SELECTED SEED WHEAT. 
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 jarge crop of 
choice high-grade wheat, even after hard, icy winters. It 
is a very close-chaffel wheat, and holds the berry tight, 
so that it does not shell out during the process of harvest- 
ing, hence a saving of grain over many other sorts. It is 
one of the most hardy and prolific varieties. Peck, 60 cts.; 
bus., $1.80. Add 18 cts. extra for each 2-bushel sack. 
Improved Fultz Wheat (Sad). 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. Peck, 60 
cts.; bus., $1.80. Add 18 cts. extra for each 2-bus. sack. 
RYE. 
Thousandfold Winter Rye. In hardiness and yield 
this variety stands foremost, will winter through severe 
seasons, and produce a large crop; straw heavy and stiff 
of a light yellow color, Bus., $1.30. Add 18 cts, extra 
for each 2-bushel sack. 
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 Ist. Bus., $1.50. Add 
*© cts. extra for each 2-ushel sack, 
RAPE. 
Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of the highest 
value. It can be sown in this latitude as late as Septem 
ber, and still later further South; it is sown broadcast at 
the rate of 10 lbs. to the acre, but is better drilled, in 
whick 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 smpxoved Dirrz Loncperry WHeEaT.

CRIMSON GR SCARLET CLOVER. 
(Trifolium incarnatum., ) 
The Great Soil Improver, Farly Green Feed, Grazing or for Hay Crop. 
Soiling, or early green feed, is important in the early spring, as Crimson 
Clover is so rauch ahead of the pasture it can be readily cut and carried to 
the stabled stock. 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 formation is very great; like other plants 
it gathers nitrogen from the air and stores it in the plants ana roots, which 
become valuable food for crops that follow; it produces 8 to 10 tons of 
green fodder per acre. 
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, as it blooms latter part of April. 
Hay. Crimson Clover produces from 2 to 8 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 carefully handled to retain as much leaf as pos- 
sible, but the stalks are very nutritious. Can be cut three weeks earlier than 
Red Clover.
