SEI.ECTED SEED ^VHEAT 



The wheat we supply has been grown especially for seed, 

 and is carefully recleaned. We will be pleased to send sam- 

 ples by mail, and also give prices. 



Miracle Wheat (Bearded). An excellent new variety, 

 which is productive and an excellent milling wheat. A re- 

 markable feature is its enormous stooling propensity. See 

 illustration. Single plants often contain as many as 20 to 25 

 stalks, each with large head, well filled with plump grains. 

 The straw is strong and stiff and holds up well and grows 

 about five feet tall. Because of its heavy growth the plants 

 of Miracle Wheat should be allowed more room to grow 

 than other varieties, and seed should be planted in smaller 

 quantity, using only 1 to If bushels to an acre. Those who 

 have planted Miracle Wheat have been astonished and well 

 pleased with results. 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- 

 chaffed and holds the berry tight. Write for price. 

 Improved Fultz 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. 



WINTER, OR HAIRY VETCH 



(Vicia Villosa) 



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

 cover crop, for v/hich 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 makes 

 the best green-manure crop that can be grown. The seed may 

 be sown any time from the middle of August until about Octo- 

 ber 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 keeping the vines off the ground, otherwise 

 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. Write for a copy of our Leaflet on Vetch.
