One Plant Crimson Clover. (Drawn from Nature.) 
Improved Dietz Longberry Wheat. 
CRIMSON OR SCARLET C'LOYER. 
( Trifoliwn incarnation .) 
The Great Soil Improver, Early Green Feed, Grazing or 
for Hay Crop. 
Soiling, or early green fee 1, is important in the early spring. ' 
As Crimson Clover is so much ahead of the pasture it can he 
readily cut and carried to the stabled stock. It will not make 
a second crop in time for turning under for green manure. 
Fertilizer. This is one of the best uses to which Crimson 
Clover is adapted. Its capacity for stooling and root form¬ 
ation is very great; like other plants it gathers nitrogen from 
the air and stores it in the plants and roots, which become 
valuable food for crops that follow. 
Pasturage. When s nvn early en mgh to get a good start 
Crimson Clover will make a splendid winter grazing for sheep 
and cattle, and is the earliest pasture in spring. 
Hay. Crimson Clover produces from 2 to 3 t ms of cured Ilay 
per acre. To secure the best quality of Hay it should be cut 
before full bloom. It cures very rapidly and should be care¬ 
fully handled to retain as mu:h leaf as possible, but the stalks 
are very nutritious.

RAPE. 
Rape, Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of the highest value. 
It can be sown in this latitude as late as September, and still 
later further South ; it is sown broadcast at the rate of 10 lbs. 
to the acre, but is better drilled, in which case 5 lbs. to the 
acre are enough. In a few weeks from time of sowing, sheep, 
hogs or cattle can be turned on it, and all reports agree that 
they gain weight faster on this than any other fodder. 15 cts.

$3 25; per 100 lbs., $6 00. Add cost of bags (18 cts.) for

SELECTED SEED WHEAT. 
Fultzo-riediterranean Wheat ( Bald). A cross of Fultz 
on Hybrid Mediterranean, which has absorbed the best quali¬ 
ties of both. The heads are large and full of beautiful, plump, 
red grains. The straw is stout and stiff, thereby enabling it to 
stand up well. This new variety is productive, and makes a 
crop of more than the average yield. Peck, 60 cts.; bus., 
$1.75. Add cost of bags (18 cts.) for each 2-lnishel. 
Improved Dietz Longberry Wheat (Bearded). This val¬ 
uable early wheat will do well on all kinds of soil. Sown 
either early or late, it always yields a large crop of choice 
high-grade wheal, even after hard, icy winters. It is a very 
close-chafed wheat, and holds the berry tight. Peck, 50 cts.; 
bus.. $1.60. Add cost of bags (18 cts.) for each 2-bushel. 
Improved Fultz Wheat (Bald). This variety is more widely 
known in the United States than any other kind, and probably 
more acreage is sown of this than any other ; grows to a medi¬ 
um height, with stiff, strong straw, ripens early, and seldom 
fails to make a good crop. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1 60. Add 
cost of bags (18 cts.) for each 2 -bushel.
