Barley 
WHITE HULLESS. About two weeks earlier than the 
common type. Closely resembles wheat, is about as 
heavy and is said to be nearly equal to it in feeding 
value. It has neither hulls nor beards. Price, pk., 70c; 
bu., $2.50. 
CHEVALIER. A two-rowed variety. Head is a little 
longer than the six-rowed varieties and the grain is 
larger, plump, extra heavy and in favorable seasons 
nearly white. Price, pk., 50c; bu., $1.75. 
MANSURY. In our section this six-rowed variety is 
largely grown for forage. It yields abundantly. It is 
early and very vigorous in growth. The straw is 
strong and stiff and seldom lodges. Price, pk., 50c; 
bu., $1.75. 
VELVET. Velvet Barley is a spring, bearded variety; 
the beards are smooth and no barbs. The yield is not 
quite so large as the Common Bearded Spring Bar' 
ley, but the advantage of Velvet Barley offsets that. 
It is reported to us that the Velvet Barley straw is 
suitable for feed and the crop handles as nicely as 
oats. Sow two bushels to the acre. Price, pk., 60c; 
bu., $2.00. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Culture. Rape is best adapted to moist, rich soil in 
which there is plenty of humus. Slough lands are espe' 
dally good. It grows best in cool, moist weather and 
the time for sowing depends upon when the crop is to 
be used. When wanted for pasture, allow 8 to 10 weeks 
for it to attain maximum growth. Price, lb., 12c; 10 lbs. 
$1.00; 100 lbs., $9.00. 
Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
FOR THE SILO 
We believe every farmer, stockman and dairyman 
who must grow feed crops should plant a small area 
with Sunflower. Start now to become familiar with this 
crop, which is destined to be a prominent feed in eco' 
nomical stock feeding. Price, lb., 15c; 100 lbs., $10.00. 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan Grass is strictly an annual and <Jies each year 
like millet. From seven to nine feet high, with very 
small stems. Stock prefer it. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre.

acre of Red Clover.

dant application of lime previous to sowing. August 
is the best time to sow. Price, lb., 28c; 25 lbs. or 
more, 23c per lb. 
GRIMM. Only a few strains of Alfalfa equal, and none 
excel true Grimm Alfalfa in hardiness. It is the safest 
type to sow wherever there is trouble from winter 
killing. Price, lb., 30c; 25 lbs. or more, 24c per lb. 
Use Inoculation for Alfalfa.
