VELVET CHAFF SPRING WHEAT 
This Is an extremely hardy, "bearded variety of wonder- 
ful productiveness, generally yielding at least 10 bu. more 
per acre than other kinds of Spring Wheat, with the excep- 
tion of the Macaroni Wheat. Its long beard or splkelets 
as well as Its heavy chaff protect it from fungous diseases, 
such as blight, rust, and smut. It is as hard and flinty 
as the best Fife Wheat, and no matter how unfavorable 
circumstances are, the Velvet Chaff always produces a good 
yield. On account of its great hardiness and productive- 
ness no grain farmer should fail to sow at least a third 
or half of his area Intended for Wheat to the Velvet Chaff.

SPELTZ OR EMMER 
Sow 1^ to 2 Bn. per Acre 
A valuable grain, closely related to wheat; the ker- 
nels, however, are tightly enclosed In the hulls or 
husk, and these adhere to the grain when it is threshed. 
Speltz is becoming more popular every year, as it pro- 
duces good crops even under adverse circumstances 
where other grain fails. It withstands more dry 
weather than any other grain, with the exception of 
Macaroni Wheat, and produces more food value per 
acre than any other cereal, while it Is a most valuable 
feed for all kinds of stock. It can be fed to horses, the 
same as oats, with the hulls on. Speltz can be grown 
on most any kind of soil, rich or poor, wet or dry, as 
it will not lodge like other grain because of the stiff 
and strong straw, and will always bring the best re- 
turns. ^ pound, 12 cents; pound, 20 cents; 3 pounds, 
so cents, postpaid. 
MAMMOTH SPRING RYE 
A Most Frofltable Crop 
Quite different from Winter Rye; highly valued as a 
catch crop. It is not only more productive but the 
grain Is of finer quality, grown In any latitude. Straw 
is of special value as it stands 6 or 8 feet high, being 
better than that of Winter Rye and producing nearly 
four times as much straw as Oats. Produces 30 to 40 
bushels of grain to the acre. As it does not stool like 
Winter Rye, not less than two bushels to the acre 
should be sown. ^ pound, 15 cents; pound, 36 cents;
