State Nursery and Seed Co. 
SALT BUSH 
ATXSTBAIiIAN SAI^T BUSH — Lb. (Postpaitl) $1.00 
Cattle, horses, sheep and swine eat it and thrive on it. it 
flourishes where grasses and other forage plants will not 
grow and furnishes enormous quantities of nutritive food 
for stock. It succeeds everywhere, and there seems to be 
no question but that it will in time eliminate alkali from the 
ground, rendering it suitable for other crops. ^ 
Directions for Plantlngr. — Sow 2 to 3 lbs. of seed to an acre 
in the spring before a rain if possible, or irrigate well on well 
pulverized soil and cover it liglitly (about one-eiglith of an inch) 
with a light harrow or brush. The plants may also be grown in 
boxes or garden bed, covering the seed lightly, and planting the 
seedlings where desired, when from 2 to 3 inches high, 6 to 10 
feet apart. If the weatlier is dry when transplanting, supply a 
little water to each plant. 
SUNFLOWER 
SUNTI.O'WEB — (Mammotli Bussian.) Lb. (Postpaid), 25c; by 
Express or Freight at Purchastrr's Expense, 10 Lbs $1.25 
Single heads measure 15 to 22 inches in diameter, and con- 
tain an immense amount of seed, which is highly valued by 
farmers and poultry breeders who have tried it as an excel- 
lent and cheap food for fowls. It is the best egg produc- 
ing food known for poultry. It can be raised cheaper than 
corn, and is destined to be an article of great value. 
RAPE 
BAFE — (Dwarf Essex.) Lb. (Postpaid), 25c; by Express or 
Freight at Purchaser's Expense, 10 Lbs., $1.75; 50 Lbs., $6.00 
Uses of Dwarf Essex Bape. — Dwarf Essex Rape thrives best 
on a good soil, rich in vegetable matter. Slough lands are ex- 
cellent. This plant may be grown successfully in the following 
ways, viz: 1. In the early spring, to provide pasture. 2. In 
June or July, on well prepared land to provide pasture. 3. 
Along with grain, using 2 lbs. of seed an acre, to provide pasture 
for sheep after harvest. 4. Along with peas, oats, clover seed, 
to provide pasture and to get a "catch" of clover. 5. As a cover 
In the orchard for winter protection to avoid root— killing. 6. 
In corn, sowing the seed with the last cultivation; the succulent 
feel produced may save the loss of cattle by corn stalk disease. 
Prevention is better than medicine in regard to this fatal disease. 
7. Along with rye, sown in August, in sheep pasture. 8. On 
early plowed fields to shade the land and so that the soil will not 
leach, wash or drift. 9. To plow under as a green crop, adding 
humus to the soil, an element needed in grain growing sections. 
When rape is sown broadcast. 5 lbs. of seed an acre will suffice. 
When sown in rows, say thirty inches apart, and cultivated, from 
1 to 2 lbs. an acre will be enough. 
BUCKWHEAT 
SIIiVEB KXTIiIi BTTCKWSEAT— Lb. (Postpaid). 20c; 10 Lbs., 75c 
Tills valu.iblo variety originated abroad and is a decided im- 
provement on the old black or gray sort. It Is early, remains 
longer in bloom than other sorts. A fine variety for lioney 
bees. The grain is of a beautiful light gray color, and lias 
a thin husk. Millers prefer Silver Hull, there being less 
waste and it makes whiter, better and more nutritious flour 
than otlier varieties. Silver Hull is more productive and 
the grain meets with a more ready sale, bringing higlier 
prices than the Japanese. Under favorable conditions it will 
yield 40 to 50 bushels an acre.

No barley of which we have knowledge has proved so valu- 
able to the stock raiser as the White Hulless. It is not a malt- 
ing variety, but for feeding purposes there is no Barley raised 
which can compare with it in earliness, yield and quality. It has 
many very valuable properties. 
Its Valuable Properties. — It is hulless, beardless, and early; 
it welKhs over 60 pounds to the measured bushel; yields well on 
poor land; yields enormously in good land; makes better pork 
than corn; it is of inestimable value to every one who feeds stock. 
It is often grown for hay, coming very early and providing rich 
food. It should be cut just before it becomes ripe and while 
the straw is green. In this condition it is relished by all kinds 
of stock. The straw is stiff and straight, and seldom if ever 
does it lodge. Use 50 lbs. of seed to the acre if sown on dry 
land for a grain crop.

paid), 15c; by Express or Freight 
at Purchaser's Expense, Lb. 10c; 
25 Lbs., $1.00; 100 Lbs $2.75 
Facts About Speltz. — It resists 
drouth; it thrives on poor lands, in 
stony ground, in forest regions, on 
the prairies; it maltes a crop with 
almost any condition of soil and cli- 
mate: endures a great deal of frost; 
is not readily damaged by harvest 
rains; is not susceptible to rust or 
smut; yields more than oats; yields 
more than wheat; yields more than 
barley; makes better feed than bar- 
ley: the straw is used for fattening 
stock; the stubble makes good fertil- 
izer; stock eat both grain and straw. 
Ripens very early. 
WHEAT

In the field this Wheat grows very 
strong and with surprising rapid- 
ity, so rapidly as to get well ahead 
of the weeds. It does not shell or 
bleach and is also hail proof ow- 
ing to the tightness of the hull. 
The straw is very strong.
