Northern Grown Seeds are Purest and Best 
FIEUD SEEDS—(Continued) 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
A most wonderfully prolific, hardy Buckwheat. A yield of 60 bushels per 
acre is common. It is a long bloomer, the kernels more than double the size 
of other varieties. It makes the finest flour and earlier than Silver Hull. Sow 
about middle of June, 1 to iy 2 bushels to the acre. 
Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $2.25 
SPRING RYE 
A most profitable crop, quite different from Winter Rye. Valued wherever 
known as a catch crop. Can be sown later than any other Spring grain. 
Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain to the acre. Sow 1 % to 2 bushels to the 
acre. Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $2.75 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Excellent for horses and pigs when sown with oats. They can be fed 
green or dry. They will grow on land that will not produce clover. Sow 1% 
to 3 bushels to the acre; or, if with oats, sow 1 bushel of each. Pea and oat 
hay is commonly known among our best dairymen as a very valuable feed, 
which in many cases cannot be equalled. Can be sown in March or early in 
April. Extra fine quality for seeding. Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $3.50 
COW PEAS 
Are more tender than Canada Field Peas, and should not be sown until 
corn-planting time. Cow peas, being a very rapid growth during the warm 
weather, can be sown as late as the middle of July, with assurance of a profit¬ 
able crop either for harvesting or plowing under. Sow 1 bushel to the acre. 
The best Brown Whippoorwill. Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $4.50 
SOJA BEANS 
Valuable for soiling, hay and silage. A great soil builder and food plant.

Heavy yielders, 2 0 to 40 bushels per acre. Sow middle of May to June when 
the ground warms up. Sow 1 to 1 y 2 bushels to the acre. 
Mammoth Yellow. Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $2.75 
Black Wilson. Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $2.65 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE

September with grain alone 4 to 6 lbs. to the acre. It is adapted for sheep 
pasture. Ruby Brand. Price per pound, 10c 
VETCHES 
Also called Sand or Hairy Vetch. Will succeed on poor soil, but does 
much better on rich soil when it will grow 4 to 5 feet high. Sow 1% to 2 
bushels to the acre with 1 bushel of oats, in May. If pastured off when not 
too far advanced, it will readily grow up again and again. The seed is also 
used for Pigeon feed. Ruby Brand. Price per pound, 8c 
CANE OR SORGHUM 
Great for feed as well as for making syrup. Every stock farmer should 
have some. It can be grown everywhere. It can be used as a pasture or 
fodder plant. It is readily eaten by cattle and horses, by mules, sheep, swine 
and fowl, and in fact by every animal you need fodder for. Sow 1 to 1% 
bushels to the acre. Ruby Brand. Price per bushel, $3.00 
BROOM CORN SEED 
Improved Evergreen—Farmers will find this a paying crop. It grows 8 
to 10 feet high; the fibre is long and fine; will not turn red in the field. It 
is strictly a green variety. Sow 10 to 12 qts. to acre. Price per pound, 25c 
BARLEY SIX-ROW 
Finest sort for growing in Pennsylvania. Is the earliest variety, making a 
quick growing crop of excellent and nutritious green fodder. It will also make 
a good grain crop to feed green or to cure as hay. The grain is excellent for 
poultry food. Sow 2 % bushels per acre as early as ground can be worked. 
Price per bushel of 48 pounds, $2.50
