HIGH QUALITY SEEDS 
Oats 
Sow 2|^ bushels to the acre 
BLISS SIDES—This is a very early, hardy, prolific 
oat, the grain resembling the Swedish Select in 
appearance, but is a side variety and is very popu¬ 
lar with growers in the mountains and short- 
season districts. 
BRUNKEm—Brunker is a very early variety of Red 
Oats, adapted to dry land conditions. Under fa¬ 
vorable conditions, Brunker Oats produces plump 
kernels of good bushel weight. 
COLORADO No. 37—This is a new oat, which has 
been developed in Colorado. The parent stock was 
selected from a field of Swedish type oats, but it 
has been bred up for a number of years until It 
is a distinct and superior variety. The hull is 
thicker than Victory, but it yields well, and the 
straw is stiff. Well adapted to irrigated and cool, 
dry upland conditions. 
KJQiEiRSON —Kherson is an early white oat espe¬ 
cially adapted for planting in high altitudes. 
SWE3DISH SELEJCT —This oat is today the most 
largely grown of all varieties in the northern 
states. The oat is pure white in color; the hull is 
thin, and the kernel large and plump; straw is 
stiff and strong enough not to lodge. A remarkable 
root development makes the Swedish Select oat a 
good drought-resister, and especially suited to 
high land. It is the earliest of the heavy yielding 
sorts. 
VICTORY—This oat originated a number of years 
ago in Sweden, and since its introduction in this 
country has become more popular each year. It is 
similar to Swedish Select in season. Grain of 
medium size, short, plump, white, thin hull, nearly 
beardless. A heavy yielder. The straw is very 
stiff and firm. 
Rye 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 30 to 40 pounds. In ordering spring or fall rye, please 
note that we supply these spring or fall as they are supplied 
to us, but we cannot guarantee them to be such, as it is im¬ 
possible to determine the variety from the appearance of 
the seed. 
SPRING RYE—Spring rye makes an excellent crop 
where winter grain has been killed or blown out, 
or for sowing where a fall crop has not been 
planted. It is sown largely for early pasture and 
is often cut for hay. Sow seed same time as other 
spring grain. It does not grow quite as large 
straw as winter rye, but usually yields as well, and 
the grain is of fine quality. 
FALL OR WINTER RYE—This is the hardiest of any of 
the fall grains, and can be grown on a greater variety 
of soils. It will thrive in dry seasons and on light, sandy 
soils. It is grown for grain, for hay, for pasture and 
for plowing under for soiling purposes. There is no 
grain crop that produces as much and as good pasture 
as fall rye. If sown in August, makes a fine fall and 
winter pasture. Fall rye may also be sown in the spring, 
when It makes splendid summer pasture, as it will not 
go to seed as does the spring rye. 
ROSEN OR PETKUS RYE—A winter rye of recent intro¬ 
duction and is becoming very ppoular among growers of 
winter rye. It is said to 3 Meld more grain, stools more, 
and is hardier than the older types of winter rye. 
Miscellaneous Farm Seeds 
Buckwheat 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make profitable crop* 
on rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is 
also largely used as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in 
June or July, using 50 pounds of seed to the acre. 
JAPANESE!—This is the largest buckwheat. The 
plant makes a more vigorous and larger growth 
than the common kind and yields more. 
SILVEJR HULL—The kernels are gray and are much 
smaller than the Japanese variety. They are very 
plump and heavy and make excellent flour. 
Flax Seed 
WILT-RESISTANT—Flax is the best and most prof¬ 
itable crop for sod or new lands, growers frequent¬ 
ly realizing more from flax on sod than from wheat 
on old ground. Sow early, as soon as possible 
after danger from frost has passed. To raise seed, 
sow one-half bushel per acre; for fibre, one bushel. 
BISON FLAX—Success in flax production depends to 
a large extent upon the wilt resistance of the 
variety planted. Bison is a wilt-resistant, large 
seeded, heavy yielding strain. 
Rape 
An Excellent Forage Crop for Sheep and Hogs 
DWARF ESSEX—Rape belongs to the cabbage fam¬ 
ily. It produces a mass of broad, smooth leaves 
which are greatly relished by sheep and hogs. It 
can be pastured off and when stock is removed, if 
not eaten too close, it will grow up again and give 
a second crop. It does best on rather moist land, 
but will do well in any good soil. The seed is 
usually sown broadcast, using about 5 pounds per 
acre. Sow from the first to the middle of August. 
If sown broadcast on corn ground after the last 
cultivation it makes good pasture after the corn is 
removed. 
Vetch 
HAIRY, OR SAND VETCH—An excellent plant for a 
winter cover crop to prevent leaching; also for 
forage and fertilizing. If sown in August or Sep¬ 
tember it will make a good crop of forage the 
following spring. It is quite hardy and very seldom 
winter kills unless planted on wet, heavy soil. It 
is being used extensively in this vicinity for plow¬ 
ing under; also for dairy stock and poultry pas¬ 
ture.., Sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre. 
SPRING VETCHES OR TARES—Similar in growth 
to Sand Vetch, but for spring planting only.
