BURBANK'S NEW STANDARD GRAINS 
Every kernel of these Superior Wheals should he carefully planted and 
well protected from birds, which is best done by drilling or planting in 
rows by hand. Too rich soil or heavy manuring is not advisable For wheal, 
as it is more apt to lodge and the crop is not generally increased, espe- 
cially on naturally good ground. On poorer soils some good complete 
commercial fertilizer will increase the yield. Forty to fifty pounds of 
seed per acre, one-half to one inch deep, will give best results with these 
new seed wheats. Do not sow too thickly unless you wish for hay, not 
grain. Grain sown too thickly is far more apt to lodge. The results of 
judicious thin sowing are very evident in increased quality as well as 
weight of crops. 
The wheat crop like all other crops depends so much in yield upon 
locality, season, soil, fertilizers, droughts, weeds and insects, time of 
sowing and general management that while a superb variety may yield 
(50 to 80 bushels per acre under best conditions, it may not yield one- 
fourth as much under adverse ones. 
A New Oat -"White Avalanche" 
An extremely early, very productive oat of the very best quality as 
well as a heavy yielder. It should take the place of most of the various 
common oats now grown. Start right, get pure, uniform "White AjyaM^che" 
oat seed. A field of this when ripening appears almost as wAtejis snow; 
three to four feet in height. Being very early and productive it is suited 
to growth in all oat climates, even those having an unusually short season. 
Heavy screened seed, 3 pounds by mail or express, prepaid, $1.25. 
Ten pounds by express, not prepaid, $2.25. 
"Eclipse" Oats— Reselected Seed 
The heaviest yielder of both hay and oats of any tested on my SH^Ads. 
Foliage, on good soil, almost like corn leaves, sometimes oi^rtnq^Vnialf 
to two inches wide. Early and unusually productive of ^W^n hulled, 
heavy white oats of finest milling quality. 
Heavy screened seed, 3 pounds by mail or express, postpaid, $1.25. 
Ten pounds by express, not prepaid, $2.25. 
Eclipse oats may be sown in the Fall in mild climates; in the Spring 
in cold climates. 
Blue Arabian Hulless Barley

improved in the size and quality of the heads and kernels and more than 
doubled in yield. Height, three feci; threshes out clean like wheat with 
no skin or hull. Dark blue plump grain, like wheat. Highly profitable

"I got one-half pound of your new wheat last year; have not threshed yet but il is a 
fine wheal and is going to make at least twice as much as other wheals in the same field. 
Please quote price on more." — J. M. N., Sellersburg, Ind., July 17, 1918. 
"From the twelve heads of wheat purchased from you last Fall I feel sure I will 
make over six thousand heads. This wheat was planted so very late that it didn't branch 
at all until this Spring. I have demonstrated to my own satisfaction that one gallon
