THE C.vS. BRENT SEED CO. I" 
Selected Seed Oats 
We take a great 
deal of pride in the 
quality of the Seed 
Oats which we offer 
to our trade. Thev 
are always 
selected and 
recleaned over 
our own mills. 
BURT, or ‘JO- DAY 
OATS— This Oats has 
been extensively 
grown in Tennessee 
for years and has 
lately come into use 
in Kentucky. The 
color is between a 
gray and yellow — 
looks like a stained 
White pat — straw is 
stiff and stands un 
well and makes an 
excellent yield. As it 
ripens before anv 
other grain it is espc* 
cially desirable for 
early feeding. For 
prices see colored 
pages. 
RED or T E X A S 
R I ST-PROOF.— This 
Oat originally came from the Southwest. The heads 
are unusually long and heavy. Sometimes the heads 
start within a few Inches of the ground. When this 
is the case it should be mowed and cured as hay. 
Ordinarily it can be handled in the usual manner. To 
be used as sheaf oats this variety is superior to any 
other. For prices see colored pages. 
Oats 
WINTER TURF OATS. — The best and hardiest of 
oats. When sown early, they are far superior to 
Spring Oats. They yield ordinarily 40 to 00 bushels 
to the acre, but under favorable conditions yields of 
over 100 bushels to the acre have been reported. The 
grain is of a dark gray color. Very heavy with a thin 
hull, and tests 40 to 42 pounds to the bushel. On 
good land they grow 4 to 5 feet high, producing both 
the best quality of feeding oats and better and more 
palatable straw for stock. Sow 1 to 2 bushels to the 
acre. For prices see eolored pages. 
SI PERBA WHITE OATS. — This is an early winter 
variety. The straw is of medium height and very 
strong. We have never heard of a case of its lodging. 
The grain is large and plump, very heavy, with a 
thin hull. This oat, on account of its great pro- 
ductiveness, will give wonderful returns. With a 
favorable season. 90 to 100 bushels to the acre and on 
exceptionally good ground as high as 1 2f» bushels to 
the acre. For prices see colored pnges. 
HHITE SPRING OATS. — Our stocks of these oats 
are especially nice. They are northern grown and 
have been carefully recleaned by us. For prices see 
colored pages. 
BLACK MIXED OATS. — These oats grow taller and 
yield a little better than the white, and for this rea- 
son are preferred to use on mode*ate or thin land. 
They make more foliage than white Spring Oats and 
are better to cut green. For prices see colored pages.

this country. It Is claimed by some to he the primi- 
tive wheat the kind grown hy the ancients. It re- 
eemhles Rye In the habit of growth Is early will 
stand drought, yields well, makes a fine pasture or 
hay. The grain resembles wheat, hut has a husk like 
barley.

bushels to the acre. Bushel Is forty pounds.

Seed Wheat 
Wc sell thousands of bushels ol the best and most 
improved varieties of Seed Wheal every year, and our 
wheats have attained a very high reputation on ac- 
count of their cleanliness and superior quality. We 
issue in August a descriptive list of Seed Wheat and 
other seeds lor Fall sowing, which we will talto pleas- 
ure in mailing to anyono upon request. 
Broom Corn 
CULTURE. — Sow in drills 3 ft. apart at the rate of 
3 to 5 lbs. per acre, thinning out stalks up about 70 
to the rod. Cultivate as for corn. Rich land requires 
thicker seeding and more stalks than medium or poor 
soil. Cut when the seed is in the milk state. For 
prices see colored pages. 
OKLAHOMA DWARF. — A favorite sort in the 
Southwest on account of its earliness, dwarf habit, 
robust growth, extreme productiveness and long well- 
libred brush. It averages 5 ft. high and has great 
drought-resisting qualities. Seed can be allowed to 
ripen without danger to the brush, and stalks make 
excellent fodder which Is relished by stock. On 
account of its large yielding, moderate height and 
general good qualities, it is positively the best of all 
lor Southern States. For prices see colored pages. 
EVERGREEN. — Wherever the location is suitable 
for growing Broom Corn, farmers find It a paying 
crop, the demand for the brush exceeding the supply. 
This evergreen variety grows about S to 10 feet high, 
stands up well, and is entirely free from crooked 
brush. The fiber is long and line. It will not get red 
in the field before it is cut. but Is strictly a green 
variety of brush. For prices see colored pages. 
Barley 
BEARDLESS SPRING BARLEY.— A very valuable 
variety. The earliest barley known. The straw is 
about the height of common barley but better, and 
will stand up on any land; on good land will produce 
SO bushels per acre. Sow as early as you can; frost 
does not hurt it. Many farmers will not grow bar- 
ley on account of 
the long. harsh 
beards which are 
so disagreeable in 
threshing, al- 
though it is ii 
profitable crop. 
This is beardless 
and easy to grow 
a n d handle a s 
oats. It has hulls 
like any other old 
variety, and is a 
heavy cropper, 
yielding from 50 
to 75 bushels per 
acre, and the qual- 
Beardless Barley 
ity is excellent, 
both for maltinp 
and for feeding 
hogs. For price* 
see colored pages.
