Selected Seed Oats 
ROSS “SWEDISH SELECT.” Extra recleaned seed. 
Briefly described the Oat is pure white in color; the 
hull is thin and the kernel large and plump; straw is 
stiff and strong enough not to lodge. A remarkable 
root development makes the Swedish Oat a good 
drought resister—a special feature on light soils. 
Season medium early and the earliest of the heavy 
yielding sorts. Especially suited to high land. Seed 
weighs 40 lbs. per measured bushel. Price, pk., 40c; 
bu. (32 lbs.), $1.40; 3 bus. (full bag and over), 
$1.35 per bu. 
LONG’S WHITE TARTAR. The ideal side Oat for 
American Farmers. The earliest, heaviest and most 
prolific domestic grown Side Oat in cultivation. It 
is suitable for all soils; of robust and vigorous con¬ 
stitution, is remarkably early and an immense cropper; 
the straw is long and stout, stands up well and does 
not readily lodge or twist. The heads measure from 
8 to IOI /2 inches, and the kernels are of immense 
size, thick, plump and heavy; it is undoubtedly the 
heaviest cropping domestic white Oat ever offered. 
Prices on request. 
Rye 
SPRING RYE. True stock, Spring Rye makes an ex¬ 
cellent crop where winter grain has been killed out, 
or for sowing where a fall crop has not been planted. 
If desired it can be turned under and made to answer 
a good purpose in adding to the fertility of the soil. 
Sow seed same time as other spring grain. Price, pk., 
$1.00; bu., $3.75. 
ROSEN WINTER RYE. Rosen Rye produces a strong 
vigorous straw and stools to a remarkable degree. The 
grain is large, plump, heavy and of a beautiful color, 
commanding a premium on the market over other 
grains. Owing to its vigorous stooling property less 
seed is required, the practice being about one and 
one-half bushels per acre. We believe that Rosen 
Rye is cheaper to sow even at double the price of 
common Rye, for the excess yield will more than pay 
for the seed, not to mention the better quality and 
high price to be obtained for the crop. Price, pk., 
55c; bu., $1.85; 10 bus. or over, $1.75 per bu. 
Millets 
Millets are adapted to regions of light rainfall and 
hot weather. Used principally for forage ^nd valuable 
where Timothy is an uncertain crop. The hay is fed to 
dairy cows and sheep, and ranks well above Timothy. 
HUNGARIAN (Hungarian Grass). An excellent food 
for horses when cured. Each root sends up several 
slender stems which often branch. The leaves grow 
upright, rather narrow. Heads are borne erect or 
nearly so, about four inches long, dark purple in 
color. Price, lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $12.00. 
TENNESSEE GOLDEN. This variety is extensively 
used throughout the United States. It is sown at 
the same time and at the same rate per acre as the 
common Millet. Grows more vigorous, gives a much 
larger yield of hay than common Millet. Price, lb., 
20c; 10 lbs., $1.55; 100 lbs., $12.50. 
JAPANESE (Panicum frumentacea). It is entirely dis¬ 
tinct from all other Millets. Grows from 6 to 9 feet 
high, stands up well and yields enormous crops. 
When cured it makes good hay and in quality is 
superior to corn fodder. Relished by all kinds of 
stock and is rich in milk-producing qualities. Price, 
lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.10; 100 lbs., $9.00. 
Soy or Soja Beans 
BLACK WILSON. Medium size, black seed. Considered 
the best all-around variety for the North. Of rather 
upright growth, with a good amount of foliage and 
a slight tendency to vine on fertile soil. Matures seeds 
in 125 days and is ready for cutting in 110 days. A 
heavy seed producer. Pk., 90c; bu., $3.25. 
MANCHU. Matures in about 110 days and is the most 
popular early variety. Plants erect and bushy, pro¬ 
ducing large crops of dry forage and seed. Seed light 
yellow with a black scar. Pk., 90c; bu., $3.25. 
Vetch 
SPRING VETCH OR SPRING TARE. Grown for 
soiling, or sown with oats for feeding green. Sow, if 
alone, 100 pounds to the acre. Price, lb., 15c; 10 
lbs. or over, 12c per lb. 
WINTER, SAND OR HAIRY VETCH (Vicia villa- 
sa). The branches are from 3 to 6 feet long, covered 
with fine hairs. It is extremely hardy. Sowings may 
be made from August 15th to October 1st, or in 
the spring from April 15th to May 15th. For fall 
sowings we advise mixing with Mammoth Red Clover 
or Rye, these giving a support for the vines. Sow, if 
alone, 60 pounds to the acre, or with rye, 45 pounds 
of Vetch and 30 pounds of rye to the acre. Price, 
lb., 22c; 10 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $19.00. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS (Spring Wheat). It has outyielded all other 
snring Wheats grown under the same conditions of 
soil and climate, the increased yield being up to 10 
bushels per acre; is flinty and dark in color, being 
almost dark red. It is a beardless variety, having a 
smooth, yellow chaff. Price pk., 90c; bu., $3.40. 
KLONDIKE (Winter Wheat). Sow early in the fall 
for a good firm root to survive our New England 
winters. Winter Wheat makes an excellent green 
feed, coming very early in the spring and staying in 
condition for feed much longer than spring or winter 
rye. A productive, bald, white varietv, large and 
plump. Price, pk., 75c; bu. (60 lbs.), $2.75.
