WINTER WHEAT 
YORKWIN. (New.) Now considered the best white winter wheat 
grown as it is much more resistant to loose smut than Honor. The heads 
are of good size, smooth chaff, and well filled with kernels of medium 
hardness and are very plump. The yield is high and the milling quali¬ 
ties are very good. The yield is much higher than common kinds. 
We will have New York State Certified Seed of Yorkwin to offer 
in August. Lowest prices will be quoted after harvest. Please write. 
SPRING WHEAT 
Spring wheat can be raised anywhere in the northeastern states as well 
as in the West. Sow as early as possible. 
Marquis. A very early beardless wheat that succeeds well in the East, 
producing larger yields than any other spring kind. This is due to its 
earliness and freedom from rust. 
Pk. 80c; Bu. $2.70; 2 Bu. or more $2.50 per Bu. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation.

Sudan Grass 
Produces Immense Yields of Excellent Hay on Dry Soil. 
DON’T FORGET THE HOME GARDEN! 
We have put up ready to mail, a collection of vegetbale seed for the home 
garden, at a much reduced price. This collection contains seeds of the finest 
varieties, and will give one an excellent variety of vegetables in the home 
garden. See page 7. 
FORAGE CROPS, COVER CROPS, Etc. 
There are many plants suitable for forage and soiling that should be 
better known and grown more than they are. They are of great value 
both for stock feeding and improving worn-out soil. 
They are also of great value to provide emergency hay and feed crops. 
Prices quoted here are subject to market changes and lo our stocks 
being unsold. Purchaser pays transportation, except where quoted 
“Transportation paid.” 
We will quote lowest prices on any seed required. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Being a legume Canada Field Peas take nitrogen from the air and thus 
enrich the soil. 
Grown principally for the vines which make hay, equal to the best 
clover hay. Sow with oats and cut when the oats head out, but before the 
grain is ripe. This makes excellent hay for sheep, horses and cows. It is 
as easily cured as clover and will yield large crops. Sow 1}4 bu. of peas 
and 1 bu. of oats per acre. 
Pk. $1.30; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $4.60; Bag of 2 Bu. $9.00. Price for larger lots 
will be quoted by letter at any time. 
MILLET 
JAPANESE. One of the largest millets. Very large crops can be 
raised with this variety, nearly double that of common millet. The hay 
is relished by horses, cows and sheep. Even when allowed to ripen its 
seed and threshed out, the remaining hay is readily eaten by stock, so 
that there is no waste. 
Sow about the same time corn is planted. It is usually sown broad¬ 
cast. Cut when it heads out, and before the seed ripens. Does best on 
sandy loam or medium light soil. 
Pk. 75c; Bu. (35 Lbs.) $2.55; Sack of 2 Bu. $5.00. 
Golden Millet. Makes a good heavy growth of hay suitable for cattle. 
Grows 2J/2 feet high, has large yellow and brown seed heads. Sow in 
July for fall crops. 
Pk. 70c; Bu. (50 Lbs.) $2.35; Sack of 2 Bu. $4.50. 
Hungarian. Matures a week or so earlier than Golden Millet, and thus 
can be sown later. It makes fine quality hay. Grows 2 feet tall. The 
heads are brown. 
Pk. 85c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $2.90; Sack of 2 Bu. $5.75. 
SUDAN GRASS 
A Wonderful Forage Plant. Sudan grass succeeds well on dry soil 
where other millets would not amount to anything. Immense yields of 
excellent hay are obtained, especially when the seed is sown quite early 
and two cuttings are made. If left to mature it grows 5 to 6 ft. tall and 
makes excellent ensilage. Cows, horses and sheep eat it readily and eat 
it up clean. Sow broadcast or drill in rows 20 to 24 inches apart about 
the time corn is planted, and cultivate two or three times. 
Sudan Grass can be sown as late as July but it will only give one 
cutting when sown this late. 
Lb. 20c; 5 Lbs. 60c; transportation paid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. $1.35; 
100 Lbs. $5.00; 50 Lbs. or more will be supplied at the 100 Lb. price. 
VETCH 
HAIRY or SAND VETCH. Vicia viliosa. A trailing plant of the pea 
family which grows 4 to 5 feet in length and has dark green leaves and 
small stems. It makes fine hay, but is used mostly as a cover crop. 
Being a Legume it takes nitrogen from the air and adds it to the soil. 
The best time to sow is from August 15th to September 15th. Mix 
the vetch with rye. (1 bu. grain and 30 to 40 lbs. of vetch per acre.) 
It, is best to drill the seed in, but it may be sown broadcast if well 
covered. The rye helps to support the vetch vines and makes them 
easier to mow or plow under. On fairly good soil, vetch will make a 
great growth, forming a mat 2 ft. deep. Vetch and rye sown in corn 
after the last cultivation makes an ideal seed bed for potatoes. 
Pk. (15 Lbs.) $2.55; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $8.50; 100 Lbs. $14.00. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 
Rye and Vetch Mixed. After harvest next summer we can furnish Hairy 
Vetch and Winter Rye mixed at a lower price than for the two separate. 
Write next August for full particulars and prices.
