THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED CO 
DENVER, COLO 
Oats 
Sow 2 Y 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 especially 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 superior 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 60 
day oat, being heavier, a better yielder and pro¬ 
ducing more straw. Our seed was grown at an 
altitude of over 6,000 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 more popular each year. It is 
similar to Swedish 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 popu¬ 
lar with growers in the mountains and short- 
season districts. 
PRICES ON ALL VARIETIES OF OATS. NOT POSTPAID! Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 40e; 10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.25. 
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 c’annot 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 sowing 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. 
PALL 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 
introduction 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 OP RYE. NOT POSTPAID: Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.25. 
Miscellaneous Farm Seeds 
Buckwheat 
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 or 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 common 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 Post¬ 
paid: Lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 25 lbs., $1.75. 
Flax Seed 
WILT-RESISTANT—Flax is the best and most profit¬ 
able crop for sod or new lands, growers frequently 
realizing more from flax on sod than from wheat 
on old ground. Sow early, as soon as possible 
after danger from 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. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
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. Sow from the 
first to the middle of August. If sown broadcast on corn 
ground after the last cultivating it makes good pasture 
after the com is removed. Not Postpaid: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
80c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.50. 
Vetch 
HAIRY, OR SAND VETCH—An excellent plant for a 
winter cover crop to prevent leaching; also for 
forage and fertilizing. If sown in August or Sep¬ 
tember 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 plow¬ 
ing under; also for dairy stock and poultry pas¬ 
ture. Sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre. Not Postpaid: 
Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.90; 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.
