Mountain Crowing Breeds Early Maturity and Strong Vitality 
Heavy Mountain Seed Oats 
Plump Mountain Grown Seed filled with 
vitality. While the Government standard 
for Oats is 32 pounds to the bushel, our 
Mountain Grown Seed frequently weighs 
45 pounds to the measured bushel. Oats 
make a heavy yielding crop for high alti¬ 
tudes. 
Colorado No. 37 Oats. Perhaps the best 
known variety in this section of the 
country. Early maturing, heavy yield¬ 
ing, thin hulled, and extremely heavy 
weight. The seed we are offering was 
produced at about 6,500 feet altitude. 
There is nothing that pays as good re¬ 
turns as high altitude mountain oats 
planted in lower altitudes, this has been 
proven year after year in the Grand Val¬ 
ley. 
Careful observation has proved that 
high altitude oats planted in the lower 
altitudes produce the same number of 
bushels of bulk, and the oats weigh from 
5 to 7 pounds heavier than the same vari¬ 
ety of oats replanted from seed grown in the lower 
altitudes for two or three years. This should be con¬ 
vincing evidence that it pays to use high altitude 
oats to insure a profitable crop. See Colored Price 
Sheet for Current Prices. 
Victory Oats. Short heads, densely branched, bear¬ 
ing heavy yield of large, plump berries. Originated 
by Swedish Plant Breeding Society. See Colored 
Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Abundance Oats. A very large oat and one of the 
best yielders on good soils. A standard variety, 
sometimes known as Newmarket. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Swedish Select Oats. Drought resistant, a good 
variety, for light soils because of its heavy root 
development.

Wheat 
Marquis Wheat. In line with the work being carried 
on by the Colorado Agricultural College, we im¬ 
ported some second generation Registered Marquis 
Spring Wheat, grown in Canada, and registered by 
the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association. This 
wheat has now been grown here for several years, ' 
and while the yield has been greatly increased, it 
still retains the wonderful milling qualities that 
make this the premium milling wheat of the con¬ 
tinent. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Dicklow Wheat. A new soft wheat yielding over 60 
bushels to the acre. Not a milling wheat but the 
finest feed wheat. Outyields all other varieties. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Barley 
One of the earliest grain crops. Barley can be 
sown late with good results. It makes as good hog 
feed as corn. Ground Barley is an excellent dairy 
feed. Our Seed Barley is all high altitude grown, 
plump, -well filled grains. 
Early Bart Wheat. The new white wheat. Ex¬ 
tremely large berried spring wheat, excellent mill¬ 
ing qualities, heavy yield. This seed was produced 
on dry land at an altitude of 7,200 feet. Sown the 
first of June; harvested in September. All high- 
altitude and northern farmers should try this new 
bearded spring wheat. See Colored Price Sheet for 
Current Prices. 
Colsess Barley. A beardless variety developed by the 
Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station. Gives a 
heavy yield on a good strong straw. Average yield 
74.7 bushels per acre. See Colored Price Sheet for 
Current Prices. 
Plant Winter 
Rye in Spring 
Pasture 
for 
Improved White Hulless or Bald Barley. It is hulless, 
beardless, very early; it weighs over 60 lbs. to 
measured bushel; it yields well on poor land; it 
yields enormously on good land. It makes better 
pork than corn; the straw makes a good hay; it is 
of inestimable value to-stock feeders. See Colored 
Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Success Beardless Barley. Hardy, six-rowed and 
beardless; fine for stock feed. See Colored Price 
Sheet for Current Prices. 
Trebi Barley. The heaviest yielding Bearded Barley 
that has ever been introduced. Good stiff straw; 
big, plump grains; an exceptional yielder; replac¬ 
ing all other bearded varieties. See Colored Price 
Sheet for Current Prices. 
Field Beans 
The best paying crop of any in many mountain 
sections. The average yield under irrigation is 1800 
pounds per acre, some crops have yielded over 3000 
pounds per acre. There has been a good market price 
on this crop for a number of years, but even at a low 
price it will bring big returns per acre. We can sell 
carlot crops for you. 
Mexican Pinto. The standard variety in Colorado 
and New Mexico. Easiest raised, heaviest yielder 
and seldom any dockage for discolored Beans. 
Hardy, and the only variety for dry lands. Our true 
type seed will give a heavy yield. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Great Northern or Large White Navy. Matures a 
crop in 80 days; earlier than Pintos; usually a 
better price, but not quite as heavy yield. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Winter Rye, besides its use as a grain crop, is often 
seeded in the Spring, either alone or with winter 
vetch, as a pasture crop. When sown in the Spring 
and kept pastured, Winter Rye will last for three or 
four years with one sowing. Our Seed Rye is all 
Mountain Grown, assuring the strong vitality neces¬ 
sary on this crop. 
Rosen or Winter Rye. The well filled heads and high 
yield of grain are the main features of this New 
Winter Rye. Rosen Rye was originated by the 
Michigan Experiment Station. It is a good yielder 
of grain and makes excellent pasture. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Spring Rye. Not as large straw as Winter Rye but ) 
yields a good grain crop of fine quality. Also used 
for early pasture or hay. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Field Peas 
San Luis Valley Field Peas can be grown in any 
altitude up to 9,000 feet with success. This is the 
Pea that made the San Luis Valley, Colorado, famous. 
Similar to, if not identical -with, what are known as 
Canadian Field Peas. They make exceptionally fine 
feed for lambs and hogs and the straw is relished by 
all stock. For a hay crop peas are usually sown with 
oats, and the crop cut before fully matured. If 
threshed the dry peas should be ground for cattle, 
but are usually fed whole to sheep and sows. A field 
pea crop is a wonderful soil builder, putting nitrogen 
into the soil for following crops. Our field pea seed 
is all high altitude grown.
