753 White Swiss Barley 



The Heaviest Yielding Six Rowed Bearded Sort 



The straw is very strong and stiff, growing from 36 to 40 

 inches high. The heads are of the bearded type, long and well 

 filled with six rows of plump grains of the finest quality. It 

 yields abundantly, 50 to 68 bushels to the acre. An excellent 

 variety for growing on light, thin soils, while on rich, fertile 

 soils its yields are wonderful. It is a. great drought register 

 and especially adapted to Northern latitudes. For yield, malt- 

 ing, milling and feeding qualities it has no superior.

842 Maule's Bumper Crop 



The Largest and Plumpest Grained Oat of All 



Maule's Bumper Crop is a white oat of great merit, produc- 

 ing its crop early. The large, heavy, white grains are pro- 

 duced on long, stiff stems. The heads are very long and with 

 the grain heavily clustered. This would be classed as a side 

 oat, but Is more clustered and stands more upright than other 

 varieties of this class. The straw grows to a good height, stiff 

 and straight, rather large aud often bearing large, heavy grains 

 weighing 40 pounds to the measured bushel. The best yields 

 are grown on heavy soil. This white oat took first prize at the 

 New York State Fair and wherever shown. A grower who 

 tested these oats in Monroe Co., New York, says these are the 

 best oats he had ever seen in this county, and the best ever 

 growu in that state. 



This oat can be grown on rich lands and will stand up 

 straight and stiff where other kinds would go down before 

 half ripened. You should give this grand oat a trial.

a« Improved Swedish Oat 



A Wonderful Stooler and Reliable Yielder 



This branch oat is considered one of the heaviest yielders, ranking 

 first in weight, stiffness of straw and thin hulling qualities. The 

 stiff straw, which holds up unusually well grows from 4 to 5 feet 

 tall with heads measuring from 8 to 11% inches long and produces 

 grain weighing from 36 to 40 pounds to the measured bushel. These 

 oats are quite early, less liable to smut or rust than most other 

 sorts, and thrive on nearly all soils. Its growth is so vigorous on 

 heavy and very rich soils, that it is likely to lodge, but for light 

 soils it has no superior.

 Under favorable circumstances it Is ready for pasturage in six weeks from the time of sowing. It ia grown 

 exclusively for its leaves. The seed should be sown in May, for midsummer pasturage; or any time before 

 the end of August (at the North) for autumn pasturage. In the Southern States the best sowing time is 

 September or October. Rape is a plant which loves cool weather, and thrives best in spring or autumn. 

 The seed should be used at the rate of 3 pounds per acre in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broadcast. Rape 

 is an excellent food for chickens or for green manure for plowing down.
