 early, hardy, and productive. 



Price, per peck $1.25, bushel (60 lbs.), $4-25; 10-bushel lots, 

 $4.15. 



SPRING WHEAT— Pedigreed BLUE SUM 



A Good Variety to Sow Along with Pasture Grasses 

 Pedigreed Blue Stem is quite distinct from all other Spring 

 Wheats, having when green a pronounced blue bloom on it, hence 

 the name. When ripe the straw is a beautiful golden yellow color. 

 This variety is remarkably free from rust, is very productive, has 

 a hard kernel and there is a total absence of beard. Its milling 

 qualities are of the best. 



Price, per peck $1.25, bushel (60 lbs.), $4.00; 10-bushel lots, 

 $390.

SELECTED BARLEY 



Sow 2}4 bushels per acre broadcast and 1J^ !o2 bushels 

 per acre if drilled. Harvest before it is too ripe. 



BEARDLESS BARLEY. Beardless Barley is re- 

 markable for its great productiveness; it having been 

 conclusively shown during the past few years that it is 

 far and away above all others in that respect. Also 

 for the entire absence of the troublesome beard, very 

 dangerous to animals and common to all other varieties 

 except the improved White Hulless. Although it makes 

 a good grain crop, it is of the greatest value as a quick 

 growing and nutritious forage crop, either to feed green 

 or cured as hay. If cured as hay it should be cut when 

 the grain is in the milk. 



Sow 2 to 214 bushels per acre. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel of 48 lbs.; 

 10 bushels, $2.90 per bushel. 



IMPROVED WHITE HULLESS. A valuable new 

 variety, which should be sown at the rate of 1^ bushels 

 per acre about the time of sowing Oats. It is two or 

 three weeks earlier than ordinary Barley, grows about 

 the same height, and will not shatter in the field, even 

 when very ripe. The grain is not unlike Wheat, and 

 weighs about 60 lbs. per bushel, instead of 48 lbs. as 

 other Barley. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel of 48 lbs.; 

 10 bushel lots, S2.90 per bushel. 



VERMONT CHAMPION. This is a two-rowed 

 variety which is much esteemed by northern farmers. 

 It is quite early, extremely hardy, and very prolific. 

 The heads are longer than the six-rowed varieties, and 

 the berries are larger. It always fetches a high price 

 on account of its good appearance. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel of 48 lbs.; 

 10-bushel lots, $2.90 per bushel. 



Henderson's SELECTED SPRING RYE 



It is an excellent "catch crop" where fall-sown grain 

 has been winter-killed, and also for fodder and grain. 



Price, $4.00 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, 

 S3.90 per bushel. 



JAPANESE MILLET 



(Panicum Cruss-Galli Major) 

 Especially Valuable for the Northern and New 

 England States. For Silo and Cutting Green 

 Entirely distinct from any other Millet. It grows 

 G to 8 feet high, stands remarkably well notwithstanding 

 its great height, and yields from 10 to 12 tons green 

 fodder per acre. When cured it makes an excellent 

 quality of hay. and its feeding value is far superior to 

 Corn fodder. This Millet does not endure drought well, 

 except it be sown early in retent ives oil, nor is it recom- 

 mended for the Southern States; but north of Wash- 

 ington, D. C, we confidently recommend its general 

 cultivation. It will produce a fair second cutting, it sown 

 early in May, and cut when in blossom. It may be sown 

 from the middle of May to the 1st of July, broadcast, 

 at the rate of 15 Lbs. per acre, but it is better to sow it 

 in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, using 10 to 12 lbs. per 

 acre, and hoed between the rows to keep down ;i!l 

 weeds until the plant attains a height of 12 to 18 inches 

 when its rapid growth will smother all weeds. 

 Price, 18c. lb.; 10 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $12.00. 



HUNGARIAN MILLET. Is the quickest of catch 

 crops for hay, and as it may be sown any time during 



the summer months up to the middle of August, it is 

 invaluable for overcoming a shortage of the regular hay 

 crop, it is fairly drought resistant. Main- farmer- 

 depend entirely upon Hungarian Grass for hay as they 

 can sow it after other crops have been harvested. Sou 

 1 bushel per acre. 



Price, $3.50 per bushel of 48 lbs.; 10 bushels and 

 upwards, $3.40 per bushel. 



GOLDEN MILLET. Northern Grown. This variety 

 is considerably larger than Hungarian and yields a 

 much heavier crop, but is later and not so quick grow- 

 ing, Consequently cannot be sown much after the fourth 

 of July in this latitude. 



Our seek] is specially grown and selected, and will 

 produce nearly double the crop obtained from seed not 



so grown. Sow one bushel per acre. S 



Price, $4.00 per bushel of 50 lbs.; 10 bushels and 

 upwards, $3.90 per bushel. 



An ideal ensilage mixture may be composed of two parts of Japanese millet to one pari of Sola Beans 

 mixed when filling the silio.
