The Rocky Mountain Seed Co., Denver, Colo 
Oats 
Sow Z/ 2 bushels to the acre 
SWEDISH SELECT — This oat is today the most largely 
grown of all varieties in the northern states. 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 Select oat a good drought-resister, and espe¬ 
cially suited to high land. It is the earliest of the heavy- 
yielding sorts. 
COLORADO No. 37 —This is a new oat, which has been 
developed in Colorado. The parent stock was selected 
from a field of Swedish type oats, but it has been bred 
up for a number of years until it is a distinct and su¬ 
perior variety. The hull is thicker than Victory, but it 
yields well, and the straw is stiff. Well adapted to 
irrigated and cool, dry upland conditions. 
MARKTON— Markton Oats is the dry land Farmer’s friend. 
It is a distinct improvement on the old 6 0 day oat, being 
heavier, a better yielder and producing more straw. 
Our seed was grown at an altitude of over 6000 feet 
and produced a fine crop the past season under very 
dry and unfavorable climatic conditions. 
VICTORY- —This oat originated a number of years ago in 
Sweden, and since its introduction in this country has 
become mdre popular each year. It is similar to Swed¬ 
ish Select in season. Grain of medium size, short, 
plump, white, thin hull, nearly beardless. A heavy 
yielder. The straw is very stiff and firm. 
BLISS SIDE —This is a very early, hardy, prolific oat, the 
grain resembling the Swedish Select in appearance, but 
is a side variety and is very popular with growers in 
the mountains and short-season districts. 
PRICES ON ALL VARIETIES OF OATS. NOT POSTPAID: Lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50. 
Rye 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre; on 
dry land, 30 to 40 pounds. In ordering spring or fall 
rye, please note that we supply these as spring or fall as 
they are supplied to us, but we cannot guarantee them 
to be such, as it is impossible to determine the variety 
from the appearance of the seed. 
SPRING RYE — Spring rye makes an excellent crop where 
winter grain has been killed or blown out, or for sow¬ 
ing where a fall crop has not been planted. It is sown 
largely for early pasture and is often cut for hay. Sow 
seed same time as other spring grain. It does not grow 
quite as large straw as winter rye, but usually yields as 
well, and the grain is of fine quality. 
FALL OR WINTER RYE — This is the hardiest of any of the 
fall grains, and can be grown on a greater variety of 
soils. It will thrive in dry seasons and on light, sandy 
soils. It is grown for grain, for hay, for pasture and for 
plowing under for soiling purposes. There is no grain 
crop that produces as much and as good pasture as fall 
rye. If sown in August, makes a fine fall and winter 
pasture. Fall rye may also be sown in the spring, when 
it makes splendid summer pasture, as it will not go 
to seed as does the spring rye. 
ROSEN OR PETKUS RYE — A winter rye of recent intro¬ 
duction and is becoming; very popular among growers 
of winter rye. It is said to yield more grain, stools 
more, and is hardier than the older types of winter rye. 
PRICES ON ALL VARIETIES OF RYE. NOT POSTPAID: Lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50. 
Miscellaneous Farm Seeds 
Buckwheat Dwarf Essex Rape 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make profitable 
crops on rather poor land, where other grain would fail. 
It is also largely used as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in 
June of July, using 50 pounds of seed to the acre. 
JAPANESE — This is the largest buckwheat. The plant 
makes a more vigorous and larger growth than the com¬ 
mon kind and yields more. , 
SILVER HULL — The kernels are gray and are much 
smaller than the Japanese variety. They are very plump 
and heavy and make excellent flour. 
Prices on all varieties of Buckwheat. Not Postpaid: Lb., 
15c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 25 lbs., $1.75. 
Flax Seed 
WINONA WILT-RESISTANT —Flax is the best and most 
profitable crop for sod or new lands, growers frequently 
realizing more from ilax on sod than from wheat on 
old ground. Sow early, as soon as possible after danger 
rrom frost has passed. To raise seed, sow one-half 
bushel per acre; for fibre, one bushel. 
BISON FLAX — Success in flax production depends to a 
large extent upon the wilt resistance of the variety 
planted. Bison is a wilt-resistant, large seeded, heavy 
yielding strain. 
Prices on all varieties of Flax. Not Postpaid: Lb., 20c; 
5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 25 lbs., $2.50. 
An Excellent Forage Crop for Sheep and Hogs 
Rape belongs to the cabbage family. It produces a mass 
of broad, smooth leaves which are greatly relished by 
sheep and hogs. It can be pastured off and when stock is 
removed, if not eaten too close, it will grow up again and 
give a second crop. It does best on rather moist land but 
will do well on any good soil. The seed is usually sown 
broadcast, using about 5 pounds per acre. Bow from the 
first to the middle of August. If sown broadcast on corn 
ground after the last cultivating it makes good pasture 
after the corn is removed. Not Postpaid: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
80c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.50. 
Vetch 
HAIRY, OR BAND VETCH— An excellent plant for a winter 
cover crop to prevent leaching; also for forage and fer¬ 
tilizing. If sown in August or September it will make a 
good crop of forage the following spring. It is quite 
hardy and very seldom winter kills unless planted on 
wet, heavy soil. It is being used extensively in this 
vicinity for plowing under; also for dairy stock and 
poultry pasture. Sow 6 0 to 9 0 pounds per acre. Not 
Postpaid: Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., $2.00; 25 
lbs., $4.50. 
SPRING VETCHES OR TARES — Similar in growth to Sand 
Vetch, but for spring planting only. Not Postpaid: Lb.. 
20c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $3.50.
