Bromus Inermis 
This is a grass that has no equal for hardiness and 
drought resistance. It will grow in any kind of soil and 
in any kind of weather. Produces an abundant hay crop, 
and makes an excellent pasture. Bronie Grass thickens 
up rapidly by underground roots or stems. A thin stand 
thus improves quickly. It forms a dense sod six to eight 
inches thick, binding the soil and preventing- it being 
Wind blown. Por prices see Yellow list, 
Timothy 
The principal thing to look at when about to sow Tim¬ 
othy, is the quality of the seed. Our reliable seed is 
tested, and is of superior quality. Ten pounds of good 
Timothy seed is sufficient for one acre, making an in¬ 
expensive crop to seed. Prices given on Special Field 
Seed price list, 
Timothy and Alsikc Mixed 
For those who prefer to sow Alsike Clover and Timothy 
together, we have a mixture that has the right propor¬ 
tions for growing a splendid hay crop. See Special Field 
Seed list for prices. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum family. It is an 
annual, lacking Underground root stalks. Two cuttings 
can be obtained under favorable conditions, and may 
yield from 2 to 5 tons of cured hay per acre. It should 
be seeded about corn planting time. If for hay, sow 
about 25 to 30 pounds to the acre broadcast. Cut just 
before it comes to a head. If wanted for silage, sow 
about 10 pounds to the acre in rows and cultivate the 
same as corn, or it may be sown with fodder corn if 
preferred. Sudan, if cultivated, will grow to a height of 
8 or 10 feet. See Special Field Seed price list for latest 
quotations. 
WHEAT 
Marquis Type Wheat 
A hard red spring wheat, beardless with long heads and 
very stiff straw of medium length. Kernels are short 
and thick and very plump. Ripens early, ahead of other 
spring varieties. Outyields nearly all spring wheats. 
See Field Seed list for prices. 
MILLET 
Millet is grown almost exclusively in these northern 
states for hay only, and we find that southern grown 
millet seed will produce a much heavier crop of finer 
hay than that grown from northern seed. We therefore 
offer only true southern grown seed in our millets. 
Early Fortune 
One of the proso millets that matures in 50 to 60 days 
after sowing. Seeds reddish brown, head compact. Sow 
25 pounds to the acre. See Special lisit for prices. 
German Millet 
This variety is the most popular of all millets. It 
should be cut when in full bloom, at which time it is 
most tender and sweet. Sow about 35 pounds to the 
acre. See Special list for prices* 
Hungarian Millet 
Is favored by some on account of its rapid growth, ma¬ 
turing about a week or ten days earlier than German 
Millet. Makes excellent hay, growing from two to four 
feet high. Prices listed oil Field Seed price list. 
Japanese Millet 
This is entirely distinct from any other millet. It grows 
from five to nine feet in height, and produces enormous 
crops of fine hay. If sown broadcast, sow fifteen to 
twenty pounds to the acre; in drills at the rate of ten 
pounds per acre. It does best on low, moist ground. 
Refer to Yellow list for prices. 
Siberian Millet 
Earlier than either German or Hungarian. Very val¬ 
uable for the North. Is extremely hardy, and drought 
resistant. Excellent for hay and is not subject to rust. 
For prices see Special price list. 
Thatcher Type Wheat 
Thatcher is the newest wheat variety introduced by the 
Minnesota Experiment Station. It is more rust resistant 
than most other varieties, beardless and is similar to 
Marquis in appearance, milling and baking qualities. It 
matures early and is a very heavy yielder. Please refer 
to Yellow List for prices. 
Winter Wheat 
This is a bearded, white chaffed winter wheat which 
produces kernels of the well-known Turkey type. Prices 
given on Yellow Field Seed price list. 
BARLEY 
Velvet Barley 
A new introduction from the Minnesota Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. It is a heavy yielder, has a very stiff straw and is 
more disease resistant than many other varieties. A 
smooth awned six rowed variety which in comparative 
test has been consistently a heavy yielder as compared 
with other varieties. See Special price list for prices. 
Manshury 
Is early and very vigorous in growth. It has a strong, 
stiff straw which very seldom lodges. The heads are 
long and well filled with grain of fine quality and color. 
It yields abundantly. For prices see our Yellow price list. 
Wisconsin No. 38 (Bdrbless) 
A new heavy yielding barley that is noted for its resist¬ 
ance to disease, stiffness of straw and the ability to 
withstand the extreme heat of summer better than most 
other varieties. One of the finest for malting. See Special 
list for prices. 
OATS 
FLAX 
Flax can be sown only about once in six or seven years 
on the same ground. It is a splendid crop to grow on 
new breaking, for it not only produces a good paying 
crop but it also helps to prepare the soil for future 
crops, leaving ground in a nice mellow condition. Be¬ 
fore sowing, it is especially important to have the ground 
well firmed. Sow 25 to 30 pounds to the acre, as early 
as possible and yet avoid the last killing spring frost. 
Bison Flax 
One of the new wilt-resistant varieties which has given 
very good results. Was developed at the Minnesota Ex¬ 
periment Station. Prices given on Yellow list. 
Common Flax 
Is used to a great extent on entirely new soil with very 
good results. We take special care of securing seed that 
is free from foul seeds. See Field Seed list for prices. 
RYE 
Spring Rye 
Makes an excellent crop for sowing where winter grain 
has been killed off or for soiling. It can also be grown 
for a grain crop by being seeded early in the spring and 
harvested in the same season, like wheat or oats. Does 
not grow quite so large a straw as winter rye, but 
usually yields well. Sow about 1% bushels to the acre. 
Latest prices are given on Special Field Seed list. 
Rosen Winter Rye 
Has proven itself to, be far superior to any other winter 
rye. It is a heavy yielder with large, well-filled heads 
and large dark green kernels. The straw is big and 
strong and will stand the weather better than any other 
variety. Refer to Yellow list for prices. 
CULTURE. Sow oats at the rate of 2 to 2V 2 bushels 
to the acre, very early in the spring on a well prepared 
field with a modern grain drill. Deep seeding on heavy 
clay soil is often fatal to the crop. Two inches is deep 
enough on a fine, compact seed bed. 
Gopher Oats 
Gopher is a white, early maturing, stiff straw'ed, variety 
especially adapted for southern Minnesota' conditions. 
It has shown remarkable yielding ability in central 
Minnesota and is a-good yielder on peat land.' Gopher is 
an extra early variety usually maturing before the hot 
weather and rust have a chance to affect it seriously. 
Its extreme earliness, resistance to lodging and rust and 
fine quality make it one of the most desirable oats for 
this section. See Special list for prices. 
Gould's Selected Swedish Oats 
These oats we do not hesitate to place ainong the best 
for our northern climate. It is a heavy yielder of large, 
plump, white kernels. The straw grows quite tall, and 
does well on medium or light soil. Its habit of growth 
is so vigorous that on heavy soil it is likely to lodge. 
See Yellow Field Seed list for prices. 
Sixty-Day Oats 
Is recognized as being the quickest maturing oats on the 
market. It is a good yielder and a sure cropper, being 
very often sown after other crops, have failed. It is a 
small yellowish oat that weighs about 34 pounds to the 
bushel; the hull is very thin. It is so early that it may 
be harvested with barley, and is three weeks ahead of 
most other sorts. See Special price list. 
N. K. & Co.’s Lincoln Oats 
Is another oat that has given very splendid results. 
Owing to its strong stiff straw it very seldom lodges 
and may be raised with marked success in very rich soil. 
Refer to Field Seed list for prices.
