FIELD SEEDS 
MILLETS VETCH 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec¬ 
tions. 
German or Golden (Panicum Germanicum). Will grow on any 
good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 40 
to 60 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for stock 
and poultry. Also a good green fodder plant. 
Hog or Broomcom. The seed is large for a Millet and is a rich 
food. The name “hog millet” is used to emphasize the use for 
which it is intended. It is a valuable feed for hogs as well as 
for birds and poultry. 
Common Vetch. A vine resembling peas and valuable for 
forage and green manure. As a hay crop it is generally sown 
with oats or wheat to afford support for the vines. Usually 
sown in the fall for cover crops and turned under in the spring. 
Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa). Thrives on poor, arid, sandy soils, 
and makes a better growth during the cold season than the 
others. 
Hungarian. Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of soils. Very resistant to 
aphid attacks. 
OATS 
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. 
Swedish Select. 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. 
Gray Winter Oats. Used as fall or winter. May be sown in 
the spring for hay in coast sections. 
White Side or Tree Oats, is a white side oat adapted to irri¬ 
gated land. This variety is noted for its abundant yield or 
forage. 
FIELD PEAS 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas will out- 
yield vetches 2 to 1. The vines and pods are almost as large 
and heavy as garden peas. The vines, like all legumes, are 
relished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Will not winter-kill. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas may be planted 
in cold weather and furnish a most valuable cover crop. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas¬ 
turage for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutri¬ 
tious pasturage within six or eight weeks from the time of 
sowing. It also makes splendid green feed for poultry. Plant 
10 lbs. per acre. 
RYE 
Spring Rye is an excellent soiler and can be produced on poor, 
worn out land under dry conditions where other grains would 
fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop for the purpose of eradi¬ 
cating wild oats. Makes early pasture and may be cut and 
cured for hay. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into 
the following season before maturing, thus making it a 
biennial. 
Rosen or Petkus Rye. A Winter Rye of recent introduction 
and is becoming very popular among growers of Winter Rye. 
It is said to yield more grain, stools more, and is hardier than 
the older types of Winter Rye. 
SOYBEANS 
Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow, are excellent as a summer catch 
crop and splendid soil builders, Soybean hay is one of the best 
roughages and when mixed with corn they make splendid 
ensilage. When harvested for seed, they should not be cut 
until pods are fully matured and the beans hard. 
WHEAT 
Marquis Spring Wheat is the standard, hard, red, spring wheat 
for irrigated sections of the West. It is early maturing and 
high yielding. Is beardless, short, stiff strawed. We will be 
able to supply both registered and non-registered seed. 
Turkey Red Winter Wheat. A standard red bearded wheat 
with a strong straw. It is early ripening. Kernels are large, 
red and hard. It is in good demand by millers. 
Ceres Red Spring Wheat (Rust Resistant). Ceres is a hard, 
red spring wheat. It is a bearded variety quite resistant to 
rust and an excellent yielder. It has a very good milling qual¬ 
ity and is especially recommended for the whole spring wheat 
section. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. Makes heads double the size of the com¬ 
mon kind. The yield is enormous from this variety. It has 
produced as high as 125 bushels to the acre. Plant 10 lbs. per 
acre.
