STANDARD VARIETIES USEFUL IN THE SOUTH 
AS PRICES ON GRAINS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WRITE FOR PRICES BEFORE ORDERING 
BARLEY 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. For an acre, two bushels. 
Beardless The great value of Barley for winter pas- 
iJcal t urage has not been generally recognized 
as yet, but many Southern dairymen have adopted it as 
one of their main crops for this purpose, using it also for 
hay. If the ground is reasonably strong, it may be firmly 
established before winter, and will bear almost continuous 
grazing until late spring, the beneficial effect upon milch 
cows in particular being most noticeable. If intended to 
be cured for hay, the head should not be 
allowed to form. Sowings are made both 
in summer and fall, and sometimes it is 
broadcasted when corn or cotton crops are 
“laid by.” Price per bushel on application. 
Virginia Gray, or Winter Turf Oats. 
A general favorite in the South for fall planting. Sown in 
September or October, they will be well set before cold 
weather, and may be grazed freely throughout the winter. 
Price per bushel on application. 
RYE 
BUCKWHEAT 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. For 
an acre, one bushel. 
Buckwheat thrives where few other 
plants will. In excessively hot weather 
buckwheat is liable to blight, and the seeds 
should not be sown in the latitude of 
Norfolk before the middle of July. It may 
be sown either in drills or broadcast. 
Japanese. A distinct variety, earlier 
1 _ and more productive than 
the Silver Hull. The plant is large and 
vigorous, and the flour made from it is of 
the best quality. Price per bushel on 
application. 
OATS 
Thirty-two pounds to the bushel. For 
an acre, two bushels. 
Burt, or Ninety-Day, the b belt 
spring oat for general use in the South, 
and now very largely grown in Virginia 
and the Carolinas for both hay and grain. 
Planted in February, March and April, 
they can usually be relied upon to mature 
in time to avoid all injury from heat, and 
the grain is free from rust. Price per 
bushel on application. 
New Improved 
CERESAN 
A New Low Cost Grain 
Disinfectant 
/^Y)STS only 2 to 3 cents per

controlling bunt or stinking smut 
of wheat, covered smut and stripe 
of barley, and oat smuts. Fre¬ 
quently improves the stand and 
yield of grain 1 to 5 bushels per 
acre. Easily and quickly applied 
by 20 revolutions of seed treater 
or 3 turnings with a shovel. Seed 
should be treated 24 hours before 
planting. Does not reduce drilling 
rate nor damage drill. One pound 
treats 32 bushels of wheat, oats, or 
barley.

For winter pasturage few crops compare 
with Winter Rye, its adaptability to almost 
all soils and situations being enough to 
make it a universal favorite. Inexpensive, 
very productive and of remarkable nutri¬ 
tive value, it can be used to advantage on 
every farm where stock is kept, and we 
strongly recommend that all unused land 
be covered with rye during the winter as 
a protection. It also ranks among the best 
green manures, and is very largely used 
for that purpose. 
AbrUZZi 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. Price 
per bushel on application. 
RoSGn A splendid variety that pro- 
- duces a strong, vigorous straw, 
and stools to a remarkable degree. It is 
destined to take first place as a leading 
variety of Winter Rye. Price per bushel 
on application. 
WHEAT 
Sixty pounds to the bushel. For an acre, 
one and one-half bushels. 
FlllffTiam A splendid variety of the rust proof type. It 
x ul °‘ a is earlier than either the Appier or Bancroft 
and a heavier yielder. One of the best varieties for spring 
planting. Price per bushel on application.

This is a Southern-grown type of the Red Rust 
_ Proof Oat, and is unquestionably one of the most 
valuable the Southern farmer can grow, especially if a crop 
of grain is desired. Appier cannot be considered an early 
sort, and for that reason should be sown in the fall. Price
