Winter Wheat 
While we do not expect you 
to buy winter wheat at this 
time of the year, you may be 
interested in getting some 
good wheat this fall. As we 
do not issue a fall catalogue, 
please remember we grow 
quite a lot of very fine Certi¬ 
fied wheat. We think we have 
the three best varieties for 
Central Ill. All our own grow¬ 
ing. 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 2, a 
picture of which you see above. 
This is our best wheat. Seed 
secured from the University of 
Wisconsin. 
One of the highest yielding varieties, grows to a 
good height, very stiff, hard straw which stands up 
well, and resists chinch bugs well. A beared wheat 
which often fills four to a row. Medium early, 
stools exceptionally well. Gives best results when 
sown 100 lbs. per acre. On the field you see above 
we sowed from 60 to 150 lbs. per acre, but found 
best results were secured where we seeded 100 lbs. 
to an acre. Often grades No. 1 Northern dark hard. 
Ill. Progeny No. 2. A variety produced by the 
Univ. of Ill. One of the best, but which in some 
strains shows some Mosaic or take all. We have 
never had any trouble with this disease in our 
strain, although grown on land which is suscep¬ 
tible to this disease. Some fields of this variety 
within five miles were badly infected and made a 
small yield, where our strain made 35 bu. per acre. 
Cheyenne. A new variety, seed obtained from the 
Univ. of Ill. A high yielder and a good combine 
wheat. Stands longer without shattering than any 
variety we know of. A very hardy variety, stands 
up well. 
We are located at the corner of Mason, Logan 
and Tazewell Co., owning land in all three, one of 
the best sections for producing good seed wheat. 
Do not forget us this fall when you need seed 
wheat. 
PREMIER SWEDISH PEAT MOSS 
Years ago we imported large shipments of German peat moss, but 
for the past several seasons, we have imported Swedish moss which we 
find to be much better. Swedish peat moss absorbs 13 y 2 times its 
weight, German 10 V 2 . Less woody material, ash content, Swedish, 1.03, 
German, 1.68, 22 to 23 bu. Price per bale, $2.75; 14 bale, $1.75. 
Horticultural peat moss, one of the best humus fertilizers for lawn, 
shrubs and flowers, bale, $2.85. Small bale, about % of a bale, $1.85. 
SEED POTATOES 
We are headquarters for good Northern Grown Seed Potatoes. Most of our potatoes coming from 
Northern North Dakota, about 40 miles from the Canadian line. All black dirt potatoes. Do you know 
seed potatoes from black dirt soil will often produce twice as many potatoes as seed from sand land. 
Possibly, in the past, you have planted good looking potatoes which failed to produce. Black dirt pota¬ 
toes usually cost more, but are worth more. 
EARLY OHIO. Red River Ohio potatoes are the best 
all around variety you can grow. No doubt there are 
more Red River Ohio potatoes grown than all others 
added together. This cut shows a typical sample with 
blunt ends, oblong in shape, with medium eyes, rather 
dark smooth skin. Price, $3.50 per bag of 100 lbs. 
Certified, $4.00. 
IRISH COBBLERS. Grown in the Red River Valley. 
First grown in the east by New Jersey and New York 
truckers for fancy hotel trade that required white 
potatoes. It is almost a pure white potato, round with 
rough sides, eyes deeper than the Ohio. The Cobbler 
is one of the highest yielding potatoes and for a 
medium late potato it cannot be excelled, always cook¬ 
ing up dry and mealy. Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.50. 
EARLY TRIUMPHS. The earliest kind of a po- Cert,,,ed ’ $ 3 ' 7 °* 
tato, sometimes called Six Weeks potato, reddish 
in color, almost round with a smooth skin. Not a 
main crop potato, but a few should always be 
planted for early use. Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.75. 
RURAL NEW YORKER. A good main crop po¬ 
tato, oblong in shape with two rather flat sides, 
smooth white skin, eyes very inconspicuous, a very 
high yielding variety. A potato which is adapted 
to most all soils. It is easily grown, a good keeper 
and all in all is one of the best you can grow. 
Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.65. 
“The increase in yield from Improved Semesan Bel was 
about 20%. I also treated some of my seed with hot formal¬ 
dehyde and I am convinced that Improved Semesan Bel is 
much better,” writes one of our growers. 
Semesan Bel for Potatoes 
Semesan Bel by controlling diseases which sap 
the vitality of seed potatoes, gives the seeds a 
chance to germinate quickly, producing sprouts of 
healthy vigor from which grow increased yields of 
clean healthy plants and tubers. 
Apply to whole or cut seed potatoes either as a 
dry powder or dip. 
Four ounces treats 15 bushels of potatoes. 
Price, 50c; 1 lb. treats 60 bushels, cost $1.65.
