1934 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
PEDIGREED STOCK OF SEED GRAIN 
E very year we get a large number of letters from our customers ask¬ 
ing for lower prices on seed grains than those quoted in the catalog. 
We could quote you lower prices if we were to offer you the seeds as 
they are harvested, which would include all the small seeds, the dried up 
seeds, the weed seeds and everything else that goes into a grain crop under 
ordinary conditions. 
The small grains and the light ones are all thrown out and you have 
ffextra fancy stock. Even at the prices in the catalog, there is only a little 
I profit to us in handling this grain, and we believe that our customers will 
iappreciate the fact that the price is fair considering the quality. 
Did you drive through North Dakota, South Dakota, or Nebraska last 
summer and see field after field yellow with mustard Most of this seed 
was trucked in or shipped in to elevators—sold and planted without clean¬ 
ing. It will take years to get these fields cleaned up again. 
Can you afford to plant this kind of seed when you can buy clean grain 
or planting at our low prices 
We have stored in our warehouses very high quality Seed Grain 
of different varieties, and at our reasonable prices you shouid not 
hesitate to buy liberally. 
BARLEY 
Velvet Barley 
A High Quality Malting Barley 
Also known as Minnesota No. 447. This 
plump, six rowed barley, introduced by the 
Minnesota Experiment Station, was first dis¬ 
tributed in 1926. It is a heavy yielder, it has 
very stiff straw, and is much more disease 
resistant than other varieties. 
The great advantage of this superb new 
barley over other sorts is its freedom from 
the troublesome awns, hence the name, 
N’elvet Barley. It is smootli awned, without any 
barbs, and is therefore much more easily han¬ 
dled than any other barley. However, none of 
the yield was sacrificed in breeding this smooth¬ 
ness of awns. Velvet Barley is meeting with 
widespread approval from thousands of farmers 
who heretofore considered barley a disagree¬ 
able crop to grow. Every farmer ought to plant 
some of this barlev this year. 48 lbs., $1.15; 
% lbs., $2.10; 480 ibs. $9.90; 50 bu. $47.50. 
Blue Hulless Barley 
Not a Malting Barley 
Has no hulls. Earliest and best hog feed 
grown. Yields immense crops that thresh out 
from the hull just as wheat does, better and 
richer for feeding purposes than any other 
barley. Plant for earliest feed. 48 lbs., $1.15; 
96 lbs., $2.10; 240 lbs., $5.15; 480 lbs. $9.90. 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 6 
A Good Malting Barley 
(2 to 214 bu. SOW' one acre) 48 lb. in one bushel. 
To Prof. Moore, the agronomist of the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station belongs the credit for having 
originated this splendid barley. 
The average yield of it in Wisconsin for five 
years has been 3614 bushels per acre, and the 
average yield of common varieties was 20 bushels 
during the same time. Pedigreed Barley grows 
taller than any other six rowed sort and has 
very thin straw which stands up better than 
that of Oderbrucker. The heads are unusually 
large and long and are completely filled out with 
plump grain, which is very uniform in size, brighter 
and whiter than that of most other sorts, and 
very attractive. It is a barley the farmers can 
depend upon to produce a good crop. 48 lbs., 
$1.05; 96 lbs., $2.00; 480 lbs., $9.50; 50 bu., 
$45.00., 
SEED OATS 
logold Oats 
logold, a new variety of oats offered for dis¬ 
tribution by the Farm Crops Section of the 
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station in 1927, 
has three distinct qualities which recommend it 
to Iowa farmers. Its advantages are stiffness 
of straw, high yield of grain and resistance to 
stem rust. 
The seed of logold Oats is still scarce and will 
cost a little more than other varieties but it is 
worth it. Why not be the first in your neighbor¬ 
hood to raise this new oat? 32 lbs., 80c; 96 
lbs., $2.20; 320 lbs., $6.75; 50 bu., $33.00. 
Gopher Oats 
One of the earliest maturing, open-panicled 
with white grain, stiff strawed, and especially 
recommend for southern Minnesota. In the 
past few years its yielding ability has been out¬ 
standing in practically every territory that has 
used it. It is especially high yielding on peat 
lands. 
Gopher oats were originated for the purpose 
of obtaining a high yielding variety with a stiff 
straw. 32 lbs., 75c; 96 lbs., $2.10; 320 lbs., 
$6.50; 50 bu., $31.00. 
lowar Oats 
It is of the Kherson type but newer than 
Iowa 103 or Iowa 105; lowar is a fine white color 
and wonderfully thin; straws quite short and 
ripens extremely early. It has given heavy 
yields in the large number of tests made 
throughout Iowa and Wisconsin. The yield is 
invariably very satisfactory. I recommend this 
variety very highly. Having once grown lowar, 
you will be delighted with it and will praise it 
as highly as the next one. 32 lbs., 75c; 96 lbs,, 
$2.10; 320 lbs., $6.50; 50 bu., $31.00. 
Kherson Oats 
Our seed from this variety is secured from seed 
of the original Taylor importation, and is ab¬ 
solutely pure Kherson Oats. It is a smaller oat 
than most; and takes at least one peck less per 
acre for sowing. This oat should be largely 
planted as the difference of 10 to 15 days in 
earliness of maturity will escape the rust period; 
save that much risk of winds, hail and bugs. 
It also lengthens the harvest sea¬ 
son, allowing you to get along with 
less high-priced help. 32 lbs., 
75c; 96 lbs., $2.10; 320 lbs., 
$6.50; 50 bu., $31.00. 
Regenerated 
Swedish Select Oats 
The best season the new Re¬ 
generated Swedish Select Oats 
have made some wonderful yields 
in the Northwest. They are cer¬ 
tainly the leading late oats at the 
present time and it is probable 
they will continue to be so. It is 
not unusual to see fields growing 
100 bushels per acre and weighing 
as high as 35 lbs. per measured 
bushel. Our stock of this oat 
is strictly pure and at the price 
you should sow a good field. 
32 lbs., 80c; 96 lbs., $2.25; 320 
lbs., $7.00; 50 bu., $34.00. 
WHEAT 
Burbank Quality Wheat 
Burbank Quality Wheat—A new spring wheat 
originated and introduced by Luther Burbank, 
the plant wizard. It has withstood the ravages 
of the Black Rust better than most varieties, 
makes remarkable yields of high quality wheat. 
Sample of this was submitted by us to the 
Terminal Markets and they pronounced it a good 
bread-making wheat that would sell at practical¬ 
ly the same price as the Marquis and other spring 
wheats. 
A man at Self ridge. North Dakota, writes 
that the Black Rust struck his Burbank Quality 
Wheat previous to its maturity but the kernel 
matured and gave him 60 pounds wheat and 
30 bushels per acre. 1 bu. $1.50; 2 bu. $2.80; 
5 bu., $6.75; 10 bu., $12.80; 50 bu., $62.50. 
Marquis Wheat 
The Marquis is an early variety. It is three 
or four days earlier than most of the other Fife 
varieties. Because oi its earliness it escapes the 
drought of dry years, the rust and fall rains of 
wet seasons, and also the early fall frosts. These 
are the characteristics which have made it 
specially valuable iin ,Provinces of Canada. 
Tested at 22 different Experiment Stations. 
Yields showing from 1J4 bushels to 7 bushels 
per acre higher than other varieties of spring 
wheat. 
Marquis Wheat—1 bu., $1.45; 2 bu., $2.70; 
5 bu., $6.40; 10 bu., $12.30; 50 bu,, $60.00. 
Ceres Wheat 
Originated by the North Dakota Experiment 
Station, a cross of Marquis and Kota—outyields 
either,Kota or Marquis. Is highly resistant to 
stem rust and will replace most other varieties 
in the spring wheat belt. Our stock of this new 
wheat was grown in North Dakota. Thoroughly 
recleaned and is fancy seed stock in every re¬ 
spect. 1 bu., $1.50; 2 bu., $2.80; 5 bu., $6.75; 
10 bu., $12.80; 50 bu., $62.50
