SEED OATS 
We make quite a specialty of these, having 
them grown especially on contract for us. 
They are large, plump, free from weed seeds 
or other foreign substance, and of high vital¬ 
ity. Sow at the rate of 2)4 to 3 bushels per 
acre alone or 1 Y'i bushels with peas during 
April for best results. Weighs 32 pounds 
per bushel. 
Storm King. Pedigreed Stock. This im¬ 
proved strain produces well-filled heads of 
plump, white grains, with a slight tendency 
toward side-growth. Straw very stiff, often 
measuring 5 feet high. A heavy producer, 
sometimes yielding as high as 85 bushels 
per acre. Qt. 20c. (by Parcel Post, 30c.). 
Swedish or Washington. The long, erect 
straw is noted for its ability to stand up 
in rough weather. Grains are very plump 
and nearly pure white. Qt. 20c. (by 
Parcel Post, 30c.). 
Welcome. A well-known and extensively 
grown variety with extra-strong, straight 
straw and large, plump grains. Qt. 15c. 
(by Parcel Post, 25c.). 
Treat your Seed Oats with Form-O- 
Fume or Ceresan to control oat smut.

Dwarf Essex Rape 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This can be pastured 8 weeks 
after sowing. It must be sown in succes¬ 
sion, as the stock eats it close to the ground 
and it will not stand pasturing any great 
length of time. Sow 6 pounds per acre 
broadcast, from April 1 to October 1. It 
produces enormous crops and is an ideal 
green manure. Weighs 50 pounds per 
bushel. Lb. 15c. (by Parcel Post, 25c.). 
Prices on Farm Seeds in larger 
quantities than those listed will be 
quoted on application. 
RYE (For Seeding) 
Spring. An excellent early green food, or 
for pasture. The grain is used for feeding 
and other purposes, while the straw is of 
very fine quality, making a larger yield 
than Winter Rye. Sow from May 1 to 
June 1, lp 2 bushels to the acre. Weighs 
56 pounds per bushel. Qt. 20c. (by Parcel 
Post, 30c.). 
Rosen Winter. Winter Rye will not mature 
if sown in spring. Qt. 15c. (by Parcel 
Post, 25c.). 
Vetches (Tares) 
SUGAR-CANE • SORGHUM 
Early Amber. Either green or in a cured 
state this makes ideal cattle-food. The 
seed can be threshed out of the stalks and 
used as poultry-feed. A tremendous pro¬ 
ducer, often growing 12 feet high. It 
stands hot, dry weather and can be cut 
several times in one season. Sow 25 pounds 
of seed to the acre in drills 3J^ feet apart; 
1 to 2 bushels broadcast. Weighs 50 
pounds per bushel. Qt. 25c. (by Parcel 
Post, 35c.). 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. This makes an excel¬ 
lent poultry-food, especially for winter use, 
on account of its heating and fattening 
qualities. Will yield sometimes as high as 
60 bushels per acre. Sow 10 quarts per 
acre, in drills 3 feet apart, dropping the 
seed about every 4 inches. Lb. 20c. (by 
Parcel Post, 30c.); 55c. per 3 lbs. (by 
Parcel Post, 65c.); 5 lbs. 85c. (by Parcel 
Post, $1.00); $1.60 per 10 lbs. (by Parcel 
Post, $1.80); 25 lbs. $3.75. 
SUDAN GRASS 
An annual, and must be sown each year. 
Resembles millet somewhat. Stock seems to 
relish it. Will yield from 2 to 4 tons per 
acre. Sow in drills, or broadcast, 16 to 24 
pounds per acre. Several cuttings can be 
made from a sowing in one season. Thrives 
well in a season of drought. Weighs 40 
pounds per bushel. Lb. 15c. (by Parcel 
Post, 25c.). 
TIMOTHY 
Our stock of this important hay-producing 
seed is especially fine, being thoroughly re¬ 
cleaned, and free from weeds. If sown alone 
it requires 25 pounds to seed an acre; if sown 
with wheat, 12 to 15 pounds are the usual 
quantities. Weighs 45 pounds per bushel. 
Lb. 25c. (by Parcel Post, 35c.). 
VETCHES • TARES 
Winter (Vicia villosa). Sometimes called 
Sand or Hairy Vetch. Our stock of this 
is the true type, which will absolutely live 
throughout the winter. Sow broadcast 
from August 1 to October 1 at the rate of 
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. Weighs 60 pounds per bushel. 
Lb. 30c. (by Parcel Post, 40c.). 
Spring (Vicia sativa). The seed of this is 
larger than Winter Vetch and of a brown¬ 
ish gray color. It is not hardy and must 
therefore be sown in the spring, during 
May or June, 1 to 2 bushels per acre if 
broadcast, and 1 bushel if in drills, with 
either spring wheat, spring rye or oats, for 
support. Has the same desirable features 
as the Winter Vetch. Weighs 60 pounds 
per bushel. Lb. 15c. (by Parcel Post, 25c.). 
SPRING WHEAT 
Marquis. A favorite sort in this locality 
and is used on account of its prolific, vigor¬ 
ous growth and early qualities. It often 
produces 50 bushels per acre. Sow in 
April or May, 1 Yi to 2 bushels per acre, 
broadcast or in drills. Weighs 60 pounds 
per bushel. Qt. 25c. (by Parcel Post, 40c.).
