FAMOUS ROCK RIVER VALLEY SEED FARMS 
Pedigreed Seed Oats and Field Peas 
QUALITY FAR ABOVE ANY LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNITED 
STATES OR CANADA 
OATS 
Improved 
Swedish Select 
Considered by many 
to be the most valu- 
able oats raised In the 
Northwest today. It 
is linown under other 
names, such as King 
Oscar. Wisconsin No. 
4, etc. This was orig- 
inally quite a late oat 
made early by grow- 
ing it in tlie high alti- 
tude in which it was 
developed. It possess- 
es striUing features, 
the grain is short, 
plump, white, and very 
heavy, under favora- 
ble conditions aver- 
aging about 40 pounds 
to the measured bush- 
el. Owing to its 
great root development 
it stands very high 
for its_drought resist- 
ing qualities. At the 
Wisconsin Experiment 
Station it has stood at 
the head of the list for 
several years, having 
been distributed by 
that station as Wis- 
consin No. 4. Prof. 
Moore of Wisconsin 
says of the Swedish 
Oat "The most satis- 
factory of all." Prof. 
Carleton of U. S. De- 
partment of Agricul- 
ture says: "Probably 
the best American 
Oat." Prof. Shepard 
of the South Dakota 
Station says, "They 
are the best drought 
resisters of all our 
new plants." 
The Swedish Oat 
has been recommended 
by experiment station 
and others tor all soils 
We are not inclined t» 
agree in this. Its habi; 
of growth is so vigor- 
ous that on heavy 
soils it is likely to 
lodge. Our seed is of 
the genuine parent, 
highly perfected to in- 
sure you most bounti- 
ful harvest. Order

SILVER MINE OATS 
This oat has made for itself a reputation as an extra- 
ordinary heavy and reliable yielder. It is very hardy and 
prolific and yields beautiful white kernels, Whicli are 
especially desired for the manufacture of rolled oats. Oat- 
meal is becoming as staple in the United States as it 
in Scotland and our mills are handicapped by their inabil- 
ity to obtain good oats. 
The heads are very larpre in proportion to its stiff, 
bright, clean straw. The spangle top heads, although long, 
are borne low down on the stalk, which seems to prevent 
lodging. Vs bushel, 20 cents; ]4 bushel, 35 cents; bushel, 
55 cents; bushel, (32 lbs), 85 cents; 2 to 10 bushels, 80 
cents per bushel.

Crop 
Fancy Canada Field Peas 
For northern states there is no crop of greater value 
than Field Peas, and none is more neglected, which can 
only be attributed to a lack of knowledge as to their 
merits as a fodder, being very rich in the elements that 
improve the muscle, bone and nervous system. Sow as 
early as the ground can he worked, using two bushels 
of peas and two bushels of oats per acre. Cut when the 
oats are in the milk and cure for hay. Especially valu- 
able to the farmer who has not enough meadow land.

the sweepstakes wherever shown; average yield, 70 
bushels per acre. By comparison this year (a wet sum- 
mer) Kherson surpassed them all for an early "Sure 
Cropper." This is the Boss Oat for seeding with Al- 
falfa or Sweet Clover. Our seed is Pure and extra re- 
cleaned. Yg bushel, 25 cents; V4 bushel, 45 cents; Yz

CONDON'S WHITE BONANZA 
This year's experimental tests again proves our claim 
that "Condon's White Bonan/.a" is the Greatest All 
Around Oat of the country. It i.s extremely vigorous, 
stiff .straw, not too heavy, stands up remarkably fine: 
in fact, during heavy wind.storms this .summer it proved 
big enoui^h for the job; never went down, but stood on 
Kuard all season while almost every other sort fell and 
lodged so badly the losses were immense, Average 
yield, 87 bushels per acre this seastm, and many repoi-t 
better than a hundred. If you want something fine and 
reliable, sure to make you money, send your orders at 
once, as our supply is limited owing to the advance 
orders already booked. Ye bushel, 25 cents; Yi bushel, 
40 cents; Ys bushel, 60 cents; bushel (32 lbs.), $1.00. 
2 to 10 bushel, at $0.95.
