SPRING RYE — A More Profitable Crop Than Oats 
SPRING RYE, SHOWING HEIGHT 
AND PRODUCTIVENESS OF STRAW. 
Distinct from the Winter rye; grain of finer quality and more pro¬ 
ductive; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being 
largely sown in the Middle States in place of oats, on account of the pro¬ 
duction of nearly four times the straw, and also as a “catch” crop where 
Winter grain has failed. The straw is equally as valuable as that of the 
hall or Winter rye, standing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 
bushels of grain per acre. As it does not stool like Winter rye, not less 
than two bushels to the acre should be sown. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 
75c., postpaid; peck, 50c.; bush., Si.50; 5 bush, and oyer, S1.40 per bush. 
SPRING WHEAT FROM THE NORTH 
Saskatchewan Fife. This wheat is pronounced by the great milling 
kings of the Northwest the best. Fifty bushels to the acre is not an un¬ 
common yield. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid; by express 
or freight, peck, 65c.; bush., $2.25; 5 bush, and over, S2.00 per bush. 
SPELTZ, OR EMMER (Triticum Spelta ) A New Grain 
This new Russian grain is intermediate between wheat and barley, 
and is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. It is adapted for milling, as 
*ell as for feeding, making a grade of flour similar to rye. The straw 
resembles wheat straw. It grows large crops — 40 to 80 bushels per acre 
—on poor lands, stony ground and open prairies, and will give double the 
crop of oats or barley. Pkt., 5c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid; by 
freight or express, qt., 15c.; peck, 50c.; bush., $1.75. 
SEED BARLEY FROM THE NORTH

ductive. Qt., 15c.; peck, 50c.; bush., $1.50. 
White Ilullless Barley. Heavy kernels, more like wheat; early 
and productive. Pkt., ioc.; lb., 25c., postpaid; by express or freight, 
peck, 70c.; bush., §2.25; bag, 2 bush., $4.25. 
New Manshury. Earliest and most productive. Qt., 15c.; peck, 
50c.; bush., $1.60; bag, 2 bush., $3.00. 
Six-Rowed Barley. Most popular in the North. Qt., 15c.; peck, 
50c.; bush., 48 lbs., $1.50. Bags included. 
BUCKWHEAT FOR SEED 
New Japanese. The kernels are nearly twice the size’of "any other, 
of a rich dark brown color, and manufacture a superior flour. It has 
rapidly displaced all others, and is now more largely planted than any 
other, being about two weeks earlier. Makes a fine poultry food. Pkt , 
ioc.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 65c., postpaid; qt., 15c.; peck, 40c.; bush., fi.25; 
5 bush, and over, §1.20 per bush., sacks included. 
THE BEST OF THE MILLETS 
German Millet (Southern Grown) 
Southern grown German or Golden Millet seed 
is far superior, both in quality and yield, to Western 
or Northern grown seed. When properly grown 
and handled, it makes an enormous yield of nutri¬ 
tious feed, succeeding in almost any soil. Sow in 
May or June, one bushel to the acre. Price varies 
with the market. Qt., ioc.; bush., 50 lbs., S2.00. 
Hungarian Millet 
Yields two or three tons of hay per acre. Sow 
1 'i bushels to the acre in May or June. Price 
varies. Qt., ioc.; bush., 48 lbs., about fl.75. 
Pearl Millet, or Pencillaria 
Valuable for green forage. Drill in 2 feet rows, 
10 lbs. to the acre. By mail, pkt., ioc.; lb., 30c.; 
by freight, 10 lbs., Si. 10; bush, of 50 lbs., S4.50. 
Japanese Barnyard Millet 
Yields enormously of hay and fodder, growing 
6 to 8 feet in height and yielding 12 to 20 tons per 
acre. Cattle and horses eat it greedily. Sow in 
Mav or June broadcast, 10 to 12 lbs. per acre, or in 
drills, 8 lbs. per acre, Prices, by mail, postpaid, 
perl lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c.; by express or freight, lb.,

Cultivated the same as common Indian corn. 
Making a fine crop of forage. By mail, pkt., ioc.; 
lb., 25c.; by freight, peck, 50c.; bush., $1.60.
