CORN — (.Early Noi-thwcstcrn Dent). (Lb., postpaid, 20c) ; 
by express or freight, lb., 15c; 10 lbs., 85c; 50 lbs $3.25 
This corn is in a class by itself, being a yellow capped 
red Dent variety and is one of the most largely grown 
varieties in North Dakota and the northern part of 
Minnesota. It is extremely early and quickly adapts 
itself to new soil and climatic conditions. It gives 
best results on a fairly rich soil. Under ordinary con- 
ditions the average height of stalk of this corn is 7 
feet 8 inches; average distance of base of oar from 
ground 3 feet 5 inches. The ears bear 10 to ti rows. 
Our supply of seed of this variety usually runs oul 
early in the season, consequently send your orders 
early. 
CORN— (Minnesota No. 13— Extra Early Yellow Dent). (Lb. 
postpaid, 20c); by express or freight, 15c; 10 lbs., 85c: 
50 lbs $3.25 
The commanding points of excellence which place 
Minnesota No. 13 Corn at the head of all yellow Den( 
varieties for northern planting are: Its earliness, ils 
enormous productiveness, its adaptability to a greal 
variety of soils and climates. The ears are of hand- 
some appearance, bearing 16 to 30 rows of bright, rich, 
yellow, smooth, wedge-shaped kernels packed closely 
on the cob from butt to tip. The ears average eighl 
inches in length and are borne usually two on a stalk. 
No corn excels in quality the Miimesota No. 13; the cobs 
are well filled and the individual kernels plump and of 
good color. Minnesota No. 13 thoroughly matures in 
90 days when planted on favorable soil and in good 
location, but 95 to 100 days places it out of danger un- 
der average conditions. A variety of corn which will 
show such valuable characteristics is art acquisition on 
any farm, especially for planting in the Northwest 
where early frosts are common. 
PEAS 
"Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the 
soils of this country every year than is now purchased an- 
nually by the farmers at the cost of millions of dollars."— 
Year Book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The 
above statement, coming as it does from a reliable source, 
gives the progressive farmers of this great Northwest 
something to think about. Grain has been grown year 
after year on many farms, sapping the life and fertility of 
the soil. Here is a crop which is not only profitable but 
will return to the land the much-needed nitrogen. Peas 
are second only to clover in their soil-enriching prpperties 
and can be grown under almost any conditions of soil or 
climate. There is always a ready market for peas, or they 
can be profitably ground and fed to stock. The vines make 
rich, nutritious hay. If fed to milch cows, when in a green 
state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost 
doubled. Peas are a paying crop and can be profitably 
planted in many ways. When sown alone about thr< i 
bushels are required to the acre. They can be matun d 
and threshed when dry. The yield will vary from 30 to (id 
bushels an acre. 
PEAS— (Canada True). (Lb., postpaid, 20c); 25 lbs., $1.50; 
100 lbs., $4.00; 1,000 lbs, ask for price. 
Farmers wishing to get a new clean stock of True Canada 
Peas can rely on getting some extra good stock if or- 
dered early. 
PEAS— (White Marrowfat). (Lb., postpaid, 20c); 10 lbs. 
$1.00; 100 lbs., $4.00. Write for sample and price in 
ton lots. 
These large handsome Peas are equally as profitable to 
grow as a field crop and on account of their size are 
saleable at all times at the top of the market, as well 
as providing the table with an extra good pea during 
summer. Very heavy yielder, producing from 40 to 60 
bushels per acre; these peas being softer than the Can- 
ada Pea, are preferred by hogs or stock. Many growers 
are increasing their acreage of these peas, considering 
this variety the best and most profitable. 
VETCHES 
VETCHES— (Sand or Winter 
Vetch, Vicia Villosa). (Lb., 
postpaid, 25c); 10 lbs., $1.30: 
100 lbs $11.50 
Sometimes called Hairy 
Vetch. This is a very valu- 
able forage plant and is rap- 
idly becoming popular each 
year as the farmers are 
learning more of its great 
value for forage and fertil-- 
izing purposes. It succeeds 
well on nearly all soils and 
thrives surprisingly on poor, 
light land and well stands 
extreme of drouth, heat and 
cold. It improves the soil, 
being a great nitrogen gath- 
erer. It belongs to the pea 
family, but the vines arc 
much longer and the foliage 
is more abundant. May be 
sown with about half bushel 
of rye or oats for support 
It grows rapidly and is par- 
ticularly valuable in sections 
where clover does not thrive. 
The Department of Agricul- 
ture estimates the value of 
an acre of this Vetch plowed 
under, equal to commercial 
fertilizer at the rale of from 
$16 to $40 an acre. Sow 00 to 90 lbs. to the acre. 
VETCH— (Sprinft). (Lb., postpaid, 20c); 10 lbs., 75c; 100 
lbs $6.50 
Used for the. same purpose as the Sand or Winter 
Vetch. This variety requires a good soil, is frequently 
sown with oats or barley, with which it makes excel- 
lent feed. 
WINTER VETCH 
MILO MAIZE 
.MILO MAIZE— Lb., postpaid 20c 
A non-sacharine sorghum useful for the large amount 
of foliage, g:reen feed or cured fodder that it furnishes 
and for its grain. Sow in spring, using 6 to 8 lbs. per 
acre. 
SOJA BEAN 
S03\ BEAN— Lb,, postpaid 25c 
Valuable as a forage crop or green manure. Also as a 
green fodder and silo plant. Sow 30 pounds per acre 
after danger from frost is passed. 
WHIPPOORWILL PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL PEAS— Lb., postpaid 20c 
This variety is a great favorite in the West and South 
as a green manure and fodder pea. Is early and grows 
upright. Makes a good growth of vine, which can be 
easily cut. Sow 80 pounds per acre broadcast if for 
green manure or if for fodder sow in rows 3 feet apart 
using 40 pounds per acre
