JOnZJ' WINTER FIFE. (BALD.) 
The Finest Variety Ever Introduced. 
This is certainly the finest Winter Wheat, and wherever 
tested it has given perfect satisfaction, both as to yield and 
quality. It is a decided boon to farmers and millers and 
the most desirable Winter sort known, yielding from 40 to 
55 bushels per acre. This is without doubt the coming No. 
1 hard gluten sort of the country, being to the Winter Wheat 
sections what the No, 1 Hard Spring is to the Northwest; 
excelling in the amount of gluten even the noted Saskatchewan 
Spring Fife, the pride of all Northwestern millers. It is well 
known that millers in the Winter Wheat sections are obliged 
to use a certain amount of Spring Fife to obtain gluten, in 
which our common sorts arc in a dcgrrec deficient, and without 
which it is impossible to compete with the Spring Wheat sec- 
tions. But with this sort in general cultivation we can com- 
pete with the highest grade of fiour known. This sort origi- 
nated from a combined cross. The first cross being from Medi- 
terranean and a seedling. This seedling being a cross be- 
tween Mediterranean and Fultz, which was crossed with 
Velvet Chaflf. It is a very strong grower, covering the ground 
early in the season, requiring light seeding on rich soil. 
Straw is above medium height and very strong. Heads long 
and broad, free from beards, with breasts overlapping each 
other. Ripens early, and has a velvet-like glisten in the sun. 
Grain of medium size ; requires to be left until fully ripe before 
being harrested, and does not shell in the field. Transparent, 
hard and dark. Price, 60 cts. per lb., 3 lbs. for $1.25, includ- 
ing postage; $3.50 per peck; $12.00 per bushel, at pur- 
chaser's expense, by fright or express. 
flflERICflN BRONZE. (BAILb.) 
First Time Offered, Especially Adapted to Sandy 
and Poor Soil. 
Although especially adapted to poor soils, producing a 
good crop when most other sorts would prove a complete 
failure, it is also one of great value on rich, moist land on 
which long and soft strawed sorts would go down. It is of 
medium height and the tfti'ciest walled straw in caltivation, 
resisting severe wind storms without lodging. Originated 
from a cross between Martin's Amber and Fultz. Being a 
very strong grower and of spreading habit, requires light 
seeding if sown on rich soil. Heads are long and broad, free 
from beards, chaff white, grain large and of a rich bronze 
shade, the color being very distinct when grown on light soils. 
It is early, very productive and especially free from rust 
even in unfavorable seasons. 
The season of 1891 has shown this to be also one of the 
very best for strong clay soils, making a grain of very large 
size, with that dark transparent shade so desirable in a No. 1 
milling sort. 30 cts. per lb., 3 lbs. for 75 cts., including post- 
age ; $2.00 per peck; $6.00 per bushel, at purchaser's expense, 
by express or freight. 
Rye is a valuable crop for either soiling, green fodder, straw or grain. It is largely used by farmers to seed down with in the 
fall, and is considered preferable to wheat for tliis purpose, as it protects the young grass and matures two weeks earlier in the 
spring than wheat. 
QH/inriON WINTER. 
A new variety that has never failed to yield at the rate of from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With the originator a four- 
act* field yielded 62 bushels to the acre. 65 cts. per peck, $2.00 per bushel, by freight or express. 
Gl^flSS flJlD CLiOVEl^ SEEDS. 
Timothy (Pbleam Pratense).— Forty-five lbs. to the bushel. 
This is a field and not a pasture grass, as it will not endure 
close and frequent cropping; but for a hay crop on strong 
soUs it will produce more than any other sort. Not so well 
suited for light, sandy soils; most valuable of all grasses for 
hay, especially at the North ; one-fourth to one-half bushel 
per acre. Qt. 15 cts., bu. about $2.50. 
K«d Top (Agrostis Vulgaris). — Fourteen lbs. to the bushel. 
Valuable for pasturage ; is well known and extensively culti- 
vated ; two or three bushels will sow one acre. Qt 15 cts., 
bn. $1.25. 
Orchard Grass (Dactylls Glomerata) . — Oneof the very best 
pasture grasses, as it is exceedingly palatable to stock, and 
will endure a great deal of cropping; 1% to 2 bu. per acre 
(14 lbs. to the bu.). Qt. 20 cts., bu. about $3.00. 
Italian Kye Grass (Lolium Italicum). — Extensively used 
in Europe for soiling. It gives an early, quick and successive 
growth, till late in the fall. Recommended for use in pasture 
mixtures here; two bu. to the acre (about 18 lbs. to the bu.). 
Qt. 20 cts., bu. $3.00. 
Ferennial Bye Grass iL,oliam Perenoe).— Valuable for 
permanent pasture, in mixture with other pasture grasses. 
Succeeds best on moderately moist land ; IVi to 2 bu. per 
acre (24 lbs. per bu.). Lb. 15 cts., bu. about $2.50. 
Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa Pratensis) . — Fourteen lbs. to 
the bushel. The best of all our Lawn grasses. As a pasture 
grass it furnishes the most nourishing food for cattle of any. 
and until winter. It thrives on a variety of soils, but does 
best in dry and somewhat shady localities. Three bushels per 
acre for lawn purposes, and one and a half bushels per acre for 
pasture. Qt. 20 cts., bn. about $3.00. 
CLOVER. 
Medium Red (Trifolium Pratense).— Sixty lbs. to the 
bushel. Excellent for pasturage or hay ; valuable as a green 
manure, and should be in all grass mixtures; 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acTe, when sown alone. Lb. 20 cts., bu. $5.50. 
Mammoth Red (Trifolium Prateose).— Used largely for 
plowing under for manure. Its stalks are so coarse that stock 
will eat only the leaves, but by its judicious use exhausted 
lands can be reclaimed, as it will grow where common clover 
will fail; 8 lbs. to the acre. Market price, lb. 30 cts. 
Alsike or Swedish (Trifolium Hybridum).— Thrives in 
rich, moist soil; does not succeed on high, dry lands; 6 lbs. to 
the acre. Lb. 25 cts., bu. about $9.50. 
Alfalfa or tncerne (Medicago Sat/Va).— In light soils 
anywhere, particulariy in Southern latitudes, it is invaluable. 
Lb. 20 cts.; by mail, lb. 30 cts.; by express or freight, purchas- 
er's expense, 10 lbs. for $1.75, per bu. $8.00.
