SUNFLOWER 
The seed is highly valued by farmers and 
poultry breeders who have tried it. Single 
heads measure 12 to 20 inches in diameter, 
and contain large quantities of seed, and can 
be raised much cheaper than corn. This is a 
profitable crop for the farmer to grow, as 
there is a big demand for the seed to mix 
in poultry feeds. Five to ten pounds will 
plant an acre. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
FIELD SEED PRICES 
It is needless for us to mention the scarcity 
of good planting field seeds, because you know 
as well as we what the long drouth did to 
crops in the seed producing sections the past 
season. This naturally affects prices and pre¬ 
vents us from listing field seeds in larger 
quantities in our catalogue. Should you be 
in the market for large quantities of field 
seeds of any kind, please send us a list of 
your probable requirements, showing the 
amount of each item, and we will take pleas¬ 
ure in quoting you prices.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Rape is one of the most valuable forage 
plants, its many uses being considered, that 
has ever been introduced into the United 
States. The use of Rape has grown in a 
few years from a few thousand pounds of 
seed used, to thousands of tons of seed per 
year. Until lately, Rape has been grown 
mostly for sheep pasture, but in recent years 
people have learned that is equally valu¬ 
able as a forage crop for cattle, hogs, and 
poultry. The young, tender leaves of Rape 
make fine greens for table use and are pre¬ 
ferred by some to mustard and other greens. 
To those of our customers who are not fa¬ 
miliar with Rape, we will say that it grows 
somewhat like a cabbage plant before the 
cabbage begins to head up; however, the 
Rape makes a larger plant, often 18 inches 
to 2 feet high, under favorable weather con¬ 
ditions and on good soil Rape will produce 
from 10 to 25 tons of green forage per acre. 
It can be grown in the fall as it stands our 
winters without killing; it can also be sown 
in the spring with good results. Sow in drills 
at the rate of 5 to 8 pounds per acre. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 
15c; 20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities. 
RYE 
Farmers, dairymen, and stock raisers are 
appreciating more the value of Rye as a 
winter pasture crop. Sow at the rate of l^i 
to 1 l a bushels per acre. 
FALL OR WINTER. Rye has long been 
recognized as one of our best grains for win¬ 
ter pasture. The seed we offer is all thor¬ 
oughly recleaned and tested for germination. 
Pk., 65c; bu., $2.00; 10 bu., $19.00, not pre¬ 
paid. Ask for prices on larger quantities.

CERESAN—A SUPERIOR DUST DISINFECTANT 
Ceresan is the ethyl mercury chloride dust disinfectant that has been developed for the effective control of cer¬ 
tain seed-borne diseases of wheat, oats, rye, millet and sorghums, such as kaffir corn and milo maize. 
As a finely ground dust which readily adheres to all seed grains, Ceresan is easily and quickly applied. Ceresan 
is packed in air-tight containers and, if kept dry, is good until used. 
Seed grains treated with Ceresan are covered with a protective coating of disinfectant which is effective imme¬ 
diately in destroying seed-borne fungi and bacteria and in protecting the seed after planting against rotting caused 
by certain soil infesting organisms.
