A Wisconsin field of Reed Canary. 
Reed Canary Grass 
The New Grass for Wisconsin Lowlands. 
Reed Canary Grass is a very valuable new perennial 
hay and pasture crop especially desirable for low, marshy 
land. Nothing like it has been thus far produced as it 
puts land that is just a dead waste into production of 
valuable forage. Continues to grow without care or atten¬ 
tion. Very highly recommended by the Wisconsin and 
Minnesota Experiment Stations. 
Prices now are very low. Get started with this new 
grass while the seed is cheap. 
For Pasture it lengthens'the grazing season as it starts 
very early in the spring, and beginning before June 1st, 
will furnish an abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good quality hay, 
better than timothy and far superior to wild hay. Ordi¬ 
narily two or more cuttings can be made in a season. 
As high as seven tons of hay per acre have been produced 
in one season. 
CULTURE. Seed sown just before the ground freezes 
up will lie in the ground over winter and be ready to 
grow early in the spring. The ground in the fall is usually 
dry so that teams with implements can work the soil. 
Sow 4 to 6 pounds to the acre with a drill. Seed can 
also be sown in August and September with good results. 
There is danger, however, of young seedlings winter- 
killing, or drowning out in the spring, with unfavorable 
weather. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.60. See Price List 
for larger quantities.

TREAT YOUR FALL GRAINS WITH 
CERESAN 
Lower your production 
cost per acre—enlarge your 
profits—by increasing yields 
with New Improved Ceresan, 
the ethyl mercury phosphate 
dust disinfectant. Treat all 
fall grains with New Im¬ 
proved Ceresan to control 
seed-borne smuts and scab 
seeding blights. It is effec¬ 
tive and inexpensive. Only 
V 2 ounce (there is a mea¬ 
suring spoon in each can) is required per 
bushel of seed. Costs but 1% to 2%c a 
bushel of seed. Easily and quickly applied 
by 20 to 25 revolutions of seed treater or 3 
turnings with a shovel. Seed should be 
treated 24 hours before planting. No wetting 
of the seed nor reduced drilling rate. 
Prices: 1-lb. size, 70c; by mail, 80c; 5-lb. 
size, $3.00; by mail, $3.25. 
Winter Wheat 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 2 
If you are going to sow some winter wheat this fall 
and a few acres may prove very profitable, do not sow 
“just wheat’’ but sow Wisconsin Pedigree No. 2. This is 
one of the list of famous pedigree grains put out by the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station. It is from the well-known 
Turkey Red and has all the good characteristics of that 
variety—hard red grains, bearded heads, vigorous growth 
and extreme hardiness. 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 2 is the hardiest of all winter 
wheats for this section, produces large, plump kernels and 
outyields all others. 
See Price List for present prices. 
Winter Rye 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 6 WHITE 
PLANT RYE THIS FALL 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 6 is a new strain of winter 
rye recently released by the Wisconsin Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. Its strong feature is its very light color, almost pure 
white. Prof. Leith says: “The Pedigreed White Rye is the 
result of an effort to get a nicer appearing rye than we had 
in the old Pedigree Schlanstedt and meets the expectations 
of millers and bakers who prefer lighter colored ryes.’’ 
This new rye is just as good a yielder if not better than 
the old Wisconsin Pedigree and it has a big advantage in 
quality. It is also shorter in straw. We recommend it as 
the best in rye. 
See Price List for present prices. 
Parkland Brome 
THE NEW BROMUS INERMIS 
Parkland is a new variety of Brome developed 
by Experimental Associations in Canada. It is 
a selection of inbreds from the common Brome 
Grass (Bromus Inermis). It differs from com¬ 
mon Brome Grass essentially in that the plant 
lacks the strongly spreading underground stems, 
and the general type of plant that composes the 
strain is dense and leafy as opposed to the more 
open stemmy types found in commercial Brome. 
The plants are on the average slightly shorter 
but their yield of hay and seed is about the 
same as commercial Brome. The higher percent¬ 
age of leaves in Parkland makes a better quality 
hay. It is well adapted to dry and poor type 
soils. Parkland Brome is easily eradicated when 
planted with grass mixtures. It is a good com¬ 
panion grass with Alfalfa as it helps keep out 
the blue grass and it is a wonderful pasture 
grass. We are one of the first American seed 
houses to offer this new grass. Our stock is 
imported from Canada and 'is No. 1 grade. 
Prices: Lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.40, postpaid.
