DOMESTIC RYE GRASS. A quick growing 
grass, useful where an immediate effect is 
wanted. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. One of the best 
grasses for pastures and lawns. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A valuable grass for pas¬ 
ture and also for hay.

and moist.

Early English Dwarf Essex Rape 
Superior to any other variety offered. A forage 
plant of great merit, easily grown in any locality, 
and one of the most satisfactory quick growing 
crops, especially for sheep. As a fattening food 
for sheep, cattle, calves or pigs, it is without a 
rival in point of cheapness, is hardy, withstands 
drought, and will produce a crop in any soil. The 
seed may be sown from May to July, 10 to 12 
pounds to an acre. Per lb., 15c; per 100 lbs., $11.00. 
Rye 
ROSEN RYE (Winter). Produces a strong, vigor¬ 
ous straw and stools to remarkable degree. The 
grain is large, plump, heavy and of a beautiful 
color, commanding a premium on the market 
over other grains. Owing to its vigorous stool- 
ing property less seed is required, the practice 
being about one and one-half bushels to an acre. 
RYE (Spring). For a catch crop this is best for 
sowing in the Spring, as a crop may be obtained 
by later sowing than any other grain, although 
it does not yield as heavy as the winter rye. 
Millets 
Hungarian. Adapted to various conditions of 
soil and moisture and can be sown as late as 
July 4. 1 bu. per acre. 
Japanese Millet. Produces an enormous quan¬ 
tity of fodder. 25 lbs. to acre. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS WHEAT (Spring). It is a beardless, 
having smooth yellow chaff, but its most valu¬ 
able feature lies in its earliness. Threshing re¬ 
ports from the northwest indicate yields of 
40 to 50 bushels per acre; weight, 64 to 66 lbs. 
per measured bushel, and they report it to be of 
the highest milling quality. 
Ceresan 
For Seed Treatment of 
Small Grains 
For extra profit treat oats, 
barley and wheat, with New 
Improved Ceresan. Unusually 
effective in controlling smut. 
Applied by dusting on seed, 
only 2 ounces for wheat or 
rye, 3 ounces for barley and 
oats. Often increases yield one 
to five bushels per acre. 
Price: 1 lb., 70c; 5 lbs., $3.00. 
Soja Beans 
Sow one-half bushel to the acre. 
Produce an enormous crop of both vines and 
pods. Valuable as a forage crop and fertilizing 
the soil, also pasturing, feeding as green fodder 
and for silo purposes. 
It is a heavy yielder, with stiff straw, thin hull, 
and stands dry weather well. 
Vetch or Tares 
Vetches or Tares 
Spring Vetch. Highly valuable for sowing or 
for green manuring. Sometimes grown with oats, 
for mowing and feeding to stock. Use 120 to 180 
pounds to the acre broadcast, or 60 to 120 lbs. in 
drills. 
Winter Vetch. Also called Sand Vetch or Hairy 
Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing, with rye, 
which serves as a support. It is perfectly hardy 
in all parts of the country, can be harvested or 
plowed under and the ground used for the usual 
spring crop. Sow 60 lbs. of seed per acre, together 
with one-half bushel of rye.
