OATS. 
Orows to a height of

produce enormous 
crops on land where 
wheat will not grow 
any longer. It makes 
^excellent ;>asturc and 
good hay if cut at the 
proper season. The 
.straw is stiff and does 
not lodge easily, and 
the grain does not 
shell out. Dry 
weather does not seem 
to have any effect on 
it whatever. It is a 
wonderful stooler and 
a robust grower and 
can be fed same as 
oats with the hulls. 
In .some sections the 
hull is separated from 
the grain which is 
ground into flour, 
same as wheat. Every 
farmer should grow it. 
Sow at the rate of M 
to 60 pounds per acre.

( Reana l.uxiurians. , 
A wonderfully prolific 
forage plant which 
somewhat resembles 
corn, but the leaves 
are broader and the 
stalk contains a large amount 
of saccarine matter, its value 
lies in the fact that it can be 
wcut several times during the 
sea.son, and w hen allowed to 
remain without being cut 
attains a height of 12 ft. Our 
experience shows that it is 
particularly adapted to the Middle or Southern states. Seed 
should be sown after the ground is i)erfectly warm and the 
weather settled, at the rate of about 4 pounds per acre. 
The yield is so abundant that one plant is sufficient to feed 
a pair of cattle twenty-four hours. It suckers more than any 
other foliage plant, generally producing 20 to ,30 stalks --.is 
high as 75 to 80 stalks from one kernel of seed, and growing 
to a height of 12 feet. Can be cut when 2 or 3 feet hljfU 
and used for fodder; the amount of forage that can be had in 
this way is immense; some estimate ,300 tons per acre, n e 
would advise sowing the see<l in rows S feet apart and the 
hills far enough to work, putting in 3 seeds about every 12 
inches in the drill. It wants plenty of sunshine and culti- 
vation, will grow rapidly and cover the ground. It can be 
cut with a reaper and fed in the green state, or it can be 
dried and makes an excellent fodder for cattle during the 
winter. 14 lb. 3Sc, lb. 90c, postpaid: 5-lb. lots 75c per lb. 
BONANZA KINQ. 
A VERY PROLIFIC AND DISTINCT VAR- 
lETY— YIELDS 100 TO 140 BUSHELS 
PER ACRE. 
The straw is very stiff, supporting long heads 
that stool freelv and yield remarkably. The 
original seed stock was selected from a crop 
that weighed over 45 pounds to the measured 
bushel. The grain is as heavy as any in ex- 
istence today, and numerous tests prove it 
tar superior to any white oats in cultivation. 
The Bonanza King has been carefully selected 
and improved for several years until it now 
stands with a record that has never been equaled. We 
hope to supply all our customers who want to change 
their seed and every farmer knows that change of seed 
is a great benefit, and. as long as such a grand variety 
can be had at as low a price, we believe it is to their ad- 
vantage to do so. Order early as there promises to be 
an extraordinary large demand this spring. Lb. 2Sc,

C-no^i-T (See Cut.) The wonderful Grain from 
CtUCil^* Russia. Russia has given us Bromus 
Incrmis, the most notable addition to our list of grasses 
in many years. She has come to the front with a grain 
which is fully demonstrated to be of extraordinary value 
for growth on poor soils and in drougthy sections. It is nei- 
ther wheat, rye, nor barley, and yet it appears to be a com- 
bination of these. It is more like wheat than any ot the 
others mentioned. For fattening cattle, poultry, horses, 
sheep, pigs, etc., it is claimed to be ahead of other grains; in 
fact all kinds of animals seem to thrive on it. Speltz is 
claimed to be ahead of corn, superior to oats and more profit- 
able than wheat. Yields 80 to 100 bushels of richer food than 
corn, besides giving as much as 4 tons of good hay per acre. l'.,x- 
cellent for pasture and can also be fed in the green state. As a 
green gra.ss hay food it often gives 100 leafy stalks from one 
seed, which show its heavy stooling properties. The heads are 
somewhat similar to two-rowed barley, the spikelets being sepa- 
rated from each other in such a manner that the crop is not 
easily injured by the weather. It is a heavy yielder. Will 
grow well and

Minnesota Early Amber Sugar 
na-na (See Cut.) This is the only variety of 
V/aUC. cane that makes a fine syrup, clear aa 
crystal Cane syrup made from our Early Amber 
Cane, grown right here in Minnesota, ha-s become 
famous All kinds of stock are exceedingly fond of 
it and the farmers all over the country are begin- 
ning to realize that it is one of the best green fodder 
plants that can be procured. Its carlmess adapts 
It to almost every section of the countrj-, and its 
enormous yield often reaching 20 to 25 bushels ot 
seed and as high as 150 to 250 gallons of syrup per 
acre has made it invaluable for large growers. It 
is exceedingly difficult to procure pure seed, but we 
believe that the stock we have to offer is the best 
that can be ob- 
ained. t-b. 20c

most valuable fod- 
der plant that is 
largely grown in 
Europe and in 
France. While not 
as long lived as 
Alfalfa it will gen- 
erally last from 10 
to 12 years. It is 
an excellent plant 
for feeding to cow.s, 
as it greatly in- 
creases the quantity 
and richness of the 
milk. To obtain 
tile best results seed 
should be sown 
early in the season 
and covered about 
two inches deep, 
and the soil finned 
I with a roller. Val- 
uable for light, dry , 
sandy, gravelly, 
limestone or chalky 
soils. Twocuttings 
may be had e.ach
