MAYS NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS BEST FOR ALL CLIMES^ 
RUSSIAN FLAX. 
Trimost No. 25. 
Common flax seetl has 
*'run out," and in raising 
this crop it will pay to go 
to some expense to procure 
improved and pure Rus- 
sian seed, which is a great 
improvement over the 
common American Flax. 
The seed is more than dou- 
ble the size, and contains 
much more oil, and the 
fibre is also of superior 
quality. Besides its fine 
appearance it is sure to 
command a higher price 
n the market. The great 
bane of flax growers is the 
use of poor seed. By plant- 
ing the Russian, the aver- 
age maximum yield in 
the west of eight bushels 
per acre coul 1 be increased 
in a few years to fourteen 
or xnore bushels. The 
price for the improved product could also be easily raised from the present 
value of common flax seed, and in many sections of the great west flax 
would become more profitable than wheat or corn. The seed we handle is 
carefully cleaned from foul seeds. Lb. 25c., postpaid; pk. SOc., bu. $1.75,

^^^/f^f^^^^ CHOICE HAND SELECTED STOCK. 
\(l r\\ Peanuts will yield as large a revenue as any 
crop that can be grown in proportion to the out- 
lay. Peanuts are also good food. At least, so say some of the authorities: 
and Peanut Butter has come to be regarded as a dainty. The foliage and 
vines make valuable forage for stock. Large pkt. lOc., pt. 25c., qt. 40c.,

QnonicVi IPpfinilf '^^i^ is an excellent forage plant for light land 
0|JCUiiaii X^cailUt. in dry, hot seasons. The tops are cut and cured 
for hay just before frost. The plants also set a large crop of the small nuts 
which make an excellent fattening food for hc^.and the hogs may be pas- 
tured on the land after the hay has been gathered. The nuts mature much 
earlier than the larger southern vareities. For domestic use these can be 
grown in garden like bush beans. Large pkt, 10c.,pt.25c.,qt. 40c., postpaid. 
'Da<inii+ Piil+iiro Planting should be done as soon as possible 
X^CctllUl VUltUXC. after all danger of frost is past, in ridges three 
feet apart, one kernel being put every 8 to 1 2 inches in the ridge. The young 
Elant is very weak, hence only fine soil must be used in covering, and the 
ernels before planting must be carefully hulled, for if the skin covering 
thenri is broken the chances are against their growing. 
TREE SEEDS. 
Many varieties are easily grown. It should also be remembered that 
while some kinds sprout at once, others require .several weeks, and a few 
lie dormant a whole season. Evergreen seed should be kept cool in dry 
sand. Those with hard shells should lie planted in the autumn. The seeds 
of other deciduous trees should be planted from April to the middle of May 
in drills about 2 feel apart and covered abtmt half an inch in depth. Vari- 
eties marked thus (o) will do better if planted in the fall.

WILD RICE. 
Valuable as an attraction for 
wild fowls. Sown in large quan- 
tities along the edges of ponds, 
lakes and streams. It can be suc- 
cessfully sown either in the win- 
ter or spring, but often the best re- 
sults are obtained when .'*own dur- 
ing the fall months, generally about 
the middle of September. It lies dor- 
mant all winter when sown in the 
fall, and in the spring commences 
to sprout as soon as the weather 
becomes warm, reaching the sur- 
face generally the first part of 
June. It grows very rapidly in one 
to eight feet of water, ripening late 
in August or early in September. 
The best plan is to sow it broad- 
cast from a boat in 2 or 3 feet of 
water having a mud bottom. Its 
value to the sportsman as a bait 
for fowl is being realized more 
each year. Lb. 25c., postpaid ;
