Golden Learning Corn 
NEW MARQUIS (Spring Wheat)—Our seed 
wheat is guaranteed to be all new crop, and like 
all our seed, tested as to vitality before sent out. 
We list only one variety, as New Marquis has 
proven to be far ahead of any other variety and 
the best money maker for the grower. 
WINTER WHEAT —Write for special informa¬ 
tion on all varieties. 
OATS 
SWEDISH REGENERATED —Considered by 
many to be the most valuable oats raised in the 
Northwest. The grain is heavy, short, plump and 
white. Owing to its great root development it 
stands heat, cold, wet and dry weather better than 
many other varieties. They are early and not 
liable to rust or smut. 
WHEAT 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS— This grass is sown 
with success in grass mixtures. Best on limestone soils. 
30 pounds to the acre. 
RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS (Argostis Vulgaris) 
—One of the most desirable grasses in cultivation. The 
first year Red Top grows somewhat slowly. It im¬ 
proves with age, however, becomes very vigorous and 
spreads rapidly by means of its creeping rootstocks, 
like Bermuda. It is fine for lawns. 
Ripens about the same time as tim¬ 
othy. Sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
BERMUDA GRASS —There is no 
grass that will stand the summer 
Bermuda will succeed well on any 
kind of soil. The only objection, it 
dies out in the winter. Do not sow 
in connection with anything in the 
spring that would create shade. 
SHEEP FESCUE (Festuca Ov- 
ina)—Most valuable as a pasture 
grass for high and dry situations, 
affording good grazing where other 
varieties burn out. 
SUDAN GRASS —Is recommended 
for the hot, dry regions. Does well 
in almost any soil or climate. It 
belongs to the sorghum family, 
growing from 4 to 7 feet high, with 
small stems and an abundance of 
broad leaves. Its root system is sim¬ 
ilar to that of millet. It stools freely 
and produces the best hay of any of 
the sorghum family. 8 pounds per 
acre. 
TIMOTHY —In this country Tim¬ 
othy is the king of all grasses and 
is adapted to a wider range of con¬ 
ditions than any other variety of grasses. The seed 
should be sown broadcast on a fresh seed bed and cov¬ 
ered very lightly in the fall or spring. 15 pounds 
an acre. 
ORCHARD GRASS —One of the most desirable and 
earliest varieties of grasses for sowing in orchards, 
pastures, or in shady places. It grows rapidly, thrives 
in loamy land, and does not suffer from close feeding. 
SILVER MINE —This oats has made for itself a 
reputation as an exceedingly heavy and reliable yield- 
er, and is very hardy and prolific. Yields beautiful 
white kernels. The heads are large and long, borne low 
down on the stalk which seems to prevent lodging. 
CORN 
GOLDEN MORTGAGE LIFTER —This is one of 
the most wonderful varieties ever nitroduced and a 
great money maker, really a mort¬ 
gage lifter. Ears large, 10 to 12 
inches long, completely filled with 
grains about three-fourths of an 
inch long. Small cob and deep 
grains, makes it weigh heavy. 
GOLDEN LEAMING —This va¬ 
riety is of deep golden color well 
filled at butt and tip. The rows of 
kernels are .yery straight and dis¬ 
tinct. Ears range from 7 to 10 
inches in circumference and from 9 
to 11 inches in length and will 
weigh from 12 to 17 ounces. 
IOWA SILVER MINE —Ears 
well filled, and the grains very close 
together. It is a fine sheller. It 
will grow good yields on poor soil. 
KAFFIR CORN 
WHITE KAFFIR— The most pop¬ 
ular on account of the seed being 
large. Grows 4 to 5 feet high. The 
stems are very leafy and keep green 
and brittle, unlike other sorghums, 
which harden. Makes excellent fod¬ 
der, either green or dried. 
RED KAFFIR CORN— This va 
riety grows taller than the white. 
The seed is red, smaller than that 
of the white, and hard and brittle. 
BROOM CORN 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN —Best variety for gen¬ 
eral cultivation, on account of color and quality of 
brush; ripens very early; brush of good length, fine 
and straight, and always of green appearance when 
ripe.
