106 FIELD SEEDS—(Continued) 
State Nursery and Seed Co. 
Spring Rye 
(Sow 50 lbs. per acre broadcast) 
Rye produces a crop that can be 
relied upon regardless of drought, 
wet, cold, or excessive heat condi¬ 
tions and many weed-infested farms 
have been cleared by growing this 
grain. As a fertilizer it is a won¬ 
der; it can be grown on thinner land 
than other cereals; as a feed for 
growing pigs, you cannot beat rye. 
If you have any thin clay points on 
your farm, there is the place to 
plant rye. It is much used as a for¬ 
age crop and grown together with 
vetches and oats at the rate of Vz 
bu. per acre and is also often used 
as a catch crop. 56 pounds in one 
bushel. Sow 1% bu. per acre. 
Prolific Spring Rye —This is a new 
Spring Rye which greatly out- 
yields the common sort. The sup¬ 
ply of a true strain of Prolific 
Rye is limited. We are offering a 
fancy lot of ergot free seed. 
Rosen Rye —A heavy yielding, large 
seeded, high quality variety. The 
most popular Fall Rye. 
Amber Rye— A well known popular 
variety for Montana. 
SEED BARLEY 
TREBI BARLEY —A bearded six-rowed hulled va¬ 
riety which has proven to be the highest yielder 
under irrigated conditions. At Bozeman this Bar¬ 
ley has consistently produced more feed grain per 
acre than any other variety or kind of crop 
grown. It is rapidly displacing all other Barley 
varieties in the irrigated sections of Montana and 
Idaho. It is a good performer under dry land con¬ 
ditions in the more favorable seasons. This Bar¬ 
ley is a pedigreed selection made by the Minne¬ 
sota station from stocks originating in Turkey. 
WISCONSIN (PEDIGREE NO. 38) —MALTING 
BARLEY —This is the best type Malting Barley. 
It is a smooth awned type. Does not lodge as 
readily as the oderbrucker types and outyields 
them. There is considerable preference for the 
smooth awned types of malting or brewing bar¬ 
leys. We have a fine lot of fancy Montana 
grown seed of Wisconsin Pedigree “38.” 
FAUST’S BLUE HULLESS AND BEARDLESS BAR¬ 
LEY—-Is the latest improved strain of the Blue 
Hulless varieties. Besides the added character¬ 
istic of being beardless it has proven itself to 
be far the highest yielding of all Hulless types. 
The feed value of this variety is the highest of 
all Barleys and 35 to 40 bushel yields are very 
common. 
Giant White Hulless 
• 
A big bog fattcner. Earlier than the bearded 
varieties, six rowed, and in threshing, the kernels 
shell out without the hulls and look like big wheat 
kernelsj when grown for bay, it should be cut be¬ 
fore it is ripe, while the straw is still green. It is 
a heavy yielder and can be thrown to the hogs in 
bundles and they will eat every kernel of it. Sow 
2% bu. per acre.

Field of Our Spring Rye 
Speltz 
SPRING SPELTZ OR EMMER is very similar to 
Barley in appearance and growth, and is espe¬ 
cially adapted to the semi-arid districts of the 
Northwest and can be relied upon to produce a 
fair crop even under the most adverse condi¬ 
tions. It produces heavy yields of grain, and 
straw which is equal in value to oat straw. Its 
extreme hardiness and drought resisting quali¬ 
ties, together with yielding qualities that sur¬ 
pass any other cereal, make it a grain of the 
utmost importance to the farmers in the North 
and Northwest. 
Our seed stock has been bred up from the most 
hardy, high yielding strains, and has been care¬ 
fully recleaned and graded and we believe that 
we are in a position to furnish you with the 
best that can be produced, and we know that it 
will prove to be the cheapest and best feed which 
you have ever grown upon your farm.
