SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian 
Are especially useful in the poultry run, as the large 
leaves furnish shade for young chicks, also, the seeds 
make a good addition to the poultry ration. They are 
very rich in oil and protein and are splendid to feed 
during the moult and winter months. They are also 
valuable for hogs. Prices given on Yellow price list. 
FIELD PEAS 
Are not only profitable as a dry shelled crop, but may 
also be used for hay, pasture, or soiling with excellent 
results. 
Peas are second only to Clover in their soil enriching 
properties and can be grown under almost any condition 
of soil or climate. 
Canada Yellow Field Peas 
The standard field pea of the Northwest, and needs no 
description. It is always in demand either as a dry pea 
for cooking, or for pigeons. Prices given on Special Field 
Seeil price list. 
Large White Marrowfat 
Vines grow 4 to 5 feet high bearing long, round pods 
with 5 to 7 large round peas. Yields abundantly. See 
Special price list for latest quotations. 
Inoculate pens and beans witli Nitragin before planting. 
See page 45 for prices. 
SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans are one of the most valuable crops one can 
raise. As a hay crop, Soy Beans are higher in protein 
content than clover and equal to alfalfa hay. Are ex¬ 
cellent for silage grown with corn. 
Dc not plant too early; about corn planting time or later. 
Inoculate seed with Nitragin before planting. Cover 
seed lightly. Sow 30 to 45 pounds per acre in drills 
or broadcast 60 to 90 pounds. Make rows about 30 inches 
apart to allow for cultivation. 
Manchu 
This popular variety is especially recommended for the 
Northwest for hay, dry beans, as well as planting with 
corn for silage. Beans are yellow of medium size and 
mature medium early. Yields of beans will average 
around 25 bushels to the acre. See special Yellow list 
for prices. 
Illini 
A newer variety of Soy Beans developed by the Illinois 
Exp. Sta. that is becoming as popular as Manchu. Ma¬ 
tures a little earlier than Manchu and also gives a better 
yield of both hay and beans. Beans are yellow and 
slightly smaller and rounder than Manchu. Prices given 
on Special Yellow Price List. 
FLAX 
Flax can be sown only about once in six or seven years 
on the same ground. It is a splendid crop to grow on 
new breaking, for it not only produces a good paying 
crop but it also helps to prepare the soil for future 
crops, leaving ground in a nice mellow condition. Be¬ 
fore sowing, it is especially important to have the ground 
well firmed. Sow 25 to 30 pounds to the acre, as early 
as possible and yet avoid the last killing spring frost. 
Bison Flax 
One of the new wilt-resistant varieties which has given 
very good results. Was developed at the Minnesota Ex¬ 
perimental Station. Prices given on Yellow list. 
Common Flax 
Is used to a great extent on entirely new soil with very 
good results. We take special care of securing seed that 
is entirely free from foul seeds. See Field Seed list for 
prices. 
RYE 
Spring Rye 
Makes an excellent crop for sowing where winter grain 
has been killed off or for soiling. It can also be grown 
for a grain crop by being seeded early in the spring and 
harvested in the same season, like wheat or oats. Does 
not grow quite so large a straw as winter rye, but 
usually yields well. Sow about 1% bushels to the acre. 
Latest prices are given on Special Field Seed list. 
Rosen Rye 
Has proven itself to be so far superior to any other 
winter rye, that we would consider it a waste of space 
to list any other variety. It is a heavy yielder with a 
nice large kernel. The straw is big and strong and will 
stand the weather better than any other variety. Refer 
to Yellow list for prices. 
MILLET 
Millet is grown almost exclusively in these northern 
states for hay only, and we find that southern grown 
millet seed will produce a much heavier crop of finer 
hay than that grown from northern seed. We therefore 
offer only true southern grown seed in our millets. 
German Millet 
This variety is the most in demand of all millets. It 
should be cut when in full bloom, at which time it is 
most tender and sweet. Grows to a height of four to 
five feet. Sow about 35 pounds to the acre. See Special 
list for prices. 
Hungarian Millet 
Is favored by some on account of its rapid growth, ma¬ 
turing about a week or ten days earlier than German 
Millet. Makes excellent hay, growing from two to four 
feet high. Prices listed on Field Seed price list. 
Japanese Millet 
This is entirely distinct from any other millet. It grows 
from five to nine feet in height, and produces enormous 
crops of fine hay. If sown broadcast, sow fifteen to 
twenty pounds to the acre; in drills at the rate of ten 
pounds per acre. It does best on low, moist ground. 
Refer to Yellow list for prices. 
Siberian Millet 
Earlier than either German Millet or Hungarian. Very 
valuable for the North and yields remarkably. It is 
extremely hardy, and drought resistant. Excellent for 
hay and is not subject to rust. For prices see Special 
price list. 
FIELD CORN 
Seed Corn is without a doubt the most particular seed 
crop to be handled of any farm seeds. And it is very 
important that it receive the care and attention that it 
should have. Should a man take a chance on planting 
inferior seed corn and be obliged to replant a second 
time, his labor would be worth more than the original 
cost of reliable seed corn. 
Gould's Reliable Yellow Dent 
Is considered to be the best and the safest corn to insure 
a good well-matured crop. Gould’s reliable Yellow Dent 
is an improved strain of Minnesota No. 13, having been 
selected for several years before it was offered for sale, 
with the result that it is larger and earlier than the 
Minnesota No. 13. Prices are given on Special list. 
Minnesota No. 13 
Is so well known that it is unnecessary to devote any 
space to its description. It is the standard Yellow Dent for 
Minnesota, produces a nice uniform ear of fairly good 
size and maturing about Sept. 1st. See Special Field 
Seed list for prices. 
Yellow Flint 
It’s a very early 8-rowed Yellow Flint. The stalks grow 
about 7 ft. high with ears about 11 inches long. This 
corn is adapted to the Northwest, and is a very heavy 
yielder. Prices are given on Special Yellow price list. 
Gould’s Reliable Red Cob Fodder 
Is a tall growing southern corn that will produce an 
abundance of feed per acre. The kernel is white and 
grows on a red cob, thus deriving its name. Prices given 
on Special Field Seed price list. 
N. K. & Co.’s Elephant Fodder 
Of the yellow Dent type, but grows taller and more leafy 
than the average Yellow Dent corn, therefore producing 
a very heavy yield. See Yellow price list for prices. 
Dwarf Essex RAPE 
Rape is one of the surest crops for late pasturing. Is 
relished by hogs, sheep and cattle. It may be sown as 
late as July 1st, and produce a very fine fall pasture. 
Prices given on Special Field Seed price list. 
SPELTZ 
While not quite equal to oats, it makes a fair horse feed. 
It yields more than wheat or barley and even the straw 
if cut slightly green has a good amount of feeding value. 
Prices are given on Special Field Seed price list. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Buckwheat can be sown as late as July and still pro¬ 
duce a crop, or it may also be plowed under for soiling. 
Sow % to 1 bushel per acre, as late as possible, and 
still have crop well developed before severe frosts occur. 
Light, well-drained soils are best for this crop. 
Japanese 
Will produce a larger growth and will stand dry weather 
better than any other variety. The kernel is large, dark 
brown and matures very early. Refer to Field Seed price 
list for prices.
