Soft Winter Wheat 
Sow from Aug. 25th until middle of November, 114 to 1% 
bus. per acre. 
COMMON RYE. Standard for years as a winter cover and 
grazing crop. 
ROSEN. Developed in Michigan—strong, vigorous stalk, 
extra large, plump grains; a heavy yielder of grain and 
splendid grazing crop. 
ABRTJZZI RYE. A distinct variety, far better than any other, 
in that it grows very much faster and stools much heavi¬ 
er, which means doubling the amount of grazing on an 
acre. You can start grazing earlier after sowing and keep 
it up longer. Three pecks to one bushel abruzzi plants an 
acre against 5 to 6 pecks of other Rye—this makes Abruz¬ 
zi cost less to plant, yet you get more in return.
