gained rapidly in popularity. It has wonderful 
stooling properties, a single grain having been 
known to produce as high as fourteen stalks.

acre having been recorded. A very hardy va¬ 
riety, straw very thick-walled, of good length, 
and bears up its heavy load of grain well.

being of a dark color and of hard texture.

beautiful white chaff and without beards. It 
is one of the earliest to ripen and we recom¬ 
mend it as an all-round good variety. Sow

lutely live throughout the winter. Sow broad¬ 
cast from August 1 to October 1, the earlier the 
better, 1 bushel per acre, to which we suggest 
adding a bushel of winter rye or wheat. In the 
spring it can be plowed under as green manure, 
or, when in flower, cut for hay. All stock relish 
it keenly. Seed should be inoculated with 
Stimugerm before planting. Weight, 60 lbs. per

ity. Weight, 45 lbs. per bus. 15c. per Ib. (by
