Field or Stock Peas 
Sow 50 to 60 pounds per acre 
■>* 
For Colorado and the Western States, there is no crop 
of greater value than Field Peas; nor a crop more neg¬ 
lected. They make good ensilage, and are admirable feed, 
either green or dry, for cattle, being highly nutritious and 
rich in milk-producing elements. 
SAN LUIS VALLEY OR COLORADO STOCK PEAS —This pea 
is g-rown most extensively here, and is undoubtedly the 
best for the mountain districts. It is very hardy, pro¬ 
ducing- an abundance of vines, which can be harvested 
Tor hay, or ir permitted to mature, the peas excel corn 
for fattening- sheep and hog-s. Not Postpaid: Lb., 15c; 
5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 90c; 25 lbs., $1.50. 
WHIP-POOR-WILL COW PEAS —The vines when cut 
green, make the best of hay. When permitted to ripen, 
make an excellent table pea. Not Postpaid: Lb., 20c; 
5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.50. 
SOUTHERN BLACK-EYE PEAS —The dry peas are excel¬ 
lent for table use, and find ready sale during the win¬ 
ter. They are very hardy and prolific. Vines make ex¬ 
cellent forage or hay. This pea has proven a great suc¬ 
cess in the dry land or non-iyrigated districts of the 
West. Its roots seem to penetrate deeper and stand 
drought and heat better. Especially adapted to hot, dry, 
non-irrigated districts. Not Postpaid: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.50. 
Sunflower 
Quite exten¬ 
sively grown 
for feeding. 
Sow in rows 3 
to 3 y 2 feet 
apart and thin 
to a foot apart 
in the rows. 
Treat the same 
as corn. Use 10 
to 12 lbs. of 
seed per acre. 
S un flowers 
are often used 
to mix with 
corn when fill¬ 
ing a silo. It is 
claimed that 
the mixture 
makes better 
ensilage than 
pure corn. 
MAMMOTH 
RUSSIAN — 
The variety 
common 1 y 
used to produce seed and for filling silos. The heads 
are often one foot across and are filled with striped seed 
which makes most excellent feed for hens. Not Post¬ 
paid: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.50. 
Seed Corn 
10 pounds will plant an acre. 
The proper selection and care of seed corn is more important and exacting than the average grower realizes, as in 
appearance corn suitable for seed purposes is often deceiving, and its seed qualities can only be determined by actual 
tests for germination and vitality. Our seed corn is strictly Colorado Grown (except the ensilage varieties), is accli¬ 
mated and will ripen earlier than eastern grown seed. We shall be pleased to send you a sample and germination test 
of any variety you may be interested in. 
WHITE AUSTRALIAN FLINT —White Australian is a hard 
flint corn well adapted for cool climates and short sea¬ 
sons. It withstands drought well and matures in 80 
days. The ears are of medium size, tapering, grow 
about 12 Inches long. The kernels are white, smooth, 
somewhat shallow, rounded and very flinty. The stalks 
attain a height of from 5 to 6 feet, producing one to 
two long ears to the stalk, that set about two feet from 
the ground. 
SWADLEY —Swadley is an early dent corn maturing in 
90 days. It has great ability to withstand heat and 
drought and is a prime favorite in many sections of 
Colorado. It ranks equal to Australian Flint as a sure 
cropper under adverse conditions and is planted in pref¬ 
erence to Australian for whole grain feeding. The ears 
are large and set low on the stalk, average 7 to 9 
inches long and carry 12 to 16 rows of grain. The ker¬ 
nels are large, broad and thin, of a light yellow color 
merging into white on the cap. 
Minn. No. 13 Corn 
KING OF THE EARLIEST —(Extra early, 90 days.) The 
earliest, hardiest, most productive of the yellow corns. 
It is the most valuable early dent corn grown, having 
no equal for earliness, hardiness and productiveness. It 
seems to possess a natural faculty or growing right 
along through wet or dry seasons and of making good 
crops under conditions that ruin other sorts. The ears 
ordinarily run from 7 to 10 inches long, with 12 to 16 
rows of compact grains solidly set on a small cob. The 
stalks grow 7 to 9 feet high. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT —This is a variety of Yellow 
Dent Corn developed in Colorado and is especially well 
adapted for planting in the dryland districts and in the 
North, as it is very drought resisting and matures early. 
Fine for grain, fodder or ensilage. 
EARLY YELLOW FLINT (75 days)— This variety is par¬ 
ticularly adapted to sections where the Dent varieties 
will not mature. Fine for early feeding or for late 
planting. 
MINNESOTA No. 13 —Minnesota No. 13 is the most pop¬ 
ular Yellow Dent Corn in Colorado and other western 
states. It matures in 9 0 days. This makes it a very 
desirable corn for sections where early frosts are 
common. The ears set about four feet from the ground, 
average 7 to 10 inches long, 6 to 8 inches in circum¬ 
ference and carry 12 to 16 rows of kernels. The ker¬ 
nels are wedge shaped and of a bright, rich yellow 
color; smooth and packed closely from butt to tip on a 
small reddish cob. Throughout the West it is used 
extensively as a husking crop. The stalks grow six to 
eight feet and being thick, tall and leafy they make ex¬ 
cellent, nutritious fodder. Plant Minnesota 13 Corn for 
grain, fodder, and silage. 
MINNESOTA No. 13 (Registered Seed) —This season we 
can supply limited quantities of Colorado Grown Regis¬ 
tered Minnesota No. 13 Seed Corn and will be pleased 
to quote prices on request. 100-Ib. bags, F.O.B. Denver,

i 
RAINBOW FLINT— This is an early maturing corn and is 
very desirable for dry lands and short seasons. It is a 
flint, resembling White Australian in habit and size of 
kernels. The grains are variegated and highly colored. 
COLORADO No. 13— This is a selection from Minnesota 
No. 13, developed by the Colorado Pure Seed Growers 
Association. Recommended especially for earliness and 
high yielding qualities.
