GURNEY’S NORTHERN GROWN LAWN GRASS 
IS BETTER 
CANADIAN BLUE GRASS 
BENT GRASS 
More peoole are using Bent Grass for lawns 
each year. The seed costs more than other grass 
seed but the results are well worth while. Plant 
Bent Grass and your new lawn will be the show 
place of the neighborhood. 
• ASTORIA BENT 
Besides creeping on the surface of the soil 
Astoria Bent has jointed roots which creep under 
ground. It is the best bent grass for high, well- 
drained soils and is very resistant to drought. 
It is often found growing in almost pure sand. 
It makes a thick, close turf, with fine leaf blades. 
We recommend it highly. 14 lb., 45c; J lb., 80c; 
5 lbs., $3.75 Postpaid. Not Prepaid, 10 lbs., 
$7.20; 25 lbs., $17.50. 
CITY LAWN MIXTURE 
This mixture consists of Kentucky Blue Grass 
and White Dutch Clover mixed in the correct 
proportions to make a rich velvety lawn the 
first year. Use this mixture for lawns where you 
have a supply of water available. Plant as early 
in the spring as possible using 1 lb. of seed to 
each 200 square feet of surface. Water liberally. 
By the first of July, your lawn will be green and 
beautiful and far enough advanced to withstand 
the hot weather of July and August. Prices: 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.45 Postpaid; Not Prepaid, 
10 lbs., $2.45; 25 lbs., $5.40; 50 lbs., $9.95; 100 
lbs., $19.45. 
SHADY LAWN MIXTURE 
Certain fine grasses are used that show a par¬ 
ticular aptitude for maintaining their growth in 
the shade of trees. These grasses are generally 
shy seeders and consequently the seed is high 
priced, but the results obtained will fully warrant 
the cost. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50 Postpaid. 
Not Prepaid 10 lbs., $2.55; 25 lbs., $5.70; 
50 lbs., $10.50; 100 lbs., $20.55. 
This famous grass does well almost every¬ 
where if the soil is fairly rich, moist, and moder¬ 
ately well-drained. 
Kentucky Blue Grass will last for many years 
as the plants are fed from underground roots 
and rarely need reseeding. It withstands hard 
wear remarkably well, forming a firm, tough sod. 
Kentucky Blue Grass should be sown as early as 
possible to give it a good start before the weeds 
spring up. It is the best of all grasses for lawns, golf 
courses and parks. When sown alone, use 35 to 40 
pounds per acre. Farcy cleaned seed. Per lb., 30c; 
5 lbs., $1.35 Postpaid; Not Prepaid 10 lbs., 
$2.25; 25 lbs., $4.90; 50 lbs., $8.95; 100 lbs., 
$17.25. 
Very similar to Kentucky Blue but grows a 
little coarser. It can be grown on poor soil 
where Kentucky will not thrive. It grows about 
two feet high, makes exceptionally fine hay 
greatly relished by stock of all kinds. As a pas¬ 
ture for dairy cows, it is especially valuable. 
It is also a very popular lawn grass where Ken¬ 
tucky Blue will not thrive. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50 Postpaid. 
Not Prepaid 10 lbs., $2.55; 25 lbs., $5.70; 
50 lbs., $10.50; 100 lbs., $20.55. 
It is made up of the seed of several fine leaved 
grasses, selected and recommended by the ex¬ 
perts of the Agricultural Department at Wash¬ 
ington. We can conceive of no better authority 
on the subject than these painstaking investi¬ 
gators. It may be said here concerning all these 
special purpose grass mixtures that they are 
based mainly on the results of these field trials 
at the department and at various State Experi¬ 
mental Stations. The mixture offered here for 
lawn purposes has been tested thoroughly under 
the severe conditions of our climate. 1 lb., 30c; 
5 lbs., $1.35 Postpaid; Not Prepaid 10 lbs., 
$2.25; 25 lbs., $4.90; 50 lbs., $8.95; 100 lbs., 
$17.25. 
PLANT RAPE FOR FALL PASTURE 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
I want to impress it on you, that the Dwarf 
Essex Rape will grow and thrive, and be profit¬ 
able in many places on your farm. In the spring 
when you are sowing small grains, sow it at the 
rate of 4 pounds per acre with your grain. This 
will furnish valuable pasture after harvest. 
Plant it with fall rye at the rate of about three 
pounds to the acre in the months of April or 
May, and it will make you a good pasture with 
the rye in summer. Plant it by itself at the 
rate of 5 lbs. per acre and see the immense yield 
of forage it will produce. Sow it at the rate of 
3 lbs. per acre with your cultivation of corn. 
This is undoubtedly the most profitable place 
to sow rape seed. If you are hogging the corn 
down, the hogs will clean the rape as well as 
the corn. Dwarf Essex Rape is the only variety 
that is valuable. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 
$1.00; 25 lbs., $2.15; 50 lbs., $3.70; 100 lbs., 
$6.75; 500 lbs., $31.25.

DEWOLF'S EXTRA PROLIFIC 
This is another production of the late M. J. 
DeWolf. This corn matures well to the central 
part of South Dakota and can be grown in the 
same district as improved Minnesota No. 13, 
but will outyield it. 
This bright, yellow corn will outyield any other 
early corn and should be planted in the central 
half of South Dakota and southern Minnesota. 
We believe that if you will try this corn one 
year you will discard the corn you are now grow¬ 
ing and plant DeWolf’s Prolific exclusively. 1 lb., 
20c; 14 lbs., 95c; 28 lbs., $1.50; 1 bu., $2.60; 
5 bu., $12.75; 10 bu., $25.00. 
WIMPLE’S YELLOW DENT 
A famous Dakota variety of corn. It originated 
with Mr. Wimple, a corn specialist of South 
Dakota, and is now largely planted over the corn 
belt throughout the northern states. This 
variety, which has had a lot of careful work put 
on it, is a bright yellow corn, producing kernels 
of unusual depth. It gives good results anywhere 
south of central South Dakota, southern coun¬ 
ties in Minnesota and all points south. The ears 
grow well upon the stalk and the stalks are from 
7 to 9 feet high. Our seed is grown in South 
Dakota. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 80c; 28 lbs., 
$1.25; 1 bu., $2.50; 5 bu., $12.25; 10 bu., $24.00. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT 
We have grown and selected a Reid’s Yellow 
Dent that would be satisfactory to the planter 
in the southern tier of counties in South Dakota, 
northern Nebraska and northern Iowa. Reid’s 
Yellow Dent is the ideal corn where it can be 
safely grown. It is too late for any place north 
of the north line of Iowa and our strain of Reid’s 
PRIZE WINNING CORN 
The Wimple’s, Reid’s and DeWolf’s 
corn we are offering is all from prize 
winning strains. 
is the earliest grown. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 80c; 
28 lbs., $1.25; 1 bu., $2.50; 5 bu., $12.25; 
10 bu., $24.00. 
GEHU FLINT 
The earliest flint corn grown. Makes good 
yields of both corn and fodder. Fine for late 
planting or for hogging down. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 
$1.00; 28 lbs., $1.75; 1 bu., $2.95; 5 bu., $14.50. 
RED COB ENSILAGE CORN 
Among all the varieties of Ensilage corn, this 
one gives the greatest amount of green forage 
per acre, amounting on rich land and proper 
cultivation to as much as 10 tons. The fodder 
is sweet, tender and juicy, growing to a height 
of 8 to 12 feet. It is easier, and the first cost 
is less, to sow the ordinary field corn for ensilage 
purposes, but the thoughtful farmer will con¬ 
sider quantity and quality of the products as of 
first importance. 28 lbs., $1.25; 1 bu., $2.25; 5 
bu., $11.00; 10 bu., $21.50. 
SWEET FODDER CORN 
There is nothing better for summer and fall 
green feed or for curing for winter than Sweet 
Corn. Being sweet and palatable, cattle eat 
every part of the stalks and leaves. Always a 
great favorite with dairy farmers. Can be 
planted in drills or broadcast. Sow 1 to 1)4 
bushels broadcast. 10 lbs., $1.15; 25 lbs., $2.15; 
50 lbs.. $3.95; 100 lbs., $7.50. 
SAND OR WINTER VETCH 
Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. Thrives sur¬ 
prisingly on poor, light land, and withstands 
extremes of drought, heat and cold. It may be 
sown either in the spring or fall, usually with 
Rye. In the North, it remains all winter under 
the snow and it is invaluable for early pasturing 
or soiling. It is valuable as a fertilizer, being a 
great nitrogen gatherer. For hay, cut when com¬ 
mencing to pod. Fifty pounds seed per acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $1.80; 50 lbs., $7.70; 100 lbs., 
$14.75. 
HEMP 
Hemp has been advertised as an exterminator 
of Creeping Jenny. We do not know that it has 
any value for this purpose but are offering the 
seed at a fair price. Hemp grows from 7 to, 10 
feet tall and it takes 30 pounds to plant an acre. 
10 lbs., 90c; 25 lbs., $1.75; 50 lbs., $2.95; 
100 lbs., $5.50; 500 lbs., $26.25. 
PLANT MORE POP CORN 
GURNEY'S DELICIOUS POPCORN CAN’T BE 
BEAT FOR POPPING 
SOUTH AMERICAN MAM¬ 
MOTH POPCORN 
This new big yellow popcorn has taken the 
country by storm, and when it is better known, 
will be the main popcorn for popcorn stands and 
home use. The kernels pop out about three times 
the size of ordinary popcorn. l / 3 pt., 15c; 1 lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.30; 25 lbs., $2.85; 
50 lbs., $4.95; 100 lbs., $9.25. 
JAPANESE HULL-LESS 
POPCORN 
It is the smallest and best of all popcorn. The 
stalks grow four to five feet high and each stalk 
produces three to six well developed ears. The 
corn when popped is snowy white and the kernels 
are free from hard centers, as found in all other 
varieties. Popcorn dealers pay more for this corn 
than any other variety. % pt., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 
5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.30; 25 lbs., $2.85; 50 lbs.,

The Dwarf Broom Corn stands up better 
than the taller varieties, is practically free from 
crooked brush. The fiber is long and fine and 
commands always the highest market price. 1 
lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.40; 
50 lbs., $4.45; 100 lbs., $8.25.
