Postage extra. See Inside front cover. 
Barley—Six-Rowed 
Finest sort for growing in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. Makes 
a good stiff straw, standing up well. Is the earliest variety, making 
a quick growing crop of excellent and nutritious green fodder, and 
is Rowing in popularity wherever used. It will also make a good 
grain crop, although its principal value is an early nutritious forage 
orop to feed green or to cure as hay. If for the latter it should be 
cut when in the milky state. Sow 2)^ bushels per acre as early as 
ground can be worked. 
Per bu. (48 lbs.), $1.92; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 60c.; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
Buckwheat—Japanese 
Makes the finest buckwheat flour. The seed is grown from the 
largest type imported from Japan, and is much larger in ^ain than 
that usually offered. It ripens fully a week earlier than Silver Hull, 
straw is heavier and jdeld double. It branches more and does not 
need to be sown as thickly as other varieties. For bees it is of the 
greatest value and for this purpose has displaced all others. Sow 1 
bushel per acre in June or July. 
Per bu. (48 lbs.), $2.16; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 65c.; 100 lbs., $4.50. 
Selected Seed Oats 
New Victory. —This splendid, white branch Oat originated at 
the Royal Seed Breeding School of Svallof, Sweden. Straw is good 
length, stands up well and has a strong root system. Heads are 
branching and well filled with grain of the finest quality for milling 
or feeding purposes. The New Victory has been grown successfully 
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, 
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska. In 
Shelby County, Ill., these Oats yield^ 134 Bushels per acre. 
Other states gave jdelds of 90, 95, 100 and 105 bushels per acre. 
In Sweden where the weather was cool and ideal for maturing an 
oat crop, the Victory Oats yielded 125 to 150 bushels per acre, 
grain testing 40 to 48 pounds per bushel. 
Per bu. (32 lbs.), $1.92; lb., 13c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
Swedish Select. —Scientific breeders of seed in Sweden have 
devoted themselves to the improvement of Oats. Probably Swed¬ 
ish Select is the best all-around oat among them. It thrives well 
on all soils, is a strong grower and a great drought resister. The 
grain is short, plump and heavy. This variety is strongly recom¬ 
mended by the United States Department of Agriculture. 
Per bu. (32 lbs.), $1.60; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 70c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
Speltz or Emmer 
This grain is of comparatively recent introduction in this country. 
It is claimed by some to be the primitive wheat, the kind grown by 
the ancients. It resembles rye in habit of growth, is early, will 
stand drought, yields well, makes a fine pasture or hay. The grain 
resembles wheat, but has a husk like barley. Sow in spring broad¬ 
cast or in drills 1^ to 2 bushels per acre. 
Per bu. (40 lbs.), $1.60; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 60c.; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
Sorghum or Cane—Early Amber 
Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, which can be 
fed either green or cured; and will yield two or three cuttings a 
year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. The saccharine mat¬ 
ter is of the &)e8t quality, and it also produces a fine sugar or syrup. 
It grows ten to twelve feet high. This is the favorite sort in Northern 
and many Western States. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre 
in drills 3H to 4 feet apart. 
Per bu. (50 lbs ), $4.00; lb., 15c.; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $8.00. 
Sunflower—Mammoth 
Russian 
Usually a very profitable field crop, the seed being used for bird 
and poultry feed. Plant and cultivate same as corn. 
Lb., 20c.; 10 lbs.. $1.50; 100 lbs., $10.00. 
Spring Rye 
Although this grain is often planted, esp>ecially for papermakers, 
who prefer it to any other, its principal value is as a “catch” crop 
to sow where winter grain has failed. The straw is shorter and 
stiffer than that of the winter variety and is more easily harvested. 
The grain although smaller, is of equal value. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $3.36; lb., 13c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
Winter Rye 
Abruzzl. —This variety of winter rye is becoming more popular 
each year. It is ready for grazing about ten days earlier than any 
other sort, and will produce nearly as much grain. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $1.96; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 55c.; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Rosen. —This new Russian rye is said to be the best variety now 
grown. The grain is large, plump and of light color. Straw is 
strong, very long and stands up well. The heads are long, well filled 
and an unusually heavy yielder. The Rosen is a distinct improve¬ 
ment over common rye and should be more extensively grown. 
Sow bushels per acre. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $1.96; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 55c.; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Jersey, or Common. —For plowing under. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $1.82; lb.. 10c.; 10 lbs. 50c.; 100 lbs., $3.25. 
Spring Wheat—Marquis 
This famous variety is of Canadian origin. It attracted great 
attention at the New York Grain Exposition in 1911 when it was 
awarded the $1000 prize given by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy for the 
best wheat in America. It is extremely early and productive. A 
five year average at the Brandon Experiment Station was 44 bushels 
per acre. Milling tests show that it contains a ^eater amount of 
gluten, is a better color and shows greater absorption than any other 
spring wheat. 
Per bu. (60 lbs.), $3.60; lb., 13c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
Winter Seed Wheat

or October, north of Virginia; further south as late as November.

Pennsylvania 44 
Penns^vania 44 Wheat is a selection of Fulcaster originating from 
a single Lead, selected in 1909 in a field of Fulcaster at the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Agriculture Exi>eriment Station. In appearance it resembles 
the parent variety, but has a ranker growth of straw. It has red 
grains, is bearded, has white chaff and purple straw. 
In milling and bread-making qualities it is like Fulcaster, one of 
the best bread varieties grown in the state. 
In stiffness of straw, it is like Fulcaster and others of that type, 
and on rich soil or soil heavily manured it is likely to lodge. 
At the Agriculture Experiment Station in the 10 years, ending in 
1923, it surpassed the next highest in yield by an average of over 
three bushels per acre and in 91 farmers’ co-operative tests conducted 
in various parts of the state, from 1919 to 1922, it averaged over five 
bushels more wheat per acre than the other varieties. 
Klondike. —An exceptionally vigorous, white grained, bald 
wheat. A great stooler and withstands unfavorable weather con¬ 
ditions better than most white grained varieties. An excellent sort 
for milling. 
Miracle. —Is a bearded, red grained sort, a little larger than the 
average wheat and its remarkable stooling habit makes it a heavy 
cropper. A popular milling sort. 
Red Wave. —A vigorous, tall growing, red grained, bald variety. 
Popular on account of its hardiness, stooling £md good gelding quali¬ 
ties. It stands unfavorable weather conditions much better than 
the average wheat; extremely hardy, giving satisfaction every¬ 
where. The grain is large and plump and well liked by millers.
