SELECTED SEED WHEAT. 



The wheat we supply has been grown especially for seed and 



is carefully recleaned. We will be pleased to send samples by 



mail, and also give prices. 



Miracle Wheat {Bearded). An excellent new variety, which 

 is productive of an excellent milling wheat. A remarkable 

 feature is its enormous stooling propensity; single plants often 

 contain as many as 2.) to 25 stalks, each with large head, well 

 filled wilh plump grains and yielding a large crop of high- 

 grade wheat. 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 1^ 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 valu- 

 able 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. 



Crimson °* 



SCARLET(t° VER 



CRIMSON, or SCARLET CLOVER. 



When sown early enough, Crimson Clover will make good 

 winter grazing for sheep and cattle, and being ready in spring 

 before pasturage, it may be cut and carried to the stable stock. 

 It is also valuable for hay if cut before coming to full bloom, 

 cures rapidly, and is very nutritious, but its chief and best use 

 is as a fertilizer, its capacity for stocling and rcot formation be- 

 ing very great, and like other plants of its character, gathers 

 nitrogen from the air and stores it in the plants and roots, thus 

 becoming valuable food for crops which follow. Write for leaf- 

 let on Crimson Clover, also sample and price of seed. 



WINTER, OR HAIRY VETCH 



(Vicia Villosa.) 



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

 cover crop, for which 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. It thrives in 

 almost any soil, and the land will be greatly benefited even when 

 crop has been grown for hay. The sejd may be sown any time 

 from the middle of August until about October 1st, either broad- 

 cast 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 diffi- 

 culty 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 desired.
