Pride of the North Corn. An early Dent va- 
riety which has been grown in the East to some 
extent for grain, but more for ensilage. Although 
not of as rank growth as the other varieties of this 
type, it is, on account of its early production of ears, 
popular with some for the latter purpose, especially 
with those having cold, clayey soil. Qt. 15 cts., 
pk. 50 cts., bus. $1.40. 
Giant White Rye. Called Giant, for the straw 
generally grows to 8)4 feet in height, and it is noted 
for the white, sweet flour that it makes. 
Spring Rye. Is valuable for sowing when winter 
grain has been killed. It ripens early and produces 
an abundance of grain and straw. 
Winter Rye. The standard variety used for 
fall sowing; is superior for winter use. 
Common Barley. Barley succeeds best on rich 
lands more sandy and lighter than those adapted 
to wheat. It is sown in the spring and can be grown 
farther north than any other grain. Unless intended 
for seed it should be cut before fully ripe as it is 
then heavier, of better quality and less liable to 
shell. Use about 2)4 bus. to the acre. Market price. 
Seed Oats, Big Four. One of the best all-round 
Seed Oats. 
Silver-Hull Buckwheat. This improved variety 
is much better than the old sort. It is in bloom 
longer, matures sooner, and yields double the quan- 
tity per acre. The husk is thinner, the corners less 
prominent and the grain of beautiful light gray 
color. The flour is said to be better and more 
nutritious. 
Japanese Buckwheat. This plant is of stronger 
growth than common Buckwheat, while the kernels 
are fully twice the size. The flour is fully equal in 
quality to that of other Buckwheats, and it will 
succeed through the Eastern States. Pk. 50 cts., bus. 
$1.25.

one variety of Rape that has proved profitable to 
sow in America, and that is the Dwarf Essex.

feet apart at the rate of 2)4 lbs. of seed to the acre.

seed to the acre.

18 inches in height; always productive; have small 
round seed. Pkt. 5 cts., qt. 20 cts., 2 qts. 35 cts., 
pk. $1.25.

grown as an annual in the North. Desirable as a 
forage plant, and valuable as a cover-crop for 
orchards. Culture same as field peas. Sow 2 bushels 
to the acre. 
Winter Vetch. It succeeds and produces good 
crops on poor, sandy soils, although it is more vigor- 
ous on good land and grows to a height of 4 to 5 
feet. It is perfectly hardy, remaining green all 
winter, and should be sown during August and 
September, mixed with rye, which serves as a sup- 
port for the plants.

Mixed. Comprising only newest and choicest varieties. Pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., )4 lb. 20c., lb. 60c. 
ARMOUR’S PURE ANIMAL FERTILIZERS 
Some seed doesn’t bring harvest, but you can’t harvest without seed. This is an unfailing principle. 
There arc many other conditions which must be met to insure even a fair harvest. The seed must have 
attention — must be fed and carefully nourished — the seed must be made to grow. It receives its nourish- 
ment from the soil, consequently the soil must be fed with the plant-food necessary for the proper nutri- 
tion of the plants. This is supplied by the application of proper fertilizers. Farm fertilizers are good, but 
in most cases they do not supply in sufficient quantity and balance the elements necessary to the highest 
soil fertility or crop-development. This is found in the best form in the Armour Pure Animal Fertilizers. 
The brands produced by the Armour Fertilizer Works are the best fertilizers that can be manufactured, 
and contain all the elements necessary to the highest possible soil and development. They are made from 
the best animal materials obtainable, and adapted to all conditions of soil. The mechanical condition 
is perfect. The consistent application of Armour’s Fertilizers will result in increased soil-fertility, increased 
crops and a consequent increase in profit. No soil is so poor but that it will be benefited by the proper 
application of Armour's Animal Fertilizers.
