FIELD SEED 
WESTERN RYE GRASS 
(Appropyrum Tenerum.) (Sometimes 
called Slender Wheat Grass.) It affords 
excellent pasturage and provides large 
quantities of hay. It thrives on all soils, 
but is peculiarly adapted to prairie soils. 
It gives good returns on land quite strong¬ 
ly impregnated with alkali and fits it so 
that grain may be sown successfully. 
When sown alone as the common prac¬ 
tice, the seed should be put in from one to 
three inches deep, according to soil and 
season, 15 pounds to the acre. If with 
Bromus Inermis, IV 2 pounds each. Write 
for prices. 
FETERITA 
This is the most recent of non-sacherine 
sorghums to command the attention of 
“dry farmers” on account of its wonderful 
yield and drought resistant qualities, be¬ 
ing 20 to 40 days earlier than Kaffir Corn, 
and has given immense crops in the driest 
seasons without having received a drop of 
rain. Makes splendid fodder as well as 
giving a good grain yield. Try Feterita. 
1 lb. 10c. Write for quantity prices. 
BROMUS INERMIS 
Drought defying, frost resisting. Yields 
enormous crops of splendid hay and af¬ 
fords early and abundant pasturage. It 
starts from two to three weeks earlier in 
the Spring than native prairie grass and 
it keeps green in the Autumn longer than 
any of the useful grasses grown in the 
West. No amount of cold seems to be 
able to kill it. It bears up well under hot 
Summer suns. It will grow under condi¬ 
tions that are very dry, and it can also 
stand being covered with water, not deep, 
of course, for one or two weeks in the 
early Spring. 
This grass may be sown at any time of 
the year when the ground is bare, but the 
best season is in the Spring, and with or 
without a nurse crop. Fifteen pounds of 
good Bromus Inermis an acre is sufficient.

tity prices. 
EARLY FORTUNE MILLET 
A most promising variety, of which as¬ 
tonishing yields are reported. It is very 
early, and is claimed to be rust proof, and 
that cinch bugs will not eat the plant. 
The seed is very beautiful and distin¬ 
guished in appearance and is of a beautiful 
red color. The seed is two or three times 
the size of German Millet. This variety 
heads in from 25 to 35 days. It gives a 
large yield both of seed and fodder. It can 
be fed to horses and other stock without 
injury, even when cut so late that the seed 
has formed. The seeds are smooth, the 
heads are branching and in other respects 
this variety is similar to Hog Millet except 
for the color of the seed. 1 lb. 10c; 12 
lbs. $1.00. 
GERMAN MILLET 
True Southern Grown Seed 
Millet seed produced in the North, even 
from southern seed, becomes what we call 
Common Millet. Not only does the plant 
change in character, becoming coarser and 
much more dwarf, but the seed itself 
shows a change, and is readily distin¬ 
guished by those experienced in handling. 
German Millet is very sweet, palatable, 
and when fed to dairy cows produces a 
large amount of milk. On good, rich soil 
it grows four or five feet high. It is very 
tender if cut at the right stage, which is 
when it is in full bloom. About three- 
fourths of a bushel of seed is sown to the 
acre. A good yield is from three to five 
tons of hay to the acre. 1 lb. 10c; 12 lbs. 
$1.00. Write for quantity prices. 
MANITOBA OR HOG MILLET 
The seed is very rich and thus especial¬ 
ly valuable as a hog feed. A very much 
prized peculiarity of this millet is that the 
seed ripens while the stem is yet green; 
thus if cut promptly can be threshed for 
the seed, while the hay, after being thresh¬ 
ed, will make excellent fodder. Sow same 
as other millet. 1 lb. 10c. Write for quan¬ 
tity prices. 
CANADIAN FIELD PEAS, GREEN 
Height of vine 3 to 4 feet. Of the 
same general character as Canada Yellow 
Peas. Used for the same purpose, but the 
seed is green instead of yellow. 1 lb. 10c; 
100 lbs. $5.50. Write for quantity prices. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
It is an annual, bearing a close resem¬ 
blance in leaf and stalk to the Ruta Baga, 
but both leaves and stalks are more numer¬ 
ous in the Rape plant, and of a taller habit 
of growth. It is a pasture plant which 
may be eaten off by any kind of live¬ 
stock, but it is pre-eminently fitted to fur¬ 
nish pasture for sheep, cattle and swine. 
A good crop will furnish at least 12 tons 
of green food an acre. 1 lb. 15c; 25 lbs. 
$3.30. 
PEANUTS 
The peanut is grown in this locality and 
does well if properly taken care of. Should 
be planted about April 15th and may be in 
hills about 3 feet apart each way. Seed 
may be hulled or in pod. Per lb. 30c, post¬ 
paid. 
EARLY AMBER CANE 
Furnishes a large yield of most nutri¬ 
tive forage, which can be fed either green 
or cured and will yield two or three cut¬ 
tings a year, stooling out thicker each time 
it is cut. It grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow 
broadcast for forage at the rate of 60 
pounds per acre. When sown in drills, sow 
at the rate of 10 pounds per acre in drills 
SV 2 to 3 feet apart. 1 lb. 10c; 100 lbs. 
$ 6 . 00 .
