Postage extra. See Inside front cover. 
Barley—Six-Rowed 
Finest sort for growing in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. Makes 
a good stiff straw, standing up well. Is the earliest variety, making 
a quick growing crop of excellent and nutritious green fodder, and 
is growing in popularity wherever used. It will also make a good 
grain crop, although its principal value is an early nutritious forage 
crop to feed green or to cure as hay. If for the latter it should be 
out when in the milky state. Sow 2H bushels per acre as early as 
ground can be worked. 
Per bu. (48 lbs.), $2.40; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
uckwheat—Japanese 
Makes the finest buckwheat flour. The seed is grown from the 
largest type imported from Japan, and is much larger in grain than 
that usuaUy offered. It ripens fully a week earlier than Silver Hull, 
straw is heavier and jdeld double. It branches more and does not 
need to be sown as thickly as other varieties. For bees it is of the 
greatest value and for this purpose has displaced all others. Sow 1 
bushel per acre in June or July. 
Per bu. (48 lbs.), $2.40; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
Selected Seed Oats 
New Victory. —This splendid, white branch Oat originated at 
the Royal Seed Breeding School of Svallof, Sweden. Straw is good 
length, stands up well and has a strong root system. Heads are 
branching and well filled with grain of the finest quality for milling 
ar feeding purposes. The New Victory has been grown successfully 
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, 
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska. In 
Shelby County, Ill., these Oats yield^ 134 Bushels per acre. 
Other states gave 3 delds of 00, 05, 100 and 105 bushels per acre. 
In Sweden where the weather was cool and ideal for maturing an 
oat crop, the Victory Oats sdelded 125 to 150 bushels per acre, 
grain testing 40 to 48 pounds per bushel. 
Per bu. (32 lbs.), $1.92; lb., 15c.; 10 lbs., 90c.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
Swedish Select. —Scientific breeders of seed in Sweden have 
devoted themselves to the improvement of Oats. Probably Swed¬ 
ish Select is the best all-around oat among them. It thrives well 
on all soils, is a strong grower and a great drought resister. The 
grain is short, plump and heavy. This variety is strongly recom¬ 
mended by the United States Department of Agriculture. 
Per bu. (32 lbs.), $1.60; lb., 13c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
Speltz or Emmer 
This grain is of comparatively recent introduction in this country. 
It is claimed by some to be the primitive wheat, the kind grown by 
the ancients. It resembles rye in habit of growth, is early, will 
stand drought, yields well, makes a fine pasture or hay. The grain 
resembles wheat, but has a husk like barley. Sow in spring broad¬ 
cast or in drills 1)^^ to 2 bushels per acre. 
Per bu. (40 lbs.), $2.00; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
Sorghum or Cane—Early Amber 
Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, which can be 
fed either green or cured; and will yield two or three cuttings a 
year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. The saccharine mat¬ 
ter is of the ^est quality, and it also produces a fine sugar or syrup. 
It grows ten to twelve feet high. This is the favorite sort in Northern 
and many Western States. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre 
in drills 3}^ to 4 feet apart. 
Per bu. (50 lbs.), $4.00; lb., 16c.; 10 lbs., $1.10; 100 lbs., $8.00. 
Sunflower—Mammoth 
Russian 
Usually a very profitable field crop, the seed being used for bird 
and poultry feed. Plant and cultivate same as com. 
Lb., 25c.; 10 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., $15.00. 
Spring Rye 
Although this grain is often plated, especially for papermakers. 
who prefer it to any other, its principal value is as a “catch” crop 
to sow where winter grain has failed. The straw is shorter and 
stiffer than that of the winter variety and is more easily harvested. 
The grain although smaller, is of equal value. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $2.80; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
Winter Rye 
Abruzzl. —This variety of winter rye is becoming more popular 
each year. It is ready for grazing about ten days earlier than any 
other sort, and will produce nearly as much grain. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $2.52; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 70c.; 100 lbs., $4.50. 
Rosen. —This new Russian rye is said to be the best variety now 
grown. The grain is large, plump and of light color. Straw is 
strong, very long and stands up well. The heads are long, well filled 
and an unusually heavy 3 delder. The Rosen is a distinct improve¬ 
ment over common rye and should be more extensively grown. 
Sow 1^ bushels per acre. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $2.24; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 65c.; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
Jersey, or Common. —For plowing under. 
Per bu. (56 lbs.), $1.96; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 60c.; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Spring Wheat—Marquis 
This famous variety is of Canadian origin. It attracted great 
attention at the New York Grain Exposition in 1911 when it was 
awarded the $1000 prize given by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy for the 
best wheat in America. It is extremely early and productive. A 
five year average at the Brandon Experiment Station was 44 bushels 
per acre. Milling tests show that it contains a neater amount of 
gluten, is a better color and shows greater absorption than any other 
spring wheat. 
Per bu. (60 lbs.), $3.00; lb., 12c.; 10 lbs., 80c.; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
Winter Seed Wheat 
Sow in drills or broadcast 1^ to 2 bushels per acre in September 
or October, north of Virginia; further south as late as November. 
Per bu. (60 lbs.), $2.70; lb., 10c.; 10 lbs., 70c.; 100 lbs., $4.50. 
Forward. —A red seeded, beardless variety, descended from one 
smooth headed plant found in a field of bearded Fulcaster, at Cornell 
in New York State College. This variety has the general character¬ 
istics of Fulcaster; producing the same size heads and grain, and 
maturing at the same time. It is fairly rust-resistant, and has a 
white straw. 
Fulcaster. —This is a red grained, bearded variety; producing 
large heads and large plump grain. It is winter-resistant, and does 
particularly well on lowlands or low pockets, where other varieties 
occasionally go down with rust. It has a tall, stiff straw, with 
purple color. 
Klondike. —An exceptionally vigorous, white grained, bald wheat. 
A great stooler and withstands unfavorable weather conditions 
better than most white grained varieties. An excellent sort for 
milling. 
Leap’s Prolific. —This is a red grained, beardless variety, and 
produces extremely large heads, larger than other varieties. The 
heads are slightly tapering. It stands erect; has stiff, white straw, 
and under favorable conditions is one of the heaviest yielding of all 
varieties of wheat making record yields. 
Nittany. —A selection made out of Fulcaster, by the Pennsylvania 
State College. It has a slight advantage over Fulcaster in the 
mountain section of Pennsylvania, where a late maturing variety 
avoids the possibility of late freezes. It is a bearded variety, with 
red grains; maturing a few days after Fulcaster.
